General Discussion / Re: Linnets lose on the road

John when I saw the line up was missing both McFadden and Johnson I feared the worst today.

Having just had a listen to a 'prickly' AL post match interview it seems I might have it spot on and a 1-0 defeat was a decent result.

No shame in a single goal defeat at Darlo.  As for new players coming in surely we would have seen them join by now.  Time is slipping away. 

Hopefully McFadden and Johnson are back for Tuesday night at Kiddie.  Two poor defeats for them on the spin against Marine and then today sets it up nicely for us. Good time to go there.

Agree WW, loads of potential.   Good signing.  Think we will see see even more from him next season.  Subject to him still being with us of course.

Rumours make the world go around.  850,000 at any one time.  Another one here and there isn't going to do too much damage.

In Footballl..... owners, players and Managers come and go. The supporters  tend to be there for a lifetime

Wouldn't that be some kind of poetic justice  :laughcry:  Two National League Relegations on your CV won't look impressive for a man of TW's self worth.

To think Aldershot not only paid out to get Tommy they paid a transfer fee to get his boy as well.

Just had a look at Shots forum and it seems Widdrington has a big aim to win the Hants Senior Cup this season.

First half was decent, albeit against 10 men and against a team with limited ambition.   2nd we seem to stop playing almost like we had done enough and it was game over.   Oxford scoring then made for a tense final half an hour.

Still 3 points is three points.  As many say it's all about result at this time of the season.  So hopefully AL won't be banging on with hard luck stories in the run in.  You get nothing for playing well and getting sod all.

Clever piece of marketing by Bal.   After Saturday's defeat and with two home games in 3 days.  Cold Tuesday with Oxford in town how many people would the game of pulled in ?

So 400 @ £20.   Against 2500 @ £5.

You do the  math.

I hope the Chip van has stocked up on the old King Edward's  :thanks:

Think you are missing the point Uptoon.  Surely it's a 9 ( or 10) we need not yet another wide player.  Think we are covered in that area.  Saturday we had no striker on the bench.  So with chasing the game we had little to no option to change things.

Most Managers always protect their own backs.  So a culture of blaming everything except themselves tends to be the order of the day.  They can't blame the team because they bring the players to the Club and play them. 

The idea we missed out on Sam Osbourne seems strange one.  Have we not got enough wide players in the squad?  With no strikers on the bench again yesterday surely that has to be the priority. 

Go back to Culverhouse he look for locally for his signings.  Didn't do him any harm, at this level.

You aren't the first say that today.  Trouble is they don't give you points for that.  You can't win games if you aren't scoring goals.

Mushroom seems to be the variety at The Walks :stir:

With no strikers on the bench again today ( are Gold and Williams both injured?) is our lack of activity in the transfer market now costing us ?  38 goals scored from 32 League games tells its own story. Top of the table Chester have scored 50% more.

All credit to you Malc.   Some maybe have to look closer at their pennies. So for them maybe it's not so great to see prices slashed after they have bought a season ticket ?

Are Leamington and Alfreton not part time ?
