The wind and rain is absolutely horrendous here at the moment.

I’d think there’s a chance of the game being in doubt?

Be bloody typical if it’s called off when the exiles are in town.

ROD/Eastwood
at 08:50 5 Feb 2023

There are so many rumours flying around regarding this situation at the moment including:

A clause in ROD’s contract where if he plays another game/gets another clean sheet, his contract becomes exponentially more expensive.

Eastwood has a clause in his loan where he has to play every game as a caveat for Sheff Utd paying all or the large majority of his wages.

ROD has fallen out with Bentley in some capacity.

Eastwood has uncompromising pictures of the gaffer.

A combination of one or more than of the above.

Can anyone clarify this situation or give any credence to any of these theories? It’s really hard to stomach at the moment as Eastwood is a young lad and I do feel sorry for him. But if we were to kick on now and only go down by a few points, you could certainly argue that the decision to bring him in and put him straight into the team will have cost us our league status.

Don’t get me wrong, ROD was very poor before Eastwood came in (and I think a lot of people are forgetting this). Both are absolutely glued to their line with no command of their area and ROD conceded two identical free kicks before he was dropped (both of which he could have saved with a bit of nous).

I am at a loss as to how we have identified Eastwood in the first place tbh. I know he’s been here before but he hardly played so we can’t be judging him on that spell. And he has very little FL experience in his career. I can’t think of any telling links we have with Sheff Utd so it doesn’t make sense on that front either.

One of the luckiest teams/managers in recent memory
at 22:55 22 Mar 2022

We won’t go down this season. And that is because there are at least three absolute gash teams that are worse than us.

But how long do we give it? Stockdale will be with us at the start of next season. But how long do you leave it? Does anyone have faith that he will actually come good? With experienced managers who have at least had a modicum of success, there’s always that lingering feeling that they can replicate something. But Stockdale is new, untested, unproven. Our current form taken into next season would see us scrapping from the very start. At what point do we say enough is enough?

The fact that we brought Campbell off and replaced him with Newby when we have a perfectly “good” striker on the bench (who we paid £ for) is probably the last straw for me. I can’t fathom that logic. It hurts my brain. It’s becoming a chore to go now. Do we need to see a drastic reduction in the sale of season tickets for the board to consider a change? Where is the proverbial straw here?

Our Midfield…
at 17:23 2 Oct 2021

Is dogsh!t. Morley has gone backwards and needs to be dropped quicker than Jose Aldo. Dooley isn’t a CM and needs playing in his rightful position or dropped (preferably the latter). Grant and Kelly must be wondering what they have to do to start a game. There’s absolutely no link from defence to attack which was perfectly demonstrated by EOC acting as an advanced playmaker at times. Pretty pathetic when your captain and most dominant CB has to take the game by the scruff of the neck because our midfield pairing don’t have the nous, talent or bollocks to do so.

A lesson in how to burgle three points
at 17:40 19 Sep 2015

We were horrendous today.

Scunny were absolutely all over us first half and we were lucky to go in level at half time.

I'm not harbouring any hopes of us finishing anything better than half way but if we are to 'piss into the playoffs' like the deluded idiots that sat near me today then we have to make wholesale changes to the squad.

McNulty nominated for player of the month?

OK pal.
