    Well, the honeymoon period is well and truly over

    Err ... did we not hit the bar then? :confused:

    For Preston read Yeovil?

    Not quite as bad as Preston, but lots of shirt pulling and niggling and chipping away at he backs of players' heels and loads of complaining to the officials over just about every single decision. They were rather nasty for sure. You may see it as competitive, I see it as cheating. All part...

    For Preston read Yeovil?

    We do, but that time that player of theirs went down in the 2nd half. It was right after incessant pressure and we were really on top and pressing. Suddenly, he goes down. Everything calms and Gary Johnson uses the 'opportunity' to brief all his players. Play resumes and we lose the impetus...

    For Preston read Yeovil?

    Anyone else sense the similarities. Nasty, bitty, time wasting, shirt pulling, fouling, clogging and a plan to keep lumping the long ball up to the strikers to try and feed off. Trouble is, yet again we had a ref who failed to penalise the opposition for the constant time wasting and delaying...

    Burger Stand in block 15/16

    A bloke did eat a horse burger at the ground. He was rushed to hospital but is a in a stable condition.

    Well, the honeymoon period is well and truly over

    Yes, true. Just saying we didn't play poorly these last two games and the whisker of a post or bar could have made all the difference. Against Preston Clarke scored but was offside and it wasn't given. Today we scored, but offside was given. Such tiny margins. I know goals win games, but if...

    Well, the honeymoon period is well and truly over

    It's such fine margins though isn't it. Disallowed goal today, the hitting of the bar. Baker hitting the post on Tuesday. We could have quite easily won both games. Had we put in two inept performances I may have been agreeing with you and be thinking maybe the bubble has burst, but truth is...

    New Striker

    Don't quite get this 'we need a new striker' call. If anything the last few games has taught us, we desperately need at least one new centre back. I know our attack has misfired the last two games butt he defence has looked very, very shaky for quite some time and it is them that are letting...

    Carl Baker

    Just wondering if their goal today was partly down to him or to Cyrus Christie? Christie's throw, but there seemed to be a bit of an argument between them after as to whose fault it was in giving the ball away.

    Goals under robins

    DMC's off the ball movement created space for others. I do remember saying this sometime back and getting shot down in flames upon the mentioning of the fact that goals were coming from elsewhere in many ways because of DMC, his movement and that opposition teams were focused upon stopping...

    Well, the honeymoon period is well and truly over

    Not a big fan of Stuart Linnell at all usually it has to be said, but he quite rightly pointed out that just one week ago all was rosy in the garden and we were saying how brilliantly we were doing after beating Sheff Utd. 2-1 away. Two games later and the honeymoon period is over? Doesn't...

    New Striker

    You're right. He only has 16 goals this season. He'll only probably get 20 goals in total and that of course is simply not acceptable.

    Season Over?

    You want to write the season off with 14 games still to play? Okay........ :facepalm:

    Set pieces

    15 corners against Crewe, 9 corners today. That is 24 corners and we have hardly looked like scoring directly from any of them. Today we needed to avoid going the aerial route. Their two centre backs were huge and won everything. We needed the ball to feet and put across the box on the ground...

    Excellent. His wages will probably pay half the rent. Sent from my KIS using Tapatalk 2

    It is the Ricoh that is proving our downfall. Sent from my KIS using Tapatalk 2

    I may be wrong, but I do believe we are playing Crewe away and not at the Ricoh. Sent from my KIS using Tapatalk 2

    Going nowhere

    Two things that are really hurting us at the moment are that teams setting out to nullify us and frustrate us, close.down and deny us space. Another thing is that pitch. It is sticky and boggy and it is slowing us down in our build up play. Sent from my KIS using Tapatalk 2
