I don’t know, we managed pretty much exactly that last season…

Anyone else finding Swindon 0 Aldershot 7 (SEVEN) deeply amusing...?

1,470 Pompey (the full allocation) at the Abbey

One sloppy goal given away early, and a random ricochet from a clearance at a corner for the second. That said, Barnsley are very dominant of possession and look pretty slick, so even more annoying that we gave them a goal start. We’ve had two very good chances but haven’t put them away - hard...

1,115 Cambridge at Derby apparently

Point at Derby, we didn’t really look like scoring but restricted County to a couple of good headed chances, both of which they missed. Really solid backs to the wall defending…

Re ‘B’ teams, I see that the lates proposal is official ‘B’ teams from all Euro participant clubs (so top seven) in the League Cup. What does that do to the TV value of League Cup rights when it is officially Liverpool/Man City/Arsenal ‘B’ v Cambridge? Not to mention what crowd will turn up at...

I’m quite happy Cambridge have no players in that list - we have no stand-out performers but few, if any, weak links and strong teamwork. That way one injury doesn’t disable the season…

Three of the four home areas sold out at the Abbey - five hundred terrace tickets left in the final area. Will be close to a sell-out again! No idea how this one goes - both teams improved significantly on last season, both still capable of having a poor game; could be any result! I’ll be...

Didn’t we all get Morecambe so very wrong that season?! I think I had them down in the bottom four too…

I can't even get the total attendances for these three!

I'm missing three attendances for yesterday - Wigan, Reading and Barnsley; does anyone have these three?

Pleased with that - fairly even game but on balance I felt we were the better side. Up to sixth…

The bottom five according to the prediction competition are (starting from the bottom and working up): - Cheltenham - Carlisle - Cambridge - Northampton - Stevenage Neither Exeter or Port Vale were heavily tipped for the drop, although both were picked to go down by a few (including me!)

We have been utterly dreadful - no idea how this performance has appeared given how the first four games went… Orient good value for the three points.

I'm glad it's worked out with you for El Mizouni - he seemed like a good honest guy when he was with us on loan. Idris is bound to have a worldy on Saturday since he's playing against us!

Sure, don't panic yet - you need those injured players back. It's very early days yet. Last season Burton were way behind well into the winter but finished very comfortably.

The Abbey is a pretty standard pitch - it feels small because the stands are quite tight to the playing surface. Decades ago the Aston Villa manager had a massive whinge about our 'small pitch' - it was politely pointed out that it was exactly the same size as the pitch at Villa Park! Van Gaal...

And so, so funny…

Stevenage are a horrible team but very, very effective indeed - they work unbelievably hard, there's always someone right on top of whoever from the oppo has the ball. We gifted them the first goal with a defensive mix-up, worked our balls off to level it up and promptly switched off from the...
