  1. Poor defending on that corner but superb header from Knight
  2. Nothing in this game to give me hope for next season so far. Long way to go
  3. I’ve never really understood the questioning of whether x, y or z player gets into a top team. They are all good players but a good team is greater than the sum of its parts. Liam has to get us a playing style that suits what we have. Freshen up the squad yes, but we don’t really need to start again.
  4. Nigel gave opportunities to Scott and Conway. They weren’t inherited readymade. Some players you missed. Holden’s last staring 11 included Mariappa, Moore and Lansbury.
  5. I think the point made is that JL and Tinnion suggested that the new head coach wouldn’t need time to get us competing. Nigel had a much bigger job to do and needed that time. The issue is ultimately with the ones running the club. It’s too late to do anything this season so we have to allow Liam to get on with it.
  6. So we’ve gone from 1 in 8 years to about 5 since..pretty standard and average I guess. Would love a proper set piece expert though. Not sure how many he scored but loved watching a Micky Bell free kick.
  7. That defeat was nothing to do with Mr Pearson. No matter what you, or anyone who agrees with you, believe.
  8. I get that Manning has been instructed to get as many points as possible, presumably, so he’d be less inclined to blood youngsters. Mr Pearson deserves a lot more credit than you give him though. He gave opportunities to young players when he didn’t have to..and kept us competitive. I believe it’s been pointed out before that Manning doesn’t have a great record at MK Dons or Oxford for bringing academy players through.
  9. He seemed to have an issue with Dykes who, to my knowledge, has more goals at this level than Thorpe.
  10. Can’t agree. We’ve seen this kind of performance, or lack of, far too often.
  11. If we’re going to be one of the top teams in this division then we’re going to have to get used to beating teams who put men behind the ball. We simply can’t do it though.
  12. We won’t be celebrating that in 50 years time. Appalling
  13. It’s been one of the worst but there’s been some serious competition
  14. This is becoming quite the regular occurrence. From the sublime to the ridiculous.
  15. As if the football wasn’t bad enough, Tony Thorpe is making this unbearable
  16. We’re a counter attacking team. The second half is going to be painful
  17. I was thinking Bird and another in the summer. I can really see none of James, King or Williams being here.
  18. I just think that those who are running things at this club don’t see how good Matty is. He doesn’t fit their profile so my hunch is there won’t be a new contract on offer. We’ll look to sign a younger player instead imo.
  19. Don’t want to get told off for being positive about Max again but he’s perfectly good enough for us. Certainly not a priority for recruitment.
  20. We’re definitely a counter-attacking team, at present, which is why we’ve generally played so well against the bigger teams. QPR is likely to be a different test and we’ll probably have more of the ball. If we can also play well with a possession based game then we’ll have a fantastic team and shot at promotion.
