Kelly played 35 minutes 2 weeks ago vs Rotherham and was fit enough to play 90 minutes at FGR 11 days ago. Without Godden or McFadzean in the team we don't have a single player over 25 years old in that starting XI although many of them have plenty of league experience already. I'd rather we...

Robins must know he's gonna get absolute pelters if we don't win in front of a large following, after leaving out arguably our 2 best players this season and on the back of 2 defeats. So yeah, I think it's a brave decision. Doesn't mean i think it's a good decision though :)

Some brave decisions in that team selection. No Mason or Kelly in the starting line up and Godden injured. From the offal: Striker Amadou Bakayoko comes into the starting eleven this afternoon for the clash against MK Dons. Baka makes his first league start since the 0-0 draw with Bolton...

Considering we had a 10 game unbeaten run and are 3 points off the autos, it's surprisingly slim pickings!

Or at least a blog :P It was probably too long a post for a footy forum though!

Stewart Robson, Lee Hurst? Not 100% sure they were ACLs but as they were both effectively career ending, I'd guess they were. I've a feeling injuries are reported on in greater detail these days. Would have just been a 'knee injury' 20+ years ago.

There's been some debate this week around goal difference, shooting stats, whether the formation should change or is it the players within it. I'd like to share some stats on when we score and how it influences the season. It seems to me that when you score, especially against teams in the...

Sounds like something CWR's Martin Winch could have helped with.

Here's the last 3 L1 seasons sorted by 'Wins by a 1 goal margin' and marked with league position. I think it's a slightly different angle than pure goal difference. 18 of our 23 wins in L1 since promotion have been by a 1 goal margin (78%) Last season, 2018/2019, there's a clear trend with...

Yep. My own team play at 2pm though so I'd have only caught the first 30 mins anyway which softens the blow a bit.

and any matches where we might wear a completely unnecessary 3rd kit.

Yep. 7-7 both missed one.

Andy Rose has kept us in it though Clive!

I've heard from a reliable source it's the new stadium plans and a 3rd kit.

Such a weird thing to get irked about. So what if it's unnecessary? You don't have to own it to be allowed to watch games or to be a fan of the club. The team themselves might only wear it once or twice but if it is two-tone themed and as well made as the current shirts it will be more than just...

A by-product of the late winners and equalisers. Rotherham was almost 80 minutes losing and we've been behind at Wimbledon and Blackpool before coming back to win and also behind at Portsmouth and Donny before last gasp equalisers. We've only scored one goal in the opening 15 minutes, home or...

Should be a good evening for all: Kyle Mcfadzean in the stocks - 3 water sponges for a quid. Dom Hyam manning the 'catch a rat'. Marosi will perform some mime artistry under his stage name Morose. There will also be Sniffer dogs - 5 sniffs for a quid or, if you want the dog to sniff you, 3...

Can we skip player ratings this week? It was depressing enough to watch live.
