Port Said Red

What about driving to Lechlade and taking a canal boat up the Thames to Marlow and catching the bus from there?

Doesn't mean they like it and they get regular breaks for hydration.

I do agree, my point was that people seemed to think that playing with Martin makes us one-dimensional and a long ball team, but I see a lot of variety in our attacks, especially with WSM. I think the only issue I have at the moment is that without the strength and central direct running of Semenyo, we only seem to have two outlets, Martin or the wingbacks, both of which I think Sunderland eventually negated. I might be wrong, but I don't think Martin won a ball cleanly until just before halftime and even then it was out toward the Dolman touchline. That left us with the wingbacks, which they then started to target more effectively. Funnily enough it was my wife, who has little interest really and is easily distracted, who pointed out that Alex Neill was a) outside his technical area (much to her annoyance) and b) was "flapping his arms like a nutter" . As the 3nd half unfolded I think it became clear what that was indicating to the team. The Riley and Neville partnership which you mentioned was a great example of how movement can compensate for size, one of the few times I have ever agreed with Bobby Gould was when he said in commentary once, that they were like beggars living on scraps, and made a meal of every single morsel that came their way

Reminds me of the Tottenham fan who rang into Danny Bakers show. He said the two seats next to him were empty for the 1st half of the season, which was surprising as it was a sold out section. The first time there was anybody in the seats was the Boxing day weekend game. It seems there little old granny had been generous enough to by them season tickets for Xmas, but was unaware they would have benefitted from them in August.

Is it a big enough draw? I notice they are showing it at the Albion pub in Portishead if that helps.

At least the England players will be acclimated for the Qatar WC, I suppose. Antoine would have been too if he had a chance to play.

A draw you say? Away from home you say? Excellent.

Looking at the projected temperatures for Saturday, the further North we are the better. I hope the authorities are building in drinks breaks as I do worry that there may be a "heat exhaustion" incident in games in these temperature's.

Preston to Wigan 35 minutes Burnley to Wigan 50 minutes Bristol to Wigan 3 hours We are are always going to suffer in comparison to the North West teams.

I think that with the form he is in the coaches should let him do what he feels is right, he seems to be in the zone as they say. The only cavaet being that his team mates need to be in tune with him. I was more interested in how we played without Martin, a lot of people on here on Saturday saying that without him we had no outlet ball/target, so how did we manage yesterday? I'd like to think that we kept the ball on the deck and played through midfield like other teams that don't play with a target man.

An even better win for Glos today, just goes to show what a bit of confidence does for you.

I am not sure if it's relevant but there are quite a few around my garden this summer.

I am not prepared to accept that we have won until Bristol Boy confirms that we did it the right way.

And another game passes without a penalty......

Remember this one? https://youtu.be/wIcHlkMGUH4

Imagine the crowd down the gate after the fourth or fifth backwards/sideways pass...

You only have to look at which posters are talking up a non-existent grudge and questioning the Managers approach. @brad blitis closest from what I've heard to what the situation is. I also think that issue with playing 90 minutes is a red herring, especially with the extra subs now, I don't think we will expect any of our wingbacks to be playing the whole game if there are suitable replacements, I don't think it's possible for more than a handful of players in all football to play that role effectively all the time.

Hi @22A Thanks for the update, did you mean to put Slimbridge in bold or is Flackwell Heath near your home?

I know, Crawley Town eh?

It looks from what I can see that James Taylor was involved in Cheltenhams crushing 0 -7 home defeat to Exeter tonight. Subbed in the 2nd half when the score was already 0-6.

Seb Palmer-Houlden is a busy boy. He was on from the 54th minute for Chippenham on Saturday, then notched two for the U21s today.

It depends, how many point will we be deducted V how many point having those two in our team will bring us. That's an equation that rarely gets mentioned.
