Is that his way of saying we’ve a load of new injuries?
If those two incidents had taken place in the PL and VAR had been used, then it would have been a penalty and a sending off.
No such luxury in L2. Although there have been games where it could have worked against us.
I expect Guardiola to tell us Fulham are “a good side, who made things difficult for us” on MOTD tonight.
They all do the public “respect” thing!
REF—9—Very good ref.
???????
He may well be forced to re-think that Alcy!
Killing the geese that lay the golden eggs and all that.
He’d say things would improve once he moved from the side street to the High St!
Keeper is the high risk area.
Howard was excellent against Cambridge, but that back peddling against Salford that allowed their lad to hook in the opener was not what I want to see from a goalie.
And in the meantime of course, we’ll never know if Watson could have improved (probably not).
Don’t get me wrong, I think that bringing in Howard has been a good move, but when you see Gilks still performing well at Bolton, it does make you think.
so too is anyone who thinks that gates will improve without promotion.
National League 2019/2020 Average attendance: Home matches
Notts County 5.210
Stockport County 4.342
Wrexham AFC 4.057National League Record attendance: 11,085, Bristol Rovers v Alfreton 25/4/15
As Deerey says it’s about challenging for promotion.
Attendances soon drop off if you do go up only to find yourself locked in a relegation battle the following season.
If we’re splashing out on a new keeper I think we can do better than Howard.
High(er) earners could be incorporated if we hadn’t signed three non-league hopefuls for every one experienced player.

How many times have we heard complaints from supporters about the style of football we’ve played
Not as many times as they’ve been scolded by you for daring to have an alternative viewpoint.
Just an excuse to reminisce ‘tash.
Resting our best players and forfeiting one game, in the hope of getting something in the next makes no sense whatsoever.
It did when Nige did it a St James’ Park eleven years ago next week. It kept us in The Championship.
But yes, anything other than a win on Saturday will make Cox look foolish.
Could be worse. Could be Liverpool!

We have a record number of injuries, yet still put out a team and a full subs bench despite the players Forever Iron lists (plus McAttee) not even making that bench.
To use all five permitted subs and still not have a single shot on target (at home) just shows how crap the recruitment was last summer.
I really thought Cox was beginning to sort things out, but tonight was a massive step backwards.

Player rotation but still no place for Turan or McAttee!
Even Howe gets on the bench ahead of them.
Did you read your post before pressing “submit”?
They put four past Orient on Saturday. Let’s hope they don’t like travelling!
Three years ago today we were in the middle of a run of 10 games without a win and Graham Alexander had only a fortnight left before he was sacked.
So to go from that to the abject performance against Grimsby in two years was certainly some achievement.
Unfortunately that will be what fans remember once the gates reopen.
Cox and the players seem to have finally started to do their bit, and some canny work in the summer transfer window (particularly in the striking department) may help.
Turning out in a proper football strip would be good, but that doesn’t look likely!
. A point away at Salford is a great result by any means.
A couple of seasons back it wouldn’t have been. Which shows how much work there still is to do to get us back to where we were when Alexander left.
In January I was questioning whether or not Cox was the man to do it, but I’m glad Swann stuck with him. Comments above re: Spence coming in and having a blinder enabling Karacan and Beestin to rest up for Tuesday whilst Gilliead still does a job game in, game out. The fact that we are losing one CB a game yet looking a lot better defensively and also have good cover in both FB positions. All this points to Cox beginning to get the team he wants playing the way he wants.
The problem area is still up front. Much of this is down to that bizarre recruitment last summer. We’ve still four forwards floating around in the ether with barely two games to their name.
Cautiously optimistic that Cox & Co. can build on this and get us challenging next season.
BTW Classic bit of Old School homophobia from BS there.
That’s what you get with Kev. We should be used to it by now.
The season we were relegated from L1 he was a waste of space in some games. But as IA says when he’s up for it he’s a legend.
Shame his return has coincided with Loft’s injury. He’s not the only one mind, Hallam looked off the mark too yesterday, and Eisa’s form has dipped dramatically.
Whilst this thread is still pinned can anyone explain how to put pictures into the reply box?
I noticed DSGM posted a picture of that 90s away strip on another thread.
Looks like Glen Quagmire!
Giggity!
Nice Trumpesque post there NI, isn’t a shame people have different views.
So you’d be okay with us turning out looking like we’re wearing crop-tops?
Can you post up the otions for those of us who didn’t see them last time round?
Not sure if this can be done. Once you’d voted on the original survey you couldn’t get back to that last page with all the choices on (well I couldn’t anyway).
Anyone take a screenshot?
Kit #4 is ‘effin shite! It looks like some gash ladies T-shirt from Primark.
Who the hell voted for that? The kids from some Primary School?
I reckon it’s a club conspiracy. That strip has already been chosen and they bunged a couple of other graphics in there to con us all.
Will be the worst shirt in the club’s history if it’s chosen (which it will be!).
As Deerey says, please, please vote for #5 to stop this. Twice if you can get away with it.

Not unusual for a manager who has managed in the PL (albeit briefly) going to a L1 club and having a clause in his contract saying that if a club from a higher division comes knocking he’s allowed to speak to them.
I’m guessing Moore had something along those lines in his contract.
Were you watching Northumbiron? It was Kev who scored. Nearly 20 mins after he got subbed off.
And ten minutes after he shaved his beard off and changed his shirt number from 10 to 22?
BEEDTIN—-5—-Not involved in much tonight, abcent for long spells.
GREEN—4—Did very little, never got involved, why select him???One goal (Beestin), one assist (Green), three points.
Probably why they were selected.
Aye! Good hiding on the cards tonight.
