  1. If you want to go a bit further and into the peak district Hadden Hall is worth a visit as is Chatsworth House. Both will be busy mind as it's a bank Holiday.
  2. Agreed. I want to be proud of my team and currently I'm not. I'm proud of our history, proud of our stadium, proud of our training facilities, proud of our fans but I'm not proud of the team when they play like they did Saturday. Absolutely unacceptable.
  3. I mentioned elsewhere that on the news last night it said the government football regulator will be able to take the decision about financial distribution of funds away from the Premier League.
  4. On the news last night it said a football regulator would ensure a more even distribution of money in that it wouldn't be the prem clubs voting to keep it all.
  5. We played some good football yesterday. Mixed slick patterns of play with power and pace up front. Gayle making a huge difference by helping our wide men stick to what they are best at. His link up play is above this level. Shame he's past his best but if he wasn't he wouldn't be with us now.
  6. Ward having a good game against my expectations so well done to him. I wish we were a little more controlled when defending under pressure. We would look a lot better if we could find our man rather than just clearing. Of course there are times to just clear it but not as much as we do.
  7. Asking for Sibley and Ward not to give the ball away is a bridge too far........
  8. That was really bad. The ball was in the air far too much for which both sides were to blame. Unfortunately we are not very good. Living some distance away there is no way I will travel to watch our football. It's tv only for me I'm afraid and that saddens me.
  9. Totally agree. Not sure how they are doing now but in Bournemouths first season in the Premier league they lost £96m or something like that. Crazy.
  10. We all want Louie to do well becuase we all want all our players to do well. Football in some respects is easy. All Louie has to do is perform at a high enough level no matter what position he plays and he will become a regular starter. That isnt asking too much its just what he needs to do but as yet hasn't. First and formost for me he has to improve his ball retention and passing. He loses the ball or gives it away far too easily when in possession. He isn't blessed with much pace which means protecting the ball and knowing when to pass are so important. Basically I dont see a player who is going to take the team forwards as I thinkwe have others who are better. I hope Im completely wrong but its not what I see.
  11. The team should do exactly as you state and I'm sure they will but us fans can speculate surely?
  12. We had to win the battle first and the selection and aggression allowed us to succeed. Once the subs came on and we started to play, Stevenage couldn't match us.
  13. Purely my opinion of course but I don't think Brown is anywhere near ready for our first team.
  14. If injury was holding him back MCN I don't think he should have been on the pitch. He has been very lacklustre to say the least. I also thought he looks like a rabbit caught in the lights. Perhaps struggling with the expectation at DCFC.
  15. It is too early to judge but if it were me I'd be busting a gut to impress..... On that basis I'm more than slightly worried with the two brief appearances we've seen.
  16. Perhaps our local journalists will officially ask if there is any clause in the deal to purchase at the end of the loan?
  17. Worth a gander at the Exeter fans forum. Very complimentary generally with many saying we are the best they have seen this season.
  18. Todd was that good that school kids playing in the playground stopped wanting to be the goal scorer and started wanting to be Toddy. What a player he was.
  19. Exactly. Thats where we need a bit of quality and despite just about every player saying how talented the dressing room is we consistantly play in the last 10mins like we have no brain or talent by a big hoof up field straight to the opposition........Does my head in!
