Funniest thing is title of their thread- that went well

Let’s hope he carries that form over to the County Ground 

Don't think anything is set in stone. If Warne kind find players with the ability and work ethic to add something or provide cover, they'll be in. If he can't they won't. I think he will be aware that the biggest impediment to promotion may well be injuries to key players though, so I suspect they will be working hard rather than being sat there thinking, well we're doing ok right now.

I love this thread, me.

47 runs, and another not out top score in a winning effort for du Plooy today. 

Leicester and the Famous Team both losing

If we loose this, i'll let lose some expletifs..

We’ll I didn’t mean to SCREAMER, just to talk about the match not get involved in a “my balls are bigger than yours discussion” so I’ll keep it to that now!! Like I said you’ve a proud history, we both have and lots of fans of other clubs will be taking an interest in our game today which says something about us. There’s no question you’ve signed some quality players and they’re starting to perform for you now which is good. We’ve gone the other way with mainly young players and they also are starting to come good so it should be a cracking match. We really need to win this to make up for your game in hand and that’s what we’ll be coming to do so whilst it might be tight I think there will be chances at both ends and will come down to who takes them. Let’s just hope it’s the players who decide it and not the officials because we’ve also suffered from them this season. Enjoy the game even if you don’t get the points. ??

Maybe MM was impossible to argue/reason with, like Robert Maxwell.

Contract extension for Sam Conners.
 
 

I love this thread, me.

Simpson has taken charge of 16 matches so far this season with the majority of those taking place in the Championship.
He's handed out 74 yellow cards, awarded three penalties and is yet to send anyone off.
I don't like the sound of that last bit - he'll be looking forward to tomorrow to get off the mark for the season!

@B4ev6is must've returned his 40 tickets after finding out about pink day tomorrow.

Very late reply but I had to go to Loughborough on Monday evening. Very strange. Heading North, no snow at the high points at Markfield or Copt Oak, but dropping down to a couple of miles from Loughborough there was about an inch or so,and frozen hard on the pavements, right down to the town centre. Not surprised it was called off really.

Yeah, it's been a bit messy up there too I believe, for several years now.

At the peak of our crisis the lovely EFL decided that when we played some kids for a cup game due to Covid that since they had made an appearance they then would all count as senior pros would be deducted from the very small number of players we were allowed to have. Fortunately they relented but otherwise we'd have struggled to put a team out with an average age that'd get served in a pub.

It's still a bit of a scratch team in many ways and we have no cover in some places and our players are largely young or old (nowt in between) but all things considered we were very happy with the quality of recruitment on free transfers and with an EFL approved wage cap. We are still on embargo and will be for another year after this despite new owners so Warne has very little scope to tinker with the squad. If we sell a player then we're not allowed to reinvest the money as it stands. It was a grim time and absolute oblivion was a close run thing so thankful for what we have and our legend of a new owner who 100% saved the club.

Notts County in the first division ?
