Frank Lampard's side are scoring at an exceptional rate. Should they continue on current averages, they'll break the record for most goals scored in a Football League season (they're on course for 138 - Peterborough of 1960/61 hold the record with 134).

So you then have to scroll and remember what page 3pm starts?

Reddit uses pre, match and post which is alor easier to use and read


By all means keep it the way it is, im just putting ny 2 cents in to make the site easier to read as I do prefer the content here but reddit is alot more user friendly

Well no because 99% don't read every post in a match thread, they'll jump in, make a post and/or read the few most recent things and jump back out to focus on the game again.

If you want to jump to the 'first post-match post' just go by the time the first post on each page was made.

No. No relation.
Family is from Rugby though - knew he was training with the first team this week. And I was told he was in the squad this morning.

Hopefully he can get a McSheffrey-esque cameo at the end with the game won.

Might not be doom and gloom. Might just be that he’s been picked out as a high potential prospect and they want to get him used to being in and around the first team environment.

When it's bare bones don't they often just pick a fairly random youngster to fill out the bench for the experience?

Yeah all valid points and wasn't trying to doom and gloom per se. More maybe point to the fact Andrews and Shepherd might be our midfield subs today if Eccles and Torp are still not fit.

Ah I missed this! So probably looking at Grimes, Torp, BTA in the 10?

Allen and maybe Eccles on the bench?

Rushworth
MVE - Thomas - Kitch - Dasilva
Grimes - Torp
BTA
Tatsu - Simms - EMC

...would be my guess, although a) depends on whether Wright deemed ready, and b) I'm fully expecting Woolfie to be given a start soon.

If Wright isn’t fit, I’m hoping Simms get the nod.

We know he’s a confidence player, so that’ll boost an already increasing confidence after scoring twice recently.

Also had the Simms song in my head the last few days, perhaps is a sign!

Use Tapatalk or similar and page numbers become irrelevant. Just scroll through the whole thread quickly without worrying about pages.

Feels quite risky to go that attacking when we’re playing a team not called Sheffield Wednesday. Even against Sheffield Wednesday we didn’t have much control in midfield.

Way it's displayed on teamsheet suggests EMC in the 10. Can see him rotating with BTA like they did before (cannee remember which game it was mind you...)

Ridiculously attacking team. It's either gonna end about 8-0 or 0-1

The players on the bench that don't get on, do they reuse the kit or just bin it? Players now make holes in their socks and give away shirts after games, does anything get washed and reused anymore? Just had the thought as I was doing my weekly wash.
