Re: CONFRIMED: Latest rumours Confrimed as Unconfrimed

I don't know if the hierarchy at the club have sinister intentions. From the outside, it looks like they're simply out of their depth.

Re: CONFRIMED: Latest rumours Confrimed as Unconfrimed

All I will say is if the club commit to a wall of silence, Couhig can put out his narrative unchallenged. Everything he said is very believable and I trust his word more than the club. He is brash and at times unlikeable, but I don't think he's a liar. I still think smart money is that he ends up as...

Re: England - the future....

Thanks. Although he is of course still a fantastic finisher (clearly better than Watkins), if he can't just play as a striker and instead keeps coming deep (as you say, getting in the way), I suspect we will be a better team without him in it. If you look at Spurs and Bayern, he has always been sur...

Re: Rival Watch

Agree with above, looking down for now....in fact we only have to go back 2 years to find us in a similar position at this time of the season, we won at Hull just before the world cup break leaving us 10th......then a spate of injuries and an unexpected points deduction (at least when it was announ...

Re: Bindon to be sold

There may be some truth to the rumour, but £9m is bollocks given his contract situation and the division he plays in.

Re: CONFRIMED: Latest rumours Confrimed as Unconfrimed

Maybe Smee and SJM joint ticket just to get it out of his hands, make it more financially stable and sell on again.

Probably bollocks. I don't really want to hear rumours of new parties. I want to see the preferred bidder get a deal done.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Newport County (h)

Can we all please stop kidding ourselves that the mickey mouse pizza cup can somehow save the club? TV revenue and prize money can probably buy a few Freddos.

An FA Cup run is a different matter.

Re: Away form

Just a thought that occured to me this morning regarding our away form and who we have/will have played away from home by Xmas. Based on the current league table - our away fixtures up until 21st December will have been against the following (league position in brackets): Wycombe (1) Birmingham (2)...

Re: On this day #5847

Really was the lowest of the low. Doesn't feel like things have improved off the pitch, but at least the team have given us moments to enjoy on it since.

Easy to forget we were 10 points off safety after that game, and we survived comfortably in the end despite having a further 2 points deducted.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Stevenage (a)

As a thought experiment with MK Dons, I often wonder if they could have achieved more had the owners with the bright idea done everything organically. Started a club at the bottom and pushed them through the leagues at AFC Wimbledon ultimately did. It would create more of an identity as Milton Keyne...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Stevenage (a)

Yeh, we're pretty tinpot. Obviously more success and promotion would bring back more fans, but I'm interested to see how we do simply if Dai fcuks off and we're not facing existential crisis. Some stability, decent signings and a team with genuine ambitions of promotion could get us up to averaging ...

It feels like years since we had a euphoric last minute winner. Knibbs had a decent chance today. Hopefully our time will come.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Stevenage (a)

Good to see Ahmed doing well. Specialised RB could allow Craig as DM away. Add in Dorsett's return and Smith likely being available and we're in good shape - who knows where Abrefa is though. Problem is the next 2 games are tough. Today was winnable and we probably should have done based upon the 2n...

If you judge Campbell by goals and assists output, he's doing just fine. Feels like he's already becoming an escaped goat.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Stevenage (a)

The line just isn't very good for L1. Camara is inexperienced, Garcia is a 16 year old left back, Knibbs is not a striker, Craig is not a RB. We have some good players like Bindon and Wing, but a few injuries and the squad is simply exposed. Is it surprising that we concede from crosses given the FBs?

Re: MATCHWATCH : Stevenage (a)

Last league game for 2 weeks, so Smith should only miss one game. Winnable if we can turn up, but desperately short up top without Smith.

Re: Goalkeepers

Think you're missing off Feds. Sure he wasn't an academy player, but we signed him as a 20 year old from nowhere. It was a big success for our GK coaching that he broke into the first team and played such a big part in promotion. I'd put him and McCarthy as the biggest successes, but if you look at ...
