Not predicting anything, but after Louie Moulden's more than competent performance against Derby last Saturday, surely don't see him being replaced by Burge tomorrow, nor till the end of the season, bar an injury.

Agreed Moulden did O.K. against Derby, but not so much in the previous game against Wycombe or his performance against Peterborough. If Burge has fully recovered I expect him to return in goal.

What's the back line going to be on Friday.

Now Lee Burge is out on the grass will he return in goal?
Will Ali Koiki regain his LB spot or will Brady continue with Monthe.
Which of McGowan, Guthrie and Moore will be fit for Friday ?
Has Brady got any more surprises up his sleeve, e.g. Odimayo or Magloire.

Does anyone on this board feel capable of correctly predicting the Back 5.

Burge; McGowan Sherring Guthrie Koiki maybe with Sowerby as DM.

The moon landings were 100% faked, totally impossible in 1969, the only people to release footage were NASA, yes the astronauts blasted into lower earth orbit the rest was faked, this lie will soon be exposed when privately owned satellites orbit the moon and take unedited pictures.

https://www.iflscience.com/52-percent-of-the-british-public-think-the-moon-landings-were-faked-claims-survey-36995

By a strange and remarkable co-incidence the proportion of British people who think the moon landings are fake exactly matches the number that were conned into voting for Brexit. Can there really be that many gullible people living in the UK ?

I doubt anyone under 50 buys a newspaper these days so the Daily Mail audience is dwindling fast.

Co-incidentally support for the Tories is now running at 9% for the under 50s in the latest polling and significantly only in the over 65 age group do the Tories have an advantage over Labour.

It looks like the time when the press barons had any real influence over the population is coming to an end and about time too. Of course the over 65s have always got GBNews to help to froth their prejudices but most rational people steer well clear.

Sowerby

Sam Sherring. 2 goal line clearances and won all his headers. I thought Fox was outstanding in midfield and Appere did brilliantly with little support, but overall it was just a brilliant team performance that won the day..

Spot on with your analysis Peter.

 I might add the culture war is the only weapon this discredited government have left in their armoury. They have trashed the economy, decimated public services, over-promoted their cronies and fellow travellers. and have shown quite staggering levels of incompetence. They have vacated the central ground in politics and left the field clear to a kind of tory-lite Labour party whose election offering seems to me to be 'Vote for us, we won't change very much", but at least offer a more competent government.

So the question was apart from the Rwanda nonsense (& if you choose to believe that it’s a deterrent fair enough ) what measures could be taken to better control immigration? Personally I think a proper asylum processing centre in mainland Europe (offer by the French but refused by us) and a points based entry system that looks at social, economic and willingness to integrate aspects.

…..but you do of course realise that the true hard right of the establishment have absolutely no intention of sensible controls on immigration- uncontrolled immigration is the perfect weapon to foster fear and division, to keep wages low and maintain a very useful blame or distraction culture - this shadowy establishment policy uses the charismatic likes of Farage, Robinson and Hopkins as the archetypal useful idiots to recruit a rightwing racist/ or a pro- British values (depending on ones viewpoints) following amongst individuals who don’t realise how they are being manipulated.

I read with interest that the Wellingborough Tories have just selected as candidate for the upcoming by-election, to replace former disgraced MP Peter Bone, none other than his girlfriend. It seems they have given up on serious politics and are just taking the piss now!

I don't see how Jacobs fits into this team.....

He'd basically play the same role as Mitch. Good delivery and creativity, but little athleticism or defensive cover. You definitely couldn't play both in the first XI without getting overrun.

Say this every season but what we're crying out for is pace, especially since we're more likely to be on the back foot in League One. Easier said than done as quick players that are any good very quickly get snaffled up by the bigger clubs, but we've had them before.


Agree with this. I don't see the signing of Jacobs a priority, the money should be used more intelligently.

We certainly need someone up front who could actually win a few headers to challenge Appere. A Vadaine Oliver type but someone younger perhaps.
We could also do with some real pace on the wings. Maybe a version of Eppiah but someone who is actually fit.
Also it would be good to get a natural goalscorer. Someone like Callum Morton was a couple of seasons ago.

Three strikers to challenge Hoskins, Appere and Pinnock should be the priority.

Sheffield Wednesday look a decent team. Plenty of pace and strength up front. Wouldn't fancy meeting them next year. Posh not so much.

Switched over at 2-0 to SW and saw 30 minutes of aerial bombardment the gave rise to 2 goals forcing extra time. Then having conceded in first half of extra time, they got their second wind forced home an equaliser making it 5-1 on the night and into penalties.

Great watch, better than the Newcastle Brighton game.

Just heard that Darren Ferguson had been sacked for the 4th time.

Darren Ferguson had been lined up to replace him.
11  The Hotel End / Cobblers Corner / Re: The 'Clare Balding' POTS Bradford City (h) April 29th 2023 on: April 30, 2023, 17:40:38 pm
Pinnock. Really come alive these last few games.
12  The Hotel End / Cobblers Corner / Re: Player of the season on: April 24, 2023, 08:28:34 am

Pinnock and Hoskins make the EFL League 2 team of the year, but surprisingly no Guthrie in defence.

I can't remember if I found this link here anyway, but look at this https://www.thesportsman.com/articles/erling-haaland-s-20-goals-the-last-20-goal-scorer-for-every-english-league-club

Only 6 teams of the 92 have not had a 20 goal a striker this century, and only two as far back as the 80s. (I wasn't alive when we had the last one) We're the longest suffering, and we're now just one goal away from it.

Don't forget Scotty McGleish scored 24 goals in 2005/06 season although 7 of those came in cup games.

Common sense has prevailed and Lineker to be re-instated.

He has done more for this country in the last few days than the Tories have in the last 13 years.

As Gary has just said, "We remain a country of predominantly tolerant, welcoming and generous people", and long may it continue.
15  The Hotel End / Cobblers Corner / Re: The 'Clare Balding' POTS Crawley (h) March 4th 2023 on: March 06, 2023, 13:32:14 pm
Eppiah for me too.
16  The Hotel End / Cobblers Corner / Re: The 'Clare Balding' POTS Leyton Orient (h) 2nd January 2023 on: January 05, 2023, 16:21:43 pm
Eppiah for me. Let's hope he can keep himself fit.
17  The Hotel End / Cobblers Corner / Re: Summer Transfer window on: July 23, 2022, 13:10:38 pm
 Seems an odd XI, no Fox or Bowie.
How do they fit Koiki, Haynes and Pinnock into the same side. Be interesting to see how Appere and Hylton play together.
18  The Hotel End / Cobblers Corner / Re: Summer Transfer window on: July 13, 2022, 12:17:35 pm
A bit of pace down the flanks would be good. If not Felix-Eppiah then someone in a similar mould would be useful.
19  The Hotel End / Cobblers Corner / Re: Summer Transfer window on: July 12, 2022, 17:41:19 pm
Well, I'm happy. Hope you're happy, too.
20  The Hotel End / Cobblers Corner / Re: Summer Transfer window on: June 24, 2022, 14:27:53 pm
Is Aaron Pierre still looking for a club, or is he out of our league ?
