Away at Mansfield, in the fixture at home they outplayed us however the best player on the pitch that day is now a Gillingham player. Both sides have new players. Ours have had a good three weeks to bed into the squad so I’m hoping to see a much improved performance.
Not sure how we will lineup...
About time it was started, Wimbledon at home, both teams have had a big overhaul in players and management. We are still short but have a behind closed doors game against Watford tomorrow so hopefully we might have some new signings in time for Saturday. Wimbledon have lost both their 2...
The EFL have announced that Peter Ridsdale has been elected onto the board as he is seen by Rick Parry as “an advocate of spending limits & changing football’s financial distribution model.
:ffs:
It was only a matter of time given pre season started this week.
Out
John Taylor needs keyhole surgery on his ankle
Fejeri Okenhibirie apparently is flat footed which is causing him to miss training sessions
Please feel free to list yours
His assistant will be Noel Hunt, got a lot of work on his hands as we need to sign at least 12 players capable of keeping us in League 1 next season. The one thing Ritchie will get with us is time to build a team that plays the way he wants. He has stated that he wants to get us back playing the...
Away to Fleetwood, on paper an easier game than the last 2 but we’ve never beaten Fleetwood away. The best we have managed is two 0-0 score lines. The big questions for us are, will Richards be fit (early indications are that he will be), Has Bogle recovered from his bout of Covid sufficiently...
an unexpected win away brings us home against a relegation rival, we haven’t won two games on the trot this season and haven’t drawn on Boxing Day since 1992. Obviously a Cobblers win then
Old boy Harry Forrester will probably make his debut for Wimbledon tomorrow and according to sod's law will probably score. I hope our players let him know what a twat he was when with us.
Fergie will have a selection headache as Kongolo and May will be pressing for starts but Coppinger and...
I fully expect Blackpool to park the bus and hit us on the break. They usually beat us so it's about time we beat them. We now have players who are prepared to shoot from distance so hopefully we can continue our good start to the season.
The first of the battle of the Rovers ties, a little mini league between the 3 teams. From our part at Donny we will welcome back 5 of the players missing from midweek. Coppinger and Blair both rested, Wiiliams (hamstring) Mandeville (bruising) both recovered and Ben Khemis finally receiving...
Here it is then so have a great first day everyone, I'm presently stood in the check in queue at Ataturk airport hoping my flight back isn't delayed and I make the game (work not hols)
will we have a promotion hangover against a side still in with a playoff chance? Got to win if we want the title. I will be in transit between a hotel and boat so will have sod all idea what the result is.
Last season of us being sponsored by One Call so this is the last cup final. On a slightly less note we can be promoted with a win and Mansfield could put themselves in the playoffs with a win. More importantly is wether Steve Evans wins the pukka pie bingo, oh and the ghost of the miners strike...
The last time we played Cheltenham when going for promotion was the last game of the 2008 season, I remember being in the crowd expectant of the promotion party that would follow the game except we lost sending us to the play-offs. Rather than having an irrational dislike of Cheltenham for that...
I would be more worried if we weren't creating chances but a trend of not putting them away seems to have sent in, plus we have gone back to conceding far too easily. Hopefully Baudry will be back and give us some stability. I can see another draw tonight but it's starting to feel like we need...
I fear our unbeaten home record may be under threat given our recent lacklustre performances. I t was around this time last season where the team capitulated from being just outside the play-offs to relegation so the doom-mongers amongst us will be out in force if we lose this one. Luton are...
Given the form of both teams and especially ours at home this should be a nailed on home win but I can't get last seasons capitulation out of my head so taking nothing for granted. Mandeville is fit to return making the bench even stronger so no excuses if we don't get 3 points.
