Re: Confimred - Jack Marriott

A nuisance of a striker and a textbook Noel Hunt striker signing - and one I would think we need. Defenders won't like playing against him, he will put himself about - similar mould of a striker to Sam Smith I would say. The young lad will learn heaps off him too. No surprise about the length of the...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Bolton Wanderers (a)

In summary - A team very low on confidence goes away from home and nabs a point in a game they deserved to get nothing from. What this means going forward - - it could be a turning point - it fundamentally has to mean that Ben Elliott is the first name on the team sheet every week as it will genuine...

Re: Away followings

No doubt that our away following has improved massively - especially since dropping into L1. Still a solid amount of the old-timers and naturally the kids with their fake Stone Island gear and weird looking hoods with goggles on them. However (and I know I have said this in another thread), when our...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Portsmouth (a)

Don’t think anyone was expecting that tonight - the confidence we will take from it will be massive. Many lauding the away end tonight too, for the most part top drawer - then anyone signing OWTS ruined it, nothing more embarrassing than an away end singing another teams song to wind up home fans, h...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Lincoln City (a)

Always take a few days before my BFTG post to mull over it. I wasn’t wowed, I wasn’t gutted - I saw some positive shoots and saw negative ones. The biggest concern is always when you see opposition fans question your teams set-up, and let’s face it - we played straight into their hands with a high l...

He only says what most of us are thinking privately, difference is we are not tweeting about it hourly. Sounds like you may also need to seek help if you feel the same as hin.

Re: The idiots of Twitter thread

The danger is (and you would hope the new owners are wise enough to it) that the views of the keyboard warrior kids on Twatter come across as the views of the wider fanbase - which they are clearly not. Maybe because it is school summer holidays they are being more vocal than normal... but it is pai...

Just the kids on Twitter being little entitled football fans - expecting there to be a new signing announcement every day. A bit like a spoilt kid at Christmas, will unwrap one present - throw it to one side and ask where the next one is. If there’s a signing announced today watch that happen… On a ...

Re: Noel Hunt Confrimed

Really can't get my head around our fans that celebrate the news of Selles getting sacked. His time with us with the circumstances was nothing short of top drawer, leaving us in a PO position and sacrificing his own wages. For me, it is a shame he never got given time there to succeed and hope he go...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Leyton Orient (a)

Let the result and performance sink in, for what was a complete waste of a Saturday visiting east London for such an abject performance. One obvious frustration that I haven’t seen picked up is Campbell was at fault for BOTH goals. He needlessly lost possession for the first by not playing the ball ...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Blackpool (h)

Taken a few days to let the performance sink in. Massive overreaction imo. I didn’t see hardly any/ if any differences in that first half performance vs a Selles side in terms of set-up, build up etc. Under Selles we played a lot of those long balls from defenders with the aim to win the second ball...

Dellor said to him something like, but your relationship with Selles is good now? And Holmes largely swerved the question and talked about just being professional and getting on with doing his job. It spoke volumes. My impression was there is no love lost between them and it’s all about being profe...
