Saturday 23rd November fixtures

[EnglishRed]

Yep, we are toothless. Surprised we conceded three from headers though, we've been quite good up to now.
Think we missed Woods today but no excuse and we'll beaten. For once I'm glad I couldn't get a ticket, some of the lads who went on the train got there late as they had to get a replacement from Gobowen and I've also heard the train back was cancelled..

That's a nightmare with a long journey ahead. Hope they all manage to get back safely.

Crawley v Rotherham. Whisper it. The best team won today!

They have some decent players (I'd love to have their corner taker) but as a team they were second best. Give us some credit. We are down to bare bones. We had two keepers on the bench, only one of the defenders would start in our best 11 add illness and knocks all over the place but they stuck at it, and truthfully were the better team and coulda/shoulda won by more.

Charlie Barker was my man of the match. On the left of a back 3 is not a natural position for a right footer but he was great all game. Not bad for someone who was a semi pro in the summer.

Rotherham are not a usual Steve Evans side and he is probably on borrowed time now.

Out of the bottom 4. It's the hope that gets you.

A dreadful game that should’ve finished 0-0 was won by an actual piece of quality. Whereas saying the best team lost would be a stretch it would equally be a stretch to say BR deserved to win which they didn’t.

One of those, we’ve won games (and will do again) when we’re the 2nd best team and today it just didn’t sit and wouldn’t fall.

We’d still be playing now and not score with that finishing.

A positive result in the back of some dodgy results for BR which will be a shot in the arm for sure:

Callum Burton being a bit of a d*ck on twitter. I'm sure the Big Bank will remind him in the return fixture

If they didn't want his development to go how it is, they'd never have loaned him to you again but sent him to the Championship. You've got him until summer, enjoy it!

As for us, probably could have got three points but there's only so excited you can get about being the bald amongst baldies who has the comb!

Shayne Lavery looks like an Irish Shaquiri and I can't unsee it.

A Championship club wouldn’t have offered him regular starts in the summer - they will now.

Good chance Villa will recall him and see him to the Championship.

 

[Who Needs Mourinho]

Rotherham though - wtf? Evans can't hold on much longer if they keep that up, especially if a new manager could get the January window to bring in reinforcements.

I read some quotes the other day and he’s ready to but his way out of trouble in January .

Yeah I saw that, bit odd, is that a Plymouth thing?

Still don't see it, think he'll be with you until summer. Much easier position from the outside though!

Yep, thick Janner. I suspect your main chap will be back for return though?

Hopefully. They said six weeks as a minimum so should be back in the new year, but definitely back in net by March.

I doubt he'd be playing, as Okonkwo is our number 1.

Yeah. I usually drop my wife off near the ground, rang me father who was due in Wrexham for 2pm but told me he got stuck in Gobowen due to flooding on the line. They did say it was quite deep round the station so fairs fair. Can't blame a rail company if flooded. I did hear there was bus replacements for the way back to Shrewsbury, and a couple of ECFC were on it too.

 

[AdamStag]

I’m excited at the idea of the midtable cup….

Having either been involved in dodgy relegation or going form promotion from league 2 for as long as i can remember it would be a rather wonderful achievement to win.

 

[Throbber_for_Dunk]

I'd settle for in the conversation
