If Birmingham want to restore any credibility they need to be all out for Steve Cooper.

Franchise FC Apart from the win against Villa, how does Ten Hag still have a job ?

Massive severance be my guess. Incredibly lucky to be still in a job, but hope he stays.

Crowd of over a thousand today at Basingstoke to see them play out a battling 0-0 draw. Salisbury missed a penalty (it was dreadful) but were far the better team with wave of attack after attack yet Basingstoke could have won it at the end. Basingstoke have not won in ages, decimated with injuries a...

Mid Sussex Royal Anyone know how Lucas Joao is doing?

In and out of the team towards end of season, scored a few goals, Shanghai won the league so championship medal under their belt. Assume he is staying for another season.

He was on the money with femii azeez too :lol: :roll: Where were you the last couple of months when Azeez was struggling and getting slated, despite you hailing him as future PL star? That's right, hiding. Meanwhile, I was defending him saying it wasn’t coming off, but he was constantly involved an...

I make that the 15th consecutive game that we have scored in, that’s some going.

From Despair To Where?

Snowflake Royal I'm sorry for the pain you feel, finally realising I've been right for the last 3 years.

You and pretty much everyone else Ian. No great insight needed for that one.

Well quite

He was on the money with femii azeez too

Buttons inability to come for a cross, repeatedly in this game, continues.

Oh and Mukairu, often rare but great to see that a player who started terribly grew into the match and got better and better. He is very quick over ten yards and that needs to be utilised more. When he moved across to the middle and switched sides at times he was very dangerous. Oh and Tom Holmes, h...

Terrible first 20 minutes, break in play, a huddle, and a different performance. Some noticeable performances by those already mentioned. Great save from button when needed. My usual gripe of him not commanding that six yard box continues to frustrate. Other gripe is the passage of play down the lef...

genome Why didn't Nunez get a second yellow for sarcastic applauding the referee after being booked, while Dalot got a second yellow for protesting?

Yep, saw that too, but the story goes he was actually clapping the opposing player but not been picked up by tv cameras to confirm that.

CL R16 draw today. Naturally all the runners-up will want to draw Sociedad. PSG will get Real or Bayern. City will get Copenhagen . No-one will want Inter, who were strangely rubbish in the Group Stage. Group winners: Manchester City, Bayern Munich, Arsenal, Real Sociedad, Real Madrid, Atletico Mad...

Brogue Never seen such humble comments from an opposition team fair play to them.

Yeah - that was my assessment too.

Didnt realise Mark Bowen was in with the fans on Saturday, nice touch. Anyone manage to get any snippets from him?

Lincoln: Quite how Reading didn't leave Sincil Bank with 3 deserved points I really don't know. They were simply brighter and more cohesive than us for all the match, bar the opening few minutes. Reading had two chalked off which on another day could have stood The linesman on that side did us some ...

Maybe Dai has had a change of heart, falling in love with us again, freed up some of his money and going to underpin us all again.


Stranger things have happened.

Stranded 14th in the form table, undefeated in 2 away from home now. Next 4 games are big. If we are out of the bottom 4 after the Exeter game, then baring points deductions we should be OK.

Over the last 5 games we are 8th in form table.

Thought we played well and dominated. Lincoln were poor. Continuous signs of improvement. Onto the next.

Basically the bottom 3 - need to find a minimum of 9 wins from 22, when they all are on a run of 2 wins from 16 - that is a tough ask to turn that around.

Relegation. Luton, Burnley and Sheff Utd are done already, aren't they? Everton are good enough and I think Forest will find enough results. Is surely only Palace, who are in freefall with Doucoure out, who might bother 18th spot? Said before but likely team to get out of the bottom 3 are Luton. Th...
