Re: MATCHWATCH : Leyton Orient (a)

Would like to see 4-2-3-1 personally. Two deep lying DMs giving the defense extra support when needed and the three AMs giving width and attacking support to the lone striker. Both Ballard and Kelvin E seem to have the pace and strength to play the lone forward role, plus i think an attacking midfie...

Re: another, another, yes another - you heard me right, another embargo 2023 for late PAYE payments

I'm hoping a takeover will be completed as let's face it, we are an attractive club with plenty of history and with the right reset we have bags of potential. However, saying we don't get a buyer straight away, if we can survive until let's say the end of December, could we possibly sell some of our...

Re: Royals tv refund email?

Did anyone else receive a supposedly spurious email from Royals TV saying they’d refund the cost of the season pass? Didn’t ask for one and despite the email my account hasn’t changed, just wondering if anyone else received similar. Yes, received one this morning. Just replied asking why i've been ...

Re: The Academy/Development squads watch thread 2015//16

Hound Craig and Rushesha off after 65m

Interesting sub


Might be on the bench for tomorrow? However, i would have thought the first team will probably already be on their way up there already?

Re: MATCHWATCH : Blackpool (a)

Definitely a very winnable game Weird mix of our low expectations based on away league form but high expectations based on the Bolton win and the 9-0 Serious headache for Selles picking this one but think it’ll be roughly the Bolton team with a few changes. Wing and smith definitely out? Button Yia...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Exeter City (a)

You can only beat what's put in front of you!! Both teams were very young, however, our youngsters have been provided with the opportunity of first team football this season due to our circumstances. Saying that, the way that we played and the style that we played with and also the fact that even at...

So if this is just extra funding does it come under the same scrutiny by the EFL and therefor requires their approval? If not and he is only helping pay a few bills which in turn hopefully stops these annoying three point deductions then i guess its not to bad!! If he has anything more to do with t...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Bolton Wanderers (h)

Button - 7 Couple of vital saves, kicking poor, good with his feet, an upgrade on Lumley. Yiadom - 6 Average at best, poor passing in general and not much going forward. Bindon - 6 Looked shaky at first and at fault for their goal, but grew into the game. Abbey - 6 The defence looked shaky whenever ...

Re: Relegation

SouthDownsRoyal Relegation to L1 seems not to have been the great reset some had thought it would be :lol:


The reset so far has been pretty good in general. Bowen and Co have done a good job under tough circumstances its just the clown at the top who is ruining everything!!

Re: Northampton (A)

We've sold around 530 tickets so far. I expect that to increase a bit the closer we get to the game (perhaps 1,000+; as with Cambridge). Where do you get your info from Clyde 1998, just out of interest? That's a good question. The short answer is the seat map on the club's ticketing website. The lo...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Exeter City (a)

I'm still a little unsure about the 4-2-2-2 formation employed today, however, maybe we're using this formation due to Smith being out injured. I think we lost the battle in midfield in the first half and when Ben Elliot came on we looked much better and i really would look at getting him starting m...

Whenever a team is just not in the game despite the opposition being nothing it has to come down to the manage. Selles got today wrong. I mean, this is what I'm expecting from a manager with no relevant experience, but I do obvs hope he proves me wrong. OK for all us divs who weren't actually at th...

Re: BFTG Stevenage

I'm just loving the general direction of travel of the club. It seems like almost for decades now we've been recruiting established pro's for biggish fees on largish wages, who have flaws in their game, or are injury-prone, and someone at the club has at last clicked on that this approach has not w...
