We're a penniless old boys run club with an average team who play shit football and the only reason we're so high is because this league is shit and if we go up we will come straight back down.

Nicky Adams and Mike Jones are our only quality players as the rest are either crap or average and we've got a good manager who will probably leave us to go to a better club.

The end.

HG, Carver is going to kill you when he sees you've got hold of his account.

Whatever happened to daviejones? I haven't seen him since I came back from Durham.

He stopped posting?

On my way down for this.

I did question my sanity at half 7 this morning, particularly because I'm certain we'll bring back nil points.

You're going because you hope it will be the game where we put 10 points between ourselves and the play-off places and go top of the table outright, on points and with nobody beneath us having a game in hand.

Gilliead really played well when he came on in that game. He has had good games for us but dont think he has quite hit those heights for us, probably because we are playing him as a central midfield player and more or less refuse to budge from that shape!

His best games for us were always as a winger, particularly against Exeter; I think Jamie McAllister is still in Gilliead's back pocket from that day. I think we used him as one of a midfield three a couple of times, and a few times as a striker. He did also have days when he went missing, but I think that's to be expected given he's a young player and a creative player. There's not a lot he can contribute on the occasions the team have to pull their sleeves up and get stuck in.

Well looks like we have changed the diamond today perhaps! Not sure I can make out how we are shaping up today on the basis of the team sheet the club have tweeted, 3 at the back perhaps?

Bit of a gamble as we have no defenders on the bench.

So we've decided to take Lambe out of the team, the player with a bit of pace who can offer us width when needed.

It looks a slow, pedestrian looking lineup to me with the same leaky back 4.

Can only see this going one way sadly.

For the life of me I can't work out how Luton are lining up today. Appear to have 4 centre halves, 3 strikers and 1 midfielder who is more of a number 10. Even if we count Rea as a midfielder I still can't suss the lineup.

One of those team selections that can only be described as brave and that a manager really needs to work or he'll look like a right pillock

I think Jones has got one over on Curle here.

I think Curle has picked the team expecting Luton to lineup as a diamond, so has sacrificed our width. Jones has second guessed him and has switched to 3 at the back with a wide midfield and attack.

We do have Lambe and McQueen on the bench though

We're so easy to score against. Way too fucking easy.

We've got a top 3 midfield, a top 10 strike force, but a conference level back 4.

Needs sorted out in January or we're going to blow the league position we're in.

They may be biased but our commentators on BBCRC are spitting feathers and saying stuff that if Keith Curle were to say, he'd get a fine and lengthy ban for.

James Phillips is a great commentator at getting your hopes up by shouting "OH HE MUST SCORE" to "Aw no but he's missed from 1 yard out".

Radio commentary in general is torture to listen to, because half the time the commentators are getting excited, someone is attacking, but you don't know who. To be fair if someone misses from one yard out then it's not James Phillips' fault for getting your hopes up.

Given the circumstances I'll take 1-1 having had 10 men for 20 minutes away to one of the few really good teams in the division.

Brilliant result under the circumstances!

However we now have injuries and suspensions to deal with.

Fuck me, so nervy. Almost unbearable listening to us sometimes.

Great point once again, sounds like we had a golden chance at the end to win it. Sounded like a really good game, two attacking sides a bit dodgy at the back.

Onto Yeovil next week, albeit with a suspension and possibly a couple injuries to deal with.
