2024/25 Football Season

Home to Exeter tomorrow afternoon. The last game in the BST period. Next week's game will be played in GMT. It's the FA Cup next Saturday only I think our game is to be played on the Friday down at Tamworth.
Good luck to all our teams this weekend. Hope they win.

Away at Crewe.
Good luck to all our teams.

Just heard some awful news.
Our mascot is aptly named Rover the dog.
The guy who has been the man behind the mascot, has died.
It must be three decades or so when he started.
A long time acquaintance and colleague of the club's matchday.
R.I.P. Mate.
R.I.P. Les.
R.I.P. Rover.

That's sad. RIP.

Anyone seen @Cumberland of late? He's not been on here for months I'd say. Hope he's ok.

Away to the table topping Dandy Dons at 17:30

Good luck to all our teams.

Ok well another 3 points fall in to our laps. 2-0 winners. All the other results in our favour. We keep 5th place. That's it till Saturday 9th November League wise. Trip to Tamworth next Friday night for the FA Cup 1st round.

Can't see it mate!
It's awful!

Pipped 1-0, though to be fair they were all over us and only our goalie stopped them for ringing up the goals.
Happy the Dons might be able to pip Rangers.

Dees got beat in the last minute, which is always good.

Maybe You should change your manager I see Ten Hag is available.

A well run business that one...

 

[johnboy412000]

Be interesting to see how Man utd fair now under Rudd Van Nistleroy while they wait for a new Manager. Carry on as they are and they'll soon be a Championship team lol . )

And a new team on top of that!

It could get worse, if......

I was thinking the same a couple of weeks ago about us but we seem to have found some inspiration from somewhere and hey ho string a couple of good performances together and sitting pretty in 5th place. We still miss chances like but that's life. I'd like to hope we'll somehow stay good for the rest of the season. I doubt we'll still be in the play offs at the end of the season but if we finish in the top 10 it will be good. In the words of the late great Jimmy Hill. "It's a funny old game is football" How right he was.

I think Saturdays performance said it all to most fans.
It was shambolic.
And the defensive shape, formation and balance was all over the place.
And we couldn't put two passes together. -ish.
And the longer the game went on, the worse it got..
The fans know it's not the best or whether we have a chance of promotion, but performance, team selection, tactics etc. It's not getting the best out of the players.

Whether it's the take over, it shouldn't, but the questions on the supporters oards, Twitter, social media etc. Is full of criticism. The fans can see it is not working.
And all we get from the club, board, manager, all say, everything's fine.
When it's clearly not.

Doesn't sound too goo mate.

Ruben Amorim is close to becoming the next permanent Manchester United manager following the sacking of Erik ten Hag.

I wonder if he'll be any good for them should he land the job. Can't do any worse I suppose lol.

I suspect he will suffer the same problems as EtH, time to adjust to new environment in a club seems lost from the top down.

At home to Motherwell so a win would be good after last weekend.

Rangers go to Aberdeen for which should be tough game all round.
Rangers announced the annual results this week, an eye-watering £17 million, The breakdown is truely awful.
Another club with problems from the top down, though in this a lot of the top jobs at the moment are to filled...

Would be good if Aberdeen win, for everyone.
