  21st January 1905, Bristol City 2 Chesterfield Town 1

Max has made three mistakes this season which have cost us.  Early on, after replacing Bents, he come charging off his line and missed a punch when we were already losing.

He let a shot in against Preston when we were 2-0 up.  We won 2-1.

And today he let a shot in when we were already losing.

None of his mistakes have directly cost us points.

He recently signed a long term contract, so the club clearly believes in him

Do we need another championship standard keeper to challenge Max.  Absolutely.

Should we throw him under the bus because of today? I think not.

Eric McMordie.  The dirty b*stard who broke Gerry Sharpe’s leg.

There’s always the option of the Met line from Baker St (circle line from Paddo) which has trains to Watford.

Clubs in the bag Graham? We don't seem to have any physical strikers. I'm not saying we should or shouldn't spend money on another striker type, just chewing the fat.

Choice of Bell and Mehmeti on the left, Andi and Sykes on the right, Nakhi, Tommy or Cornick thru the middle.  Can’t see us signing a “target man” striker, particularly with Palmer Houlden on the horizon as a potential first team addition.

I think strengthening priorities will be at the back, in midfield and in goal, not up front.

Should really read the thread but hoping some nice poster will tell me. Does anyone know how long Scott is out for?

Nige pre Stoke said he was making good progress.  However, if there really is a serious offer on the table, I can’t see the club taking the risk playing him, in what for us, is a series of meaningless games.

“Naismith looked absolutely miles off it and not ready”

I thought he looked class.

Pring. 

Zak.  Fast asleep.  Fails to cut out the cross ball.

Pring was caught afield and agreed doesn’t track back quick enough, but Zak’s was in position and fails to react.

Zak giving it big zzzzzs

King’s made a big difference 

Ffs Nahki

Another cock of a referee.

Is this the first time Conway and Bell have started a 1st team game together?

Had to read it twice.  It’s not the Gas that’s bought the Fruit Market site, but an investment company they hope will build them a stadium.

Typical Gas wet dream stuff.

Very enjoyable Monday night of entertainment. Name me a more painful club to support than Spurs. Everything goes tits up.

This referee’s a cock BTW

Nice moment between Nige and TC

TC Top Cat

Max throwing the ball instead of kicking it is a huge improvement 

Stone Age football from Reading.

We had a truly dreadful record down there for years.

However in our last 4 league visits we’ve won 2 (in 2003 & 2009) & drawn one.

The dates of those wins though show how infrequently we have played them recently.

 

Competitively we’ve played them 62 times in 102 years.  The gas have played them 109 times over the same period.

Didn’t  same happened to the scum bags away at Wycombe a few years back when they were winning.  A lightening strike? Which according to their pea sized brains was some how Wycombe’s fault

Lost the rearranged game as well if memory serves.

I'm not a fan of Plymouth. With the exception of about 2% of its land mass it's grimmer than a 19th Century fairy tale. 

Also, I hate the way its fans behave on the very occasional times they happen to be in the same division as us. All this "Argyle the Pride of the West Country" shite. 

You aren't even in the West Country. You're the wrong side of the Fosse Way. Get back to West Wales, you green-clad clowns. 

The one good thing I would say about Plymouth is their fans really hate the gas.  And when I say really hate, I mean really hate.

If Bellingham is worth £100M, how much is Saka worth?
