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...

Been probably asked, but when is the date for the next round of this? And will it still be divided north vs north / south vs south? Did just look - week commencing 4th December, and it remains regional until the QFs in the new year. Next round is seeded so can have an idea of which 7 teams we might...

We've got a talented but mostly young and inexperienced squad. When its like for like, they do well.

In an ideal world, they'd be eased into the matchday squad and given time and space to properly develop.

Mid Sussex Royal Viera and Nelson starting for Arsenal, both seen first team action recently.

Azeez on bench - have we sold him??

If we get an Elm Park one, as well, I'll dig out some of my favourite Legs and Co performances.

Don't suppose you've got a Top 10 lowest attendances? You provide that, I'll play this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0PiVpHvXd0, we're all good.

blythspartan I know this is only against their under 21s, but if we win this one will it count as finally breaking the Arsenal hoodoo? Hopefully, if we go 4 goals up we’ll be able to hang on for the win.

Up until the Added Time board went up, that was a solid, if imperfect, away performance. Their keeper looked dreadful, especially his kicking and positioning. We were snapping into tackles in a way that we rarely have this season. One good goal, one maybe lucky one, Azeez just needs to hit that for ...
