I think a large part of us wanting to play was because McAtee was suspended.


Which in itself indicates what our problem is.

Interesting. There appears to be a mood shift in the last week or so regarding the importance of results for a football club.

Given the Covid impact on the club in the last few days, I’m surprised we played. Listening to PH interview, I don’t think he wanted to. In turn, this has heaped more pressure on after what was, after all, a pretty unimportant fixture.

Yesterday’s result wouldn’t have mattered if the current direction of travel wasn’t so bad.


Contrary to PH’s beliefs. We are not the only club affected by Covid/injuries. It’s at all clubs and is not a reasonable defence.


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'

Can't believe we invested in Scotch Eggs instead of a striker.


At least the owners did that intentionally though. The old owner would have signed scotch eggs instead of Scott Chegg - a 35 goal striker.

Looked to me like the old owners only did things when they were forced to, levelling of the humps, lowering the floodlights etc.

At least the new owners are trying to progress the club.


When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

And not even good Scotch Eggs but those horrible mini things that don't even have proper egg in them. And he'd have told us half drunk at 3am whilst perched on a snooker table and said it was our fault.

So, its no surprise that as a technology entrepreneur, Jason Stockwood is all over Twitter, and he enjoys giving his opinions..


As you seem to be in the know, are all 300 million Twitter users "Technology Entrepreneurs" then or have you just picked one who happens to own a football club?

It's not his belief though is it? I wonder how many managers yesterday having decided on a team on Friday (on the back of some cases of Covid) then had to change tack when more cases came out on Saturday morning.


The aim of argument or discussion should not be victory but progress.

There’s football clubs all around the country with Covid cases. Some decided to play, some were forced to play and others cancelled. We may or may not have decided to play to get another non McAtee fixture out the way. Who knows? But let’s not make out that it’s just us.

In fairness, PH quite clearly says in his post match interview that its affecting every club. So he's not the one who is using it as a "town only" problem.
