Knew you’d come up trumps Mick!

[Northumbiron]

We don’t want to spend too much time defending if Manny is out!

Only two draws for us all season. Got a feeling this could be number 3!

[Northumbiron]

End of April at earliest from what I read. Probably mid May even.

Maybe they’ll try limited attendance for stuff like the playoffs.

[Northumbiron]

Not too worried after a three week layoff. I expected worse.

Get Kev firing again and we should do better. Next two games will be tougher than today’s though.

[Northumbiron]

Clarke starting with Jai Rowe on the bench.

Didn’t we bring in another RB, or am I imagining it?

Seemed an odd signing at the time and even odder today.

[Northumbiron]

I remember a RL game where Robbie Paul was wittering on. In a break in play the ref called him over and you could hear…

“Do you know the rules of Rugby League Robbie?” “Yeah!” “Do you think I know the rules of Rugby League?” “Course you do.”

“Good! We both know the rules, so you can stop following me around quoting them!”

Brilliant!

Well if he doesn’t want to work with a 23 year old I can’t see him back here!

[Northumbiron]

Well that whiled away a good few minutes!

I thought Kit 1 was gash! 5 & 2 for me. Anything with fuzzy stripes looks horrible as does camo style blotches.

[Northumbiron]

Straw-clutching for six points?

It’ll be replayed. The question is do our original predictions still stand or do we enter new ones as and when?

For example: once I knew Saturday’s five were all postponed I didn’t bother filling out the predictions page.

They’re shit at taking penalties mind!

Would it cause a problem if the season extended into June?

Not like any of our squad are Internationals!

[Northumbiron]

You’re one degree up on my forecast Les!

But it is beside the sea!

[Northumbiron]

Shouldn’t the salary cap be on individual players rather than the squad?

[Northumbiron]

Have we played this month?

Not sure what he’s basing that on? Don’t see what more we could have done?

We got the pitch into a perfectly playable state and then the snow started again heavily. Is that “poor pitch management”?

He was on a wind-up.

I’d have done the same!

He also said the white strip was their camouflage kit!

[Northumbiron]

Gets rid of the ridiculous £2.5m/£1.5m discrepancy between Leagues 1 & 2.

Hopefully something a bit more sensible will replace it.

[Northumbiron]

Bradford brought eleven!

[Northumbiron]

I feel a Fansy/Alcy style “told you so” coming on!

Should never have gone ahead. Bradford must be well pissed off having traveled when they didn’t need to. Any groundsman worth his salt would have realised that as soon as the covers came off and it got dark the pitch would start to freeze up, snow storm or no snow storm.

My Bantam mate just texted me to they should get all three points as a default because of our poor pitch management!

The good news is no additional injuries, which was more than likely. The bad news is Bolton are winning!

[Northumbiron]

Shit!

[Northumbiron]

Zero chance if they were playing on our village rec!

[Northumbiron]

I’m guessing that if you’ve bought a pass it’ll be good for the rearrangement?

[Northumbiron]

Winnable, but when did we last win four on the bounce?

[Northumbiron]

Yeah, really enjoyed it.

Remember his debut vs Bournemouth. We hadn’t won a game after getting promoted. I think Richie Humphreys scored our first. Guy came on and nailed it.

Used to have a video of that game at Burnley, but when VHS went the way of the dinosaurs I lost it. Would love to see the goals from that game again. And Perez’s heroics!

Careful Mick, that sounds like nepotism!

[Northumbiron]

Maybe Swann thought he was getting Eddie Howe as our next manager, seeing as Cox is off to Wimbledon for a bit of inbreeding!

Strange signing indeed. Wonder who the agent is?

Ardley, Downes, and Hodges last 3 Wimbledon managers, add Cox and yes I would say nepotism or inbreeding.

You do know that “inbreeding” requires sexual intercourse don’t you?

If you don’t you really need to look stuff up before posting it.

If you do you must have some weird ideas of what goes on at Wimbledon!

[Northumbiron]

Says the bloke who brought up inbreeding in a football related post!

[Northumbiron]

Just imagine AWG saying it in A Southern (US) drawl!

[Northumbiron]

Who said anything about luck?

The team was woeful in those games (and others) so we deserved Jack Shit.

Loft on his own is a grazing donkey. Loft supported by another striker is effective. A defence with Cordner and Bedeau in the centre leaked goals. A defence with Manny plus Taft/McGahey can keep three clean sheets in a row.

A midfield with Karacan in it gives Eisa and Gilliead more freedom to attack.

Cox tan take credit for this, but it shouldn’t have taken 20+ games to figure it out.
