That's a difficult call. We did have some awful atmosphere at HR games too. When we left HR we were on a downward trajectory and might have even been relegated that season, but for the positivity and larger crowds that those final games against Forest and Derby generated. The initial years at...

There is probably a tipping point at which the Government have to balance economic interests against public health interests. It is not feasible that they can cover the costs of people not working in the long term, without it having a grave impact on us all in the future, which in turn will...

Huckerby always seemed to hit top form in December/ January for some reason, and this coincided with that period.

I imagine it is being considered, like everything else. However, the likes of Bolton and Southend deserve to go down and should do so.The only 'fair' scenario is for the remaining games to be played, whenever that might be and whereby issues of promotion and relegation are decided on the pitch...

You're making a common mistake that football fans understandably make in thinking that players automatically coach in the style they are deemed to have played in. At his previous clubs Mark Robins is viewed as defensive minded, despite having been a centre forward, while I don't recall Adi...

I didn't mean it the way you are interpreting. I'm sure all the players and the teams they play for would be happy to extend the loans with us, but will our League 1 rivals? To extend loans beyond their contract would have to be something agreed by the majority, and most of our rivals will not...

Hughes played well for us in his first season at HR. After that though Morrell's words really do ring true, where Hughes played like he couldn't be arsed. If the players saw this though, it doesn't say much for the manager letting him get away with such behaviour and still playing him. Must have...

You are right that all contracts run as standard to the end of June, but loans however run only to the end of May to cover the prospects of play offs. As such there is a danger we could lose the services of McCallum, Walsh & O'Hare beyond that date, unless there is a common agreement to extend...

Baker?

We've played Rotherham twice. In this scenario we would have 3 games to play

Yes never heard it myself, just remember people talking about it afterwards. I've got a book in front of me based on our 'elite' era which gives a brief precis of every game played in the top flight where it diplomatically reads 'Les Sealey's display is unsatisfactory'. As an aside our team...

This is up there with the most ridiculous ideas I've heard for settling the season, completely devaluing the 34 games played already.

I remember the Forest game fairly well. I think it was the game that made us safe from relegation, but put Forest deeper in the mire, so there was a lot riding on it. Forest were awful and created next to nothing, we dominated so it was another celebratory game for us.

He was a decent keeper, but that last game definitely left a bad taste and affected his reception by our fans thereafter. I thought it was the West End, that he let the soft goals in and where he made out that he was deliberately letting goals in (perhaps he did the same in both half's). While...

Wycombe's game in hand is away to us, so given where we were when football stopped, they would probably have been expected to lose, and therefore remain outside the play offs by those teams currently above them. There is no obviously fair way to decide 3rd place or the play off positions without...

Nothing fair about Bolton and Southend not getting relegated. They deserve to go down.

My Dad was from Nottingham and a County fan, and my mum was from Cov. I was born down South while my Dad was was in the Army, and when he left we temporarily moved to Cov, while he sorted a new job out. I was 7 at the time when my Dad took me to my first game at Highfield Road, and other than...
