Re: Bromley or Solihull Moors
Will be interesting who we do get on Boxing Day. We are nearly always at home, you’d think it would be Swindon but the EFL don’t seem to like real local derbies on BD. Traditionally it’s been south west clubs like Yeovil, Exeter or Plymouth. But some odd ones too, Macclesfield came here 20 years ag...

Re: Former players
no sign of Goodwin in play offs Hasn’t played since 16 March. Still very early to judge, but he’s basically had 4 weeks of his EFL career where he’s a) been fit and b) scored goals. As it stands, we did a cracking deal there. Well done the Board and football management. Hopefully if Oxford go up we...

I know that I keep banging the drum for AK but there was still a small part of me hoping for a tap in for him. It was there for us - one goal and we'd have stayed up. Curtis, Will and Pett look devastated

Re: COE and or DOF
I don't think the issue was Mickey Moore going himself, so much as having no plan for when he did leave. At best, this was naive on the Board's part. At worst, reckless. I have spent today updating my succession plan at work. My team of 12 is relatively stable, at least more stable than a league fo...

I hope there's a special level of hell reserved for tossers who taunt the crowd of a club going down when they score, when they've basically had no stick from said crowd. What a anker.

Re: Why did we lose?

You can't flog our best players Tues/Sat/Tues week after week and expect them to emerge unscathed. Quite a few players are being m...

Re: Four out of six
Maybe Tom King should get run out.

I thought that the whole reason for bringing Baraclough on board w...

If Joe can show 2 or 3 bits of quality in a game and that results in 1 or 2 goals then we will stay up. Keena should be buzzin Mond...

Re: Darrell Clarke after Fleetwood win
I like DC's man management - he's had a private word with Links, cleared the air, now he's training as hard as ever, and gets rewarded with a place on the bench. Protects a creative player like Thomas/Harrop on a bog of a pitch where the tackles will be flying in. Hope everyone is healthy for Monday...

Yes - we're only in with a Scooby due to Darrell Clarke. If he goes, then many others go with him - Pett/Sercombe/Taylor/Ferry/Long. Davies/Southwood/Bonds/Lloyd/Harrop are probably worth a punt at this level - maybe Keena needs better/more creative players around him than we have and then he'll ge...
