  1. We can’t moan about Scott because Cornick has scored. And we can’t moan about Cornick because errr…………
  2. Showing the goals on SSN, though the presenter did describe the goal as Oxfords and Pearson wouldn’t be happy.
  3. Well I’m glad we got well over 300, we were never likely to chase that down with this line up but we could have easily got out for a hundred odd. Not a huge amount we could have done with Shaw in that mood but I did feel some of the bowlers heads dropped and they served up some rubbish, so that’ll be today’s lesson, keep plugging away and you never know.
  4. Yeah it’s tough on him to keep for 50 overs then ask him to get yet another ton. I’m pretty sure he would prefer to bat first, he’s spent a lot of time in the middle this summer and still only 19.
  5. Well I’ve been out for a bit, come back in and things are looking decent. 10 runs and 3 wickets later, not so good
  6. Yeah I really try and get into the - this is great for the youngsters to get there chance- but it’s just shit and pretty meaningless really. Heads have certainly dropped in the Somerset bowling attack and some of the bowling has been dreadful. So I’m not sure what that’s doing for their development, maybe they’ll learn something from this but I don’t know.
  7. I thought you’d missed a 0 and we’re saying he was 230* not out……..which he’s now passed
  8. True, as far as temporary signings go he’s in a different league to Curtis Campher that’s for sure. But there, I don’t think we were in much danger of winning this competition and a great signing for Northamptonshire who’ve only lost a couples of players.
  9. If you’re a gambler this is exactly what you do, predicting who’ll finish in the top or top 4 if you do each way of every league can be very profitable…..but a gamble it certainly is. I don’t agree with others on here about Plymouth, they’ve made some very good signings and I think they’ll be fine this season. In fact I think all 3 promoted clubs will be fine.
  10. My pre season optimism, 4 days ago, has taken a rapid dive not felt since the Coppell fiasco. The difference is this time I’m confident it’ll climb again soon. Though If we lose tomorrow v Oxford and Pearson walks out it may tumble again
  11. Yes, clearly popular but as someone who doesn’t drink coffee and or have a sweet tooth definitely not my kind of pre match meal.
  12. The queue for the new donut outlet, former tea/coffee outlet in the Lansdown was huge, one of the longest I’ve seen at an outlet. Did anyone here try something from them? And was there anything besides doughnuts?
  13. Saturday I went for a 1-1 draw and I’m tempted to go for the same score tomorrow. But I think we’ll edge through to round 2 with a narrow 2-1 victory.
  14. Disappointed not to get to 300 plus from the position we were in, one or two awful shots. Decent effort though all things considered
  15. No it was a very brief interaction, where I quickly told him I could remember his headed goal from the edge of the box of the Eastend/ South stand against Exeter. I got the feeling it wasn’t a goal that would be top in his memories of the 582 goals, many in the top flight and 2 for England. Even I was questioning if it was v Exeter and was it as far out as I remember. But I do remember he was a shining beacon in what was the darkest days in our history.
  16. Noooo, I definitely corrected it to Harford after it auto corrected and put a t in it. I even googled to double check I was right. Now it turns out it didn’t correct.
  17. Negatives, we could have done without playing a team like Preston first up, it’s always a scrap against them and Millwall which we may have been better prepared for later on. Positives, that’s them out of the way, who’s next?
  18. I know when you plant a new lawn they say don’t cut it too short in the early days. Maybe it’ll improve as time goes by…….or I might be talking nonsense, dunno!
  19. A nice read, It did lack information and stories on our current squad but I’m sure that’ll come. I did enjoy reading about Brian Clark even though he was before my time. Also liked the U21’s and Women’s player profile pictures. All in all I liked it, probably not enough to spend £4 on every game but I’ll certainly get it every now and again.
  20. Perhaps Lansdown was watching and thinking - sod that, Alex Scott is going nowhere just yet!
  21. Wouldn’t have happened under Lee Johnson, he was a stickler for grass height
  22. Shout out to my nearest team, Buckland Athletic who beat Torpoint 5-1. Also to Paulton Rovers. The chap sat next to me on the way up to a Bristol was a ground hopper. He lives on Dartmoor, doesn’t drive but has still managed to visit 480 grounds and today was a new one for him, Paulton Rovers. It was already his 17th game of the season.
