Their top scorer is Jorge Grant (pronounced George - mum is Portuguese), he was an alumni of the school down the road from me here in Witney, and also a mate of my daughter's boyfriend, so we have kept half an eye on him this year. He is on his second loan spell from Notts Forest, not that big...

During Gordon Milne's time the advice was we needed 11,000 to break even.We struggled for that sometimes My first game - Peterborough in the third div in autumn '63 - 29,002 We have seen this year attendance follows success. Probably needs to be continued to build up a bigger base on which to...

You are just not used to competitive football this late in the football year

1-0 at home (or 2-1) thumped away

i can do 8 not Kirk and Mason Kearns is the surprise - in the modern era Grendel would have been on his case

Stick with form, the issue is not who but in what shape Burge Grimmer, Willis, Davies, Stokes, Bayliss, Kelly, Doyle Shipley, McNulty JCH - not sure on the best way to use Biamou - probably as sub, but don't feel strongly either way - key thing is that Bayliss is not left out on the right wing...

Mansfield will be the most motivated, Crawley along with Yeovil the least. City and Morecambe caught in between, fearing defeat rather than needing victory (the most dangerous place imho) Barring flukes City 2 - 2 Morecambe - too many cock ups all round by both sides Lincoln 3 - 1 Yeovil...

Biamou, Bayliss & Davies

If we had Jodi; and Kelly is now playing well; and Doyle is essential, and then there is Bayliss; and what about when Andreu comes back; and Shipley is left sided and playing ok. Who gets the chop? Doyle on age grounds, but in a 4 man midfield, what is the best combo? Might be best to get some...

A tough win, 2-1. We do seem to have got the scoring boots back on. Any idea on how good Lincoln's goalie is? We have benefited from some utterly crap goalkeeping lately - it is the most obvious area where League 2 is big gap from the division above, and a reason why Burge is actually quite...

"our"

this could come down to goal difference folks. On form every one of the sides in contention should win this weekend - we are trading at a small disadvantage in respect of pour goal difference compared with Lincoln and Mansfield. So I'd like a 3-0 or similar

MR stays loyal almost always. So same team, even if it means 2 holding midfielders and Haynes with no decent cover as McNulty has no notion how you do that if Crawley's goal on Saturday is typical. I think I would prefer Shipley to Kelly, but it is a marginal call. Slightly concerned that having...

I am suggesting 8 points - 2 wins 2 draws (inc Lincoln in the latter). So yes you are right 9 points will do it, as it will be > Mansfield and Lincoln, but that is not what I said

The last look I had at the respective fixture list, I thought we would get 8 more points and be in a 3 way tie with Mansfield and Lincoln. We have at the moment an inferior goal difference to both and Mansfield at least have a very easy run in. I fear the worst. As has been noted elsewhere a...

Preferred Bayliss at Crewe, but it's a subjective opinion

In terms of the inferior quality in League 2, goalkeepers is an area where it seems to show. You see an awful lot of goals that would not happen in League 1. Vincenti against Grimsby is a good example. Really obvious move, not that far from the goal. I haven't seen enough, but have a hunch that...

We thumped Millwall 4-0 away 2 seasons ago - a great day out. They are now on the edge of the Prem, and we are..... It is one bad result. Doyle possibly culpable in not getting their heads back in focus once they were 2 down

Around the time he was laying it on for Nouble to score against Gillingham there was fear on here - I kid you not - that Haynes would be poached by a Championship club. I know, I know.... Every time I have seen him you could draw a 10 yard radius circle around the attacking flanker at almost any...

Although I thought Newport was a good goal given the conditions, speed he was running and pressure he was under, had he missed it would probably have been described as a sitter for a pro footballer. Can something be a good goal and a sitter at the same time?
