Is there no end to the clusterf*ck that this football club has become?


While I would agree that there have been many bad decisions this season, I don't think we can attribute this one directly at the club, one of those things unfortunately.

I wonder if Ian Holloway used his contacts to allow us to train at Bristol Rovers training ground?😉


If he has I bet he has arranged a darts match against them .

Obviously we hope for the best but should prepare for the worst. I'd prepared for relegation on Saturday and we went and bloody won!

We know how this club does things... prolongs the agony, makes us believe, and then we're kicked in the nads.

It'd be great if we could win tonight, clearly, but I see a situation where we draw and Barrow lose, keeping our faint hopes alive.

I'd say stranger things have happened... but they haven't. If we pulled this off, it'd be greater than Newport's great escape from a few years back.

A few weeks ago Barrow looked home and dry, but teams have peaked too early in the past. They've had a lot of good fortune in the sense of goals almost being handed to them through awful defending.

And Scunny... well, they're on a slide of Lincoln proportions 10 years ago. They could feasibly lose their remaining matches, given the form they're in.

All this doesn't really matter unless we do our job. I think it's a lot for us to bear, given the heavy schedule and long journeys. We didn't turn up against Morecambe until the game was lost, and that seemed a consequence of the team giving it everything against Bolton.

Really hope we do something amazing tonight but I'm also trying to come to terms with the alternative ending.

I don't know if there was ever a plan to stop in Bristol but I do know that the coach broke down on the way yesterday, incurring a 2 hour delay.


Wouldn't it be ironic if the bus had been hired from Holloways Coaches at Scunthorpe.
