  1. Trophy lift 8th May. Cambridge at home. Tommy Wright to start on the left wing?
  2. I went to City Boys. Same class as Alistair Campbell. The Boy Lineaker was 3 years below me and broke my 80 metres hurdles record the year after I left. I never forgave him. We all thought he'd make it as a pro cricketer. Me and a mate used to go to Osbornes after school on a Friday night. Lineker was always in there playing Willie Thorne. Happy days.
  3. Kyle Wootton is a top marauder. Leaves no stone, or defender, unturned. If Stockport don't go up I'd have a go for Challinor, who would probably bring Wootton and Norwood (player coach) with him. We could (and probably will) do worse.
  4. Callum Stead (Barnet) age 26. Vardyesque. Worth a look.
  5. Back in the day the Bushwackers would have run amok after that kind of game. What a nothing (naffin) affair.
  6. Without a doubt, whatever your reaction to the current shit show is, we all love Leicester City. Fact. Let that fact not divide us. However, those of us with an ounce of analytical muscle must recognise we're in a perilous state, undoubtedly much more perilous than the last time we went into administration. Without action, things can only get worse. Much worse. I'm going tonight with my lad, he's now 11 and has followed them since he was 3. Even he understands the situation we're in. BUT, I am torn about what to do about it. I'm not one for booing, never have been, funnily enough. I protested massively when Pleat was manager and eventually that had an impact. But it's much easier to get rid of the manager than it is your comfort blanket (Rudkin). Top seems to be impervious to what fans are saying (sack Rudkin, sell the club etc.) so I doubt very much either of those two things will happen. It will therefore be catastrophe that leverages change, a la Sheffield Wednesday (failure to pay salaries etc.). As a result, we will go into administration, we will drop down to League 2 (and maybe even further) and then hopefully someone will bail us out at that point and we can start to rebuild. It's a rocky road for sure and no one seems to want to fix the pot holes right now. For the record, and to be true to my own way of doing things, I have written to the club to let them have my thoughts. But I won't be booing, although I won't clap them off at the end. All that and 3,500 Millwall fans heading our way. Happy days indeed.
  7. Christian Fuchs with Wasilewski as 'the enforcer'. Marcin hasn't got any coaching quals, but that shouldn't matter. We just need a kick arse kind of guy to keep everyone in line. Kingy coaching, of course. Doubt we can afford more than those three.
  8. Emre Tezgul at Stoke. On loan at Crewe this season. Step up to League One next year with us. A fox in the box finisher. Nathan Lowe, another Stokie, worth a look. Good on loan at Walsall last season and Wycombe this. Centre forward.
  9. Primary emotion is sadness. What we've lost and how we've lost it. Secondary emotion is surely this a wake up call for the club? If Top is staying, he's got to rationalise this, learn from it and take some positive action? If he doesn't then we're doomed to a long stay in the wilderness and may even fail to exist in the medium term.
  10. Now the end is near, and so we face the final curtain My friends, I'll say it clear, it's League One, of that I'm certain We've lived a life that's full of Liverpool, Man U and the Arsenal But now it's time to go to MK, Bromley and Mansfield
  11. No. The McClintock defence was by far and away the worst defence we've ever had. Dave Webb and Steve Sims. Good grief.
  12. Nobody seems to realise that Crewe are in League 2 and aren't going up. So, it'll be Crewe tge seasin after next.
  13. The bottom line is surely this: Turn against the team (whoever's in it) and we likely impact them negatively. We lose and we're on the cusp of dropping into League One. 90% of the squad won't be here next season if we go down. End result: It's the fans that suffer.
  14. Confidence booster. Next 4 games winnable: Preston (H), Wednesday (a), Swansea (H), Pompey (a). May as will give us the 12 pts now 😳
  15. Bromley here we come. Had to laugh at the QPR fans "We're going to Tottenham you're going to Crewe " Crewe are in League Two. We couldn't, could we?
  16. Bristol City: how shit must you be? We kept a clean sheet. Same again Satday, lads.
  17. Breaking news from inside Seagrave this morning" LCFC players say they declare their "respect, devotion and obedience" to Rowatt, and say that squad members are "ready for complete obedience and self-sacrifice in carrying out the divine commands of the Guardian Jurist in our endeavours to remain a Championship club". Have they been listening to the IRCG, I wonder?
  18. Front foot from the off. As bad as we've been, win this and it builds a bit of momentum for QPR.
  19. Disagree. If someone can turn Wrexham into potential Prem, someone else can turn us into world beaters. Brentford, Brighton and Bournemouth are examples of clubs on the brink a while back, and look at them now.
  20. I was there! I'm experiencing PTSD tonight.
  21. He's in a 'one woman' relationship 😁
  22. They finished 5th and lost in the Play Off semis to Charlton. They were top / second until February-ish and their form nosedived which coincided with the loss of Arron Moreley who went back to Bolton. Kone picked up several injuries in the 2nd half of the season and his performance dipped.
  23. Disagree entirely.
  24. We've seen a lot of Richard Kone as we follow Wycombe as our 2nd team. He's good and very promising, but IMO not ready for the Championship just yet (last season was his first full season in the League). He needs another full year at League One level to improve on fitness and all round play. He's quick-ish. but no Vardy pace-wise. It would be a gamble and I'd hate for him to fail.
