559 Orient at Blackpool.

The drainage was sorted in the summer, but apparently the re-seeding then hadn't properly set in time this season, so the top layer has been cutting up since August. Hopefully with the drainage work from last summer and then new seeding this summer it will be fine next season. It does also look...

After a decent opening ten minutes or so from us, I thought Fleetwood went on to have the better of the chances in the first half. At least three or four very decent opportunities and on another day that goes the other way. The second half was a different story, but I think that we scored the...

For what it's worth, we have a makeshift midfield at the moment and having to play a left back in central midfield. That will still be the case next weekend with McDonnell on international duty. Would snap your hand off for a point next weekend. We have some really tough games coming up so...

106 Fleetwood in a crowd of 5,636 at Colchester.

We released ours on Monday, which is incredibly early for us as I don't remember it ever coming out before the season had finished. Existing ST holders can renew at last season's early bird price, which ranges from £340-465 for adults. Early prices for new sign-ups are from £355-£488 and then...

That's been coming, we've looked so shaky defensively all night.

It's been a poor, scrappy game. The pitch doesn't help. Feels like we're struggling in the middle with a makeshift midfield and without McDonnell screening I feel we look much more suspect/vulnerable at the back. Will be pleasantly surprised if we keep a clean sheet here.

No idea what to make of our team tonight - presumably we're playing either of the full backs (Iandolo or Hunt) in central midfield which isn't ideal. Iandolo has been one of our best performers this season at left back and Hunt has been out injured since the end of October I think. Don't fancy...

We're missing Jamie McDonnell for the next three games now due to suspension and an international call up, which is such a massive blow. It's no coincidence that our form since November started when he made it into the side, he is unbelievable and I'm sure he'll be in Forest's first team within...

Yeah, 19 years for us. Two relegations since, usually finishing lower year on year. No finals or Wembley visit since 1998 and the only time we made the play-offs nobody was allowed to go because of covid.

266 Chesterfield at Colchester.

This game has got 1-1 all over it to me. Thought we edged the first half, but the second half has been really poor and the goal totally against the run of play. Can't keep any possession.

1,330 Colchester at MK.

Better off parking in the Hollywood Bowl car park (£3), Park and Ride over the road (£3) or on a nearby estate with a ten minute walk. I'm always back home on the other side of Colchester by about 5:20ish.
