Re: Bowen's Tenure

This run of 9 games should not be used to judge any manager in a positive or negative light. Too many factors involved and just not a realistic barometer unless you think we'll always finish seasons in July when we had nothing to play for and a number of players involved on effectively a 1 month co...

Re: Back from I Follow Luton

Simon's Church Luton were terrible but they drew with Leeds during the week and beat Swansea so we must have done something right


Exactly. Let’s give ourselves some credit. The looked like they could create chances, then we put them to the sword with 2 quick goals and they crumbled.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Brentford (h) sponsored by end of season apathy

I want to be measured and reasonable after getting beaten by a good team who are third in the league. But FFS, we didn't even make it hard for them. We didn't make them prove why they're up there. I'm sick of supporting a team who are easy to play against. I'm sick of supporting a club defined by m...

Re: Speculation Nigel Adkins new DOF?

Absolutely. Top guy. +4. He was shafted, just like Brian 2.0 Agreed apart from McDoughnut 2.0. Now he is a manager that got massively found out with no plan B. ‘McDoughnut’ :roll: It still puzzles me that people can be so disrespectful towards a manager who (a) is one of only two men to take us to ...

Re: Station Bus

On a serious note, why not ask the driver/his controller when the bus arrives at the ground? Because I'm booking my train in advance so want to be sure that I can get to the station before 5.15pm. If I ask the driver on the day it transpires I've got no chance of making it in time then I'm buggered.

Station Bus

I need to get to the station pretty promptly after Saturday's game. What time does the first bus usually leave from alongside B&Q?

Cheers.

Re: Brian: The right decision?

By all means disagree with the opinions of others on this board. By all means back our current manager. By all means point to the fact that a manager we sacked and you vehemently supported is now managing Liverpool. But revelling in McD struggling? That makes Royalee nothing other than a massive, ma...

Re: Back from the game ..... charlton

Contrary to most I actually think Church was one of their better players. Stretched our defence with his runs/movement and showed plenty of running, yes he wasn't great for us and his finishing definitely needs some work but he has scored six in all comps this season for Charlton (one more than pav...

Re: Brian: The right decision?

I just don`t give a shit any more, just saying FFS will this argument EVER end? You know, if there's one thing I've learnt from Hob Nob, it's never ignore a pooh-pooh. McDermott has been pooh-poohed and many have made the mistake of ignoring the pooh-pooh. They pooh-poohed it. Fatal error! Because ...

Re: Wayne Bridge pedigree

He's excellent just as I expected he would be - better than Shorey 2005-7 by quite a stretch which says it all. So after 12 games you've seen enough to declare that's he's significantly better than a left back who played in a team that won the league with 106 points and went on to finish 8th in the...

3 points papers over the cracks again. Better performance but far from good enough. Guthrie outstanding in midfield, but Akpan and Williams dire alongside him. Both easily pushed off the ball, the same with Williams at the weekend also. For a big man he's far too easily pushed off the ball. One str...

Take the money and run - we've got McCleary and Robson-Kanu who fit Adkins' style of play much better and we can bring someone better in for less if need be. Could you explain how McCleary and Robson-Kanu fit Adkins' style better? I'm not saying that you're wrong, I just don't understand the point....

Re: Build, Evolve, Succeed.

I'm inclined to agree with the OP. I won't be getting overly upset about it, but it does make me cringe. It's all part of the rubbish that the Official Site Propaganda machine tries to feed us. My favourite example recently was the interview with SJM (published in the Chronicle I believe). They left...
