When you go down by such a narrow margin it’s easy to look at certain games or moments, but really that Carlisle home game stands out as a massive missed opportunity. What a time to put out an absolutely 0/10 performance, when they had the chance to move out of the relegation zone. Saying that thoug...

Wycombe are the football vultures circling above Reading at the moment, they appear to have purchased their training ground for what is likely very much below market value.

Reading fans, unsurprisingly, are a little bit bent out of shape about this news.

FGR out of the relegation zone with a win at Bradford, although Colchester do have two games in hand.

RobinHood

Gloucester lost 7-3 at home to Boston yesterday. Former robin Kelsey Mooney got 4 of them…

RobinHood

Reading expected to be deducted 2 more points.

Charlton’s form since beating us in November.

One potential reason for the longer than usual contract could have been us being unable (or unwilling) to match his FGR wages, so the only way to get it over the line was to lengthen the contract. That’s just a guess of course as have no idea what he was on at FGR, but it’s just very unusual for us ...

RobinHood

Thought it was a strange career move at the time, just didn’t really make massive sense to me.

Had he continued at Barnsley and got them promoted he could have commanded a better role than Swansea, who in recent years have been neither here nor there.

Just didn’t seem like a good fit from the start.

You could make a good footballing case for May to slot into any Championship team but I don’t think he’ll be in the plans of anyone higher than lower mid-table in the league above. If May was 4 years younger then it would make more sense but I can’t see a team that is pushing for the Prem to be buyi...

No new deals offered at all, think they’re in a spot of bother financially, and with a takeover stalling it’s looking bleak up there.

Stockton didn’t really do anything this season until the last couple of games, but suspect he’ll attract interest from wealthier clubs than ours this summer.

RobinHood

That should be an interesting one with a decent away following given the short trip, however I don’t think that will be a TV pick. There’s quite a few non-league teams at home to league opposition, you’d expect Hereford - Portsmouth to be the first pick. If the fixture was reversed it would definite...

RobinHood

A couple of things: Is there any actual evidence that televising games has a direct impact on attendances? it seems a safe assumption to make, but if it's only an assumption without evidence we need to be cautious in drawing conclusions. I think I remember a few years back, Crewe said that when Liv...

Rob Edwards sacked by Watford already. That went well.

RobinHood

Don’t think it really makes sense for Duff and Burnley at this time. Maybe in the 2000’s before Burnley spent some time in the Prem but the step up now is enormous. With the way Burnley (and most other clubs dropping out of the PL) will be run I can’t see them taking a punt on Duff at this stage. If...

RobinHood

Wrexham for £400K and a pre-season friendly.

RobinHood

Lot of shenanigans at Morecambe too, allegations of racist abuse by a home fan, and Bolton fans invaded the pitch after their last minute equaliser.

RobinHood

Tahvon Campbell on verge of six-figure move back to a FL club. Has been doing well at Bromley this year apparently.

RobinHood

[quote="Shade"]When was the last time we lost by 5 or more at home in a league game? I can remember us conceding 4's, 5's and 6's at home, but can't think of us losing by 5 or more. Maybe the relegation season 2014/15? Or under Allen maybe?[/quote] Coventry at home (6-1) a few years ago is...

Crawley Town

RobinHood

On a slightly unrelated note they should bring back the old goal nets. These ones are too close to the hoardings and they are often ‘yanked’ by away fans, as they were today.

RobinHood

Really c!#p draw that. Might have an outside chance as they’ve not made the best start and will probably rest a few first teamers. Doubt the attendance will be impressive at all.

RobinHood

Now more likely to draw a Premier League team (15 of them left) than a Championship, L1 or L2 team (13 of them left).

So Rochdale away it is then.

RobinHood

Both Sunderland games midweek evening fixtures - rubbish.

Also Ipswich at home on a Tuesday too.

RobinHood

Former Robin Joss Labadie gets what may turn out to be the winner.

RobinHood

42 year old Kevin Ellison with a stunner to level it up on aggregate. Think FGR’s third goa would have been given offside if there was VAR as he did look like he got in the keepers vision.

Very decent watch so far, lots going on.

RobinHood

When was the last time that the Robins spent £100K on a player? Is Broom worth 100K? Could we get someone better for that amount or less? Also, would he want to return to us and could we afford his wages now? I like Broom but worry about his inconsistency. Always seemed to lose form when another cl...

RobinHood

Long way back for FGR now.

RobinHood

We had the second best goal difference despite not having a player inside the top 22 goal scorers in the League, which shows how well the goals were spread out and how many different people contributed overall. That will be an area which MD will likely look at, last time we survived in League One we...

Whilst I'm not one for banning gambling as it's a perfectly enjoyable addition to the game for many people, I do think the advertising has gone way too far and is over-saturated, especially in the Premier League and the Championship. I really don't like how prevalent it is now, I don't know what it'...

There are currently 4 players from that season still playing professional football - can you guess them? The rest are either retired or playing semi-professionally in the lower leagues.

Just thought it might be of interest to have a look at some of the teams from our last season in League 1 (2008-09) and see how times have changed since then. Here's a few noteworthy teams from that season of the Martin Allen disasterclass. Leicester City - Now one of the best teams in the country a...

RobinHood

In theory some potentially big clubs, but not many local teams about judging from some of the current tables. Bristol Rovers and Swindon both look doomed to relegation, so the closest team next season (unless one of FGR or Newport go up with us) may well be Oxford, although they do have an outside s...

RobinHood

Tranmere losing to Walsall, also down to 10 men, currently in added time. They look like they've blown their chances now as they're 6 games without a win.

Morecambe move ahead of them into 4th and have a fairly favourable run in.

RobinHood

Feels like a day where we took a giant stride towards promotion. Am certainly not counting any chickens yet as anything can happen in the last games of the season, but we're 7 points clear of 3rd (effectively 8 with our GD) with 6 games to go. Also in our remaining games we only play one team in the...

RobinHood

Their run in contains games against Cambridge, Morecambe, Bolton and Exeter, so if they do stay up then they will have a big impact on the promotion race too.
