    I know it’s last minute but would love a ticket if anybody knows of one going spare!

    Atmosphere again

    Regardless of atmosphere, I never understand leaving early, going down for HT after 30 mins, and then subsequently being late back to seats. Two blokes on the row in front of me do it every game. I personally enjoy the aftermath celebration. There will always be the occasional reason to leave...

    Fan zone

    Stayed for a few in the East Stand concourse post game. Atmosphere was really nice. And I purposely use the word nice. Wasn’t an especially typical football type atmosphere, but everyone in good spirits and singing along to stuff (not me as wasn’t with that sort of crowd!) and beers flowing...

    Stamenic looks very basic to me. Decent first half when they dominated and he has time. This half it’s over ambitious / impossible pass as ad nauseam.

    Can’t dispute Rudoni isn’t on it yet, but the best option is allow him to play himself back into form. He’ll come good. Don’t forget everyone doubted him last year too. Would like to see Brau, their RW doesn’t look great however he is rapid. Brau will add an urgency as he’s always keen to...

    I’d go Brau and Simms, but he won’t and I do sort of get it. Bidwell will limit us offensively but he’ll likely be asked to hold his shape and keep it tight defensively. Hoping we score 1 or 2, so he can give Brau a go with a bit less pressure. Simms was unlucky to be dropped and I’m not sure...

    As a general point, Premier League experience doesn’t automatically equate to a player being good. I think Woolf has not looked match sharp or comfortable when I’ve seen him so far. Not saying he’s a bad player, but he’s also coming in pretty cold and possibly under confident too.

    Lati hate is OTT. True; he’s had zero minutes and has zero acceleration. But he’s a decent enough CB at this level and he won’t lack commitment either. I am more worried about Woolf next to him. Rest of the team isn’t that weak other than missing a natural winger. Wonder if we’ll see Wright...

    Cov Night Out

    If you want a decent selection of beer I’d incorporate Hops D’Mor in there. Triumph is decent too, but doesn’t massively work with the rest of the pubs listed. I would can the Earl of Mercia, even for a Spoons it’s pretty crap. The Yard tends to have a few craft beers on too - perhaps replace...

    I know I’m in the minority but let’s give Simms 25 mins to make a difference.

    We’re our own worst enemy when we slow play down. On the front foot at pace we’re a different team.

    Domination at the minute. Their WB’s and back 3 look very awkward. Wrights bright start has dimmed, he could have a field day if he’s on iy

    Should amend the EMC song to include something about being offside. On a positive note looks like Wright is having an “on it’ game. Still hope Simms gets decent game time.

    Appreciate its tongue in cheek, but it’s part of the match day experience for a lot of people. Game days for a lot of people now aren’t just about the match. It’s the social side too, which for many includes food and drink. We hear all the time DK is a businessman, and I’m sure with that in...

    NYE plans have completely changed now, so I can make the game, but appreciate it’s sold out. So if anyone has, or knows of, a spare then I would appreciate it!

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    How the hell is stuff like this not causing uproar? Especially in the country it’s actually happening in. ICE agents running roughshod isn’t new, this isn’t an isolated incident as we all know. Madness. I’m sure Trump will tell us the woman arrested has Somalian and Mexican heritage so it’s...

    In the context of where we want to go, it could be argued this is “must win”. Both for the points tally, but also restoring the momentum. I am sure the players are still full of confidence, but a win removes any slight doubt or anxiousness amongst players and fans. If the worst happens we...
