It isn't any better than Hoskins and Smith. Apart from Grimsby Bogle has been an expensive failure at two clubs sonner Oxford than us! Matty Taylor is now nearly 40yrs!

Oh Evers... That was a joke, right?
(Two Matty Taylors, there's only...)

...And when we signed that little winger that couldn't even get a game in Pompey's floundering L2 squad.

Turnbull struggled in L1 for Coventry didn't he?

Not sure (either way, we signed him off the back of it!), but he definitely struggled in L1 for Northampton.

A check of the Lactics forum confirms he was the one out of contract player they wanted to keep (76% did).
Prone to a mistake and not really kicked on as they hoped, but seems he turned in a masterclass vs Fulham. One or two commented that he was played too far forward this season, as his strength is in a more defensive midfield role, which is presumably exactly what we want... Younger McCormack.

Why do people think Goode will be off to Derby or Wednesday? You know, the two clubs that really can't spend any more money right now. That stupid rumour site could have at least done some research.

Plus, is he really in that class? Wayne Rooney, Barry Bannan, Curtis Davies, Dominic Iorfa... Charlie Goode. If I were Gary Monk and assuming I'd ever even heard of Charlie Goode, personally I'd want to see how he goes in L1 first, whilst worrying that I can't spend any money but currently have only ONE striker (who no longer scores) on the books for next season.

Why does Goode have to take all the throw ins? So predictable!  Grin

2-0 is a dangerous scoreline  Embarrassed Undecided

Have a read of some of the comments post-match of the first leg  Grin Grin Grin

Wem-ber-leeeey!

Admittedly I appear to be on my own, but I thought we were a bit unlucky. Not enough quality, but it could have been very different if we converted the penalty or a few refereeing decisions were correct.

2-0's a horrible score to defend sometimes and home advantage is far less of an advantage without fans. We'll give it a right go on Monday.

(Nowhere near good enough for L1 though, I agree with that. I think we've got good defenders, I like them all, but my goodness we've conceded some terrible goals, and it costs you in the end. Not many get promoted with a leaky defence.)

Any referees in? Clarification needed please. I thought that unless it was a leg breaker, the guidance now was to avoid a double punishment and issue a penalty and a YELLOW?
111  The Hotel End / Cobblers Corner / Re: FA Cup 2019-20 on: January 18, 2020, 20:40:07 pm
Odd that so many STHs wouldn't want to attend.
Maybe they bought other seats with part-time supporter mates.

We play shìt football very well.

That's it.
Combined with that, we don't play fluid passing football as brilliantly as some make out.

Yes, we can play decent passing football at times, but not consistently.
A) We're in League Two, not the Spanish top flight.
B) Other teams, Crewe, Plymouth.... are better at the passing on the deck game. If we play them at their own game there is only one outcome - we lose. We beat them, and I found that very favourable compared to playing pretty defeats.

I'm happy to leave playing the beautiful game the beautiful way for another day. Right now, I spend 90minutes wishing we were playing better, but the rest of the week buzzing that we're genuinely in the (automatic) promotion race, bagged another 3 points, scored 4 goals including a worldy, and have Rooney & co coming to teyn.

Bring it on!

I think every player had a shout for MOM but what about Scott Wharton again, cool, composed and makes football look easy, just don't tell Blackburn!

Blackburn did just fine today without Wharton.

I'm going to mention their No 19 again. Looked a class above league 2.

Credit to Morecambe for going 3 up top at 0-3 down. A lot of teams would shut up shop and avoid a battering, but they went for it, got 1 goal and it was working, leaving us 3v3 at the back frequently. The 2 goal recovery at their place came to mind. But good tactical nouse from Curle switching to a back 4. This neutralised the threat and allowed us to totally boss the rest of the game.
114  The Hotel End / Cobblers Corner / Re: Morecambe or Wise? on: January 18, 2020, 14:57:00 pm
Their 19 Carlos Mendes Gomez is running the game. Luckily he's not got anyone with him. We were second best for a fair bit of that so mightily relieved to be 2-0 up.
115  The Hotel End / Cobblers Corner / Re: Cheltnum (h) 29/12 on: December 29, 2019, 13:22:37 pm
I can't figure out today's formation at all. 1 central midfielder? Or Turnbull in midfield, but then the defence seems lop-sided. Hopefully the opposition as as baffled as me.
116  The Hotel End / Cobblers Corner / Re: Port Vale 10/08/19 on: August 08, 2019, 18:50:28 pm
All well and good, and I think Turnbull is decent there too, but it'll be Watson that replaces McCormack on Satdee.
117  The Hotel End / Cobblers Corner / Re: It's All Cobblers To Me Podcast on: July 30, 2019, 18:40:30 pm
He's from the county you know. Unlikely, I believe he is in jail for tricking people into thinking he was a qualified lawyer. Glad none of us fell for that one  Huh?  Oh, plus a couple of other minor bits like,

"nine counts of obtaining a money transfer by deception, eight counts of fraud, three counts of acquiring criminal property, two counts of using a false instrument, one count of attempting to obtain a money transfer by deception, one count of obtaining property by deception and one count of using criminal property."

I'm sure we knew all that ahead of our talks though with NTFC's fabled bullet proof due diligence.

Good job he doesn't still post on here under another name.

As we know, relegation hang overs are horrid and hard to brush off. We have fresh enthusiasm - Walsall less so. Think we'll chalk up a win and get off to a flyer.
119  The Hotel End / Cobblers Corner / Re: Mk on: July 26, 2019, 18:17:27 pm
Still a winger short aren't we.

Anyone heard any update on the car park? Will it be open this season?
