Match Day 1st Feb Fixtures

[Colinmorriswalksonwater]

Didn't see a thread yet, so here we go.

Back at the Hall tonight for us. We are enjoying our best run of the season and the gate will be in excess of 6,000 all being well.

Murphy still out and Cardwell picked up a facial injury on Saturday, which is being assessed today. So Callum Powell could be in with a chance of his first start.

Other decision will be at RWB, with Demi or Leon up for that place.

Unless there are any other non-publicised injuries, then the rest looks as you were from Saturday.

Confidence is high and we will certainly be hoping for three points, which would see us up to 13th should we win.

Barnet have always been hard to beat, so should be a good fixture.

All time record, I believe is, from our perspective:

Won 6, Drawn 1, Lost 5

Big derby game tonight, a win against the seagull botherers would see us within realistic distance of the play offs with games in hand. We have players missing though, Knowles and Little suspended, Staunton and Hunt injured.

Crazy that there will be 6,000 plus. We're 17th ffs

Southend v Barnet
Yeovil v Weymouth

Surprised BT haven't got a goals show lined up for this one.

Wee comedy strongman Callum Powell to score the winner with a rabona

If he does that, his agent's video for him on YouTube will have him signing for some basket case League One club.

Was it Powell whose YouTube video showed him running the ball out of play on one of his clips? Remember when we signed him, Bakare and Nortey all in one window and each one looked diabolical in their highlights. I have no idea how we came about signing them, definitely something dodgy going on.

He had a great chance of opening his account on Saturday, when, if Dalby had squared the ball he'd have had a tap in. However, Dalby took the shot on, beat the keeper, but his effort got cleared of the line to safety. He looked more than useful though and has some of you have said, he could have come on a long way since his time with Wrexham.

To be fair to him he was only 20, had never played full time football before and was playing in the worst Wrexham squad in history. Add onto that stories of him basically being a disrespectful tit and that's the reason behind our poor opinions of him.

Most of that squad disappeared to never be heard of again (with the notable exceptions of John Rooney and Curtis Tilt) so he must have something about him to have made it back on merit.

Surely the big question mark is around Cardwell's facial injury. Did he cut himself shaving? Dry skin condition? Barbers were unexpectedly closed?

 

[Stocky]

The game stopped for 3 or 4 minutes whilst the referee went to speak to the benches. Nobody knew exactly what the game was stopped for but that was the most likely scenario in these instances. Johnson was in the corner at the time taking a throw in, thought it had most likely came from a fan but obviously not.

This fucking club. Another clear reason why we’re in the pits. How the fuck can you suspend a player for complaining about racism.

 

[Colinmorriswalksonwater]

Dennis 1-0 4 minutes gone!!!!

 

[John Still]

Barnet didn’t turn up then

 

[Colinmorriswalksonwater]

They're attacking now.....

Weymouth 1 up at Yeovil, another early goal.

Truly appalling response from the club and some embarrassing quotes from TK.

“I have not spoken with the team at all and am not aware of any direct “termination” threat to the players.

“However, it is worth noting that the players are contracted under the standard FA playing contracts to participate in football matches, so I would assume that any threats not to play would be a breach of their contracts and would carry heavy sanctions from the National League.”

Why bother with the latter part of the comment if you aren't aware of any threats?

Barnet players threatened with sack after racism row against staff member

Barnet, who play in the National League, went on strike after Saturday’s defeat to Stockport following an allegation of racist abuse by a member of the Bees' backroom staff

I would take that over our handling of the racism row

 

[MrGloverLover]

Own goal deflected off someone via Yussuf but who cares. 1-1.

That is very true.

Pleasure's all mine.
