I know its a bit later in the season than usual, we're well past August now but its good to see Notts Forest in their usual position...

He's coming for you, he's coming for you, Paul Jewell, he's coming for you

How often do you get on Sky? 
They not choose to pick your big clash with Cambridge from the weekend? 


 

Or 'Pierre Ducroqofsh*t' as @Pikeyramused to call him!

Back in management at Vitesse. Pleased for him, lots disagree but I do think he was right man at the wrong time for us.

Dcfcfans users this afternoon…

Given what they wanted to do to us, and the songs that they promised to sing to celebrate our demise, I think it's important that we just take the win and not gloat.
 
But it's quite difficult....

THAT FIRST ONE IS FOR YOU, MA'AM! A minute's applause, the anthem, GOAL!!! Superb!
Yet again, Liam got his tactics wrong from the start. None of us had any idea from the team sheet how we were going to line up, so Wycombe were going to have no idea at all what they were going to face. But it actually didn't matter - Wycombe, as is their way, said a very clear "Stuff you" and just got on with their game, so those tactics didn't work! And no, the lump in my cheek is my tongue, not cancer!
As everyone has said we were dreadful in the opening 20 - 25 minutes, with one possible cause being a new system which we hadn't had much time to work on. But at least Liam tried something different, despite telling us he wasn't changing anything. But the biggest factor, as against Lincoln, was the lack of effort from many of the players. Twice, a pass out to the wing, although not good ones, were there to be chased down by Hourihane and he would have been absolutely clear, but both times he settled back to a trot and let the ball go. Apart from his goals, I was not impressed, and he was probably a greater candidate than Bird for being subbed. The only players worth their salt in that half were Knight (as ever), Sibley and Cashin. They were the only ones who seemed to give a damn.
There was a massive irony that Wycombe accused us of cheating, when that seemed to be a part of their game plan from the first minute. Time wasting from the 15th minute, kicking the ball away at every opportunity, feigning injury as soon as we were breaking away, and several less than regulation challenges. Barkhuisen got cleaned out with a studs up challenge early on which was at least a definite yellow, but no card given. Either Bird or Hourihane was fouled as he was breaking clear, which the ref did give, which was another blatant yellow. But 3 different players kicked and ran the ball away, so the ref chased them, obviously to threaten them that he would frown at them if they carried on. And no yellow for the foul, despite being only too willing to card Hourihane for  similar foul. Similarly for a clattering on Sibley - the ref played the advantage, but still didn't give the yellow. Very poor, and until the last part of the match, the only Wycombe yellow was for time wasting. Incidentally, there was contact when Sibley went down in the area, but Sibbers made a meal of it - probably noting that Lincoln got a penalty for only slightly less of a dive. But he ought to know that we hardly get any penalties, let alone soft ones.
But something got our dander up and we started to make the new formation start to work and we gradually started to take control, with several spells of pressure - once we started to attack their penalty area, they didn't know how to deal with it, resulting in the bagatelle scene, and several other shots. What saved them was their desire to win the ball, which meant a number of blocks and last ditch tackles. But we were knocking on the door. We could have gone in at half time 2 or 3 goals ahead, especially if McGoldrick had got his shooting boot on. He is really classy and elegant in the build up play, but apart from a lack or power, all his shots were straight at the keeper. Come on David, you can do better.
Second half saw us work up to knocking on the door again, especially after the substitutions - well done, Liam for those! And a goal was only a matter of time, and it was a delight to watch that shot which I knew was going in way before it did! The second goal was an absolute delight, because it took all 3 points off the team that, as someone said early on in the thread, were trying to grave rob us while we were still on our death bed! Sweet!
So we beat the scummy Wycombe, and made a load of places on the Red Dogs (a bit tenuous, that last bit!).
COME ON YOU RAMS!

Me in the last 20 mins of that game.

Up yours Couhig, or whatever your name is.

 

Leave it on. 
Rail strikes are off meaning I can get there. ? 

I can't believe that the club are even contemplating going ahead with this fixture. We have a moral obligation to show our deep felt and serious respects for both the late Queen and the King. We should also not be adding to the burden of our police forces during this momentous time. Come on Mr Clowes, make the right call and postpone.
 
It has absolutely nothing to do with my wife having a family event in Birmingham next Saturday and me facing the choice of missing the game or having a week or so in the doghouse.

Life must go on. A respectful minute silence before the game and then back to calling the referee a clueless twazock for 90mins. 

It’s not a small sacrifice is it. People will have booked trains and hotels, to cancel a match at less than 48 hours notice during the cost of living crisis is ridiculous. What’s wrong with a minute silence and black armbands. If people want to mourn then don’t go but don’t force it on everyone 

No. Next question 

People are going to work as normal today. Kids are in schools as normal. Why should sports events be cancelled this weekend?
I understand halting some stuff yesterday when the news dropped, but UEFA matches still went ahead without issue.
Horse racing postponed today along with the test match. Also the last 3 stages of the Tour of Britain have been cancelled. A lot of money down the drain the event organisers and those working within the sports that have been cancelled, and the change of plans to the fans and spectators who won't be able to change bookings at the drop of a hat.

Kinky so and sos
