This time last year Scunthorpe made us look world-beaters.  They went  on to promotion to Division.  The odd game does not provide conclusive evidence of anything.

Not using him as a scapegoat but I just can't see any good in Makreth, I think he is awful.
When LJL was taken off that is when Hurst gave up.

No reality check! we was an average team in a excrement league devoid of any quality before today's game and we will remain so for the foreseeable future.


Strange that such an average team have the second most points and the second best goal difference.

Between entering and exiting last year's FA Cup we picked up 17 points from 8 games.


Interesting, but how many games did we have postponed?

It's the FA Cup, it makes teams play totally different, as we saw last season when we came so close to beating Huddersfield when had we ever looked like that through out the season, perhaps Oxford saw this as a real opportunity to go out there and show there fans what they are capable off and to try and get a good cup run going build some confidence and hopefully get a turn of luck.

Quoted from GrimRob
This time last year we became transfixed with the FA Cup and the league played second fiddle for about 6 weeks, then there was the distraction of the FA Trophy. By the time we got back on track to the most important thing we were playing catch up.


Good point I reckon Rob.

Feel free to dissect the incorrect parts. Rather than lower yourself to the lowly standards of the masses.


I didn't say it was incorrect. I was just thanking Sir Matt for his insightful post...

Sorry, and as the yoof say nowadays. 'My bad'

I should have know a scholar and gentleman such as yourself would never stoop that low 😉


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

I thought taking LJL off when he did was more about making sure we'll have him on Tuesday

He had a yellow and one moment's indiscretion and the ref could have had him off and he'd be facing a ban

You could be right though because at that point Hurst was probably thinking more about Tuesday than what was actually taking place at the time
