Starbuck seems to have improved massively from last season. Didn’t think he’d be a long term option at right back but he’s proving that assumption wrong so far.
Completely agree, nobody wants the club to fail and to suggest otherwise is just dumb! I wonder if Michelle and the Board share his feelings and want every fan who has anything negative to say to stay home and stop putting their money into club.
Beck gets absolutely slaughtered by some on here, Banjo this, Banjo that, but for some reason that’s fine. Dare to say anything negative about Campbell (who had an OK game today…nothing more, nothing less, claimed a couple of high balls and didn’t have a save to make) and the same culprits cry.
Bigleftoe: I honestly don’t know if football’s the sport for you if that’s what you take from today’s game.
Guess that’s why I’ve already got my tickets for Brackley away next weekend end then.
It’s an historic observation, teams tend to do well against us when they go down to 10 men whilst we always struggle.
Yep, Campbell did OK today and seemed a bit more composed under high balls (I don’t think Halifax had a shot on target other than the goal though).

So frustrating to watch. Sutton go down to 10 men on Saturday and are literally all over us for the last 20 minutes of the game. We go down to 10 and can’t get out of our half! Only a matter of time before we’re behind if we carry on like this.
A bit like people not remembering our super striker played in most of the games in our bad patch when they were screaming for Butler’s head
You really do talk utter codswallop. He was out injured for a lot of those games and it also coincided with signing Beck and then playing a returning Whitehall as a bizarre no.10. His two goals off the bench away at Marine arguably ended that bad patch and saved our season.

Maybe it’s never mentioned because Fitz most certainly did not make a howler in the playoff final vs Chester. Just a thought like.
Any thoughts on the Roberts booking?
Can see why he got booked, there was contact but it was Roberts who caused it by dangling his leg out to try and fool the ref.

Well that was a crackin’ game but we didn’t half make hard work of it, real backs to the walls stuff for the last 20 minutes even with Sutton down to 10.
Campbell made a brilliant double save towards the end, so fair play to the lad for that, but a professional goalkeeper cannot be making a mistake that leads directly to a goal almost every game he plays. Every team will target him with high balls into the box so you’ve just got to hope and pray he’s a fast developer because that part of his game is currently Sunday league standard at best.
Sadly we have a goalkeeper who’s terrified of the football. How long do we have to accept a goalkeeper who’s costing a goal almost every game he plays. Feel sorry for the outfield 10 because other than that they’ve been playing very well!

You should be easily identifiable on the highlights BLT every time an opposition cross comes in:
Justified.

Mussy has been peppering him with crosses during the warm up…couple of fumbles hopefully out the way already before KO!
Being able to come and take crosses/high balls into the box and take pressure off of your defenders is what separates the men from the boys in the goalkeeping world (pretty much a direct quote from Mark Bosnich on a recent Ben Foster podcast). We’re definitely stuck with a boy at the moment, just have to hope he develops into a man pretty soon otherwise we’re going to come under some serious pressure this season.
I’ll be at the game today and going for a 1-1.
Yep, basically the proposed £100k worth of ring fenced shares would have come out of Michelle’s personal holding, taking her below the percentage needed to have overall say on the board, so she declined (or something to that matter anyway). However she did go on to say they were in talks yesterday about renegotiating down to £25k worth of shares potentially being available.
Also, I’d like to know who was the genius that decided paying an £800 A MONTH subscription for a bloody washing machine was a good idea!?

What wound me up with their answers to the FC100k fiasco was the insistence on there being zero risk to the club. FC100k was literally announced with the tagline “WE’RE BUYING A FOOTBALL CLUB” with the goal to get 50% ownership plus 1 golden share in order to have a majority shareholding of the club. In what world is giving up overall control of the club to a bunch of charlatans zero risk? Or am I missing something here?
What a weird bloke you are.
I like our strikers to score goals, and he’s hit 40 for us already in 78 games. Keep on doing what you’re doing Danny!

It’s nice having the option of 5 subs to call on, but it does seem like we just make them all for the sake of it half of the time.

Not just the competitive games this season either is it though, he was making these glaring mistakes in almost every game in pre-season too. His distribution is piss poor as well, gifted Sunderland’s first in mid week and a number of dead balls flying straight into touch in both league games so far. How long do we roll out the “he’s young, give the lad a chance” excuse? He’s a professional footballer and that sort of mistake made today is the sort you make as a youth and quickly learn from it. Thankfully we were 3-0 up after a relatively impressive performance, but we won’t be afforded that luxury all season and he’s going to cost us.

Great result, hope all those with the 3-1 predictions but some money on it.
Wonder if Campbell will get in the team of the week again after that absolute clanger.
Looks to be cutting up terribly already. Neal Bishop commenting how bad it is for this early in the season.
Will it be streamed?
OWS suggests they will be looking to live stream it on YouTube.

Forest Green just made two substitutions 45 seconds into the game!
Strange competition this, thought we were playing Sunderland U21’s…their scorer is a 25 year old Colombia international.
*I’ll bite my tongue for the mistake that led directly to the goal.
The new grub does look pretty decent. I reckon close to 1000 will be there tonight.
For anyone who wasn’t at the the game he flapped at a couple 1st half but went on to play OK.
I am delighted about that and hope he succeeds but he was a long way short of being the man of the match.
As for delivering the best goalkeeping performance in the league I’m not sure he had the best goalkeeping performance in the Tamworth game.
Careful MK, you’ll have Fansy back on here soon trying to argue with us who were actually at the game that this “flapping” you speak of was completely fabricated.
The lad made a decent enough save at the end but to get in the NL team of the week is pretty baffling.

If you go on the DAZN highlights themselves (on their app, not the club ones) it does at least show our excellent 2nd goal.
Was at the game and even though it wasn’t pretty, that was a great result. Two fantastic goals from us!
Got to say though that Campbell is an absolute liability. Flapped at everything that went near him in the air and should not have let that ball bounce on his 6 yard line for their goal. Decent enough save at the end but nothing that no other goalkeeper should be letting past them.
For their goal though…there is absolutely no way that the ball crossed the line, will be interesting to see a replay!
P.s. what a find Ewing may turn out to be, our best player by a mile.

Agree, coverage appalling and terrible commentary.
Regarding the price at £20 per month, potentially for 4/5 games is a bargain surely?4/5 games a month with the 3pm blackout? Only reason it was available today was because of no Premier League games being on.
The “Buy tickets” link on the OWS is just a broken link that takes you to an error page. Amateur hour!
