"Nolan tonight showing how the disciples of Sam A are out of touch with the way the game is going" Long standing Everton fan on Twitter this evening

Factoid alert According to my reliable source (my daughter's boyfriend - who was at school with the Notts County scorer Jorge Grant), Grant and our sub Barrett are best mates

If Biamou has now scored 8 goals - given that he has not played in every game by a long chalk does that mean he now has a reasonable goals / minute ratio now?

Can't even go to the pub and watch as I have a sick dog to look after (he's black and white!) I will be glued to this screen. I originally thought first game would be 2-1 or 1-1 and we would be thumped in the second. I don't think we will be thumped unless we go behind and have to chase the game...

attacking bench - only MacD is a full on defender. JMD Ponti JCH Reid all attackers - with two of those clear duplication - Reid and JMD. can't imagine he would ever use both Not sure how to interpret that JMD does at least take a good corner

Unless the ref was running exactly behind the incident, in which case he would have been horribly out of position for any further action, then it must have looked like a penalty from where he stood. The odds on the defender giving away a penalty going in hard when in that part of the pitch are...

Is there a "wisdom of the crowds" emerging here, not withstanding the outliers like Londonccfcfan Burge: Grimmer, Willis, Rod & Stokes at the back, no change in midfield, Sparky and JCH up front McDonald was the star player for the first half of the season. Check the player ratings Where the...

2-1 or 1-0. It will be close

Their top scorer is Jorge Grant (pronounced George - mum is Portuguese), he was an alumni of the school down the road from me here in Witney, and also a mate of my daughter's boyfriend, so we have kept half an eye on him this year. He is on his second loan spell from Notts Forest, not that big...

During Gordon Milne's time the advice was we needed 11,000 to break even.We struggled for that sometimes My first game - Peterborough in the third div in autumn '63 - 29,002 We have seen this year attendance follows success. Probably needs to be continued to build up a bigger base on which to...

You are just not used to competitive football this late in the football year

1-0 at home (or 2-1) thumped away

i can do 8 not Kirk and Mason Kearns is the surprise - in the modern era Grendel would have been on his case

Stick with form, the issue is not who but in what shape Burge Grimmer, Willis, Davies, Stokes, Bayliss, Kelly, Doyle Shipley, McNulty JCH - not sure on the best way to use Biamou - probably as sub, but don't feel strongly either way - key thing is that Bayliss is not left out on the right wing...

Mansfield will be the most motivated, Crawley along with Yeovil the least. City and Morecambe caught in between, fearing defeat rather than needing victory (the most dangerous place imho) Barring flukes City 2 - 2 Morecambe - too many cock ups all round by both sides Lincoln 3 - 1 Yeovil...

Biamou, Bayliss & Davies

If we had Jodi; and Kelly is now playing well; and Doyle is essential, and then there is Bayliss; and what about when Andreu comes back; and Shipley is left sided and playing ok. Who gets the chop? Doyle on age grounds, but in a 4 man midfield, what is the best combo? Might be best to get some...

A tough win, 2-1. We do seem to have got the scoring boots back on. Any idea on how good Lincoln's goalie is? We have benefited from some utterly crap goalkeeping lately - it is the most obvious area where League 2 is big gap from the division above, and a reason why Burge is actually quite...

"our"

this could come down to goal difference folks. On form every one of the sides in contention should win this weekend - we are trading at a small disadvantage in respect of pour goal difference compared with Lincoln and Mansfield. So I'd like a 3-0 or similar
