It's been our downfall this season. Started in a similar vein to the football that's seen Challinor win two titles with us, on the front foot, high press, Addai in goal even got a couple of assists with his direct kicks (or third-to-last touches anyway). Then players return from injury, we now...

Couldn't they have done this last week ffs.

Yeah clearly, they were very good indeed. No idea about Birmingham comparisons because I haven't seen them much, but Wycombe did everything right (though a vaguely coherent opposition would have tested them much better). Their #3 stood out to me for some great marauding runs.

Wycombe very clinical if unspectacular. County look like absolute strangers. Nobody comes out of this with any credit

I'll swap you

Absolute holocaust here. That I am. Some lovely fireworks on view in the environs

Don't see anyone without an SK postcode being interested in our game v Brackley? There's a little history for us because we could never beat them at home during the NLN days, but that's not going to make TV audiences salivate Blackpool v Birmingham would be a better choice. Reckon Posh v Notts...

Off to Grimsby

Our second string struggled against a solid if unthreatening FGR side. Main highlight was a thundering volley from Fraser Horsfall, I know that "Van Basten-esque" gets overused but you'll know what I mean. Main lowlight was the piss-poor organisation by the club who didn't expect a crowd of that...

Was it a reward for crossing the picket lines

We've got FGR. No Colin Peake these days, though They're challenging for top of the VNL, seems that under Cotterill they're a long way from the Troy Deeney shitshow of last season. We're likely to rest a few since County have multiple Tuesday matches coming up, so it's not going to be easy

Point being, with all these comedians and comedy writers around, Mr Phonic shouldn't get so worked up on being called a 'circus' Maybe these new yank investors made their money through lion taming, you never know

I agree its a disappointing allocation, rules state 10% minimum but also that you have to give some under cover, 'cos of the configuration of Edgeley Park in its current state it's not easy to do both whilst also squeezing as many home fans in as possible (crowds are the highest in generations)...

Do you still have that ex-comedian as chief exec?

Football League clubs will take notice if they see it's hitting them in the pockets. That's literally all that matters.

I'll say it again, boycott the U21s but not the others. Disparity of crowds is what will make them take notice, otherwise you're just telling the authorities your only problem is with the competition's existence, not the B-team stalking horse.

The other result in our group means we qualify for the next round without even playing, incredible stuff. Makes me even more tempted to go to the dead rubber against Tranmere in two weeks.

Fishing net spend

Pretty clear trend towards sides near the top having more greens, and sides toward the bottom having more reds. Obviously a couple of outliers, Reading, Rotherham; feels harsh to say 'false positions' but you can see the point

The division's most consistently inconsistent side followed up Saturday's dreadful showing with perhaps our best performance of the season last night. Reading weren't bad first half, offered little up front however (scored with their only real chance), second half they simply didn't come out of...
