Oi Udderers?

What happenened?

I didn't go because it was a certain three points for your lot. We've done the double over you, reet odd.

That Ritchie bloke has some lame excuses, does he ever utter the words "Fair cop, they were better than us over 90 mins so deserved the points"? According to him your players are sick on a regular basis. What a numpty, I had him down as a straight talker.

Never mind lads, 2008 will be a fresh new start.

Have a look next door Raphe

We're not happy

1st 25 minutes usual scrappy stuff as teams try to get the upper hand, next 20 minutes we batter you senseless, Go in at half time 1 up

Second half, come out and try to defend a 1 goal lead for 45 minutes! When we finally and inevitably concede a goal, instead of making a few changes, Numptybollocks Ritchie decides to sit back and defend a draw. Once you scored the second it was all over.

Oh dear

Miche, all I can say mate is the seen games we played up to Dwc 8th we lost six and drew one scoring one goal. After the 3-0 humiliation (it should have been eight or nine) at Swansea that I was dumb enough to attend on a tuesday night at their place the players have been unrecognisable and have won two, drawn two (Carlisle home and Forest away where they scored a 92nd minute equaliser) and lost one. It's a really tight league. We are seven points off relegation and yet only eleven off Forest in second place. All you need is a run of five or six decent results and you will be back on the verge of the play-offs.

Having said all that, reading some of the stuff next door it does seem to a neutral that your fans expectations might be a little high. I was at the game at our place and you looked a poor side. If you are losing home and away to Northampton I would say you probably need a season or two of consolidation before making a push for the Championship.

As for us, if we manage to avoid relegation this season it will be the first time in our history we have managed to stay in a division above the fourth for more than two seasons. Oh how I wish we could consolidate in div 3 for another five or six seasons, we just might be able to make a push on the Championship then but we would also need a bigger stadium which the council seem determined to not let us have.

Anyway mate, I'm sure you will get an upturn in the new year.

Very few gave credit to the cobblers where it was deserved. How you held out as you did in the 1st half and took your chances well etc.

Expectations - doesn't every team in this league expect promotion because everyone else is shit?

[ralph2]

You're a good man Hugh.

You are certainly right about the amount of shite being served up in this division mate. We have played teams who are obviously having bad days (Forests second half performance against us was as bad as any I have witnessed) consistency seems to be the biggest problem in this league, baring Leeds of course, which means I will be even more dissapointed should we drop out come May.
