Well stocked in the keeper department. Button is 35 and I am reliably informed he is our highest earner. As you stats prove there is very little difference between him and Pereira. So from a purely economic point of view button can go. Imo. Good luck shifting him. At best a loan where we pay two th...
I've had a look at the basic goalkeeping stats. Despite everyone criticising Button in goal, we've conceded basically as much with him in goal as we have with Pereira in goal. Button - Pld 37 - GA 55 - 59.7 mins per GA Pereira - Pld 9 - GA 14 - 54.6 mins per GA Even without that stoppage time mista...
We were probably the biggest wildcard in hindsight. Totally unpredictable. Then you always get a couple surprise packages like Stevenage and Orient plus underachievers like Charlton. But the top 2 wasn't very surprising, the playoffs involve all of last year's play off losers and the bottom 4 provi...

Yeah, I pride myself on being pretty good at this, but I had a shocker this season. Really knew very little about L1. Hope to do much better next season. Royal Monkeys was scarily accurate. Couple of sides - us and Stevenage m particularly, caught a few of us out but otherwise quite pleased at my g...
Not every likely contender is confirmed yet. So early days. But I remember 4-4-2 had us down at about 20/1 for the title in 05/06. I remember the Reading FC magazine (remember that?) had a full list with us being mid-table ahead of that season. Just shows how underestimated that team was, making th...
Apparently Lyle Taylor gave away a penalty late on Tuesday that meant Cambridge went into the final day at risk of relegation, he hit back at (legit) criticism on social media (not heard any suggestion of racist abuse etc) and then walked out of the club on Wednesday. What a wrong 'un. He was certa...

Said to Lady Hendo (who was there on Saturday and throughly enjoyed herself) that it was the best last home game of the season for ages and ages and usually there isn't anyone staying for the lap of appreciation because the last game is such a damp squib. I remember the 0-4 vs Ipswich where a few h...
Surprised I haven't seen more piss taking for celebrating like we won the league on Saturday when we finished 17th. Obviously those who have experienced the past few years know exactly why, but still an easy cheap shot to make. It didn’t really have celebration vibes, though, just last-day applause...

Not going to add much more but to note that this is the first time we have finished a season with a win since the season we made the Champ Play-off Final under Stam. We won at Burton on 7th May 2017 - not won on the final day since until Saturday. The last time we won the last league game, and had ...
Do you have some sort of NASA super computer? I wish. :lol: Had the desktop for about five years now and I bought from a recycling company, who appear to have put together 3+ year old second hand components (I've only had to upgrade the graphics card). Still quite a powerful thing though, as it use...
It's been the same all season. It just doesn't work. The only joy I get on that front is when moving up to the NE corner for the second half, and picking up the B&Q wifi. Had no issue today, but always used to. 10,000 people all trying to use their phone at the same time and place is going to c...
Goalkeeper I'd prioritise trying to find two out of three of Andresson, Bouzanis and Button a new club. Hopefully this frees up the squad space to extend Pereira. Then try to find a L2/Conf loan for Boyce-Clarke. And use Collins/Norcott as third choice. Defence 100% Yiadom sees out his contract her...
