    Only 21, he can still improve with more experience, Charlton are monitoring apparently, he would be a fantastic permanent signing for us if we had a chance. I suspect we would need to be in league 1 next season though to have a chance

    Just seen their equaliser yesterday. Lewis wasn’t impeded. He just flapped at the ball and totally missed!

    The fact we keep missing them at the other end puts enormous pressure on the defence to not let any in at the other end. Lewis has looked assured all season but now our inability to score is adding to the pressure. Nerves was a big factor yesterday in my view.

    He pulled off 2 worldly saves prior to that as we went from pushing for a win to becoming a deer in the headlights.

    Pahahaha a laughing stock, give over kev. So what happened to Leyton orient then? They went to the beach after you said “they are more professional than that” did they not do that?

    do i need to find that explanation you conveniently ignored that stated no one is saying a game will become an instant win?

    Just to remind you because either you’ve forgotten or trapped in a delusional mind view

    Kevin, I think you're missing the point. He's not suggesting they will throw the match, he's saying that like with any other team where their season has already been decided, and with nothing more to play for, it's a far better scenario for us than one where they'd be going in needing a win to seal the title and/or promotion.

    Just some of the reason(s) being;

    1 - They'll likely give younger, more inexperienced players a chance of first team football.
    2 - Some of the first team stalwarts of the season will get a deserved rest / not play as long as they would have if they had to win
    3 - Not all those first-team stalwarts on the pitch will give their blood, sweat and tears as they would if there was anything riding on it (i.e might think twice about those crunch tackles, or that extra sprint, in what is in essence a dead-rubber)

    All the above work in our favour to some degree or another, which gives us a likelier chance of winning (of course not guaranteed).


    You keep suggesting i have said things that I have never said, without a single shred of evidence.

    And sure you keep thinking the forum “has clocked me” with your 0 likes. Keep it up kev, youll be prescribed medication soon enough.

    Sentences always start with capital letters, and Wumming is double M. You keep giving me the ammunition. It’s not really too difficult. Live is such a beach. lol. See what I did there?

    So how do you know the forum has me “clocked” when you have 0 evidence for that claim? Seems like you are just saying it to offend. Its typical when people lose a debate, they just say nothing of worth just start hurling insults. LMAO

    Is it 'wumming' though?

    'Wind up merchant ming' sounds wrong - 'wind up merchant ing' sounds right. You dont spell shaming as shamming for instance.

    I can’t see Salford getting any points from their last 2 games, but Northampton is shit or bust for us as far as I am concerned. Win and we’re still in the play offs

    Hope your right Steve, but I think Salford will get at least 4 points from their last two games. The football gods are with them, losing at Wimbledon deep into injury time, miss a penalty yet still get two goals to win. Then yesterday while Harry Lewis was flapping at a corner and claiming a foul, Salford with 10 men win again in stoppage time.

    Who knows what will happen. All I know is that on our day we are capable of beating anyone in this league. Sadly we are also capable of losing to the worst team in this league.
    Hold on to your seats, things may not be comfortable.
