  1. Can't stand them. That's why their misfortunes of recent years have been so funny.
  2. Yes it was Palace and Cardiff. I remember thinking we'd avoid a relegation battle after those games. How wrong I was. Today's game could be tough. Bolton will be desperate to win to avoid being marooned in the relegation zone. Our players must avoid complacency and maintain the discipline they showed against Wolves. A win would be great but my hunch is it will be a draw.
  3. That was an important win and another clean sheet. Also another bogey team laid to rest. COYR
  4. Glad Agard is being given a chance. Fingers crossed for a good result and performance. This is an unpredictable season so goodness knows what tonight's game will bring. It would be good to beat Wolves for a change.
  5. It must be over 10 years since we have beat them away, so we are due a win there. My first away game was at Cardiff in 1989 when we beat them 3-0. More of the same would be good tonight. COYR
  6. A very welcome three points. I thought we looked really good in the first half. In the second half we sat back too much for my liking, but we still had the best chances to score. Glad for Wilbs that he scored after his poor performance last time but I imagine he'll kick himself for not getting the hat trick. It's good to be off the bottom of the table and now we are unbeaten in three games, so we are starting to put a run together.
  7. I have now just about recovered from the anguish of the MK Dons game and am looking forward to an evening match. Maybe we can get that home win at last. COYR
  8. Yes I heard the callers on the radio talking about the formation as well. Unlike other games where we have been so open and vulnerable to the counter attack I don't think today's performance can be blamed on the formation - just rank bad play.
  9. Well, words almost fail me after that second half. I thought we looked ok in the first half against a very poor looking MK side but after half time the players just seemed to stop. Our inability to keep possession meant the equaliser was always on the cards and playing against a decent side we would have been murdered. At times it was almost as if we were doing anything we could to give the ball away. On top of having a paper-thin squad we now have a team lacking in confidence. SC has a lot of work to do to sort this out.
  10. Fingers crossed for 3 points. It will be a tough game because after their bad run they'll be desperate to avoid defeat. My gut instinct is telling me a draw, but then again I thought we'd beat Reading so who knows.
  11. Looking forward to the game today. Really hoping for three points, but this league is so unpredictable I'm trying to prepare myself for anything happening.
  12. Fantastic result. Glad to hear that Hamer played well - hopefully that will give him confidence. We've got a decent record up at Boro over the last few years.
  13. It was a relief when Flinty got the equaliser but overall it was two points lost against a very average looking Leeds side who were there for the taking. Our vulnerability to counter attacks, missed chances and poor decision making at times are things to work on.
  14. I popped into Sainsbury's in Brislington yesterday on my way home from work. I can report that it was quite busy with no sign of abandoned trolleys filled with shopping. I have a sneaky feeling that the blue few's mass boycott/sabotage might not be gaining any momentum.
