Deserved nothing and horribly negative defensive performance -surely JB could see what a mare of a game Shaun was having - didn’t close his man down numerous times and distribution was terrible. Of course it was a team defeat but on the day a weak link in that position gave us absolutely no chance.

Very nice bloke and a very decent footballer - shared a few (too many) beers with him at a festival in Beckett's Park a while back and good company - very sad news.

No, BAS was pulled down... clearly a free kick to us, but no, give a corner to Dons!
Agreed I thought he was fouled but we had defending and goalkeeping to do afterwards and we did neither

I acknowledge the 'extra spend' associated with following the team. I probably spend more than most with fuel, hotels, 'refreshments' etc... but I was only talking about the one issue that is directly associated with the club and their offer to STHs.
Yes my extra spend is massive - I only manage most Saturday home games but its 100's of miles so the saving this year has been massive but I do think the 40% is reasonable - however I think the name on the shirt in return for nothing is very mean - when I read it I assumed they were offering a shirt - standard cost of which can't be more than £20. It's also a bit sneaky/clever as they know a good percentage of folk who go for that option will also buy the shirt so they get short changed twice.

Megan Markel has been exposed for the bullsh1ter she is, married 3 days before the ceremony my ar5e. There you go another reason to be happy.,
Not sure that fact lights up my day (although I agree she is a dreadful woman) but each to their own - mine is my first asparagus tips making an appearance in the vegetable patch.

Liberals always easy on other peoples money
Evers, you really are comical gold on the hypocrisy front - mere minutes before you lambast a poster for political comments (probably because it doesn't agree with your thoughts) & then follow with your own unoriginal observation.

Yeah, I've just seen it on the other thread. Brady has turned into that manager who thinks his team should play for draws and set up not to lose in order to keep pace with the pack instead of going on the front foot until the final couple of games of the season where all of a sudden we are gonna stroll to victory securing our league one position because that last part is beyond doubt. That's effectively how Curle got us up last season. What's the chances of it happening again?
Maybe the strategy will work - generally the defence does look sounder but unfortunately it’s undermined by a very average gaff prone goalkeeper

So back to topic - I see in the trust consultation process there seems to be more support growing on a priority to extend the South stand - something (and I certainly don’t claim to be the originator) I have advocated for a while now - I don’t pretend to know the costs here but extending the South and perhaps the North would I believe resonate with far more grass route support and with the right organisation could I believe raise a significant contribution to costs via crowd funding- but it needs a much broader community and local business approach.

Yes I certainly missed Andrew Neil being sacked, mainly because it didn’t happen - possibly a Daily Mail misrepresentation of the truth?
....but meanwhile the East stand still doesn’t exist and progress is not forthcoming- left or right we can all agree on that before the thread gets moved. (Although it was predominantly conservative mismanagement of the loan issue wasn’t it?)

You must have missed the sacking of Andrew Neil and Naga Munchetty having to apologise for liking anti British tweets. The BBC is riddled with the “liberal elite left” a bunch of no hopers who campaign for the working class while going home to their £5m homes in Islington on a £500k tax payers salary, don’t even get me started on Lineker who earns over £2m a year. The headline in the Telegraph said it all ....The BBC hates its viewers and the feeling is mutual.

We need high press from the off... Oxford United struggle immensely from teams who take it to them. A hesitant, sit back, Curlesque performance, sees them play from the back, grow in confidence... and we are done for! They are not taking the game too lightly!
Absolutely - the games we have impressed under JB all started with high pressure from the off - a little less disappearing up our own arse with clever tactics and more of win every 50/50 ball - if we play our remaining games cautious we will go down.

9 pts from 10 games is worse than Curle, just saying.
not really unless you are quibbling about decimal places so unless the table is wrong it’s pretty much the same as KC (just under a point a game) - KC achieved that average with twice as many games and was very unlikely to improve on that (whilst boring the arse off is in the process) - give Brady a chance.

Apparently rent a mob of anarchists and communists turned up to have a pop at the old bill, oh sorry they are called activists by the BBC, some have been arrested and will be presenting Blue Peter next week.
Bit outdated now the BBC leftie accusations - clear to see that, so fearful of a complete clear out they have become a mouthpiece of the Johnstone administration - case in point Andrew Marr who used to be a reasonable political interviewer - now anyone from the cabinet gets an incredibly easy ride when not answering the question.

That was as dire as it gets ... they've set their hearts on League 2 next season. No passion, no creativity.
It’s what we deserve, the players were poor but the tactics and team selection were clearly wrong - not over yet but likely to go down although with a bit of a shake up there is always the possibility of a promotion season (or a relegation fight) next year - frankly I’d prefer some creative play in L2 than struggling to stay up in L1

I thought the ref had a good game. Terrible team selection JB and I’m afraid without a proper goalkeeper we are never going to stay up - beaten again near post/through his legs and continued shocking kicking - how many times does he find touch when under no pressure. Having said that it was (at best) an indifferent performance from the majority today.
