Saturday 16th January

Tuesday should be fun then.

Don't worry, you'll brush us aside.

 

[David Brent]

I do, you've won one game in the past two months and it was obviously against us. You were terrible that day but it was okay because we were even worse. You'll obviously beat us next weekend and get Hurst's first win back and we'll struggle to win another one this season

How did Taft get on today?...if it’s not too traumatic for you to go back over the game

 

[Bottega Don]

He's looked solid in both of our games he's played really, wasn't at fault for either goal we've conceded.

Os win 2 0 at home to Morecambe with 2 late goals.
I think we probably edged it over the 90, but Morecambe had their chances.
Feels particularly good as Morecambe clearly came here for a point and were time wasting and slowing the tempo from the first second, they're efficient, but fuck me they make teams managed by Sam Allardyce look like Barcelona.
Huge win for us that drags us into the playoffs, Morecambe, however, are by far the most boring, anti football team I've seen in years, but then that's Derek Adams for you.
You Os.

I thought we were extremely lucky to win. Had all the ball and did nothing with it, whereas Morecambe created presentable chances pretty much every single time they ventured forwards. Kept us at arms length with ease and only got undone by a fluke own goal. Might have been generally shite to watch, but Adams is getting far more out of them than the sum of that team’s parts.

Thought a point was a fair result vs Colchester. Could very easily have gone either way and while I feel Colchester probably have more of the overall play in the second half we were the only ones to carve out a real chance and we are gutted Mullin didn’t net it. Onto Southend, automatic promotion still the aim

 

[Shrimpurh]

We are dog shit, but at least we don't crowd around the ref every time one of our players slips during a tackle. The pitch is as bad as our team, but we get on with it; Southend played the ref when ever they could. Hope my team never stoops to that level.

Quite an exaggeration. It only happened in the second half when the players were asking how many fouls it take before people get booked 23 fouls 2 bookings

I think you'll find the ref got so fed up with your lot telling what to do, he booked two of your players for just that!

 

[Chris FGR]

Our game today was so bad that with 5 minutes to go some of the cardboard cut-outs got up and left.

Bunch of lightweights.

What EFL clubs need is some Wacky Waving Arm Flailing Inflatable Tube Men. Would add some proper atmosphere to grounds.

 

[Railway Blue]

Confirmed this morning.....proberbly looking at him with a view of signing him
Is he contracted beyond June ?

Love the way you've spelt probably.

 

[masi51]

I think until summer 2022, I don't think we're currently looking to shift him.

strange signing more so if we are not looking to sign him him for next season..........straight in the team today ok nothing special but never hid.
The other signing 19 year old parkinson was a revelation

Love the way you've spelt probably.

i can spell FUCK OFF Correctly

 

[Casey]

Just to point out there are "no" correct spellings in the English language.

The Oxford English Dictionary in it's preface states it is descriptive (not prescriptive) which means it has no claim that the spelling used within it's pages are correct just the most common.

The same can be said about grammar too.

I’ve not seen a side get 2 yellow cards for moaning at the ref in a long time, both went to your players, make of that what you will.

He is quite right in what he says. The most commonly used phrase now in London for the under 30s is now innit bro

Innit bro? That's like twenty years old that phrase.

 

[Si Robin]

Innit bro

 

[Conker]

People do still say old phrases tho shoddy, innit!?

 

[Vanni]

Yep. Like 'Year of the Stag'

 

[LS Bantam]

Whaaaaaaaasupppp, the postponement of our game proved premature as the roads around the stadium, the reason it was off, seemed fine come Saturday afternoon (although a decision had to be made by 4:00 Friday). That’s three in a row called off and we’re yet to play a game in 2021.

It’s ok just get that CEO of yours to cry like a baby again until the FA agree to award you the 3 points for all of the postponed matches.

 

[Gladders]

How bad were the games this weekend?

We have three players in the league 2 team of the week! Including our keeper who only had one save to make all game in the last minute.

Very, our goalscorer Josh Kay is in the Non-League Paper's TOTW.

What?! Who else is in it?

Waterfall and Wright

 

[Luke Imp]

It's Fenty, to save money, why else?

Tbh, looking at the state of some of the pitches across the EFL on Quest, a decent chunk furloughed ground staff.

Danny Pugh has now tested positive for Covid, on top of Montano who missed FGR which means of course we had a covid case at FGR on Saturday.

This is the issue with playing as we are during this situation whilst it is as bad as it is.

Not good, all the best to the bloke always a worry to catch this. Would think you'll need to isolate quite a few given they travelled on the coach, all been in the dressing room/team talk etc.

Given it takes 5 days for symptoms to show, you have to hope the lateral flow tests on our players/staff are accurate enough, Cooper has expressed his doubts on the accuracy of these anyway, otherwise we could be bringing it to Tranmere tomorrow.

They don’t have great accuracy as far as I’ve read.

Montano missed the game but was asymptomatic and had played at Sunderland so issue is with no symptoms this could have passed to Danny, he’s been in the dressing room and training with the lads and his staff so could see more this week.

We’ve had one player isolating since mid December pretty much, Conlon for 2 weeks then Crookes and then Monty now Pugh.

May be wise to pause it in my view and the situation with Cotterill may finally see sense prevail. Is it worth it?
