Quoted from Rodley Mariner
I have to say Lew, that your post above sums up why so many of your posts frustrate me. You are entitled to an opinion and that opinion is as valid as everybody elses. However, you can't guarantee it's 'coming again', just as nobody can guarantee we'll win the play offs. Likewise, you label today's performance dire without having witnessed it.

We're clearly not in great form but we're sound defensively, hard to beat, raise our game in big games (see the FA Cup), grind out results and we're good away from home. That's enough to give me some hope. I'd also ask why, if we're so inferior to , say Halifax, that 42 games into the season we have more points than them. Labelling our manager a moron and an idiot and lambasting members of the squad is counter-productive and unfair given where we are in the league and the stage of the season we're at. As for your constant suggestion that there is some kind of an agenda against Cook, if this is true why did he give him half an hour and leave Hannah on the bench? Sounds like he did well when he came on and I'd expect he'll be on the bench if not starting on Saturday.


I agree with hagrid. Superb post.

Some people have their heads in the cloud. Second half was urine poor again, story of the last few months since Huddersfield.

Cambridge put 7 past Hyde today, I wonder if we'll do the same?

Not convincing by any means but job done. Have we started with Tounkara and Cook yet? Think it's worth a go with them two after scoring today. Steady enough from McLaughlin covering at left back too so Hurst can put his boots back in the garage.

A bit embarrassing to have three or four grown men arguing over who's taking a penalty.

PS - If you've ever flown Crab Air through Brize Norton and wondered why it's taking an age for your bag to get unloaded it's because the movers are on here whinging about Town being excrement. My advice is do it yourself like I had to last time I came through

Excellent post Rodley. These posters congratulating Cooky on 'showing' Hurst need to have their tea, calm down and think their posts through. Hannah was on the bench but Cook was picked ahead of him. Cook (and I'm only going by the radio) didn't sound like he was having some immense game while the rest of the team were 'dire'...certainly not as good a game as Thursday.
Still, don't want to spoil anyones conspiracy theories...


Cook was impressive when he came on, but someone who isn't getting enough credit is Tounkara who I thought was excellent today. Very good movement and a composed finish for his goal and he also won a penalty using his pace and persistence. With 2 goals in 3 games he must start on Tuesday.

Good to see plenty of posters countering the doom mongers.  If we were rubbish we wouldn't be third.  Probably only need four more points for the play offs.

I feel for the manager and players having to contend with this negativity.

It's a shame, given that PH obviously likes a big/little combo upfront, that Jennings and Hannah seem currently to be the two most out of form strikers. If LJL is out I wonder if he might try Cook- Tounkara on Tuesday?

Pontoonlew seems to have the opposite of rose-tinted glasses --  mogadon-infected contact lenses?  So predictably and relentlessly negative - and - in my opinion, so lacking in balanced football judgement is he, that I've blocked his posts (took a sneaky peek of this one though, so I could make this snarky response).

Cheer up Pontoonlew -- get some proper perspective chum.  Support the team now and then - it can be enjoyable. Honest.

By the way -- I didn't think we were remotely 'dire' today.  We're a pretty good Division 5 team, with an honest bunch of players.

My glass is half full. Third, 5 points clear of sixth. Fine we're spluttering a bit, but the pounding PH is taking is awful and its showing in his interviews. Get behind the boys.
Look at Luton today, it's a nerve wracking time of the season and we need to be positive. PH is on target to take us to our best finish since we got relegated so well done to him.
