That’s just greedy and you’d have to if you were playing every day of the week

Anyone know why they’ve switched that flag to the North Stand now?

Is it the fire risk from the flame machines?

Probably, so the cameras from the TV gantry are going to see it easily.

I just want to see us win and with a clean sheet. I’m not looking for crazy goalscoring feats. Our two main challenges going forward will be:

1. Managing fans expectations.
2. Adapting to how teams set up against us. Because it will change and once a couple are successful, those tactics will be replicated by others.

it is still early days in relative terms. Just enjoy each game as it comes and don’t set yourselves up for dispointment by over predicting the success rate over the next 5 games. By all means let your head wander, but keep your heart and feet planted in reality.

Norwich and Hull showed how to do it properly. Not every team has the ability to do it though

I know result-wise you’re correct with Norwich, but any other day we’d have had 4 or 5. Teams won’t set up like that against us, I don’t think, as there was still so much pressure from us. Hull was different, but first game of the season I’ll let us off that one!
Oxford, 2nd half is where I’d look if I was opposition.

Are the club doing a ticket exchange now? Just logged into my account and it’s giving an option to sell my season ticket seat for the Blackburn game. Seen no mention of this anywhere though.

That’s been there for a while but only works if you’re in the family zone I think.

Did they? I thought we should have won both games. I don’t think they really nullified us.

Norwich? Did they fuck. They were incredibly lucky. It was a freak game which on another day we win 4/5-1.

Hull were good - Set their stall out and achieved their objective.
As clubs with aspirations we clearly have hugely different objectives/expectations but Hull were a tough nut.

We can’t get complacent about the next batch of 3 games .
Blackburn’s only real hope is to defend & hope to catch us on the break , but hopefully with Torp & Eccles back , we should have more than enough to win this one .
Pompey , the physical approach that got us turned over last season, will ultimately be used again , so a scrappy no nonsense display there , to win .
Watford …..we haven’t a clue , as they are a real Jeckle & Hyde team , but 3 points a must , to end another top week .

I'd like a 1-0 with the winner coming in the 97th minute. Preferably an own goal ricocheting in off the Blackburn goalies face Chris Brass stylee

Whilst that would be nice, personally I don't care if Haji has to score from a bicycle kick from midfield in the 95th minute, as long as we win.

With a low number of Blackburn expected, I wonder if they’ll look at shifting the segregation in block 9 over a bit? I think that fence can be moved

It's the concourse though underneath. We should give them the Mahou lounge and the few seats on the upper deck that are always empty and we have the whole end

Put them in the Mill , there’s a couple of TVs in there with ample room for their taxi to park outside the casino. Got to be the worst supported club home and away in this or any league !

To be fair it's only the size of Nuneaton and a lot of other teams in the surrounding area
