Can’t beat that for goals conceded, but on a more positive note, didn’t he who we’d rather not mention score for us after 17 seconds vs Mansfield at Moss Lane in a 1-0 win?

It's hard to tell which posts from you make you look more delusional.

Be nice if you could actually contribute to the discussion sometimes.


I mentioned an unsettled team. The first Torquay goal would appear to be a case in point - new player Osborne and new player Berkoe both apparently pointing the finger, in one case while the ball was still in play. Would this sort of thing happen if we had a settled team?

It would also be interesting to hear from management about Digie. Presumably they know more about it than any of us, and they must have their reasons for playing him. What is their thinking?

And just out of interest, perhaps AA (or anyone else) would like to tell me if Digie made any other mistakes after the second goal, or if it was just the one mistake in 40 minutes of football, and also say what else he did. Very difficult for me to prove anything from just brief highlights and my memories (maybe I should make notes next time if people are going to be so fussy).

Rather than being nice to hear from the management about individual players it would be incredibly unprofessional of them to do so.

Looked decent enough during his 10 minute appearance.

To be honest, I was absolutely frozen the other week V Southend. Even though I wrapped up warm, the cold weather that day still got through and buggered up my immune system. I  finished up with a very heavy cold afterwards, which after 9 days has only recently left me. Definitely brass monkey weather!

Likewise re. Southend, although I was coming down with Covid at the time just to compound the misery.

Previous coldest I recall was an away game at Macc in the early 90s. Bob Lord / Drinkwise Trophy or similar, sure we equalised very late on to bring about a very unwelcome period of extra time.

This fixture should have been switched.

Can see the sentiment, but I doubt that Southend would have agreed to at such short notice as it wouldn't have given them time to get their commercial side lined up. And that's assuming the league would have allowed it.

Absolutely. The capacity of the chequers end was somewhat more than 600 for the Gateshead game! It’s getting impossible to second guess the configuration of the stadium for the next fixture. Are the Southend seats in the inappropriately named family stand or the main stand. Do Trafford Council intend enforcing any particular dress code for the game? We’re jumping through hoops here and it’s getting tiresome.

No-one can disagree that it's all tiresome, but if the capacity and configuration of stands was under the sole control of the club then the information would have been forthcoming. If you read Bill's recent update after the Gateshead game then surely you realise (a) that's not the case and (b) things can change quickly.
If the club made repeated posts and corrections when the council changed their mind then I'm sure there'd be an equal number of complaints about inaccurate information.
I have a season ticket and expect to be in the ground on Saturday, but at this stage I don't know whereabouts. I am sure that the club will be taking steps to optimise things for home supporters.

Agree with that. The Chequers end plus a small number of seats gives them just over 1000 tickets-plus it’ll be on TV so could be a silly KO time so they’ll be fine with that. Recall seeing them play City at the Etihad on the opening day about 15 years ago and they only brought about 800, don’t think they have a historically large away support.

More of a concern (IF we get through a hard replay) is number of tickets for home support. We had 3700 in on a Tuesday night for Solihull and the home parts of the ground felt very full. Demand sure to be high. Still that’s a nice headache to put off until after next Tuesday.

When are you going to change your forum name btw?

'Sarf London' Alty has a certain ring to it.
