Your comments have been noted.

Cheers, Nige.

By the way Nige I don't mind how you do it but 7 from the next 3 games which are away v Luton, Preston and Blackpool please. Choice is yours but 7 would be triffic, 6 would get us to 12th or 13th so would be fine, so don't worry.

Then we all get down the gate for mid week game v Reading in good spirits.

Best Regards 

Will be a massive boost for us all, all the players especially the ones who have been challenged by us fans in recent times, will lift the club, Nigels win % and we all go in to Feb in the top half and feeling positive.

2 winnable games, difficult but winnable.

Thanks

Weimann has to start. Not including him would be odd and it won’t happen.  Benarous has had one bad game at left wing back so to shoe-horn him in at right wing back isn’t going to do him much good in my opinion.  You want research and development but wouldn’t play Semenyo, but would play Wells.  

Yes agree also

Balance of youth and experience, is all I am saying here.

Key point for me, I like what I see with 3 boys HNM, Bel and Scott

Regarding Semenyo, I would switch Wells, Martin, Weimann, Semenyo in many of the remaining games, starting and coming on.

Nothing wrong with playing in unfamiliar and different positions when developing a team

Edit:

and use Conway and Britton and Towler.

Why ?

Because he is a good player who is growing in confidence and more we can blood this young group now the stronger they will be next yr.

We are not going up and I don't think we will go down although we need 22 points to be absolutely sure, so they need to learn on the job.

If they have a shocker they will remember that feeling and learn, if they have a good game they will learn.

No brainer in my opinion, blood then now as this the future.

We can't afford to buy in plus we have a few in 30s Baker, Wells, Martin, Kalas and Weimann etc so we give this young group experience as often as possible and now.

Then see how they go next year and hopefully the finances will be in better shape as well

It's research and development time

Just now, And Its Smith said:

You would play Benarous wing back after the last time he played there and not start Weimann ?  Minority selection!

yes I would

Start First Half

                   O'Leary 

     Kalas    Atkinson   Pring

Belarous  HNM   James  O'Dowda                         

                  Scott

             Wells     Martin

Change at 60-80 minutes if no goals:

                   O'Leary 

       Kalas    Atkinson   Pring

   Belarous  HNM   James O'Dowda                          

                   Scott                                             

 Weimann    Semenyo

Keep blooding the 3 young boys, Bel, HNM and Scott as they will just get better and better for next season

in last 10 minutes change up or go more defensive with the options on the bench, all 4 can be used in  offensive roles Vyner, JD, Palmer, Conway

I went to college in Weston. Also my dad grew up there. I have happy memories of going to the pier, The Pool (Tropicana), Knightstone, old and new pier (old) and the beach. More recently, walking to Uphill, Kewstoke. 
I’ve always liked WSM, it is what it is, some parts are a bit downtrodden but there are nice bits too. #BringbackDolphinSquare.

Yes its a nice place to live, granted WsM High St is struggling just like every High St in the country but shops is not really my thing, like I said before good food, good beer, walks, cycle ways fresh air, beautiful scenery with woods, beach, parks there is plenty, good rail and road connections, all on a level, so it is hard to beat. Sad to see opinions like this as not true at all but if the comments are based on shops and that's your thing then agree it needs a boost but so do most towns and cities.  Would be surprised we have shoppers on here...

anyway each to its own, I'm now on the seafront  after a walk and about to go for a breakfast, so it puzzles me how many can knock that life.

Wsm is far more then the Street with the amusements and the brummie in the summertime.. haha

I have a question about the tickets. Why does it ask you to print the ticket on A4 when there is a bar code? Usually that would scan from your device. Other than losing your device or running out of battery is there another reason?

No

Ok thanks

I thought the rule was for all non Sat 3pm games would be covered on Robins tv, or is that just for league and not cups?

Is this on Robins TV?

You can half that on figures from yesterday 

Good game for social distancing 

This might have been mentioned before but just noticed the amount of tickets available about 14k.

Given home end holds about 22k,  only 8k sold + away.

Years back used to work with a Trowbridge player.

Watched them first round of the FA cup lost one nil ... They were conference (?) with John Freeguard up top.

Went out with the players in the town with my mate telling players I had played with him.

True five a side.

I was a half decent player.

Hopeless outrageous lie.

Anyway they were top lads.

Order used to be summat like Trowbridge - Chipnumb - Melksham/Frome,

Then Bradford /Devizes /Westbury.

What division they in now?

County prem league I think

Which will be 1 below Western League div 1, counting down from football league would be Division 11

The last few seasons has seen the relegated teams on much lower points than historically. I think this is due to the imbalance of finances, with the top teams able to more easily beat the bottom teams. 
 

2021 - 44 points. 
2020 - 49. 
2019 - 41. 
2018 - 42. 
2017 - 51. 
2016 - 41. 
2015 - 42. 

This season, particularly with Derby’s deduction, I think we’re going to be looking at the low 40’s again. 45 absolute tops. So that’s 6 wins. 

I think 6 wins we will be in a relegation scrap

I was just saying if we get a rate of 8 wins and a draw would just keep us clear from getting dragged in to that, just

Half the season played, same again with another 27 pts will be enough.

I always see 52 as safety so 8 more wins and 1 draw required.

2 wins by end of Jan,

2 in Feb,

2 in March and

2 in April,

plus a draw,

or of course more draws less wins

Hopefully reach 52 sooner but can't see it happening

Likely a lower points total than 52 will be needed but this is the minimum focus to avoid getting dragged in to a late relegation fight.

On flip side, win most matches to end of Jan and will be near top 10.

Think we'll finish around 16th
