Our "new" forward line have scored nearly 250 career goals between them. This is a serious push for the play offs....dare we become just a little bit excited?
Well, that was just awful. It got me thinking....having watched us since the late 80s, last night was the worst performance I can remember since: Bury away. Lew Chatterley was our manager. We lost 5 (I think) and super Trevor Senior missed a sitter towards the end. The travelling support jeered, and...
Interesting to see 3 of the 4 loans on the bench and the one who played easily replaceable by other options. I liked the front line probably for the first time this season. Kelvin has his faults of course but I don’t think we can leave him out. With Kyeweera prob playing himself out the side and Ri...
[quote="Armadillo Roadkill"]Jacobson, Carey and possibly Couhig need to get Hunt into an office for a formal review. Give him the standard performance review questions: We’re not where we expected to be at this time of the season. Can you explain why? What are you going to do to change the...

I think we are almost criminally short up front. Kelvin doesn't look any more like scoring than MOM does. Hardly at all. Okine-Peters is miles away from the first team squad. That leaves us with Jack, great start - but he has a bit of a habit of doing this, and then for whatever reason, it comes apa...
Davies, CB. Gareth? Gareth Davies https://i.holmesdale.net/news/1440.jpg Now 51, retired from the game at 29 due to persistent knee problems. Played about 20 league games for Reading and was the epicentre of Bodingate. Keith Scott https://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/53735000/jpg/_53735519_scott2...
Steve blatherwick Jim Leighton Chris woods Kevin Lisbie Steve Blatherwick set up Archie's equaliser in the injury time 1-0 down, 2-1 win against McGhee's Wolves where the injury time only occured because of an injury to Gilksey, who was playing for Wolves. I thinks that almost qualifies him for leg...
A while back I had a go at recent-ish players with common surnames who I reckon most fans would find hard to place. Here's some: A Smith N Smith B Smith K Jones S Brown A Wright B Roberts J Young M Dobson J Kelly S Kelly J Taylor R Scott Yep remember all of them. Alex Smith Neil Smith Ben Smith Kei...
Got another big injury at the beginning of the week. Career over That's awful. After a fairly lengthy period of fitness, pre-season with Pompey, and then looking head and shoulders above with us at 21 level. Really feel for the guy. BTW - do you know why Paudie is so far behind? Do you know how clo...
I assume that if it ever comes to having to negotiate compensation with a club whose manager you’ve just poached, it probably doesn’t help your case if you’ve gone on record several months earlier with your plan to do it. And whatever names Couhig had in mind in the summer doesn’t mean any of them ...
It's claimed his wages are circa 6k per week, which would probably fit our model. It's been a while since he scored regularly though - I'm not sure Wrexham would get 500k. Could do a lot worse, but I'm afraid I'm not particularly excited.
The last time I posted on here (I think!) I told those reading that Le Fondre was on his way, before anyone else (again, I think, it's been a while) I'm told this morning we watched Bromleys Michael Cheek yesterday (he scored) and we're likely to bid this week. Figure mentioned to me was £300k. The...

We are closing to raiding Swansea's reserves for winger Dyer. Fee of about £350,000. Player in advanced talks. We have also scouted Exeter City's Jayden Stockley a few times. They spent 100k of the incoming Watkins to Brentford money, and will want a healthy return. Norwich and Birmingham also inter...
Brayson must be past 250 goals now, and earns more than a lot of L2 players do. He played for England C, Cardiff, Cheltenham and York. He is a non league legend in the NE and actually parks arses on seats. And the ball hit the inside of the post V Forest and trickled along the line. My then wife cri...
