    Does seem strange that player movement is regulated by “windows” but management isn’t.

    I get Alcy’s point re: due notice, it does seem a tad unfair on the club.

    You’ll notice I went for the original, not the Bananarama version!

    where is Howe, I had forgot about him, also where is McAtee and Hippolyte.

    And Dunwald-Turan!

    Clarke has had several very poor games this year but that one tops them all for me – positional, passing, pace, all so far off it.
    Rowe is by far the better footballer currently.

    So where’s this Teddy Howe character?

    3 RBs on the books so no excuse really.

    Apparently there’s a goodie from Lee Mason in the Baggies v Brighton game.

    Lineup certainly says let’s go for it.

    Decent bench too. Funny how McAttee seems to have disappeared off the radar.

    This used to be common in the Italian League years ago, then it spread into our Premier League due to so many foreigb players coming here

    Hmm!

    The PL refs still get it wrong when they have VAR to consult. No chance in L2!

    When did you last see an indirect free-kick given?

    I had to think about it, anyway you ought to have a new one NI, have a go your old one would be saved.

    There you go Mick!

    A real ale font, just to annoy Two Wrights!

    I-A. I used my username and password as on Bru and no problem. Have you tried your email address instead of username?

    Only two draws for us all season. Got a feeling this could be number 3!

    End of April at earliest from what I read. Probably mid May even.

    Maybe they’ll try limited attendance for stuff like the playoffs.

    Not too worried after a three week layoff. I expected worse.

    Get Kev firing again and we should do better. Next two games will be tougher than today’s though.

    Clarke starting with Jai Rowe on the bench.

    Didn’t we bring in another RB, or am I imagining it?

    Seemed an odd signing at the time and even odder today.

    I remember a RL game where Robbie Paul was wittering on. In a break in play the ref called him over and you could hear…

    “Do you know the rules of Rugby League Robbie?” “Yeah!” “Do you think I know the rules of Rugby League?” “Course you do.”

    “Good! We both know the rules, so you can stop following me around quoting them!”

    Brilliant!

    Well if he doesn’t want to work with a 23 year old I can’t see him back here!

    Well that whiled away a good few minutes!

    I thought Kit 1 was gash! 5 & 2 for me. Anything with fuzzy stripes looks horrible as does camo style blotches.

    Straw-clutching for six points?

    It’ll be replayed. The question is do our original predictions still stand or do we enter new ones as and when?

    For example: once I knew Saturday’s five were all postponed I didn’t bother filling out the predictions page.

    Maybe it’s because they’re so good, particularly at present, that they’re almost completely flawless

    They’re shit at taking penalties mind!

    Would it cause a problem if the season extended into June?

    Not like any of our squad are Internationals!

    Shouldn’t the salary cap be on individual players rather than the squad?

    Not sure what he’s basing that on? Don’t see what more we could have done?

    We got the pitch into a perfectly playable state and then the snow started again heavily. Is that “poor pitch management”?

    He was on a wind-up.

    I’d have done the same!

    He also said the white strip was their camouflage kit!

    Gets rid of the ridiculous £2.5m/£1.5m discrepancy between Leagues 1 & 2.

    Hopefully something a bit more sensible will replace it.

    I feel a Fansy/Alcy style “told you so” coming on!

    Should never have gone ahead. Bradford must be well pissed off having traveled when they didn’t need to. Any groundsman worth his salt would have realised that as soon as the covers came off and it got dark the pitch would start to freeze up, snow storm or no snow storm.

    My Bantam mate just texted me to they should get all three points as a default because of our poor pitch management!

    The good news is no additional injuries, which was more than likely. The bad news is Bolton are winning!
