The game at Coventry will probably be the opening game and you'll be in Spain/Greece/wherever  


Haha.. that would be about par for the course! I am on holiday in August as well.. I'd be livid if it falls on the weekend I'm away.

That was the day we beat Barnsley at home in one of the few 2nd tier games not postponed for the international games. And it was Jevons who scored at Coventry (think Rowan scored the winner v Barnsley).

Strachan was sacked though.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Quoted from HackneyHaddock
We're five points off the playoffs with four to play.  We clawed back two points today.

In a way, I'm a bit angry that the previous regime gave up on the playoffs so easily and early, and started using the matches as an early pre-season, because all it would have taken would have been to hang on to our leads in the Accrington and Crawley (or any other two) games and we'd be within a point and on a run.


We are all thinking the same I am sure and I think it was the beginning of the end for Bignot when it was obvious he was not taking reaching the play offs seriously enough.

What was he thinking, and why was he thinking it?? The directors may have said 50 points or thereabouts was their initial aim, but not their sole aim surely?

His team beat Plymouth and Carlisle away, Mansfield at home so he must have known the standard wasn't great in the play off chase, so why give up? Why didn't he play a settled team and go for it? In professional sport winning is everything, so no wonder the players were a bit unnerved.

I still cannot get my head around it. His first major managerial job, in or around the play -offs when he arrived and he didn't seem bothered about reaching them. Almost as if he didn't want success except when, or until all traces of the old regime had been erased.

Only Marcus Bignot will know why he acted as he did, but it will be forever a mystery.
