    Maths?
    Some of you still don’t see it.

    We all see it thank you.

    What you are trying to say is 6/100 SOUNDS better than 600/100,000. They are of course both the same and not every Ward in the country has a population of 100,000. Our Ward is around 4,000, so I know I have to divide the number quoted by 25. However I can get the actual figure by going on the County Council website. Our Ward has zero cases as of today, yet the per 100k number is 23!

    You intimate that 6/100 is okay but I beg to differ. If the R number is, let’s say, 1.5 then those 6 could infect another 9. Those nine another 14, then….

    Well I’ll leave you to work it out!

    The argument (which shouldn’t of course be an argument) over vaccination has sweet FA to do with party politics. All parties left, right and centre support the development of a vaccine for COVID. So any diatribe about Nazis and Communists belongs with nutters like David Icke and Piers Corbyn.

    If you’ve a laptop you could while away the long winter evenings doing some genealogy. See if you can find out if any of your eighteenth or nineteenth century ancestors died of smallpox. Then ask yourself why no one dies from it now.

    Oh, and BTW, you won’t be forced to get a jab. So don’t worry about turning green and growing a pair of breasts!

    Perfectly good RB on the bench and either Gilliead or Green having to play out of position at RB/RWB when both offer more in attack!

    One up top at home? And that one is Loft!

    Good job we can use five subs!

    Having the same forward line two games in a row might help.

    when you see gangs of people dancing in the streets and holding gatherings to show that they know better than people trying their best to end this bloody killer.

    If the people in charge knew what they were doing you may have a point.

    But when the people in charge are circus clowns who don’t even follow their own advice it’s hardly surprising.

    Never had you down as an anti-vaxxer Alcy! 😂

    Seeing as how he’s been here six years they’re all his signings!

    Another daft comment!

    Notice you didn’t include Vose, Margetts, Lewis, Horsefield, El Mhanni, Dales, Proctor, Ugbo, Miller etc.

    So some clubs will benefit from home support but not others!

    Hardly a level playing field is it?

    Should be everyone or no one IMO.

    A number of posters have expressed the need for an experienced CMF.

    Adkins made Karacan his captain when manager of Reading, hence my question; was he recommended by Nige?

    If he impresses in training then give him a contract until the end of the season. My only concern would be that he’s not played a competitive game for well over a year.

    Cox – best substitutions he’s made this season. Tried to impact positively not just invited pressure with more defenders.

    We only had one defender (Bedeau) on the bench. So that was never going to happen!

    If he keeps picking up a booking every game it won’t be long before he’s sitting one out!

    Would have liked a Matty Lund or Ryan Yates type in there but beggars can’t be choosers.

    Maybe Taylor is up to it given a bit more experience behind him but Beeston and Spence are looking decent at the moment.

    Anything to keep Gilliead and Eisa out wide.

    Move on Hallam?

    He’s one of the few who looks like a footballer.

    Move on mardy-arse McAttee. He thinks he’s too good for League 2 anyway.

    A repeat of last season would be nice!

    Suspect they are stronger this time out though, as they stuffed Man Utd’s U21s this week.

    Manny & McGahey at CB with Brown & Clarke/Rowe FB. Same MF and Loft plus Kev if fit. If not Hallam or McAttee if he can be bothered.

    My only criticism of Cox last night was starting Kev.

    It was clear that he hadn’t recovered fully from Saturday (unsurprisingly) and if he’s got a muscle injury that’s not great news. McAttee or Hallam could have started instead.

    Daft risk IMO.

    With WG & CT on this one. Also I’d like to see Hallam incorporated at some point. Either as attacking CMF or in Kev’s no. 10 role should he be out again.

    Taylor to come back too. As for Vincent I’d get a duo rail ticket back to Bournemouth for him and Cordner.

    So that’ll be another to add to the Vose, Margetts, Lewis, El Mhanni etc list.

    What’s the betting Dales is next.

    A deeply flawed recruitment strategy that goes back long before Cox or even Hurst were appointed.

    Time for Hallam to show what he can do in that role?

    In our predicament I’ll take the three points. Back to back away wins – when did that last happen? Or back to back clean sheets for that matter.

    We haven’t got a reputation for seeing out a 1-0, nor have we a reputation for winning games in hand so a couple of positives to take home from Burslem.

    Negatives are the second half tactics and Kev going off injured. Too much too soon. He should have started on the bench tonight.

    Imagine if Rory Watson had been playing in the sixties.

    Imagine if in his first game Matt Tees had but both him and the ball in the back of the net and the goal had stood.

    Imagine if he had been signed by Liverpool and got top goalkeeping coaching instead of being trained by Jack Brownsword with a fag in his mouth.

    Imagine if we hadn’t sold Barrie Thomas to Newcastle.

    Imagine if George Best had been teetotal and celibate.

    Imagine if Maradonna hadn’t been a smack- head.

    Good game isn’t it?

    KvV got 82 minutes and Jordan 91!

    I reckon they managed bloody well don’t you?

    Whether or not they can recover in time for Tuesday is another matter.

    Great goal + super assist from big Kev. A 90 minute man from hereon in.

    Read that as “from heroin”! Wondered how he got through 80 minutes.

    Lucky white kit? Shame we can’t wear it at PV on Tuesday.
