It's a must-win for me. All the teams in and around us are playing against sides that on paper, you'd have them down as gimmes.

Paul Cox had a ridiculous budget to get us out of the league at the time. It had a lot of similarities to what we see now, a ridiculous depth of players, no stand out "star men" and nobody having the slightest clue what our best 11 is/was. The lads sat in the stands currently not even making...

I'd imagine a 1-1 draw is odds on at the bookies? If we get a 5th on the trot, there's a serious problem that needs addressing.

The level of quality in the squad means we should be doing better than we are. In all fairness, when you look at the league table, it tells you that we are the toughest team to beat in the entire league. It also shows that we have more draws than any team in the entire EFL, the vast majority...

With the extended bench of 7 subs these days, it basically allows 8 changes, which should be more than enough don't get me wrong. We must be one of very few squads capable of changing a whole 11 plus a few subs if we wanted though, not that we'd do that anyway I don't believe. Our reserves are...

Nailed on Notts win this. The Direites struggle against the more physical and direct sides recently. Would prefer a draw though.

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2018/02/22/efl-introduce-new-rules-stop-teams-playing-weakened-sides/ Essentially it is to stop teams who have already confirmed a playoff place, or perhaps those who have nothing to play for, fielding weakened teams against opposition where the result can...

Angol is the biggest fanny we have on the team in my opinion. Always scared of messing his bush head up. Looks dangerous when we've played a reasonable amount of football into feet. But more often than not, and especially recently, we've been too direct, and Angol winning a header is like...

WUM? Did you see from your sun lounger in Spain that everything I wrote came absolutely true?

Expecting a horrible game of football. County are a direct side, and if they start both Stead and Ameobi it will signal their intent to be as such from the first whistle. Pearce struggled with Rheady recently when Lincoln constantly bombarded that area with the diagonals, but I'm not sure what...

Think there's a limit, but he could re-name the stadium like we did or some other sponsorship method. Pilley at Fleetwood has his company offices on the car park at the stadium. He charges his company a higher rent level than if it was in London, so it goes straight into the club coffers as income.

Evans has confirmed today that he's not even spoken to Peterborough about Miller. Darragh McAnthony has tweeted a straight up "Nope" when asked if he's off to Lincoln. Evans has said he wants three players. One is the most obvious, a striker that we've been crying out for all season, and...

FFP doesn't seem to stop us, and it's never stopped Pilley at Fleetwood, and Steve Evans at his previous clubs Crawley and Rotherham. There's ways around it, which I'm sure Vince will be more than aware of.

Lots of folk saying Miller is coming to us. We tried for James Hanson of Sheff Utd in the summer, but he was willing to stay at the Blades and fight for a start. With the emergence of Brookes, he's pretty much 5th choice now behind Sharp, Clarke, Donaldson and Brookes, so I keep hearing we might...

The worrying thing for a lot of the wooden spoon contenders with the window about to open soon, should be that Dale Vince will more than likely chuck loads of money at it to avoid the drop. He spent a small fortune failing every year when we were in that horrible league trying to get them up, so...
