Also fair to say we didn't do a lot of recovery running during the Harborough game. We controlled possession for large parts and they played very direct and quickly, so it's not like we spent a long time chasing the ball. I imagine Cambridge chased the ball at lot more than we had to. They didn't h...
When did pedancy change from being an unnecessary highlighting of a trivial error for no real benefit, to pointing out substantive errors or false comparisons?
Yet our away attendances are some of the highest in the league. I think that might solve your riddle. What riddle? I'm talking about home attendances but I appreciate the away figures - I haven't looked at those directly. You have unrealistic expectations for our home attendances under the circumst...
Interesting that someone at the club seems to have leaked this, if he's gone a year with nothing leaking it's unlikely his end, but nothing is leaking about the current 'exclusives'
The club should refuse to rearrange the Wrexham game, that way we can retain our TV early kick off at 12.30 and just make a double header with Burnley at 3pm. Probably get a lot more fans. Tiredness not a problem for the important game either. :lol: shouldn't be any logistical or practical problems...
The Reading fans were absolutely dire. The atmosphere was weird. There were some attempts at chants around Y25 but the rhythm and pace were off, if was as if it was people who has never been to a game before. It was silent and I was embarrassed by the ridiculous chants of "you're not singing a...
Special word for the refereeing. I’ll have a pint of whatever he/they were on. A linesmen who didn’t want to make a decision and what was that American football style body check by the Harborough player down towards the South West corner about when he realised he was being outpaced and the ref gave...
I'm a bit concerned about this one given a sizable number of first team players made much bigger appearances on Saturday than we would've liked - particularly the two who came off the bench at half-time. 120 - Garcia 76 - Akande 75 - Craig; Savage 60 - Campbell; Wing 47 - Dorsett 45 - Camara; Ellio...
I doubt the EFL have massively tight rules on that and as long as they are only paying fair market value then I don't see it being an issue - they have already bailed the club out on a few occasions. Plus if they were to say only own 15% of the club then they wouldn't need to pass any EFL tests tha...
The Athletic reporting that Roger Smee's bid is credible and is not reliant on administration. Also has significant local backing.... Sounds more credible that he is fronting a consortium. Wonder if the SCL guys might be involved, or would that be a conflict of interest with them being the current ...
The one thing that we've had that most managers don't get is time. Our situation has meant Selles has had time to build this team as a unit, because "success" for us is defined as still existing and not plummeting down too many divisions. At many other clubs, the fans' and owners' demands...
It just shows how you don't need to spend money for success - assuming you can find players who fit what you want to do for frees. The one thing that we've had that most managers don't get is time. Our situation has meant Selles has had time to build this team as a unit, because "success"...
Harborough’s first shouldn’t have been given after the amount of shirt pulling from the Harborough player who scored. Don’t understand why Kanu got a second booking for what is essentially two players giving a shoulder barge to each other with the Harborough player then going down like someone had ...
You ideally want either a lower ranked side to boost chances of getting more prize money or a "glamour" home tie. So either Dagenham/Tamworth at home, or one of the big PL clubs, who will play the kids and therefore we might be able to shcok them (or go to Pens). So we'll get an away game...

Royal_jimmy Button just doesn't come out for corners. First one was easily preventable and was rooted to the spot.
He was blocked, and there was a light shove. He should be much stronger and not end up lying in the goal, but getting to the ball was always going to be difficult.
I get the fact that Harborough were denied a replay at their place, but at 90 mins they had us at 11 v 10 with half an hour to play, some of them may have preferred ET at that point. They weren’t really denied a replay, they knew that wasn’t an option before the game Both teams may have set up diff...
