Genuinely mate he was shit , not the worst but every 50/50 went against us, just one of those days though, we had more than enough chances & didn't take them, you did, end. The chesterfield ref was far far worse

I think the difference is that we're encountering a lot of game defining decisions against us. I can take the ref giving a few 50/50s against us, as he did against you in that game. But if you count that in your two worst refereeing performances of the season then you've had a very good season referees wise. It's week after week at the moment and is getting ridiculous.

Franchise , as expected were tidy resulting in one of our best performances, teams that open up & play are always welcome, why did notts get rid of Crowley, some player him, the result was about fair, MK good to watch but sooner they go bust the better.

I get the impression that you hate them more than we do. Good to see but why?

Mixed day for Crewe Alex up at Harrogate. Starting XI was baffling, the manager's insistence on cramming Zac Williams into the team every single week is costing them in terms of balance when he plays at LWB and they move Conway to RWB. Play ok first 30, Chris Long misses an easy 1-on-1, what else is new? Then concede a stupid goal from a corner and the fans start to turn, rightly or wrongly.

2nd half we looked a changed team, played with more tempo and energy and got the equaliser, good football, great cross from Holicek for his 5th assist of the season and a nice header from Long for the goal. We pushed for a winner and came close, Bogle missed a sitter and Lowery couldn't find a goal with another decent chance.

But then we ran out of legs, literally and metaphorically. Long pulls up with a worrying looking injury to the point where he could barely run, Tracey limped off and then Bogle clutches his hamstring. That on top of the long term injury to Lankester and Hemmings missing today after tweaking something on Tuesday and our fit and available attacking options could genuinely read: Adrien Thibaut. That's it.

The manager is now talking about potentially having to make a desperate late move in the window, but his options are limited, as he already has 5 loanees in the match day squad, so signing another would mean leaving one out and I don't see who that could be. Or somehow finding the money for a permanent, which given we're probably at our max budget, feels unlikely as well. Hard to say where our season goes from here.

Still a point though. Feels like this is your bad patch at the moment, not helped by injuries, but better to have it now than in March. I did anticipate you might run out of a bit of steam as it seems the first 11 is pretty strong but a bit weaker after that.

He wanted to go, was out of contract in the summer and wouldn't sign a new one so we took the money.
10 pts from 12 since he left and he didn't always play well.
He is eye catching but his career says he's a lower league journeyman who's best and only consistently good spell has been with us.

Accrington Stanley can fuck right off.
And so can that ref.
Both were as bad as Ive ever seen.
But , I really enjoyed it.
And my family is going through some shit at the minute and football is a great release.
Up the fucking football!

Shit refs everywhere , we've had two shockers at home this season Vs chesterfield (although the 2 sendings off were correct) & Port Vale



We absolutely hate having you.

Give me an example of a game changing decision v us. If you can show me 2 handballs and a ball a metre over the line, and a red card for your player getting a Vale players sock dirty, I'll agree with you.

These aren't just bad performances, they're huge "errors" that constantly go against us.

Vaguely remember the whole Wimbledon fc thing happening & thought it was wrong, been to the hockey stadium & the franchise bowl & every encounter I've had with their fanbase I've come away thinking they are massive bellends & I hate the fact they just popped up with a league place & a promise of a football frenzy that's never going to happen, the fact that this lot have a league place when the likes of Aldershot, York, Halifax, Hartlepool etc don't, winds the fuck out of me.
