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...

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...

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.
