Gave a great account of themselves. Werd always going to run out of steam at the end given the gulf in intensity both will be used to. Really hope to see some of them given a shot soon, though Yeboah was excellent again. A certain level of irony in 3 muscle injuries hugely damaging our chances….!

Not for the purists so far!

Dickie Conway Conway away at West Ham / Bell winner against Swansea away after we had 4 goals ruled out first half Closely ran third place, any of the below: - Local press having to put community notes correcting c.three separate points our technical director made to local radio when trying to put a positive spin on things - our chairman saying he can’t go into behind the scenes reasons for binning off the most senior medical person at the club, then detailing international break training schedules minutes later - Highly self thought of Twitter “ITKers” deleting their accounts after saying local press were ‘very poor these days’ are ‘in the mud’ and ‘had no sources anymore’ for dismissing Lampard - Adam Murphy having a c.5 month long mini pre season, involving no games - Southampton at home (sorry) - first 35 mins vs Plymouth at home (still the most enjoyable snippet of a game of the season, although sorry it doesn’t count because they made changes to their previous starting 11) - The quality of stake pasties vs last season. Superb. (This one probably takes it)

And their director of football put in charge for rest of season!!

Think it’s pretty clear he’s nowhere near the level they were expecting him to be. Said in another thread, would be surprised to see him get another minute for us. All in all a very odd one, especially considering the ‘visa issues’ fibbing from the club. Feel a bit sorry for him tbh.

Absolutely have to aim to win & play well every game we’re in, no matter what stage of the season. Still very much after seeing consistency & bettering last season, so I don’t think we can rest on our laurels at all. If we can do whilst still blooding Knight-Lebel and maybe Meerholz and some others, great, But we’ve seen nothing to suggest that’s gonna happen so far. I’d wager we’ll probably not see another minute out of Medube too. Would normally be pretty pissed off with that, but things have been that bad that I think he really cant afford to twist too much & he’s not an idiot, so I think he’s well aware of that as well. With the run of fixtures we have, we really couldn’t have asked for a better end of the season in terms of trying to really show what we’re about and build some excitement into next season.

Amen!!

Would be surprised if that meant we didn’t get another manager sacked tonight too!

Mebude signing looks stranger and stranger by the day

An OG from Rovers’ “best ever CB” apparently

Delicious 1-0 win for clevedon against Bridgy.

We find out more about Manning & Co today than we did from Friday, imo.

Wrong thread!

…or when your place of choice for informal ‘sell-in’ chats is Aqua Portishead

No ones said anything about it being driven the medical staff. But, if the story is that he initially failed a medical in the summer, we’ve now signed him in the January under a new medical team, and he’s now having real trouble with constant tendinitis ever since he joined, that is causing him to not being able to train properly, nor be anywhere near in contention for the u21s let alone the first team. It’s not a good look. Couple that with: Tinnion - ‘he’s fine, but going through a mini pre season’ ‘he was the best player in Ireland’ Manning - ‘he’s picked up a little knock’ He’s now clearly not even training. Then add in the fact by the time next season rolls around, he won’t have played a game in the best part of 10 months, and will be a standard light years ahead of where he’s come from. That’s assuming he’s even good enough to be considered for the first team. It’s really terrible optics all round, but pretty consistent with everything coming out of the club, let’s be honest.

This deserved more. Superb stuff.

And players executed the game plan!

Have to back it up on Monday. Please!!

Wowza

Absolute hospital pass by Max that

Must’ve missed the idea that loads of POTD people in the dolman and lansdson buy a ticket and don’t turn up!

Just stuck it on. Are we seriously saying this is a sell out? Empty seats everywhere!

Scored, Took 4 good corners that was all. At least we got a good win and performance overall against them, all down to him. Oh ****, we didn’t even win did we!!

Stifling Pring & not allowing him to bomb forward is an enormous waste of his strongest attributes imo
