Well, if we're sliding into whisky tours, if anyone finds themselves in the north of Scotland, Glenmorangie is interesting... Can't stand the stuff, personally. Whisky, that is. More of a Disaronno and Jagermeister connoisseur... Anyway, Brostil Revors tomorrow. Good omen. I watched the Mo/PPS liqu...

I‘m surprised about the comments on style of play as the first thing he did for us was to make our game possession-based, which was quite tedious to watch initially. At times. A lot of the time the plan was ping it down the channels to get a throw then if we don’t head the throw into the net then p...

Just a simple 1 in 1 out for our development keepers
I'd wager Max Harris earns quite a bit more than Partingdon. Expect others to follow to non-league in the coming weeks once injured players return.

Surely Weston can’t afford to pay much of his salary.

Who is our substitute keeper now?

asl wrote: ↑02 Dec 2023, 08:55 One of the theories from their forum is that they fielded their emergency loan keeper - but named their 'injured' keeper on the bench. That might explain why it's not so cut and dried as the Barnsley case.

Weird

Also - I want to say a massive thank you to everyone who's listened to us ramble on this year. The stats below are outstanding: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GAL5TZqW4AA7cXc?format=jpg&name=4096x4096 https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GAL5Tn9XUAATzCk?format=jpg&name=4096x4096 https://twitter.com/Rob...

I don’t know, why was Luke in the same kit as the ref on Saturday?

I guess Appleton hasn’t done his homework on May then, given he was going backwards being played wide at Doncaster and eventually found his feet up front with us. Also, just why would you play the second highest scoring striker in English professional football this year out of position?! Let’s pray...

I’d rather we play on the edge and occasionally go over board like Street did, than play timidly and without fight like earlier the season. Did the players getting themselves worked up and aggressive help us get on top of Oxford and win the game? Yes. On this occasion a player got carried away and w...

Great win Saturday. Amazing how Darrell has managed to get a tune out of the players. I love his no nonsense approach. I should imagine the training ground/ sessions and expectations is a stark contrast to life under Wade in terms of work rate, discipline etc. One thing I didn't like in the highlig...

Artell will do well for them, I reckon (that's relegation assured, then).

I’d liken DC’s impact to Postecoglou at Spurs - both lost their star striker, both instantly improved the atmosphere and morale at the club as well as getting vastly superior performances out of the same squad of players as their predecessors did. Also similar in that Spurs are a better team now th...

Closest I can see on oddschecker is the market for ‘to make top half’. CTFC is 33/1.

No odds being offered for us to reach playoffs on oddscchecker on mobile.

Thompson and Ferry out :( With no Thompson or Bonds, be interesting to see who gets that spot. Especially with Chapman, Adshead and Olayinka basically out of the picture. Were a better side without Bonds, we get the ball forward quicker, were not caught in pocession as much. In my view Pett and Tho...

If we’d sat back and let Oxford come at us and build their confidence it could have been a different outcome. You don’t get to second in the league by being a poor side. Our ‘attack and press’ tactics from the start put them in a situation that they struggled to cope with. It will hopefully now giv...

DC also said at the forum that he didn’t want to the team to play with a mid-block because “a mid-block worked last season because they could wait for the opposition to make a mistake and then Alfie May would score, but we don’t have Alfie May anymore.” So yes I agree Wade was a good coach and worke...

Reasonably even on shots, and possession is a poor indicator of which team was on top - I wish they stopped reporting possession stats because people pay far too much attention to it.

For me, I think there are two points here. Firstly, I agree with the consensus that the £250k threshold was too low, should have been at least £300k if not £350k but that is just my opinion.

To me this argument about the price is that people are getting value and worth mixed up. You may value something at one price but it is only worth what somebody is willing to pay. If nobody wants to buy then it becomes worthless. But in this case the price was set by the seller before any buyers ma...
