Re: MATCHWATCH : Portsmouth (h)

Re: Up to date Selles poll - in or out?

Many calling for Hunt. Love him of course but let's not forget he was utter shite and not the answer last season. Bowen maybe, anyone else maybe. Hunt unlikely to be any better imo. Very harsh on Hunt. He came in with 5 games to go and we achieved creditable draws with Burnley, Luton and Wigan and ...

you want a reset?


I've been warning for years that the great reset would not be a good thing.

CountryRoyal We’re gonna get slaughtered in League Two.


Personally I am looking forward to the Blue Square South season ahead. Think 4-2-2-2 will work really well at that level.

Re: Head groundsman gone

Communication has been a thorny issue for the club and so perhaps the team did need pruning.

Bollox. We want SeLLLLLLLLLLes to keep dragging us down so a prospective buyer will be looking at a L2 club? Selles out immediately. Bide your time. Next season could be a reset.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Charlton Athletic (a)

I have never been one to keep changing managers but Selles is showing zero sign of learning. He keeps playing stupid formations and players out of position and keeps rotating the squad each week. We need a manager who chooses his best 11 and sticks with them injuries allowing. Sadly as many of us fe...

It is increasingly clear that Selles is clueless and unable to motivate these young players.

Re: “ Sell before we Dai “ supporters action group v2.2 sponsored by Dunlop Tennis Balls

I have a question re the value of the club. A figure of £20M is now being banded around by SJM but what does this include. Surely if we are talking about the club + the ground + the training ground then Dai's £70M figure is nearer the mark. Surely it would cost more that £50M to build the ground to...

Re: Away form

In the 22 home games in the same 12 month period, the record has been 9-8-5 - 35 points - which although not brilliant is pretty solid and so as we all know the away form has been the main cause of our recent woes.

Away form

In the year between 1st October 2022 and 30th September 2023 we have played 22 away games and the record has been 1-3-18. Just 6 away points in a whole year. I was wondering if any hobob stattos know if that is some sort of record? On a positive note this time last year we were 3rd in the league and...

Re: another, thants right another embargo for late PAYE payments - a new embargo

Re: Selles out

Selles wouldn't have been my choice, but to be fair he has done better than I expected so far considering the hand he was dealt (I wasn't expecting much!). He was appointed late, most of the players we brought in haven't been here 5 minutes and so there was no proper pre -season. We have seen one of...

Re: Summer 2023 Transfer Speculation

Wareham looks very good in the U21 highlights, not sure why we would need someone else's youngster. Chelsea released Wareham so he is OOC and would be our player if he signs. Looks good so perhaps the sticking point is what wages we are prepared to offer. Personally I would much rather we signed fr...

Thought that was one of the most enjoyable games I had watched in a long time - end to end attacking football (be it of very varied quality) although the last few minutes left me with mixed feelings. On the one hand gutted RFC did not get a point but couldn’t help feeling pleased for the Exeter fans...
