I have to agree with the expectation of four points from the next three games - I would be nice to get something on the road for a change (I think I'm right in saying we haven't won away from home since beating Leicester in March last season....?) As you say, at least we have beaten a couple of...

Following our indifferent start to the campaign, I thought it would be interesting to compare our results this season so far to our results from last season against the same opposition. Due to the relegation and promotion of six teams, I have tried to keep it as fair as possible by matching...

I remember it well. I had just arrived at a hotel in Winchester. After entering our room, a couple of texts on my phone alerted me to the news. My reasonably understanding girlfriend got ready for our evening whilst I sat watching the BBC News Channel on our room's television. I then made...

For me, the reason I've always lacked a little confidence with Ashdown is his inability to collect crosses and high balls into the box - it can drop on his six-yard line and he'll remain rooted to the goal line. Having said that, he's been a good servant to the club, given the way he has almost...

I think, given the start of 15 yellows after four games, we were all understandably worried about how suspensions would affect our already limited squad. This does seem to have been addressed though, collecting only three in our last four games.

A game we should certainly be looking to win, no matter which way you consider it. Given our last two performances we seem to have a bit more confidence in the side and Doncaster are struggling to reproduce the form that kept them up last season. However, I vaguely remember feeling just as...

Has anyone else noticed that we collected no cards in our games against Barnsley and Ipswich - a feat we have not managed in any other games this season? Just saying. Our cards this season: Opponent_______(Y) (R) Middlesbrough__(5) (0) Barnet_________(3) (0) Brighton_______(5)...

I'm not convinced personally, following his record at Boro. He seemed intent on bringing in a Scottish starting 11 - most of which simply didn't perform well in the Championship. I read today the Dowie's odds has been cut to 9/2. This worries me greatly. I see him as nothing more than a last...

Glad to hear it - I'll make an effort to do the same again in future (when time permits me to do so!) <ok>

How is it actually pronounced? 'Hoos-klep'? 'Hoos-ek-lep'? 'Oosk-lep'? 'Erik'?

3rd eye - it's never the same is it? Having said that, pulsating is probably a good description for periods of last night's game. I must have missed the chewing gum incident, I dont think it was seen by many...? LFIH - Spot on. I am usually one to argue that Kanu is only good for half an hour...

I thought that, for those who were unable to attend the game, I would post a summary of the team's performance yesterday evening. First of all, I would like to say that we truly deserved the win. Although only winning by a single goal, we played well throughout and thoroughly earned the three...

Benjani wore the number 25 when he played for us previously, so I imagine it's for this reason that he has been given it again.

I always liked the 'dizzy stick' game. Two contestants would have to run around in circles with their head touching a 5 foot stick that's upright from the floor, before trying to then kick the ball that's placed on the penalty spot into the open goal. It always used to be incredibly funny...

Very well said PTID. Last night's result was certainly a disappointing one and Barnet are a team we should always be looking to beat. Having said that, the cliché 'blessing in disguise' is very apt in my eyes, given the current size of the squad. I am already fearing how the loss of a couple...
