Impressive new statue at Ipswich. We don't seem to do statues eventhough we have numerous candidates. Shame. 

Looks like this was by the fans too.

 

I noticed at Elland Road earlier in the season, when we played them, their statue of Don Revie was from the fans too.

Our club once said they would not put up any possible statue by fans.

Correct pretty sure they said at one of the FCC that any statue would be designed and funded by them and they would not welcome fan donations or designs.

Magennis for Wigan is a smart move, reckon he'll fire them into the top 2.

Been offered a spare for Bradford away at Rochdale tomorrow. 2000 + going. Promised the mrs id build the new shed. Best leave her instructions for the drill.

Plymouth were top 2 a few months ago but they're sliding down the table fast, sitting 7th now. Shame.  Would like to see them become a bigger club. Too many people in Devon support Chelsea and Man Utd.

Unfortunately Rowe leaving looks to be key there.

Was it as bad as it looks from the score line?

I let the lad with the tickets take his brother in the end - I usually get these things wrong and I was expecting it to be a thriller but I had it on this afternoon on and it was awful  I made the right call but it would have been a good day out tbf. 
 

2,500+ Travelling Bradford fans and the football is awful, fans consistently being let down and it is sad to see. Adam’s has had some success so far and results haven’t been horrendous but his style of football is questionable. It seems obvious that teams at that level just need to be got at - they’ve got players like Sutton, Angol, Andy Cook, Theo Robinson, all OK attackers at league 2 level - but they hardly get a sniff because it’s safety first and only play forward is get it wide and lump it in the box. Every. Single. Time. I’d love to see them properly let loose and have a go, they’d be well up the table.

It seems as though he is always being appointed Oldham manager.

6 times now !

If they can see this through, fair play to Forest Green.

Looks impressive.  Be interesting how it will effect their attendances given their current ground is in the heart of town and this is 8 miles away in the middle of nowhere.

 

Plus its seems a little strange that so much focus is put on the 'green' aspect yet all the fans will have to travel further.  They say they want the fans to take the train..lol...with all these out of town grounds fans will drive.  It's funny how a lot of modern stadiums have very little car parking spaces but this 'green' stadium has room for 1700 for a 5000 capacity stadium.

Think out of the lower league teams Forest Green Rovers are one of the most marketable internationally with the green aspect and might be a bit of a cult team, a mini St Pauli if you will.

 

Only thing is they'll probably have a ceiling in terms of how far they can go given its a 5k seater stadium.

6 teams facing each other who will certainly they feel should be much higher in the football pyramid:

 

Bolton v Sunderland 

Sheff Weds v Ipswich 

Pompey v Charlton

Such a tough league this season with Rotherham, Wigan and Wycombe in there too.

 

Sunderland should finish top 6 with ease. Can't see Charlton being anywhere near with the trouble they've had.

Nope - even the new manager bounce with Johnnie Jackson has gone.

 

Top 3/4 look good - Rotherham like the Norwich of the EFL!

 

Wigan have about 4 games in hand .

Andy Cook, goal machine. Alex Bass, young GK who Bradford have signed on loan from Pompey, one to watch he looks a talent.

Bolton 6-0 Sunderland 

Gillingham lose 2-7 at home and give away four penaties 🧐

No surprise the On a Bender/ Sex Offender chant would eventually lead to this.

 

Tiresome.

They have taken a few beatings on the road at teams around them.

Should be but won’t be.
