78/9 was my first 'proper' season too. Went with the neighbours for Doncaster in September and was hooked. Highlights were 5-1 Northampton at home ( pretty sure it was on Southern telly - anyone got it?) in February and Pompey and Aldershot over Easter (both 4-0 but I may be wrong). We seemed to wi...
1978-79 was magic - particularly this time of season with the three local derbys at easter and Steve Death's amazing run. Yeah, I loved that season - like the first hit of a drug that turns you into an addict, or the big win with your first bet that hooks you for life. A back four of Gary Peters, M...
I was there too, behind the Tilehurst end goal where it was scored ( Franchise- where is he these days? - and Carnaby’s Whiskers were with me). Description above correct, but I would say he was more central than “ towards the left touchline”. Friday wasn't wrong, was he? John 'Minty' Murray also sc...
Earnshaw is rubbish with stats....the 1994 game was a 4-0 win in the 1993-94 promotion season under Mark McGhee, still ranks as one of the top 3 away performances I've seen from us.
Interesting interview by Dellor with Savage after the game; basically the players feel less pressure and are able to play with more freedom than under Selles.
Probably helps of course that he's starting every week.
Will be interesting to see what Noel does when Elliott is fully fit.
I fully expect us to be suspended from the 4th. May. so don't get your hopes up too much. The seventh place team will take our place as the EFL will not want a team winning the playoffs and not being in a position to take part the next season Besides getting to the playoffs, which we would have a f...
Seems weird to sign Carroll last month if we have no money this month. Not sure I believe things are so bad as all that I agree The update from STAR following their discussion with the club on the financials said that the money from Smith had covered wages until the end of Feb. The figure banded ar...
STAR'S update suggests suspension could well be on the cards, but very little discussion of when that turns into expulsion. We could be suspended for the remainder of the season, forfeit all our matches and still finish 17th. Then the loss of match income brings about insolvency at which point Couh...
Dim is saying the full £12m escrow has been proposed, if that`s rejected we`re done. That wasn't what Rob told me yesterday evening. Unless something has changed today, which lets hope it has and what he says is correct, then we are waiting for Rob to review the deal. Rob corrected me when I sugges...
Think the defence for Peterborough could loook like this: Yids - Bindon - Kanu/Dorsett - Garcia or depending on injury updates Rushesha - Yiadom - Bindon - Abrefa Dean, Kanu, Holzman, Stickland, Mbengue, Garcia, Dorsett all possibly out Also odd one, but on the club website under teams, Holzman isn...
https://x.com/STARReading/status/1905681589675126930?t=8Au9P6s-JlFyw0jaDA8ypQ&s=19 Details from Star's conversation with EFL This is pretty bleak and does seem to confirm that if there's no tangible sale progress next week (which Couhig has claimed is the case) than suspension may be the only o...
Just noticed we're down to 9th following Orient's win at home to Stevenage last night, scored early and sounds like they were fortunate by all accounts.
Thanks for giving RC a chance to put a bit of PR out there for himself! Highlights nobody around here has a clue what is actually going on at the moment. Pulled from pillar to post with a ton of machinations going on. At the end of the day RC managed Wycombe into a very useful well run unit. Meanwh...
From Noel's update on the OS it doesn't sound like anyone from the injured list is back yet and Garcia came back on crutches after getting injured with England and is doubtful for Sat..... Elliott still not in contact training, Dorsett getting there but slowly. Mbengue is ahead of schedule though an...
