Re: Farewells

I think the answer to your 'farewell' question is -NOBODY

Or perhaps - just the same people who always leave at the end of the season.

Shame you couldn't stoke up some nonsense,

No. That's part of the establishment trying to get you to cause a jinx.

Last day nerves - rules of engagement

I thought it worth pointing out the obvious rules of engagement for all on the nest tomorrow: 1) Under no circumstances WHATSOEVER can anyone jinx the day. If we're 4-0 up at half time and burton 5-0 down? Nobody say 'This looks good' 2) Reverse mockers are fine, and to be encouraged. 'Nutall couldn...

Re: Destiny is in our hands

Not exactly in our hands, but going into the last game of the season with a hope is completely bloody ridiculous. Cambridge and burton fans must hate us to our core, just when we look sunk we win again. We're massive odds on to go down. I've got a feeling Saturday is going to have a few twists and t...

We really are limping towards the finish line. DC's initial upturn is a thing of fond memories.

At home to Carlisle our home following was pathetic and today's atmosp...
