My bad, but I had not realised that we are up against MK Dons this Tuesday in the League Cup. Perhaps not the best time to meet them (when is?), but a win would install some fight in the team surely? I have no idea where Fleetwood is, and have some vision of a terrible long journey to some northern town that reached its heyday in 1870. I’m always…[Read more]

I agree that the goal is survival. Until we move back to the new Plough Lane, then I think our hands are tied. For the past few seasons we have relied on one player to get the bulk of the goals, whether that be a Pigott, a Taylor or Akinfenwa or whoever. Trouble is when that player doesn’t show up. I see a repeat of last season, albeit with a…[Read more]

Were you at the Wycombe game, Rob? Wow!

A most interesting result at Scunthorpe and a welcome brace from Hanson. What are we setting up here: abject failure at Accrington (where?) and Oxford? If this is some stirring of life into this moribund season, then it is going to keep the fans coming through the turnstiles for the weeks to come. A win at Accrington and we really can start…[Read more]

Remarkable. I look forward to reading your match reports and opinions. Where did all this fightback come from? Is it all that wet weather and impending economic demise? Whatever it is, Wally the Gaffer needs to bottle it and dispense it at will over the last few games of this dreadful season. If the players could spend the off-season with a hod,…[Read more]

Yikes! Time to consult the Google maps for all of these lovely League 2 locations for next year. Places like Milton Keynes. No point even thinking otherwise. If the latest wally in charge of the club is to have a hope of rescuing next season, then now is the time to start giving up on this season. Mind you, will our Wally be there next season. How…[Read more]

Well, maybe we are being too pessimistic. If we can knock four by West Ham, then bottom of the table is not an accurate reflection. I hope Downes can build on this.

Come back Ardley. I’m a bit surprised that the club let him go. I doubt anyone else can save us. We can blame managers all we want, but surely the players must also face the music. I doubt Bassey is the Great White Hope. He has been around enough to stamp his authority as well, and we are nowhere. I wonder if the next gaffer will be tempted by a…[Read more]

So, a poor performance against Haringey and the guvnor may be doomed? Looks like we’ve reached the point of no return. Shame really, as I don’t think the manager should always take the full blame for the performance of the kids underneath. You can only work with what you’ve got. Pay peanuts and you get monkeys, Mr Chairman. Such bad timing when…[Read more]

I hope Ardley’s career is not terminated because of Shrewsbury and/or Stevenage. Talk about two non-entity places to move to a gloomier future. Is the club supporting him to the best?

We are only 4 points behind where we were last season. Even if we lose the next game that gap remains. Hardly panic stations, i.e. we’ve always been a bit shit. Ditching the gaffer Ardley would be a big mistake. “Down with the Palace, you’r going down with the Palace” and all that. The malaise would seem to emanate from some of the immature…[Read more]

Watching Wolves get a handballed goal against Man City, and you can’t get over the fact that refs will make mistakes. I guess the positive thing is that we are creating chances. The luck will turn. Good crowd figure!

Crikey! And there was me looking at the upcoming fixtures and trying to forecast our points. Clearly a home win against Fleetwood would fit in with any optmist. The Cod Army FFS! I will await the reports, but this looks like our worst result of the season. I guess where there is life there is hope! The Cod Army….. FFS!

Despite yesterday’s result, looking at the table and the fixtures, I am inclined to think that we are going to be safe – just! I see no such mercy for our twin city friends in MK-land. At the start of the season, would we have settled for safety, progress in the return Home, and the MK Dons to be relegated? And to retain the Gaffer! It looks like…[Read more]

Colum makes a good point; maybe League Two would be better for us. Isn’t this all about killing time until lots of people dress up as wombles at the Grand Opening and Bonnie Langford makes a guest appearance? When for goodness is that day ever going to come? Hadrians Wall was probably built faster. I doubt the Burys and Rochdales of this world get…[Read more]

We are still 18th! How did we manage that? Staying still while going backwards. It must be the weather.

M K Dons’ new manager is not exactly doing them a lot of good. I doubt there is a decent and new manager out there, and certainly not one that the club could afford. The fat lady has not sung yet, so there is hope. I think we will have to resign ourselves to riding the rollercoaster with The Gaffer and his team of underperformers for the rest of…[Read more]

It is puzzling how our run of good form has abruptly ended. Are we seriously heading towards the scenario where the four teams below us have to knock us off our lowly perch to ensure survival, and one being our friends in the South Midlands? It is going to make for a tense end to the season. I still think that Ardley is the right person for the…[Read more]

Are we on the upswing?

How do FA Cup gate receipts work? With 47,527 fans attending the Spurs game, we must surely have pocketed several hundred thousand?
