The game against Peterborough was postponed by us because we had 3 players on International duty. Peterborough had 2 players on International duty. So the game should not have been called of because of a difference of just 1 player!!! The rules should be that there has to difference of 3 players bet...

Piggot for all his faults is far more effective Forward than Perkins.

whittle76

Piggot got a lot of stick last season, but he would improvement on Perkins for sure.

Why not just try two down the middle upfront from the start of a game.
Everyone who has played down the middle on their own has struggled since the start of last season.
The Manager and since Embleton have been obsessed with having wide forwards

RW just will not play two down the middle!
We did for most of the second half and looked crap.

I missed most of the 2nd half, so thanks for the info.

A shame for Obiero that he us now well down the packing order after he started in the first few games.
Unfortunately it is difficult for a young player to make their mark when the Manager brings in experienced players.
Maybe he needs to go on loan?

whittle76

Maybe try playing 2 down the middle forwards instead then we might see an improvement in Perkins.
Nearly every Forward has struggled in recent seasons playing on their own and hardly getting involved in the game.

He will soon be hounded out by Joe public and the likes of the Daily Mail. And they still won't be satisfied and before long like 6 months the next Manager will not do something wrong like not bowing down to Nigel Farage or something else and he will be hounded out as well. Lee Carsley has actually...

So did Southgate and he went on to win, now let me thinkbugger all. The FA will give it to him because he’s cheap and available plus a yes man. I think infact I’m sure he will win, now let me think yep bugger all.
Ok.

Well for fringe players it is either this or behind doors friendlies.
This game is more entertaining that the league games so far.

whittle76

We have called off the Peterborough at home game because we will have one less player to choose from than Peterborough do.
And as stands no home game for 5 weeks.

Why should EFL do anything about compensation, as we have requested the game be postponed.

Lemmings. 2. Ultimately it’s his mistakes that have led us to nil points. Get rid or it will happen again. Nothing about him suggests league one goalkeeper. Sweeney. 6. Did what he needed to do. No real threat going forward. Clare. 6. Just a bog standard lower league journeyman. Is there a signing ...

5 30pm is just about the worst time they could have thought of to start a game.
As it is not a morning afternoon or evening time

whittle76

Clearly he is a good player as he was ever present last season, that is some feat in the modern game when nearly every player misses games through injury
So it is no surprise that he has signed for another 2 years

People suggesting yellow, really? What a godawful colour that is to wear at any time.

Brazil always look good in yellow.
