We really ought to establish charges for GP, A&E and even overnight stays in hospitals. Prescription charges were introduced because demand was too high and people would get medicines they didn't need e.g. paracetamol. A Government serious about 'fixing' healthcare provision in the UK needs to...

There's always a first time. Before we beat Boro in the playoffs, we hadn't won their since 1993 and now we've won the last 4 away there. Throughout the noughties and 2010s, we were dross so we've stacked a fair few boogie teams and stadiums over those years!

They've got a tough run themselves; Birmingham, Hull, Boro, Sheff U and ourselves all to play by Jan 21st. Oxford away is potential banana skin for them on Boxing Day. Southampton's run has been good, but in context, they lost their most difficult fixture v Millwall. Beating QPR, Sheff W...

People said that after Ipswich got battered by Leeds a few season ago, myself included. It's easy to look at the score line and believe Ipswich battered us. They didn't and the game was closer than the score line suggested, much like us pummeling Millwall has done nothing to stop being in and...

I hope he gets well soon!

I don't think they will, they drop too many points. Pretty sure their fans would've trade 6 points v Oxford and Blackburn rather than the satisfaction of beating us handily. If we beat PNE and Bristol, we probably extend our lead at the top of the table and we have a date in December to put the...

My thoughts are with you and your family! I'm happy to see that after a close call, Mrs King is safe and getting better! It's nice that the whole community stepped up to support too! Everyone who responded quicker can be proud of yourselves! It's heartening to see that despite all the differing...

As things stand, we'll probably be back to 'full strength' tomorrow because Sakamoto and Torp will be back in the mix. The only missing player is BTA. Sakamoto was out through the concussion protocol, Torp was 'taken ill' the night before the game and Haji is back now. Southampton is...

I agree but if there was ever a game to try this, it was against Ipswich but instead we played 4-2-3-1 and KKH looked awkward as a RW. Sakamoto is fit for PNE so I can't see us playing anything other than 4-2-3-1 to start the match on Tuesday. Been banging on about the need to sign wingers...

We should've been fresher than Wrexham and Ipswich who had 3 game weeks and somehow, we've lost both. I really don't understand that, at least the latter would've rotated the squad significantly.

I'm not that worried about it all yet because the majority of the goals have been from set pieces which is an easier fix than getting carved open from open play. Ipswich's 2nd and 3rd goals game about because we had 10 players in their half chasing a goal, v much the reverse when beat Millwall...

Was it a good movie? I've arranged to watch it with the other half on Friday. The Everyman cinema is a bit overrated imo, the chairs can get uncomfy for a longer 2+ hour movie. Give me a showcase cinema with the reclining chairs all day! Watched Wicked: For Good on Friday and I do not have the...

Fast forward to the 2030s, Tony will be back voting for Kemi or Farage.

Mexico in Mexico City would be mental.

Exactly, agreed. I’ve been banging this drum all season and it’s been the games that we’ve dropped points that we’ve been unable to change the tide of games. In reality, we don’t have the bodies to fill a bench right now.

As Oggy said, if he doesn’t give Eccles a yellow, there’s not much to moan about. He did, which makes it look shambolic when he doesn’t call the second incident.

It answered definitively that KKH is not a winger. He’s a good player but not a wide player you need when chasing a game from 1-0 down. 4/5 of our top goal scorers were out of the starting 11, it’s going to be a tough game for any team in those circumstances.

Your view is fair imo. Going into this game, we were missing 4 of our top 5 goal scorers and that’ll impact any team. Even so, football is a game of fine margins, if we score the shot that hits the post or the referee books Hirst a second time, we probably win the game comfortably. Soft goal...

The ref bottled it and it’s cost us the game. It epitomises just how frustrated fans are with the game. Two like for like incidents refereed completely different. A yellow card offence still warrants a yellow card whether or not they’ve had their first card. Strong reaction on Tuesday please!

There’s a lot of positives to take from this performance. 1st half, we weee the better team, concede a goal against the run of play. The second half was a reverse Millwall away where we conceded goals 2 and 3 because we were pushing for a goal. The squad is thin. 2 goalkeepers and 4 defenders...
