Conlon was a bit unfortunate with us. Signed under Westley as a youngster, played a few times and looked to have something about him but wasn't physically ready according to GW. He broke into the side more regularly the following season and was developing well, unfortunately at the start of his...

What a rollercoaster of emotions that was. Today was a massive game for both sides, a proper relegation six pointer, can't believe the ending, huge win for us. I thought we started the game well, seemed to have control over the game without creating anything to test McKeown. Grimsby grew into...

Not a particularly good game today, low on quality, neither side could really argue they deserved the win so a draw was a fair result. We looked pretty well organised today, Lines had another good game, thought TVC was decent at centre back again. Bit surprised we didn't start Aitchison, Pett or...

Sampson had a brief spell as our caretaker manager last season assisted by Alex Revell - between the Maamria and Westley appointments (was a good couple of months). Revell is now manager and Sampson is on his coaching staff. The whole situation with the FA and Sampson was pretty bizarre. The...

We lost 2-0 yesterday. Thought our performance was quite good, it always felt like we were in the game but at the same time Swansea didn't really have to break sweat, I sense they could have shifted up a gear if we'd ever managed to get back into the game. First look at Norris and Lines -...

Massive result for us, 3-1 win. Wasn't a great spectacle, fell behind after 5 minutes, poor defending from our point of view but the response to the goal was good. Carter struck twice in 10 minutes, first a free header into the far corner after some decent build up play down out left side, the...

Great result for us that, performance wasn't too bad either. Thought we played quite well, looked more threatening than usual, Cambridge had chances but I thought we just about deserved the win. We were fortunate with the goal, didn't look like it'd fall for us but when it did, it was taken well...

Happy with the point all things considered but still nothing about the performance gives me hope that we'll stay up. Even with the point we're in a worse position than we were at the start of the day. Cheltenham weren't great but they were unlucky today, a better positioned assistant or goal...

Financially we wouldn't have but I do agree we've wasted the reprieve. We were lucky to stay up. Change is needed and has been for a while. We are the worst side in the league in my view. Our attack is powderpuff. Having no shots on target isn't a new thing for us unfortunately. We didn't...

Same shit as usual.

0-0 with Southend, poor game but Southend the better side. As you'd expect a game low on quality. Not sure if we were tired having played 120 minutes vs Hull the previous Sunday and then Walsall on the Wednesday but we just didn't turn up. Disappointing to only get 2 points from Walsall and...

Drew 1-1 with Walsall, disappointed to concede late on but Walsall were value for a result tonight so shouldn't complain. First half was one way traffic, all Walsall, they got into a lot of promising positions but lacked a cutting edge in and around the 18 yard box. Second half we won a...

Delighted with that. Drew 1-1 with Hull and then won the shootout 6-5. Hull made a number of changes, so we definitely weren't facing the players who'd put Hull top of League One but we competed well and deserved something from the game. First half I thought we played very well and whilst both...

What a relief that it is. I know Vale were poor and missing players but we deserved the win tonight, we were the better side for 80 minutes before a tense final 10 minutes or so. We had a helping hand with the first, the Vale defender gifting us a throw and then his eagerness to make amends...

Bolton deserved that win. First half we were outplayed, we were 2-0 down having offered very little. Football was poor, looked to be heading to another lackluster defeat without scoring but Oteh made something out of nothing just before the break, laid the ball back to Pett who made it 2-1...

Drew 0-0 with Northampton in the EFL Trophy, lost 4-2 on penalties. 8 changes from the weekend draw with Morecambe, we equipped ourselves well vs a strong (on paper) Northampton team. Wasn't the best game but for a 0-0 wasn't too bad I suppose. Northampton worked Cumming on a couple of occasions...

Bit late to the party, we drew 1-1 with Morecambe last weekend. For the first hour I felt we did ok, limited Morecambe in open play (they went close a couple of times from set pieces), didn't offer that much going forward, once we had the lead we looked to play on the counter and despite getting...

We made it through but Concord gave us a run for our money and will rightly feel disappointed that they're not in the draw for the next round. They were organised, came to make our lives difficult and whilst we shaded the game in terms of chances and possession, it was difficult to tell there...

Lets start on a positive note, we scored! We tried our best not to but we finally scored! All for nothing though as Colchester played us off the park and thoroughly deserved their 3-1 win. From the word go Colchester were in control, targeted our right hand side, doubled up on Luther and he...

Yeah, happy to welcome him back into the fold, one of our biggest issues has been creativity and quality in midfield so a much needed signing too. I see Salford have signed George Boyd, was secretly hoping he might make a return to Boro but was always unlikely.
