The Godfather

I think AP will sign several players during the January transfer window, at a guess he'll be looking at loans till the end of the season. Their is no point in signing players for the sake of it if they are not of the quality required.

South today & Meridian.

I think the play offs is still something to aim for but until we get well away from the relegation zone and get nearer mid-table then we should ignore it for the time being.

Ref had an average game today, got the penalty decision correct but seem to give Norwich all the half decisions. It was the lino alongside the Kingsland stand who was truly awful today.

Lambert got no real service today as we continue hoof the ball upto him. He's not really a target man in way Grant Holt the Norwich striker is. We should play of him with ball to feet where his strength is rather than the long balll against two big centre halfs where he's got little or no chance of winning the ball.

Draw was a fair result overall against one of the best teams we've played this season. I thought we just edged the first half then the we started the second half very slowly again and thats what got them back into the game. Although the second half was very good game of football we went through a phase of just whqacking the ball upto Lambert and he had no hope against those two lumps Norwich had at the back. We need to get wins in our next two league games starting with Hartlepool on Tuesday, the sooner we play like we did today against lesser teams the sooner were climb up the table. Lallana and Connolly were our best players today.

Thats because theirs live premiership games that midweek.

lol.

I don't know about us but Rovers are missing Chris Dickson & mikkel anderson plus aaron lescott whos injured. Danny coles could also be missing.

Will be in the hole in the wall at 11am.

Saints playing friday night, request from the old bill.

A few in the last couple of seasons playing at Leeds, and when Man City were down their for a season a few years back.

Saga doesn't want to be here. When has played this season he tries hard but you can tell he'd rather be somewhere else.

He was an unused sub against Gambia on Sunday in a 1-1 draw. Just look at the fifa website.

Local police moved it as soon as the fixtures came out.

He is recovering from a minor ligament injury.

Mellis is in the the squad for 9-14th October with englandu19s.

Unless its all aquare after 90 minutes.

I think all the games in this competition are 7pm start, not sure why though.

Just a reminder that the Torquay match is a 7pm kick off, not 7.45pm.

Should of got longer imho.

They are in the northern because its where the old bill want them to be. Its easy for them to police them in & out.

But its not just financial downturn, its called not being anywhere near the premiership.

They should of been down to ten men in the first half after that bad challenge on Hammond. Rovers were good in the final third, far better than we were. That and our missed chances at 2-1 won them the game.

Should be a reasonable crowd again, Rovers have soldout their initial 2200 allocation.
