    So... Saturday's fixtures

    If you look at all March's fixtures it could be well toward the end of the month before we are safely in the play-offs. Exeter have Chesterfield at home above, and in March our rivals have a good number of similarly quite easy games. Exeter have a generally easy run. The one to watch, coming the...

    GW46 - Where we should have V did finish this season

    How do you factor in that with so many clubs in the running - 9 excluding Luton - for 2 places the points requirement may fall? More teams will drop points to fellow contenders. Playing the club that are 10th would usually be seen as a certain win, not this year, it could be Accrington Stanley.

    Another confessions time anyone??

    Go to Wasps as there is a great atmosphere and as I have no affection for the Ricoh per se, It will never be Highfield Road., I think the MK solution to Wimbledon's was the right one - I can't work out why people get so lathered about it. I regard MK as my "second team". Wolves are the real...

    7833toMK.... come on back the lads.

    Well I will make the trip. But then I don't care that much about franchises - football or rugby - they are the way of the world. We are customers of a business - every football fan is. Always thought the MK move made complete sense and I really enjoyed the one day out I have had at Wasps ( it...

    Round 4 : who do you want ?

    In which case I would take any of those. Or even Posh as the Villa result was as statistically unlikely as us winning. A pointless thrashing away to a Prem club away is to be avoided, regardless of the pay day. A run to the 5th Round would be dandy for morale and a little money. For everyone...

    Round 4 : who do you want ?

    Peterborough away. The odds surely favour us being drawn away - we have had 3 in a row at home. Therefore I want the most winnable away game. I think Posh are the lowest ranked team before us still left in. Replay, win at home then drawn again at home against a Prem side, going out with honour...

    Does Robbins chop and change to much?

    Knowl has posted on Twitter about the number of changes made by Robbins being a problem, and a reason for disappointment. Venture to differ V Notts County August 2017: O'Brien: Grimmer Hyam McDonald Stokes: Vincenti Kelly Doyle Jones: McNulty Beavon The ideal starting line-up would have had...

    Match Thread Port Vale - Coventry City Match Thread - Tuesday 26th Dec

    Last game involved a fluke and a dodgy penalty, so lets not get carried away. It could have been all doom and gloom on here for the last few days. Not withstanding that as the couple of games have involved more goals for and against than typically previously, has Robbins changed the plan? One...

    Player Ratings V Lincoln

    On the TV highlights, you can see Burge is lightning quick at getting back on his feet when their header hist the bar. He takes the second effort comfortably standing up

    Match Thread Luton Town - Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 28th Oct

    Would have preferred the defensively more solid Stokes to Haynes for such a tough opponent. Seems odd to gamble when it is a tough game and not against easier opponents like Colchester at home. Almost willing it to fail. Equally but would have preferred Nazon to McNulty Glad Vincenti is in...

    Nobody yet has tonked the back 4 of Grimmer McDonald Willis Stokes with Kelly and Doyle in front ...for all the fact that all bar MacD have attracted plenty of criticism, and even MacD got some for his performance at Barnet. This is their toughest challenge and the game for Robbins has to...

    Phone in Tonight - Potentially something "big"

    It all seems a bit far fetched to me. All the stuff above about why did he not use proper communications channels seems right, unless you are a part time gambler who just happens to have struck big and so don't know the rules of the game. The odds must be stacked against

    A draw will do fine, preferably 0-0 - to keep the clean sheet thing going.

    What's the possibility of us being at The Butts next season?

    Pretty well all modern stadiums are bowls. This maximizes the capacity but removes the sense of shape - the West End, the Kop etc etc.

    Or 11000 that feels like a mausoleum, which it does
