    The Run In

    Doesn't current form depend a lot on the rub of the fixture list - when the sample is only 4-6 games. I think the recent form table suffers from this. Crewe were quite high, but do not seem that good (Bowery apart). Could just have been their fixtures. Accrington would be lucky to maintain...

    Newport

    Last game before the first attempt at all-seater some time in the 80's - against Middlesbrough iirc. Gillespie score the only goal - got absolutely pissed on

    Bayliss

    The sale of Bayliss could pay for the 2/3 new midfielders we will need if promoted. Shipley and Vincenti will ok as become squad members but not regular first team; Andreu, I assume, will drop into the Bayliss slot, and Kelly takes over possibly from Doyle, who retires. We will also need a new...

    Match Thread Coventry City at Newport County Match Thread - Friday 30th Mar

    Shouts 1-1 - they are good at home, and have just lost there iirc so not likely twice to do so. They are the kind of rough tough side we have struggled against. But they have also just slipped away from the play offs so may not be quite up for it Unfortunately we are at the stage where there is...

    That's interesting and would bugger up my calculations

    The Run In

    1966-67 2nd Div promotion side went 25 without defeat, featuring the man to your left in a starring role (I saw the last defeat at home against Crystal Palace, and the first win of nthe run - against Cardiff - Gibbo got 2 )

    Paints the away win at Crewe in a better light

    The Run In

    Carlisle worth a punt at 50/1 - Mansfield and Swindon stumble, Lincoln have a hard run in.

    Simple Thread: Points & Position

    Thats funny I just typed that (or similar). Newport to lose at home twice on the bounce, maybe not, but a draw certainly

    Simple Thread: Points & Position

    Wycombe 84, Exeter & City 82 each but we come 5th. 5 wins 3 draws - can't see a reason for losing to either Newport or Notts County, now the team is settled. Hell's teeth we are even scoring from midfield (Vincenti) Interestingly these are equal to or greater than the historic norm for 3rd place...

    The Run In

    Are you saying results always follow form? 1. The question was what result do we prefer? - Notts County to win, because it erodes Wycombe's lead over City 2. Does that mean that we are just replacing Wycombe with a new threat in the form of Notts County? - No, Notts County are likely to stumble...

    League One or League Two

    I thought League 1 standard surprisingly good, but there is an awful lot of dross (particularly goal keepers) in League 2. Full backs just don't close down - ours included. You see goals that should never happen - Clarke-Harris at Crewe and Vincenti last Saturday to name two recent ones. Coaches...

    The Run In

    1. Bookies rightly have Exeter as more likely than us, they have two nasty away games but could easily win the rest. 2. Despite all the talk, including from me, that the closeness of the struggle would mean a lower points total being required for the autos, it does look as though 82 points is...

    Match Thread Coventry City vs Grimsby Town Match Thread - Saturday 24th Mar

    I wait for the moment when Burge throws the ball to Haynes who hits a long ball to Biamou who scores. Unlikely I know but it would be fun on here..........

    Grimsby Highlights

    Grimsby were woeful on the basis of this snippet. Reid had half an hour to put in that cross for the fourth. Suppose this is League 2 for you
