I don't really care about being out, but a few concerns about the game that may read across to the league. We were toothless without Smith and Knibbs, and I'm concerned we have several key players who we don't have cover for. Even barring injuries, is it really sustainable to keep winning through Az...

You have the memory of a goldfish?

Nothing comes close to a close to first team losing to Eastleigh.

This.

I'd back Eastleigh to beat a Premier League U21s team most of the time. Probably 3 times out of 4.

Problem with picking a strong team is you have no excuses when you can't beat a load of U21s.

And people feared another points deduction

Panic averted until the HMRC charge is heard.

I wonder how significant a £4k fine is to him. I doubt he's on silly money. Could be 2 weeks wages at least.

The NL now is probably a similar level to L2 at the turn of the century, if not better. All but 1 or 2 teams are full time, there are clubs like Oldham and Chesterfield who should never have fallen that far plus ambitious upstarts. It makes it very hard to climb out when there's just one automatic s...

I know in the end it all comes down to Dai, but would it be worth considering writing to rumoured interested parties (e.g. Mike Ashley) and try to encourage them to make a bid or at least show they'd have some support amongst fans behind them if they did bid. Anything could be worth a try. I see th...

Did Knibbs pick up an injury in training and is now going to be out for a while? I am sure I saw it on Twitter yesterday. Unless I dreamt it of course. Had a quick look and there only appears to be a single mention of it on Twitter. It's possible it's true though; I highly doubt he'd be involved if...

You say sustainably, but at L2, that's not possible with our infrastructure. How many clubs our size or bigger have struggled to get back to the Champ just from L1, loads take 5/6 years just from there. Hell of a long time to risk waiting seein any possibility of a returnon investment. Fo down and ...

On the topic of relegation rivals, anybody know why 4 get relegated in L1? With Carlisle and Fleetwood looking the worst, that extra spot makes a big difference.

Whereas L2 get a great deal. Only 2 down and 4 up. Arguably easier to get out of than the NL.

P auno I nce S elles S tam P aul Clement J O se Gomes O ur owner R odgers That's my analysis of our managerial appointments over the last decade or so, and likely the apogee of my intellectual contribution to HNA for this year probably. Feel free to ask for further quality analysis as required. Tha...

I'd go a semi strength team. Rest our fab 4 of Wing, Smith, Azeez and Knibbs, but otherwise full strength. Plus a useful run out for McIntyre if available.

So reports that Henderson wants to return to the PL. I doubt anyone will be convinced to go for him. Must go down as one of the worst transfer decisions a player has made. Any others to rival it? I think making about £5m for 5 months work is a pretty good transfer decision tbh. He clearly disagrees...

So much speculation on how Dai will act. If he was acting rationally, he'd have accepted the Genevra bid which was rumoured at c. £30m and fcuked off. He'll never get a better offer. Do we know what his plan is? Definitely not. Should we be extremely concerned about how this ends? Definitely. Does ...

When you see players try and stay on their feet and mess up their cross / shot because they've been knocked off balance, 95% of the time the ref gives nothing. They need to be rewarded for staying on their feet hugely disagree, and I feel that is part of the problem of where football has gone. Its ...

Trouble is, anyone involved in the game at any time in recent memory, will have heard the phrase “he has a perfect right to go down there” so many times that, scandalously, it is now a part of football’s DNA. But no, it’s not too late to fix it - it just needs the will to do so. I remember a Patric...

Good game between Arsenal and Liverpool. I do wonder if instead of signing Havertz and Raya, Arsenal should have gone big on Osimeh are another CF. Obviously Toney is available now but he wouldn't have helped them so far this season.

Werner heading to Spurs, and Dier heading to... Bayern :lol: I laughed when I saw that as well, why would Bayern want Dier who knows. Spurs must be hoping they can get more goals out of Werner than what Chelsea did. Always thought his movement was good, just seemed short of any confidence at Chelse...

The Cowley Brothers appointed by Colchester - looks like a very decent appointment for a club in their position - wouldn't have been against them coming to us in the summer. I commented awhile back that i spoke at length to Cowley around February 2023 time. He is managing his daughters football tea...
