Anyway ... TBF, only been in the football League 6/7 years. Only just below local rivals Forest Green and only one division below Cheltenham. Don't dis how far they've come since losing at Braintree or at home to Bath in League games. and didn't they take 60,000 to Wembely ( ) . If their Manager doesn't get sent down for something , this could have a good year. Top 10 maybe. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't recall anyone ever saying that refs favour them. I do remember plenty of people pointing out that they "win" plenty of penalties. You make it seem like people are calling them lucky, I see it as people are calling them out as cheats. I put a post up earlier that shows they have consistently "won" more than the league average over a period of six + years. It also matters not that this season, they have had more pens against them, that's probably due to them being a more aggressive team, also shown in the number of sendings off, both of which are considerably greater than in previous years. Perhaps their manager isn't targeting pens and sendings off like previous regimes. There was a time when the whole crowd, players, coaching tea and subs would create mayhem at the most inocuous of tackle, usually resulting in a soft booking, soon to be followed by more outrage and the S/O. Their total of eight this season is still on the high side regardless of what competition they were in and, if like other clubs they hadn't "won" those extra pens, where would they be? They look on course for the average per club this season, in all comps it's about one every fourth game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fordy62 Posted February 16, 2022 Report Share Posted February 16, 2022 I see Darrell Clarke, now manager of Port Vale, is taking a period of leave after a close family bereavement. For all the shit we give him, let’s hope he can find strength. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep & actually saw one on Twitter this week saying they were “doing better” than us this season. Presumably in the same way Forest Green are “doing better” than Stoke City?

Red Army 75 Posted February 24, 2022 Report Share Posted February 24, 2022 There is a great feeling around the place with the fans, and, as the gaffer keeps saying, if the fans get on board this can be a special club. He tells us all the time in the changing rooms about selling out Wembley for the Conference play-off final. "That’s unheard of.

Lanterne Rouge Posted February 24, 2022 Report Share Posted February 24, 2022 I`m convinced that they are the reason for Sunderland`s poor form. The Mackems have looked at the League 2 table and have decided they don`t want promotion as they could get to play their new best friends and second team next season if they stay down.
