    Pressley would love a go, but unfortunately even a draw is beyond him right now.

    Jackson and Miller allowed to leave

    The key point here is that Pressley has once again shown he can't spot a player. Which is exactly why we have a sub-standard squad that is consistently outplayed by our opposition, whichever division they may come from. There are no excuses left. Pressley is a poor, poor manager. I love his...

    Article on Pressly signings record..

    Jim O'Brien is the only real hit as far as I'm concerned. Maybe Reda too. The other 30 were poor signings. His record for signing strikers is worse than Barry Fry's.

    If Kevin Keegan was our manager...

    All I want is to see players giving their all to win a game of football. Instead we see players trying a bit not to concede. And in the main they are terrible at it. I want to see midfielders get the ball and try to play into attacking areas, not pass it back to the centre backs. I want to see...

    WARNING: Shocking Uncut Video

    He can blame the players all he wants, but the truth is that his tactics suck. Against Worcester, I lost count of the times it was tippy-tappy, followed by poor control, followed by a hoof to Jackson. At five-foot-fuck-all he was never going to win a header. And the midfield was so deep, twenty...

    Am I correct in thinking....................

    How depressing that people are arguing about which of the last three seasons has seen the shittest league position in decades. How utterly, utterly depressing.

    Is the dressing room lost?

    The way I see it, the players don't buy into the philosophy. It's all tippy-tappy shit, and then - because of their skill level - someone loses it on the halfway line and we're immediately on the back foot. We make so many basic errors game-in, game-out, too. How many corners do we concede...

    Should Pressley be sacked imminently?

    Yes. His lack of managerial ability is clear to see. He runs out the same tired old cliches week in, week out. Time to fall on his sword before he gets the boot.

    My first reaction is to say 'LOL'. That's how low it is.

    How long are you willing to give pressley

    Pressley had said himself that the expectation is that we challenge for promotion. If he doesn't come close to achieving that, he should fall on his sword. I'll wait and see for a while longer, but if I have to watch incessant triangles between the back 5 and deep-sitting midfielders until we...

    Has noone picked up on this?! ... Why does Pressley....

    He threw Reda up-top v Bradford too. I assume its a tactic that helps defend from the front and cause confusion.

    Beards are well and truly back.......

    There's a bloke at my work who has a tremendous beard. I can't stop staring at it, but I worry he'll catch me and think that I'm a bit odd.

    16,000 where were you?

    The holier-than-thou shit is a bit annoying to be honest. If I'd known we were coming back to the Ricoh I'd have put money aside for a season ticket, but as last season ended - and this started - at Sixfields, I didn't. And the £20 cost of a ticket becomes £30-35 when you add on car-parking and...

    16,000 where were you?

    A week before payday, and silly me thought paying for petrol to get to work, and food for the family, was a little more important. I hope you can accept my humble apologies.

    Yeovil Thread

    I guess this is why we shouldn't judge forwards solely on goals. If his presence creates space and chances for others, then he deserves his place. Sometimes people are too quick to write people off before seeing them play.

    At this rate we'll be 7 points outside the relegation zone. I'll be having a tumbler of whiskey to celebrate if we hold on.

    Sorry if it's been mentioned, but according the the BBC, Yeovil only have 5 subs..?

    Yeovil Thread

    On course for the third 1-0 in a row, and fourth in 8 games. On course for the 5th clean sheet in 8 games too. Not as much fun as last season, but they're the kind of stats that get a team up near the top of the table.

    Bradford - Yeovil 1-3

    Why would anyone think Yeovil would be an easy game? We love football because it's so unpredictable. We beat Everton, the league champions, to stay up on the last game of the season one year (can't remember which?). Palace derailed Liverpool's title challenge last season. The only easy games...

    What formation would you play?

    Shape and formation are two different things. Regardless, my point still stands.
