Tbh the only reason we probably kept Widdowson was his special friendship with Akpra-Akpro. Even went to Rochdale together.

The way some people go on it’s as if the team who win the league this year will have done so by mistake. I must’ve missed how every other club miraculously avoided the impact of COVID and we’re the only ones who have caught the bad end of the stick with it.

From being the best run club in the division, capable of surviving a year without any fans coming through the door, it’s now suddenly beyond the pale to expect a better show than 2 wins in 9, and everyone should be grateful we haven’t gone out of business.

Same low expectations and lack of ambition every season, seeping down from the boardroom through the fan base now.

"special friendship" is open to some interpretation...


Oh, is that why we keep getting shafted by the Yanks!


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.

For all my might I want to argue your point. But I fear there is a harsh truth about your some of your points. Long way to go yet though.

Quoted from Rodley Mariner
Who are the players signed who are 'clearly not good enough'? I would say Spokes, Jackson and Sisay have been signed with an eye on the future but beyond that I would argue nobody has shown they are clearly not good enough to play League 2. Some combinations haven't worked, Gibson looks raw, Bennett looked off the pace bit completely writing them off at this point in the season is ridiculous.


I’m not one for singling people out but I think at least one of the younger loanees need to add a lot to their game to become L2 standard.

Big spending Mansfield and season favorites Bolton are tearing up the league, hang on just looked at the league table.
Just looked at the league for the season 2018/19, Bury finished second and Macclesfield 22nd, no longer in existence.

Judging after a few games, means nothing, I remember people moaning last season after we draw 2-2 with Colchester who at the time, were 2nd from bottom, look were they finished the season.

They is a fine line between success and failure, even more so this season.

We this season are playing the surival game and this has been stated by the club, while others may not.

The whole logisitcs of running a football club, during Covid-19 must be a nightmare for everyone involved.

"I Counted Them All Out and I Counted Them All Back" by Brian Hanrahan on the reporting of operations during the Falklands War in 1982.

Hopefully all football clubs will survive, but I am not sure, how many can, without fans returning. Which looks unlike.

Have a look at the final standings at the end of the season and if Grimsby Town are placed in a position, its been a good season.

I've read your post twice and still don't get the Brian Hanrahan reference.

Are you posting on the Fishy and simultaneously posting on a chatroom about 80s TV history and got the 2 mixed up?
