Leam overall form in league - played 24 won 12 draw 7 lost 5 (1.79 ppg).
8 games left to go, so keeping the same form gives won 4 draw 2 lost 2, an additional 14 points, for a total of 72.
I could probably argue for 73 but ...
"In nineteen dickety-two Terry "Whitley Bay" Ferris played five games without a left foot. He tied an onion to his shorts. Not a red onion. The Kaiser had stolen them. One of them big white onions. Smoked twenty a day, fittest man in all of Berkshire. He won the argument, but I ...
We're clearly not competitive enough to put together a proper tilt at a title.
But the difference between us now and a play-off spot in a month or two really is a marginal gain. Having more than 7 pros at the start of the summer. Differences in player preparation. Just holding on in any number of ...
Despite the appearance of two points lost, I’ll take that. Rumours of our demise unfounded. Dewey beats Truman.
Other games a mixed bag, Huddersfield and Stockport drop points, Stevenage do a leap frog.
My one, mild, critique of the methodology would be that it likely overweights a poor start.
Lincoln, Huddersfield, Bolton - 1 point from 3 games in that opening salvo. Later games against current top six - Cardiff 0 from 1, Bradford 3 from 2, Stockport 4 from 2, Bolton 1 from 1, 8 from 6 games ...
It’s only relatively recently that the spur from Nottingham to Mansfield by rail was reopened, so the big bus station is a legacy of that really. You used to have to get the bus from Nottingham
Having spent a night with that bus station as my view from the hotel, I feel I've got to really know ...
Whereas fans get angry about an offside, but offsides do have a positive correlation with winning, and are a sign that your team is winning the midfield battle and is attempting through balls into dangerous places from which goals are often scored.
Started having a look at the stats - feels that ...
Its an odd old part of the world. It took 90 minutes + for the rail replacement bus to get there. The town felt like a light industrial unit had been sponsored by Taco Bell and Greggs. Literally nothing going on later that evening.
Yet it had one of the biggest bus stations I've seen in a ...

we've been caught off side 45 times this season. only Mansfield have been caught off side fewer times on 38. Now whilst this isn't a table we want to be top of, it does indicate that we don't get into many attacking situations. and certainly shows we ...
It feels like we've had perpetual injury crises for a decade except under Selles. It's not a coincidence. LR talks a lot about the importance of fitness and a good pre season, so hopefully next season is better.
I’m 99% sure some solid statistical research has been done on this topic, as injuries ...
- if it's not on a plate, Long Kelvin doesn't want it - I hate, like properly loathe, Savage in this position - Doyle slows down attacks more than Ejaria did, and that's saying something - Fraser was utterly anonymous (again) - Even on a night like this, Ward is still a bright light in this team ...
Somewhere between “that was dire” and RoyalWasters post. Three or four early chances, and it took a deflection to decide it. But that doesn’t hide a pretty miserable second half and a complete failure to change the direction of the game.
