I watched it too. Despite that good first half yet another loss and I will be shocked if they don’t go down. Would happily sign Kofi Shaw off them, the young kid looks to have loads of potential.

I wouldn't mind Rual Sotiriou, I always thought he was ok at Leyton Orient.

I'm currently watching the Bristol Rovers v Reading game on Sky + and at half time it is 0-0. Reading are half asleep, if it wasn't for their goalie they could be 2/3 down, although they did hit the post in the 2nd minute. How on earth their tall No 9 is playing at L1 level I do not know, he has been hopeless as he was against us, and the other lad Wareham is no better. I'm glad we don't need Rovers to lose this for us to stay up as it looks at the moment they will win.

This thread is quiet, is everyone still in bed? Anything could happen today, it depends how much the players want it. If we had needed to win the match I am sure we would have, but now I'm not so sure.

Hopefully KN will put out the strongest squad available, doubtless someone will have cried off since the Shrews game.

We owe it to Burton and Bristol Rovers to try and win this one.

Costello - one of the best strikers I've ever seen play for us. I predict that he will comfortably be a championship player in the next 12 months and score plenty of goals at that level. If of course he stays relatively fit.

Agreed, he reminds me of Morton when we had him the first time round.

We need Taylor permanently trouble is with his form for us other clubs will be looking at him

I should think Charlton will want him.

Costelloe for me. I can see the lad having a bright future.

7 goals in 13 is a cracking return

I think it's 6, but you're right a good return. Would love him back next season, but I reckon Burnley will want to loan him out to the Championship.

Good win and we're now safe. I blame Burge for their goal, why the hell didn't he catch the ball instead of scrambling it away for a corner. Such a shame to concede at that late stage.

We'll give 'Hosk' as long as  possible, he does realise there are only three games left? I would play him if at all possible against Shrewsbury and if we win and Rovers lose then he can be left out in the last two games if necessary.

No Eaves for sure too, and probably no Hoskins either......

So Eaves missed the start of the season, he's now going to miss the end of the season and he's missed two chunks in between. He's been a complete waste of time, and we have him for another season.

I said before the match I would be happy with a point and that's how it panned out. Neither side really threatened the goal although Reading should have scored just before the end which would have been harsh. Roberts nearly knocked their goalie, who had a good game, into the net with his shot, the ball could have gone anywhere.

NGW was an idiot pulling their player back, I knew straight away what was coming after that, surely he knew he'd already been booked. It wasn't even anywhere near the goal, luckily for him it didn't cost us the game.

We have options at left back for the Charlton game but Taylor will be a big miss as we have no other midfielders except Hondermark who is going to have to step up. A point in that match would be a good result.

Luke Mbete.

Boss,
Can you please consider adding Terry Branston as he was a true Centre Half and no messing!
Thanks and regards

Branston is the best centre half I have ever seen for us but he's outside the time frame our host has set and it's unlikely many on here would have seen him play.

1) Ian Sampson

2) John Guthrie

3)Kelvin Langmead

It is insane to me that something like Bohemian Rhapsody is now 50 years old, which probably says more about how old some of us are getting! 

I can remember catching a bus into town on a Saturday to visit John Lever at the bottom of Gold Street and buying both 'Will you love me tomorrow' by The Shirelles and 'Please Mr Postman' by The Marvelettes both in 1961. They are now 64 years old, 14 years younger than me !!!!! We didn't really buy albums in those days.

Left back

1) Danny Jackman
2) Liam Davis


Right back

1) Luke Chambers
2) Aaron McGowan

KN says "we lost Tyler Magloire a couple of days ago" so unless he's passed away, I guess he's injured yet again!

Cannot wait for the season to end when we can release absolutely everybody who's out of contract & start again...

I agree we need to get rid of as many players as we can, with one or two exceptions, and start again with a blank canvas. My only concern would be that if we signed, say 15 players in the summer, 10 would be injured before the season starts.

Keith Welch is no longer considered modern day

Welch would have been my first pick if he had been an option.
