One already exists. It’s called the EFL in which 4 Welsh clubs compete alongside 68 English ones.

Trapped in an antiquated ground with an ageing support QPR, like the Gas and Charlton is a club in slow terminal decline. That’s not to say they won’t beat us tomorrow, but their days in the championship are surely numbered.

My guess at Saturday’s team on the basis that Cam Pring won’t be fit. Max Tanner Zak Dickie Roberts Williams Knight. Twine Sykes. Wells. Cornick

He played the James/Williams contract question with a very straight bat, but gave himself away when asked about Twine, who from the body language will start on Saturday.

Yes, and hardly anybody watches.

To reach 72 points realistically we have to win the next 3 games. Beyond that home games against Swansea, Huddersfield, Rotherham and Blackburn are also must win. That leaves Sunderland and Stoke away as games where we could win. The likelihood of winning all these games is low to say the least. I don’t know what the odds of us getting into the playoffs is, but I would looking for at least 10-1 before I would risk any of my hard earned cash.

Both Ayman Benarous and big Rob have suffered repeated hamstring problems in their recover from ACL injuries. Is this a coincidence? a common problem in the recovery from ACL? or is it a problem unique to BCFC? These are the questions that need answering.

Hamstring according to the BP.

Yes, the way we played in the 2nd half you’d have thought we had played 120 mins against a Premier leagues team less than 3 days ago.

What will determine if Williams stays, or not, will depend on whether like sized clubs (Cardiff, Brum, Swansea) are A) interested in signing him and B) what they are willing to pay him. I would imagine if we match any outside offers then he will stay, if we don’t, he won’t.

You writing off James staying Dave?

God I hate listening to the radio.

Actually oh Nakhi Wells

Against Bournemouth in the JPT on the way to the final in 2000.

It won’t get that far. Sam Bell’s goin score a breakaway goal in the 118th minute. Mark my words.

Playing Forest, Coventry and Leeds in the space of 8 days with our numerically limited squad was always likely to be too much. So it proved.

They were a yard quicker than us in both thought and movement. I don’t think the 72 hour turn around helped.

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah , blah, blah blah. who gives a Foxtrot, Uniform Charlie Foxtrot

Described by Manchester City as a "skilful forward with blistering pace", Mebude is renowned for his goalscoring ability, and was named academy player's player of the year for the 2021–22 season.[

The Gow generation played in the 1970 semi against Spurs. Gerry matched up against a young kid called Graeme Souness. I can’t remember who played in 73, possibly Collier, Mabbut, etc. Hopefully someone out there will have a teamsheet they can share.

At the risk of a whoosh, the Final in 1973, we lost 4-1 to Ipswich on aggregate. We also lost to Spurs in the semis in the late 60s

Max makes fantastic reflex saves, sweeps exceptionally well and will come for crosses when most keepers say at home. However, he has a problem with shots that bounce in front of him, like last night, because he gets caught with his weight on his heels, falling backwards rather than diving forwards to smother the ball, style Clemance and Shilton. He also flaps at inswinging corners, but generally gets away with that.

Fundamentally disagree. The midfield is fine, our problem is the quality of the two wide forwards. I’ve seen enough of Mehmeti to think he won’t make it at this level and Bell is very much a work in progress. A fit Sykes on the right and Tommy and Nakhi interchanging between the centre and left is worth trying and may solve the creative problem.
