Research out this week said that scoring just before half time was not the good thing it is sagely pronounced to be by most ex-footballer pundits. Statistically the side conceding the goal does better. I assume because the goal scoring side relaxes and the side conceding does something about...

good thought, whether it happens or not

I was there in 64 and 67. Still regard the Wolves game in 67 as THE game, not Spurs in '87. 51,455 (or was it 51,445?) Anyway there were shitloads of us. The only upside I can see from this season in the 4th tier is at least we win or draw most times. All those seasons on the edge of relegation...

...but that is exactly what happened.

Baker is just the "grass is always greener" see DKE x 2, Ponticelli before they were actually on the pitch for a few games. 1-1 for me. McNumpty Peanut or whatever his name is these days

On the mark. All we know about Robbins tells that he in a vital game he will not play anything other than Doyle / Kelly, not least because Luton are such free scorers. Bayliss in the centre too risky. For the same reason I would go with Stokes / Reid on left rather than Haynes / Reid favoured...

That was my feeling. Too many teams have to have their form implode for such a relatively modest team as we have to be able to get to the auto spots.

ricocheted free kick tho

didn't Dean do the Stoke game?

How old are you? There never has been.....except amongst fans

autos requires too many teams who have otherwise played well this season to now suddenly play badly. It could happen, but unlikely. Nor is our team good enough man for man to win a high enough % of games (and Robbins is too defensively minded)

hmmm another time that would have been an easy save

This is the most optimistic spin you can put on it. You could just as easily argue the opposite for each - Wycombe and Notts C bound to recover after a wobble etc etc As there are 6 teams chasing 4 places the odds are at least 3 of the five other than ourselves will maintain some kind of form...

No the other fixtures matter a lot unless you are run away leaders. We are in a highly competitive situation with 6 chasing 4 places. We are still not playing very well, - check the mismatch between what is being said during games on here, and the player ratings should we win.We are more than 3...

"no easy fixtures" = cliche, you can do better than that. if you were an exeter fan you would expect to beat Chesterfield, even though they are showing signs of resistance. Merely if you go thro the games and apply a reasonable logic knowing that correct / incorrect are likely to balance out...

If you look at all March's fixtures it could be well toward the end of the month before we are safely in the play-offs. Exeter have Chesterfield at home above, and in March our rivals have a good number of similarly quite easy games. Exeter have a generally easy run. The one to watch, coming the...

How do you factor in that with so many clubs in the running - 9 excluding Luton - for 2 places the points requirement may fall? More teams will drop points to fellow contenders. Playing the club that are 10th would usually be seen as a certain win, not this year, it could be Accrington Stanley.

Go to Wasps as there is a great atmosphere and as I have no affection for the Ricoh per se, It will never be Highfield Road., I think the MK solution to Wimbledon's was the right one - I can't work out why people get so lathered about it. I regard MK as my "second team". Wolves are the real...

Well I will make the trip. But then I don't care that much about franchises - football or rugby - they are the way of the world. We are customers of a business - every football fan is. Always thought the MK move made complete sense and I really enjoyed the one day out I have had at Wasps ( it...
