    The answer is simple. Making it happen however...

    I’m afraid that the one way for our season to fall apart is for MR to allow/facilitate the players getting involved in the politics of our situation. Unlikely, but we still have the possibility of making the play offs, and MR needs to focus the players on performances alone.

    Stockdale/Burge

    Some posters on here seem to think it’s the easiest thing in the world for keepers to come out for corners to collect or punch. Neglecting the fact that teams load the six yard box with big lumps, which makes it difficult for a keeper to get near to the ball. So I don’t blame Burge for not...

    Luton had won the last 19 games where they had taken the lead. They are unbeaten in 22(?) games. They are 5 points clear at the top of the league. They are vastly experienced compared to our team (on Sky, the commentator noted that we were like an under 23 team). I’m not surprised that we were...

    Stockdale/Burge

    David Stockdale did well for us today, one good save and good command of the penalty box, catches and one strong punch. You could see his experience. However, he’s with us for a week- perhaps Walsall? And then Burge will be in goal for us for the rest of the season, so maybe rather than lusting...

    Match Thread Rochdale vs. Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 9th Feb

    I thought we played pretty well today, first half I thought they edged, without creating much. We grew into the game after an hour or so, and controlled the game after we scored. We should really have won by 2 or 3, with better finishing and a bit of luck. Robins picked a very attacking team...

    This post surprises me, because I know you are a massive supporter of the team. So why abuse someone who is merely asking people not to abuse our young players, but to get behind them, and give them the confidence to perform to their highest potential? And I agree with Rob, calling players...

    JCH

    Yeh, he did that gesture where you make out the other person has bad breath - wasn’t very edifying.

    Transfer rumours

    We do seem to be weak down the left hand side ( compared to Thomas and Sterling down the right), so some strengthening there would be reasonable.

    Transfer rumours

    Spot on! I don’t think we’ll be promoted or relegated this season, so let’s develop our our own players, and crucially, give them experience that will hopefully benefit us next season.

    Leon Clarke

    It’s probably not a runner, but I would have Clarke back, he’s proven at this level, would score goals and bring on players around him.

    George Thomas

    He played ok on Saturday, was busy, a handful, and worked hard to close down Sterling when we were pressing towards the end. I’m not saying he is better than Chaplin, we need to give him more time before judging. If Thomas was playing in our team, behind Clarke-Harris, I think he would do a...

    Transfer rumours

    Whatever we do in this window (and it’s bound to be limited), we are highly unlikely to get promotion, and as we won’t be relegated, I think that MR should focus on developing and improving the players he brought in. We then look again in the summer transfer window, with a view to bringing in...

    McNulty

    I thought Thomas looked quite good yesterday, very busy, a bit of a handful, and worked hard to close Sterling down when we were pressing at the end. Re-signing McNulty would smack of desperation, and I don’t think we are desparate. We will probably end up mid-table, which would be fine, as...

    Match Thread Scunthorpe United vs. Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 5th Jan

    Agree with this, I thought we were poor in the first half, they had most of the game, but we dug in and defended well. The second half we attacked from the start (not just when we went 2-0 down), the introduction of JCH at half time made a huge difference. They then scored a fortunate deflected...

    Ex Player Watch

    Well, I have good memories of Aaron Phillips from the game at Wolves 4/5? years ago. He scored a cracking equaliser and then a fantastic saving block tackle in the box in the dying moments. A good memory, and I hope he finds a decent club.
