    So, what’s the injury?
    Fatigue, altitude sickness (he is 11ft 17” after all), flickonitis, twisted sock, cantbearseditis?
    It can’t be double vision – he’s only scored one NLN goal all season!

    What a drain on resources he’s going to be next season!

    Players brought in other than Rose have being substandard… for this level, not NL level.
    I’d love to know who thought Beck would be a good acquisition? Schofield?
    An absolute waste of money.
    I knew he wouldn’t score another goal all season. And so it’s transpired.

    That £65k a month deficit would have been £59k if we’d said ‘no thanks’.

    Hopefully there wasn’t a signing on fee or agents fee involved? What’s he had in win bonus money?

    Is he injured? If so, what’s the injury?
    Or, is it to prevent him hitting an appearance number (say 30 – he’s on 26 NLN appearances) so as a bonus payment doesn’t kick in.
    Yes, that does happen.

    Probably the worst signing since:

    The Grate (sic) Kenny Milne – 8 appearances (569 minutes), £5k a week. £520k plus bonuses – nice ‘work’ if you can get it!

    Money down the drain in both cases!

    At K. L., they had two attempts and scored from the one on target whereas we had 20 of which 10 were on target. Unfortunately, we were playing a pub team of time wasters. I wonder which pub their number six plays for.
    A most disappointing result after a three and a half hour drive from Newbury.

    Don’t remember their keeper making 10 saves. Two maybe and one for Carlton. Didn’t desrve to lose or win but if we had hit the target 10 times we’d have the three points. Passing and shooting was terrible, 10/10 for effort.

    Played with the intensity of a veterans game or a pro/am celebrity game.
    2/10 for quality – 3/10 for effort

    On that performance, we don’t have a single player.

    Step 8 NPL Div One (East) standard today. Some were that bad that you wouldn’t want them in your team at Step 9 NCEL Prem.

    Mo, has to go!
    Give him his bus fare and a thank you.

    Abysmal!

    Everything taken into account, we were worth a point.
    Who should have challenged the guy with the oh-so easy header?

    Wasn’t it Kelly who ducked away?

    2 games to go, then the play offs.
    You’d sack him even if we go up via the play offs?

    Couldn’t pass to a team mate.
    Couldn’t keep the ball on the pitch.
    Rubbish!

    We wouldn’t have scored if we’d played non stop through to Easter Monday.

    Good save from Koughan

    It was Carlton. Really hope it wasn’t heading in otherwise what the f*k was he doing!?

    Net would have bust if he hadn’t blocked it!

    I’d have yanked Fadera off, left Scales on and gone 4-4-2

    Whitehall coming on for Federa now.

    I always thought that as a defender you had to jump and attack a crossed ball?
    Lad crumbled, looks like he ducked away… was he scared of the big lad?

    Ball needs a parachute on it!

    At least the commentator sounds like he’ll be ok. If not, I’ll sync the action to RH.

    Michelle deserves a statue for saving our club.

    I genuinely think there was only her that could have pulled it off, being able to negotiate with swann and Hilton, and gave credibility and confidence to individuals and the council to contribute funds. Sharp certainly couldn’t.

    Thinks seem to have changed since the owners acquired equal shares.

    We’ve got one… Banjo!

    This could be a very frustrating 0-0

    They haven’t scored at home in their last 3 games.

    The opposition have failed to score against them (H&A) in 5 of their last 6 games.

    As ever, 1-1 is the shortest scorecast at 5/1

    A Scunny 1-0 win is 11/2

    0-0 draw and a 2-1 Scunny win is 15/2

    I’ve had a sneaky wager on KLT 1-3 Scunny @ 20/1

    I fear the 0-0

    (Full-time ‘professional’) Amateurs.

    Being saying it for years. Make the NL the EFL L3. NLN & NLS are reconfigured to form the new NL (4 up & down between L3). Rejig the levels to reform a new revised NLN / NLS & feeders.

    I’d be interested to know the viewing figure of today’s KLT v Scunny game on Dazn.

    £15 for today’s & Monday’s game is pretty good VFM.

    Exec boxes converted to pleasure palaces… Thai massage with extras whilst watching the game out the window.

    IFA to supervise with his expertise in such matters.

    Supervisor? new CSO.

    Eyes down:

    KLT 12/5
    Draw 2/1
    Scunny 23/20

    Brakly 4/11
    Draw 7/2
    Oxford 7/1

    Rushall 9/1
    Draw 19/5
    Kidderminster 2/7

    If we can secure the maximum tomorrow, Monday may not be as straightforward as some are thinking for Kiddy & Brakly.

    If we ‘only’ draw against KLT – I think we are still in with a great chance.

    They both may only draw on Monday and a home win for us would take us back to the top.

    It’s looking as if it’s going to the last minute of the last set of games of the season

    He would make a good few quid if he sold his own effigy, only thing missing is an halo.
