    We always used to struggle against Park Avenue @Bronco@Bronco . Even when they were really terrible and would lose 5-1 to our rivals they used to raise their game against us. Fortunately no message boards in those days.

    I’ll be there +2. After watching Orient Carlisle and Colchester I do wonder why - yep all 0-0.

    With our midfield woes, maybe Cooke will be healthy (if thats why hes been out?) to start? He's the 3rd most accurate passer this season and with Reeves playing far off of his potential at the moment (injured for 2 seasons and thrown in to the starting line up, I don't particularly blame him), it's probably for the best

    It would be nice to see what Devitt can do scored a decent amount for Carlisle last season and plenty of assists as well

    Was just about to post something similar. He's lauded as a player who can unlock defences, something we're lacking at the moment. I'm disappointed he's not come off the bench in the last 2 games. Definitely time we see what he can do.

    I'm going positive for Saturday, comfortable 2 0. Doyle to break his duck

    Bowyer will play this safe looking for the away point. Yarn yarn ‘pick up points away and win at home’, we are in the playoffs- for now.

    anyone looked at travelling by train , stupid amount of time to get there with multiple stops. You can get to London quicker.

    True. Especially away from home.

    We were Evens to beat Scunny at home and I gladly lapped it up. Ruined a nice little acca :-(

    We were 3/1 last night and, not learning my lesson, went in again.

    Unless its ‘draw no bet’ now with Bowyer I’m not interested.

    Im not even interested with thr draw no bet option. We're too hard to work out and given the inconsistency we always seem to be shorter odds than we'r should be.

    Best not to back us at all, aye. Avoid’s sods law.

    Plymouth are tempting at moment. Took 9/2 outright and evens top three earlier. They score goals and look to actually beat teams.

    Let down on BTTS in last night's game for a few quid. City drifting further (41/20) and 2/1 now freely available, with the draw shortening.

    A leave for me, too.

    Had a bit of Scunthorpe at 13/5 on Saturday. Overpriced against my tissue. Doubled up with QPR.....

    Well we've got an early contender for the strangest post of the year right here.

    Mansfield BOTTOM of the L2 home table so far this season... we really must be picking up all 3 points. I believe Morecambe was our last away win? Not good enough for a side chasing promotion.

    Mansfield, Cheltenham H and Oldham within a week of each other, it's a good chance to build some momentum. FFS Bowyer GO FOR IT :@/:@/

    Can't really comment about last night because I didn't go. But Bowyer sets the team up not to lose, defend, punt up field, lose the ball and defend again. at least he keeps it simple.

    Can’t help thinking he is another one we are expecting too much from, he has gained the bulk of his league appearances in the basement league with Morecambe and Carlisle, that should tell you enough.
