Yeh but he's brilliant at waving his arms!

I see from the club website that tickets are sold out for Friday's game. Is it worth me turning up and trying to pay on the gate (I'm only coming from Liverpool) or is it not worth it. I presume I can get in at the home end, given they only have circa 50 fans, but I don't fancy that. Sensible advice...

For somebody who isn't even 6ft he wins a ridiculous number of headers.

Toss up for MoM between Clay and Idris. Aside from one snapshot at the end of the first half and us switching off at the beginning of the second our CBs bossed their attack all game. Wish that Moncur had Idris's mobility and flair. Agree that it might be time to start with Drinan. Now know what was ...

Our worst performance of the season, mainly down to fielding a midfield that had no bite which meant we didn't turn up until the 75th minute. I thought Wellens was trying to be too clever last week starting two CB's who'd not played alongside each other before and he goes and does the same this week...

Oh alright My first trip to Spotland and it was fun! Vigouroux - 7 - didn't have anything to do aside from giving away and saving a penalty at the end James - 7 - was always a threat down the right and wasn't used enough despite being in acres of space Beckles - 7 - rock solid despite that stupid he...

Kelman, Smyth, Archibald and Moncur have the potential to rip apart a defence but more often than not it isn't coming off at the moment. I can see into Wellens brain (a scary place) and knew what he would say in his interview. When everything clicks we are going to be awesome.

The Roosevelt Island Tramway is a hidden treasure. Costs the same as a subway ride and if you avoid the rush hour you get a magnificent view all to yourself.

Tight game. One bit of skill from the main man did them. They never really threatened. Vigouroux. 7. Had a good game. Commanded his area well. Couple of solid punches and catches. James. 7. Another cracker. Mostly neat and tidy. Didn’t get forward much. Beccles. 8. MOM. Dealt with everything. Happe...

I hope not . Wood is still a good left back . I'd rather it was one of Coleman, Brown or Sweeney that was leaving . Wouldn’t put Sweeney in that grouping. Will be very much involved this season - great through ball played to Archibald btw. Managers seem to rate Sweeney; they think there's a good fo...

They're only earning £200,000 pa :lol: "The median income for junior criminal barristers inside the first three years of practice is £12,200. For a seventy hour week. After they have paid tens of thousands of pounds to qualify." https://thesecretbarrister.com/2022/06/27/the-criminal-bar-o...

Definitely missed James. 4 goals and 4 assists in 21 games at RB. The video doesn't do justice to one of his assists which included a brilliant cross-field pass from Ogie which he chested down, took it in his stride and handed it on a plate to Drinan.

Pretty much agree apart from: Thompson, would definitely offer a contract, Green for me. Been solid under Wellens so far and is proven at this level as well as higher up the leagues. Mitchell, Would also grade green but would suggest it’s pretty unlikely we get him again, heard murmurings Millwall ...

All in the eye of the beholder methinks. Thought Hector played well (including his assist for our second) and was always moving the ball forward. Only came off because he was one tackle away from a second booking (so much for being lightweight). Beckles distribution was awful and Archibald should no...

Vigs 7. Same as usual, one great save, no chance with the goal, good distribution, nowt else to do. Thompson 6. Not a RB, done ok. Mitchell 6. Switched off for the goal, docked a point for that. Beckles 6. Missed a sitter before they scored, gave away a silly free kick for their goal, otherwise muc...

Strange goings on with Wood. He signed a two year contract and doesn't look as though he will be here next season despite, in my opinion, having not put in a bad performance to date.

Is he still LOFTS representative ? Surely they need to talk to him He is indeed still a board member of LOFT, as am I. We've discussed little else since Saturday evening, both with and without him as appropriate (obviously he's recused from any LOFT response/actions in this matter). As such, I've j...

Have we any updates from the player over this ?

Other than the scurrilous claim below, Mr C Andrews has yet to respond.

Story of O wrote: ↑Sat Feb 05, 2022 10:03 pm I sit a few rows back and Matt was definitely giving abuse to their bench, what words he used was hard to tell. All I will say is when the police were talking to him, a black lady seemed to be speaking in his defence.

May I ask what the lady's colour has to do with this?

Thought that was a real sh!t show and for the first time have my doubts that KJ can get us out of this division. The tactical change not long after we went behind was bizarre and smacked of the things Davis used to get up to in our NL season. For the majority of the game we had a combination of play...

The disappointing thing was that their keeper looked ropey all night when leaving his line. It was a pity we didn't get enough crosses in to test him. I also don't recall any of our corners beating the first man.

So what is it? One says Kahn was uncomfortable all night, 4.5,and the other says 7.5,man of the match! 😁 We played a flat back four and Khan was getting crosses in, something Archibald struggled to do all night. When they overloaded us on their left it was always Khan's pace and composure that got ...

Even though we played well tonight we currently look like a mid-table L2 side, which of course is what we are. Couldn't see us scoring until Pratley's well taken goal and when Adams went with five strikers we were panicking, so there was an inevitability about the equaliser even if it was a deflecti...
