From the outside looking in, it does/did feel like quite a sensible idea. However, it would have had to come over the summer - to be honest I’m amazed they didn’t look to do something akin to this, having 2-week half terms in October and February with that time taken from the summer holidays. In...

How does a business that makes ongoing operational losses plan to fund the construction of a new stadium? How will this then remain financially feasible?

I think it’s a thing of beauty.

Thing is (and I say this as part of the Thick Fucking Dickheads brigade) that is exactly how it feels when there is no fucking consistency from one week/month to another. This entire thing has been a mishmash of tier systems, the 5 stages earlier on in the pandemic which quietly went away, mixed...

What an absolute pit of shite this is. Can’t be fucked with it any more. We’ve just proven that things have got worse (with Cov moving from 2 to 3 and Nuneaton/Bedworth moving from 1 to 3) during the 4-week full lockdown, where there was basically only schools and essential shops open. Turns out...

It’s one of the reasons I’m not going all-in like some on this new formation/system. Easy to say our results have improved but fuck me, they’re two of the worst sides we’ve played. I’m still confident that even in a 352 we beat both handily - suppose we’ll never know. It’s also rather...

Nope, wants me to buy a match pass again.

Wasn’t he out with a foot injury in October kind of time last year? Wonder if it is a reoccurring thing.

Well I have a horrible feeling mine still won’t work properly. Not really used iFollow for a home game yet given most of them have been on TV, but had one (think it was Blackburn) where my season ticket wasn’t recognised and I had to re-but the stream. Following that I raised it with the club...

Nope, definitely not me. Never even been to Michael Wood Services...

Also beat them at Ninian Park in about 2007 thanks to a Jay Tabb goal. Mad traffic on the way meant most fans (including me) got to the game at half time and missed the goal. Official coaches didn’t arrive until 15 minutes from the end. Still got to see Darren Purse miss a last minute penalty...

Difficult when there’s very few bastard trains!

Is it standard practice in other towns/cities to have to pay an additional fee for collection of garden waste or is that the preserve of Nuneaton?

Well it was bloody freezing this morning, but dragged myself out for 5 half-mile intervals (1 minute rest in between). Tough on the lungs when the air is that cold.

This.

Also don’t see it as a must-win - but it’s a game we can’t really afford to lose. A point would do me on the proviso that we pick up some wins in the following 5 fixtures.

I think what annoys me most is that we’ve seen we can compete with some decent teams at this level, but chuck in the odd mistake (or more) and we’re much worse off than where we could be. I don’t think lower mid table is beyond our reach at all, but we have to think about what we want from...

In which case, do we play Pask at RB in a back 4 when Dabo isn’t available? Dabo looked a shadow of his former self in a back 4 and it really felt like it didn’t suit him, but there was also no width up the pitch to give him an out ball. Part of the problem for me tonight.

Stepped up to 6km today, which I really didn’t find difficult but then I think I ‘paced myself’ a bit too much - just under 40 minutes. Rest up and will probably do it again on Monday.

There was a tv show on a few years back called The Doctor Who Gave Up Drugs. Basically, doctor refused to prescribe pills unnecessarily as part of a social experiment. Found that even the patients weren’t satisfied unless they were lumped with some prescription for something or another. Strange...
