Good start to the game by the sounds of it.

13 mins - zero attempts by either side. Zero corners each :)

Edit - make that 17mins

We have a corner........ (18th min) :shock:

Sloppies 0 Crawley 1 ------- Dogface working his usual magic :roll:

Coventry down to 10 men at Gillingham. From the resultant penalty it's Gillingham 1 Coventry City 0

Swindon 0 Dingles 3 now......

also Port Vale 0 Leyton Orient 1

Even a super-optimist like myself has to wonder at the fact that we're up against the team with the worst defensive record in the League, and yet after 37 minutes we've managed 2 attempts on goal (neither of them on target)... and one of those was from an Andy Butler header!! :evil:

Just before half-time, we have Peterborough 1 Bristol City 2

Half-time and it's 0-0. Does this mean we can have a planned Plan B rather than a panic Plan B ????? :?

smith will know all the half time scores, this second half is his chance to prove he's not a yes man.
how many chances does he want?
has he been told we can't go up?
only richard money had the balls to say bonser has no ambition.
grow a pair smith, speak up.

I believe it is whatever Smith isn't doing until he then does it and then it isn't anymore. (Think signing of target man to come off the bench as a recent example)

Predictable and slow.
Spending more time passing it sideways and backwards than doing anything of use.

This is dire. This isn't just poor form, something has happened behind the scenes. The players just ain't trying, they're going through the motions

If we aren't careful, soon we'll be nearer to relegation zone than play off zone. :(

We have 'award winning kitchens'. Just need an ' award winning attack' to go with them.

You said it my friend! I did say earlier that they would beat us, this is the height of embarrassment, I've not felt this 'down'
for a VERY long time, was going to Rothrum on Saturday, but I'm having second thoughts, it will be a massacre!! :(

No joke this is dire. Haven't made their keeper make a save yet.

Players playing at walking pace, almost like a friendly

There's matches where we get outplayed, there's matches where we get outmuscled, this is different, they just cannot be bothered, and I think you gotta ask the question why, what's gone on for such a change in attitude
