Well was fun. Posh were probably the best opposition I've seen this season ... and we matched them. Not saying we weren't under cosh for some extended spells but our attacks looked threatening, we were never completely done for, it was a proper game. So, yeah, same three shone (Dorsett, Smith, Craig...

A bit scrappy in places but, once it went 2-0, basically a straight forward home win.

Best players the same few who've impressed since November - Smith, Craig, Dorsett.

Gratifying to see Azeez slowly but surely come good.

not starting a BFTG thread as I'm staying over in a B&B near the ground. That was solid, almost good. A proper away day. We had one moment of real awfulness then broadly dominated the game but couldn't quite finish the job. Dorsett makes the defence stronger, I think Wing and Craig are our best ...

Oh, a regular then.

Thoughts over three points *while the protest is much needed and, as far as I can see, widely supported on and off the pitch, we've had three tennis ball protests and as far as I can tell, conceded within minutes of each one. The first goal, when it came, was so simple. Couple of passes around the b...

Think this one may be our first truly poor away attendance.

Only way I can get there is a 6 hr coach ride.

PieEater Friday night - out

slight twitch at that - checked the last trains, so I think all good.

Had a really nice long weekend away in Cheltenham this summer. Lido swims every morning, bit of steam tren action. Lovely stuff.

But does an owner need to bank enough money to cover the length of all the contracts offered to players? What happens if an owner agrees to bankroll everything, then gets hit by some kind of industrial crisis which sees their income collapse? Or the owner dies and their heirs just want to take thei...

I like Dorsett - he's a strong, fast, steady left back. More tellingly, in the games I've watched with him in the side, we've played better and looked more solid.

Stranded

Silver Fox What if Oxford v Grimsby doesn't produce a result?

Oxford will be forced to play twice on the same night as we are the only club in the Royal County so can force them to. We also get to pick their team.

Nice!

I wonder what it's like living in Carlisle. Loads of great countryside nearby so probs gr8 if you've got money and time, but also probs gash if you are young and looking to make your way in life I thought it was surprisingly ok when I went a few years ago. But yeah probably not that much work. Ther...

Silver Fox You'd have to be some sort of heartless weirdo to not enjoy the reaction from Azeez after he notched last night, lovely stuff

Just watched the highlights and, yeah, grinned broadly at his reaction/celebration.

That was pretty tense but also a solid away win. The difference in attitude at the end, compared with Shrewsbury, very noticeable. The ludicrously taken throw-in helped. I think we've seen some real development of the squad. Dorsett is a good left back, Craig and Wing the better options in midfield....

IN!

now to unravel the travel - literally oxf*rd between London and Brummingham

down to 7 remaining seats tho'

fcuk getting a train to football these days btw. too expensive an unreliable. just drive No good for those of us who's day out isn't complete without 8 pints and a kebab though. Plus one, but I’d settle for a ploughman’s or pastie/pie. I was up in Leeds for work last summer. Decided to have a ploug...

RFC expand the criteria ...

... still season ticket holders only

Not a fan. The White Horse (posted above) is on the walk out of town but north from the route to the ground. Don't know if they still do the dancing girls. Nearest pub to the ground is probably the Hour Glass, solid if unspectacular. For beer variety, Mad Squirrel and Heidrun. The one by the train s...

Vickers seems to play as a 2nd striker. Now 4222 is seemingly replaced by 433 in the league, how does he fit in? Could he take a wide berth? I get the criticism of Azeez, but he gives you work rate. I haven't seen enough of Vickers to know how good his tracking back is. I've fancied Vickers wide ri...
