Re: Untrue truisms

I certainly think Cardiff; Bolton; and maybe Plymouth are bigger than us. You lost me at Plymouth. Sides like Bradford; Huddersfield; Barnsley; Luton; Blackpool; Rotherham; Peterborough; and Stockport have aspects in which they're competitive with (or clearly bigger than) us. Hmmmm. Some of these, ...

Re: Port Vale Away

Royals and Racers Vale’s FA cup game tomorrow postponed because of their dreadful pitch- could our match the following Saturday be in jeopardy. ??


An afternoon on the piss in the potteries without the football getting in the way?

Fingers crossed!

Re: Richardson out

Reading all the Thomas Frank stuff got me thinking (dangerous, I know): The standard response for fans is to blame any poor run of results on the manager. To say that someone else would get the team playing better and improve results. But - as fans are we saying that the 'average' manager would do ...

Re: Richardson out

Turn any one of the games we lost points into a win and its either 10 or 11 pts from 6 games, which is basically consistent with the rest of Leam's form. Hopefully that illustrates the narrow margins involved and - I hesitate to keep repeating myself - we do need a small uptick to really compete for...

Re: Play-off/relegation watch.

Leam overall form in league - played 16 won 8 draw 4 lost 4 (1.75 ppg).

16 games left to go, so keeping the same form gives won 8 draw 4 lost 4, an additional 28 points, for a total of 71.

It just needs a minor uptick in form, away draws and home wins, and we’re hitting mid70s.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Wigan Athletic (a)

Sat at Wigan North Western. Goals were at least taken well. Some nice approach play ruined by shambolic individual mistakes. Not sure Doyle nor Lane necessarily have it, meanwhile Roberts and Nyambe probably stood out most, then the two centre backs. Reading fans in good voice. Thanks to two in part...

Re: Port Vale Away

Just eyeballing what's left available and there's 20 in one block and maybe 60 in another. Other areas all sold out.

Looks like only a third of the last block is actually available.

Re: Richardson out

Millsy 2nd in the form table yet languishing in 10th?

The buck has to stop at LR's door for this discrepancy.

One more game to turn it round or I expect a sacking.


That's the spirit.

Figure 5 is captioned wrong.
Figure 6 ain't great either.

Re: How best to approach the rest of the season

Not even reinforcements per se, more "I have a different vision, oh, and this lad I worked with before is available and I think he's a better fit here, ah, and I'm not sure this player is working and we might be able to get this guy in on loan" Plus, as implied, there's a "we brought ...

Re: How best to approach the rest of the season

Plus, and I think this might be the biggest factor involved here, we changed our manager in the Autumn.

Re: Port Vale Away

It is an initial allocation for a stand that holds 3k-4k so can understand. Even the pricing I don't think we sell out the entire away end. Three blocks out of maximum six, but I think its hard to police effectively at 4 or 5 blocks. Anyway, tickets bought. Block A down to about 3 free seats, Block...
