But even pre injury he was only a fringe player in a Lge 2 team.

On the contrary, I think the manager very much rates and values The “good Alex”, why else would he have consistently selected him ahead of the alternatives for so long and stuck by him for a substantial part of his calamitous collapse in form. When the manager eventually did take action the...

WE ARE MATHEMATICALLY SAFE! Teams below us playing each other means they can’t both win

Yep. Cheick and Aimo central, Niskanen and Purrington fullbacks. Defended well.

Disagree with that. He was doing really well in "the GC system" but then mysteriously stopped doing really well and became a liability. Don't really know why, but have seen no evidence to suggest that "attitude" is the cause. Usually where that is the case it is plain for all to see!

And look how going with the 52% turned out! Democracy can be dangerous in the hands of the masses.

Any news about Pierce since the weekend? The manner in which he went down, along with the treatment he received ( as well as his performance) suggested illness rather than injury to me.

In a nutshell! And maybe instead of all the talk about how “bad” we were in the first half we should be trumpeting how well we played to keep them to one and no other proper threats. “Going for it” from the start , as so many seem to want, would probably have seen us overwhelmed in the first...

Couple Gasheads I know are more interested in replacing Javani rather than people joining him.

Pretty sure that’s what Jack Leach has to manage as well.

Also think Dion didn’t want to risk the Lino flagging him for offside. The fact that he wasn’t offside doesn’t mean some Lino wouldn’t flag it. Great awareness.

I imagine yesterday afternoon his price was ticking over like a taxi meter.

That, and the reemergence of Cheik D as a rock at the back have been huge factors. Maybe just coincidence but his brief spell up front appears to have worked wonders! Perhaps this confidence was boosted by the thought that the manager put faith in him? Could have been a master stroke that was...

There aren’t going to be many options out there in January and anyone who can command a sizeable fee will have many better options than us. Our only option is likely to be a punt on someone lacking options- someone not getting game time elsewhere, maybe a youngster about to be dumped by his...

And then relegated to the Peninsula league for financial improprieties.

Last time there was a consideration for ground sharing there were 2 stumbling blocks which blew any prospect away (apart from the obvious nostalgia for SJP) a) other clubs that groundshared with rugby suffered serious pitch quality problems and b) Chiefs were in a strong financial position...

Yep, good point.

I know the game is very different now, but I do find the level of injury in professional sport strange. Back in the 70’s we had (I think) a squad of 15 and only rarely had to use a St Luke’s College player to field a team, and didn’t Aston Villa win the league using just 13 players? As I say...

Didn’t really clock it yesterday, but an almond bizarre lack of celebration for our goal. Not sure what it says, but I’m sure there is something to be read into it!

Derby away is likely to be a tough ask no matter who we put out so maybe we should be targeting the Lincoln game for our strongest available team - what that is of course is anyone’s guess. Couple things about yesterday 17 corners and I don’t think we made first contact on a single one They...
