Nothing on his Twatter, nothing on the official site, no mention in the report nor DCs interview. Has another player said something? Definitely his ankle (yes, I realise that's part of his leg, but "broken leg" conjures up images of tibia and fibula, which I'm pretty certain it wasn't). T...

Just a small thing but 'hats off' to the Stevenage no 14 Kane Smith who stood and applauded us Cheltenham fans after the final whistle yesterday. Class act, much appreciated (by me anyway).

Warwickshire Robin

Do we know why Mr Bence is going? On another subject, any news on Luke Southwood. Shame we couldn't give him the send off that we gave to the rest of the team this afternoon. A great asset to the side and an amazing two year stint with us. If you are on your way Luke, "thank you"! It’s a ...

Another summer of fun ahead. Why anyone pays any attention or gives credence to anything that is said on FB is beyond me and am surprised that anyone would give up a passion due to it. Am not on FB or X so can only presume that the comments he refers to were personal attacks on himself and not the ...

Warwickshire Robin

If I could pick I would have chosen Vale partially because it's close but equally they are in such poor form (2 wins in half a season). FGR won 6 games last season. One was against Bolton, another was against Sheffield Weds. Football is a mad, mad game. Yes, and we took 4 points out of 6 from Champ...

Interesting early Stevenage team news from SportsMole.co.uk:- "The hosts have a lengthy list of absentees going into this match with the potential of up to eight players being absent due to injury and suspension. Dan Butler served the first of a three-game ban against Oxford United after being ...

Warwickshire Robin

We've never officially taken 1,000 to FGR I believe. We took 3,000 to Notts County in 2003 (stat courtesy of JP). According to the report on the official website we took 1,200 to FGR in December 22, although that does seem a rather round number so could well be an estimate? JP reported the same - I...

Probably FGR, other than that it’s probably a decade ago. Don’t think we even took 1000 to the Torquay or Northampton play offs We've never officially taken 1,000 to FGR I believe.

As per the rest of the season the emotions are all over the place right now. Read a report about Peterborough's potential line up this evening and I start to think maybe there's a chance, then I think to our squad situation with a large portion of them out injured and most of the rest seemingly held...

Warwickshire Robin

I am not for the board being removed either. I found the chants directed at David Bloxham on Saturday uncomfortable, unwarranted and unnecessary. However, I would like the board over the summer to at least start communicating what they are doing to put a plan in place to achieve their own stated aim...

Warwickshire Robin

Darren Ferguson after today's game:- "Tuesday will be a completely different team. I’ll be freshening the whole team up because that’ll be the only opportunity I’ve got to do it. "We’ve had a lot of games, I wasn’t going to risk anyone but we all had an eye on if Derby were going to slip u...

Warwickshire Robin

One thing that struck me today thinking about improving income was that I would imagine two of the bigger sponsorship incomes would be the shirt front and kit manufacturer We have had Errea and Mira both for over 20 years now if I remember correctly. Is this because they constantly outbid everyone e...

Warwickshire Robin

Yeah decent effort today, pretty much did the best we could with the resources available. My god did Lincoln take shithousery to a new level though! The no 6, 9 and goalkeeper in particular. Read a report from their own fans website that said they did this at Oxford but wasn't quite expecting this h...

I assume both those are contracted for next year? Not checked.

Freestone is, but Lloyd isn't I believe?

Warwickshire Robin

I'm a bit confused with the backlash against selling players to breakeven or make a profit. Its not luck to sell a player but a clear part of the club's business plan. We develop and improve players, give them experience with the aim to make a profit on them. At L1 level, with average attendances a...

Another reason for not being able to wait this godforsaken season to end:- https://www.skysports.com/watch/video/13117276/behind-the-whistle-bristol-rovers-incorrectly-awarded-penalty OK didn't cost us a goal at the time but did cost Luke a broken toe and yet another in the deficit column for the 'D...

Warwickshire Robin

We really do find ourselves in a very confusing situation at CTFC don’t we?! We are in historic times for our club on the pitch and yet seem to be on the verge of crisis off it. I think the frustration for me is around the seeming lack of any plan to take the club forward. Whatever that plan might b...

Warwickshire Robin

Not sure if this has been mentioned anywhere else but Pett, Keena, Freestone all out for the last 3 and Lloyd touch and go aswell. At least we're well stocked for LCBs and CMs. As for forwards, lets just hope MT can hold together. Never fear, I am a free agent and will be bringing an old pair of bo...

Warwickshire Robin

Interesting take on Peterborough here which may give us some hope:-

https://www.peterboroughtoday.co.uk/spo ... es-4593854

Warwickshire Robin

Problem is, Burton could potentially get 6 points. Realistically, our best chance for a win is probably this weekend - it's hard to see us getting many more than 3 points from our last games, which are definitely the toughest of the set. We could easily get less than 3 points - and that leaves us h...

Warwickshire Robin

Yes this has turned out to be a very frustrating season all round and I personally cannot wait for it to be over. In my opinion this has easily been the weakest League 1 of the three seasons we have been in it and even taking into account our bad summer, catastrophic start and squad limitations we c...

Warwickshire Robin

I would take a little issue with the lack of depth argument. Yesterday we had Williams, Bradbury and Sloggett not even on the bench. I dont remember getting this late into a season before and having three senior players not logged out or not having to have 2 or 3 kids on the bench. That said we are ...

Warwickshire Robin

The last two games have reeked of a group of players who know no longer believe they can stay up, most of which know they won't be here next season and a manager who has lost focus on what made us successful and instead is tinkering constantly to find another way. All of which is a perfect storm of...

Warwickshire Robin

I'm guessing tomorrows result might swing it one way or the other. We noticed those blocks weren't sold out on Tuesday, despite the hype around how important the game was, so I understand waiting to see which side is likely to sell more to some extent. I hope this gets brought up at the forum on Th...

Warwickshire Robin

attempted to buy 7 tickets for the last game in the CF today, but no joy as it exceeds the number available, so can only presume the clowns have decided to give blocks 7 & 8 away again and deny home fans seats. Looks like I have been to my last home match for the season :( Peterborough's websit...

Whilst on the subject of strikers I thought the abuse nuttall received last night was well out of line. Our club refused to reinvest the goodwin fee properly and ended up loaning a conference striker,have a go at the board not the player. Embarrassing how many jeers and sarcastic cheers you could h...

Warwickshire Robin

I don't agree with that. I think if Keena can get the right partner, he can be brilliant in League 2. If he can work something out with Street in the summer for example. I agree with Jim. Add a decent target man to Keena, Street and Taylor, with a young nippy loanee then the forward line may not be...

Warwickshire Robin

What has happened to Sloggett? He looked good against Oxford and Barnsley but has disappeared since, is he injured or what? Desperately need some fresh legs in midfield. Was thinking the exact same. Very strange if he isn't injured that he has now fallen below even Olayinka despite two promising sh...

Warwickshire Robin

After match presser should have consisted of one word and one word only........ Sorry.

Warwickshire Robin

Probably one of, if not the, most desperate, turgid, mind numbing, clueless, guileless, abject games of football I have ever had the misfortune to witness. From inexplicably lumping balls up to our two ball playing 10's, to Bradbury taking goal kicks from outside the 6 yd box... TWICE, to Elliott Bo...

Seems like Carlisle's terrible season goes from bad to worse:-

Another good pod gents although it did have the effect of raising my blood pressure back up by reminding me of the Easter Monday Refereeing Fiasco! Thanks also for the name check Si! One thing that struck me when you were all talking about the players looking 'leggy' on Monday was that I don't think...

Warwickshire Robin

I don't wish to defend him, but is it not possible that he got given a dressing down after the Leeds-Millwall incident and therefore felt that if there was a similar handball incident that he'd be better to give it than not? Quite possibly Si. Although shame the knee to the face (or in our case sho...

Warwickshire Robin

Seems our friend Mr Martin isn't always as quick to give handball penalties, see this from two weeks ago but he is apparently consistent in his inability to referee games properly :-
