Whatever happens…

….I hope others join me in praising Darrell and the boys for not giving up. Sure, we suffered disappointments of our own making (Reading, Carlisle), due to officials and due to injuries. Looking back ten days ago, bouncing back yet again and taking it to the last day looked like the best we could ho...

Re: The RCS + DC annual countdown thread

The sword of Damocles has not yet fallen.

12 wins down.

Will one more do it?

A 15th would have seen us safe, so as usual the countdown thread was on the money.

Re: tonight

If we can be certain about anything it is that football is full of surprises.

Relegation has hung over us like the sword of Damocles since August. We are all holding our breath now, prepared for it to finally drop and end the dread. But we cross fingers it stays hanging a little longer.

Re: Cheltenham Town v Lincoln City

It's almost as if they're waiting for our LCB and RCB to get isolated against their wingers - rapid balls from the centre out wide are leaving Shep and Davies one on one and they don't have the pace. This is Harrop's time to shine with 15/20 minutes to go... Thomas on in the first half again - and ...
