Sparkle

I have had my season ticket over 40 years so I will buy one anyway but I also buy one for my mate so not so cheap, I totally understand people deliberating about buying one when faced with travelling long distances especially if what they are watching is considered football garbage. For me this season has been interesting because for various reasons ( bereavement, Hospital stays, holidays ) I have missed 6 home fixtures and it hasn’t bothered me in the slightest compared to all the previous seasons where missing one game would be tragic. I won’t be buying mine until the last week though

Good for him, great last season for us shame the other seasons couldn’t match our hopes

He has a stubborn streak doesn’t he - thinking 3 centre half’s is the way to go even at home whatever it costs the team elsewhere in the selected team. Does he have favourites? Well it seems to appear so Does he give youngsters a chance, even in none sense cup games - not really Does he sign players with huge recent injury records - absolutely is he a good judge of a player ? - depends on your view point, use Bradley as an example - past 30 signed on high wages and looked not very good at all and fairly incapable of playing in a back 4 and when you compare to a Curtis Davies who played for very little for us in the past two seasons who never looked useless and positionally sound ( no surprise he is helping Cheltenham away from the relegation spots) it's all about opinions but I think a lot of our players look as miserable as they can be weather or not they are playing or not

Wasn’t playing at left back either

The word was can - at left back there is more chance of him actually receiving the football to have opportunities to do either the way we play

One thing that has irritated me all season has been when an opposing player decides to have a lie down with the trainer on our whole team basically walks off the pitch to be replaced by about 6 or 7 people in grey tracksuits who must claim to be a coach or something and after the minimum five minutes they return to the pitch with yet another set of instructions. Well last night I saw about 6-7 of our players simply staying on the pitch in their positions, I have no idea if that means something but it something different to look at

100% totally sums me up as well

I wonder how many supporters would have selected that back four last night based on what we have seen this season with who was available? For me the strongest and balanced back four available would have been Nyambe Nelson Cashin Sibley and yes Sibley could be a potential weak link it hasn’t really transpired that way when he has played and not to mention he can cross a ball and shoot.

He went to QPR on loan last season so that’s not true, our manager openly stated that he didn’t want players like Martin when asked because he wants one that run around a lot and are good chaps and make him a coffee. Why would he want a Chris Martin who has demonstrated the highest goals ratio to minutes played in this league and controls the football and lays it off to others making forward midfield runs - but then again our midfielders aren’t allowed to do that.

Next season we will have worse players is the depressing statement and the better players of a football are leaving or wanted away from Warneball for whatever reason given - McGoldrick to Notts county in a league below, Knight and Bird to Bristol city for goodness sake whilst NML has kept us away from the bottom half of this league of dreadful non football

I thought it was deliberate to start with half a team playing in positions that they are not as good as in their best positions! Maybe it is so that he can tell them to change the team shape every ten minutes because he has got it wrong again

Did he really say that? I hope the interviewer followed up on that one !

Yes so it seems

He doesn’t know how to play any football - let’s hope we get promoted somehow and he can leave

Actually we held a sweepstake tonight to guess the minute we would have an effort on target the winner was a mate who said 43rd minute whilst it was the 39 minute- most of us went for the second half around 70 minutes

I said it at the beginning of the season and got moaned at - At home we have been ok about twice whilst losing to two league two sides in the cups as well - try selling season tickets to watch that garbage again.We have the players to actually play real football and look decent

Absolute Dross Cashin played well enough Madness from Wildsmith and beyond poor from Wilson on the back pass and Bradley was allowed by Charlton to have the ball because they knew he would lose it and so easily outpaced

Not fair on Luton they got 30 point deduction and non league so I suspect they will hold no sympathy and they couldn’t appeal either

Maybe 🤔 I better mention to the wife we have two games this week then

Our best available currently Wildsmith Nyambe. Nelson. Cashin. Elder Bird. Adams Hourahan NML Sibley. Barkhauzen Gayle when fit enough up front whilst Hourahan should start at home with Wilson decent off the bench out wide - hopefully CBT can improve our options at some point and Waghorn to finish the season how he started it.

The home supporters have seen us play 😉 maybe if they sold a ticket with 20 minutes to go it would be better value based on this season so far

I wonder if he is any good at centre forward ? Because he shouldn’t have been starting in a back 5 with 3 centre half’s at home again and Cashin and Nelson being fit.in my honest opinion

Well we completely out foxed Stevenage didn’t we - by us not trying to score a goal or attack them with any menace until the very end of the game Fantastic 3 points Awful game to watch can we please get promoted and get out of this league! If we play like that for much longer and not get promoted then season ticket sales will be very slow Well done Sibley who scores some very important goals for us

Er hang on, I have never criticised Collins play, in fact my comments have been broadly supportive of his abilities within what we have available

It would be rather unfortunate if Collins was out for the season - would that mean we would have to play the ball through midfield?
