Plymouth tomorrow, bringing roughly 2.5k is absolutely exceptional. I remember the FA Cup game where I spent 12 hours on a bus in a single day and said that I would never do that again. They do it every week. Unbelievable support.

I hope we only beat them by the one goal now.

They had 1600 up at ours midweek in 03 when they taught us a lesson under Sturrock, ridiculous numbers.

 

[Arbury]

Expecting a tough one v Lincoln, they’ve picked up some decent results on the road and we’ve been decent at home. Pleased scully has gone but expecting the ft result to be 1-1 but hoping we can nick it in the last 10 with the bench looking stronger this year.

KTF

 

[Sydney Posse]

Massively looking forward to our game. Hope it’s not an anticlimax, a real feel good factor circulating

 

[Chris FGR]

Looking at the table, although it is still early days I feel like we could really do with getting something today. We need to stay in touch with the pack, lose and we’d already be in a position where even a win in our game in hand wouldn’t get us out of the bottom 4. From experience once you get stuck in and around the bottom of the league it’s hard to pull away from it.

 

[valefan16]

Starting two strikers!!!! And have two on the bench.

Assume Politic isn’t back from Italy yet but huge huge boost to see James Wilson on the bench.

 

[masi51]

Back Evatt but he is not doing himself any favours starting that 11....No Dapo, Dempsey, Morley
First start of the season for Thomason and Bakayoko keeps his place despite him not being able to hit a barn door currently

 

[kieran_vale]

Don’t think Dennis was ever going to make the matchday squad today even if he had made it from Italy. Must be giving Conlon a rest but nice to see Wilson back in the squad.

I agree. I’m a bit worried seeing that now. Dapo defo seems off it atm. He was incredible on the left but has never quite hit the same heights through the middle when we changed our shape. Wish bodvarsson was fit. Can’t believe Morley isn’t playing.

 

[stevowanderer]

Another defensive howler. This time from Johnston. We are our own worst enemy at the start of this season. So many mistakes at the back.

 

[Chris FGR]

1-0 down already, far too easy for Shrewsbury to get through us. Physically they look bigger then us, so we need to try and out football them.

 

[GeneralLee]

Boy oh boy, do Burton have a chance this afternoon.

Mousinho starts. I love Mous, but he just can't play regular League One football and neither should he. Any time he plays 60 minutes he's basically incapable of playing for day/weeks after. He played 90 minutes on Tuesday night...

Our left sided centre half is playing wing back in Ciaron Brown, James Henry (an offensive midfielder) is playing right wing back and we have 17 year old Gaitlin O'Donker who has largely played the occasional tinpot trophy fixture starting up top.

Our bench isn't looking much better either. That's a sign of our ineptitude in the transfer window.

 

[Dan Phillips]

Unbelievable.

Dominated the entire game and they score out of nowhere with their first chance.

 

[Chris FGR]

Marques is already the 20th different player we’ve used in the league this season in 5 and a bit games apparently. Shows the difference 5 subs makes.

 

[kieran_vale]

Mipo great header to level it. The kid is raw but you can see with experience he will be a handful in the future.

 

[CTFCfan99]

We're shit and we're going down

 

[stevowanderer]

After a shocking defensive mistake again we’ve been well on top. It seemed to wake us up this time whereas against Wednesday it killed us. Charlton have had a couple of breakaways but we could have had 3/4. Really happy with that half

 

[Bobbin']

We pretty much forfeited our season when we failed to get a striker and centre back before the deadline, lo and behold we’ve created fuck all again and all over the place at the back.

Hate this club so much.

 

[kieran_vale]

After levelling we improved. Was very sloppy by us prior to that especially in possession. Criminal to give the ball away on their goal, we did exactly the same which led to Portsmouths goal the week before and yet some of our fans groaned when Hussey maintained possession by passing backwards. That is why!!

I think I'd be going Charlsey for Garrity before too long as well, he doesn't seem at it on the whole this season.

 

[denzel ecfc]

Pretty level first half. Good saves from both keepers. Two good footballing sides without the killer finish, though Grigg hasn't had a lot to work with.
I suspect we will be making changes after 60 minutes if its still 0-0. Tis written.

 

[valefan16]

Carbon copy of Portsmouth until we equalised even their goal! We’ve had ten good minutes when we could of scored 4 but before that was absolutely dross.

 

[Essex2Wessex]

Think we can come back from this, Shrews don't look markedly more skilful than us (Bowman has obviously always been a menace), other than in some of the more questionable arts

 

[thewwfc]

We are doing incredibly well to be 1-0 up away to Fleetwood, Garath McCleary having stupidly got himself sent off with a straight red on 9 mins for an off-the-ball incident (an elbow apparently) - inexcusable indiscipline from a senior player.

Yet another class goal from Anis Mehmeti, he won't be our player much longer at this rate, but I guess we can enjoy him till Jan at least.

2 FTFC players subbed before half-time! Fleetwood haven't been bad by any means, but have had zero shots on target - maybe Scott Brown just feels they haven't stretched us enough?

Our backline have thankfully been very solid - and they'll need to keep that up, hopefully tired legs don't get the better of us second half.

 

[Chris FGR]

We're shit and we're going down

Should call it El Shitico this season.

 

[BRFC_Gas]

Hate this club so much.

Pretty much how we were under Garner

 

[Bobbin']

Pretty much how we were under Garner

Not his fault entirely, our football has improved he’s just not been given all the tools he needs.

 

[Craig]

Welp

Owlstalk all the entertainment I’ll need tonight

 

[denzel ecfc]

Excellent from us second half. Can't believe MK's tactics, looked like they settled for a point when they took Grigg and Burns.
Well deserved and shows we can compete with anyone in this league

 

[valefan16]

Two points completely thrown away against probably the poorest side we will face this season. They didn’t lay a glove until the equaliser. Real kick in the teeth that and I fear for us now.

 

[stevowanderer]

Not his fault entirely, our football has improved he’s just not been given all the tools he needs.

We were much the better side for large periods today but that Rak-Sakyi looks one hell of a player. He singled handedly caused more problems for us than the other 10 you had on the pitch combined.
