    Some really bizarre times. But someone tell me how Campbell keeps getting a start? He literally adds nothing.
    You can’t say things like that. Apparently.
  • One aim this season. 21st or above. Job done.

    I can't wait for the post match phone call from my Dad complaining about how I persuaded him to buy a Now TV month pass.

    Not starting tanto is criminal 
    He looked like a competition winner when he came on on Saturday
  • I know quite a number of our players aren't performing and have their heads down at the moment but I really think it's more the opposition working us out a bit. I'm not football tactician but it could very well be the case. Which means NJ needs to change it a touch, it doesn't have to be a dramatic change to counter this. 
  • Damn the tv feed is back on lol 😂

    Yeah we really caught them at the wrong time. Rampant.

    Let’s hope Bell is this seasons Lloyd Jones. Expect us to be better when he’s back.

    Thing is, when Tanto's started he's really not pulled up any trees. 
    Exactly, he would have had starts if he had.

    Maybe someone could find the off switch and we could all have an early night...😉

    I think the injuries are a much bigger element to all this than we’re willing to admit
  • Players are back out... the COMEBACK STARTS RIGHT HERE... RIGHT NOW!!

    What's frustrating is Sorba Thomas should have been ours.

    Not really his style but I think Jones needs to be calm with them at half time. Saturday was a bizarre disaster and it's clearly hanging over this team still. Something like this always happens, a team carries momentum up to the new division and then something happens, be it injuries, a key player leaving, a falling out etc or if you're lucky just the season ending, and then things revert back to the mean. The reality is that we've got a side out where there's no recognised left back, we have a centre half who just isn't really cut out for this level, and the striker we brought in to press and harry is out which means a style change in attack. The Saints game came at the worst possible time and now there's a hangover when we play another former Jones team who are in their best form in years and years. This second half has to be about the players losing the jitters. Jones, Gillesphey and Ramsay need to stop looking terrified any time the ball gets near them because that's clearly passed on to the keeper as well. We need to pull back on the high press because Coventry is getting overrun on the counter and just slow down and try and build something up. If we can get through this playing with a bit of calm and dignity and try and get Bell back for next game then I think we'll be ok, but if these players come back out as shellshocked as they ended the half then it'll be a long, long night and I'll fear for Saturday.
    Being generous. These game and Saturdays coming up, highlight the lack of quality in the squad. They most definitely have been punching above their weight.

    You know how it works though, he wouldn’t have worked out with us

    Oh… come on isn’t great to be shit again. Back in familiar Territory, we have Charltonised the entire squad in 3 games…… An achievement even by our Standards……

    Kaminski launches it forward, ref ignores a shove in the back, and it's out for a Stoke throw

    Especially up front on his own against Wrexham.

    I wouldn’t be as worried about losing these games against these better sides if it wasn’t for the volume and manner of these goals.

    Need to show some resilience and get back to keeping it tight. Multiple players are just not up to task.

    Stoke player loses the ball, catches Carey in the face and we have a free kick just inside their half.
  • There you are ten seconds into the second half and a blatant shove in the back in front of the lino completely ignored

    Stoke fans shouting 'SHOOT' every time Sorba Thomas gets the ball. Bunch of idiots, they should be shouting 'CROSS'
