Window Cleaner

No it isn't, they have a manager who knows what he's doing with it and a keeper who doesn't give away many soft goals that's all. Our side is mismanaged on occasions . They also have a striker who has scored 17 goals including 0 penalties.When we have that sort of potency we won't be drawing at home to Notts County or away to Hartlepool. We should have paid a lot of money for a real goalscorer in the window. Our transparency in this department is obscured by the 6 penalties and a deflected freekick in Lambert's goal count.35 games this season, 7 goals from open play, that's one every 5 games.

Statistics (45 points from 23 games) say that the team and Adkins are good enough to go up.It's our recent away record that is troubling.As long as home form keeps up and we get the odd away win and the draws keep coming then I can't see us not finishing second.If we have difficulty with Bournemouth,Brighton and Charlton away and another side shocks us at home then all may change but I'm still reasonably confident.Adkins needs to rest Ox a bit though and get the midfield right. Morgan and Chaplow,doubt if he'll do that though.

Getting us up is all that matters,we'll need better to progress after that anyway.

Yet Wilkins is still here, we really needed a clean sweep there.

Spot on, we need a striker who can score from open play on a regular basis.We also need to stop tarting about in midfield,Morgan and one of Chaplow or Hammond. Adkins has got that all wrong.

Always have been, first place hasn't been a reality since we lost 4 out of our first 6 games

We didn't lose any ground on any of our real rivals so not so bad. 9 pts from the last 6 games certainly isn't great though.

Hooper's Hooch? I saw some in the US last time I was there about 10 months ago.

I was going to say that

Bleach I guess; probably don't do hooch in Abu these days.

he's a bit of a Mary Whitehouse when it comes to rugged tackles.

Chaplow hasn't touched the ball yet according to our commentators.

Windmill Arm got banned for that under some former totalitarian regime or other.

I always thought he was quite eloquent, if only he could leave out some of his trademark clichés it wouldn't be too bad.Mind you I was hosting a bloke from Essex the other day, PhD from a good uni but he still insisted in ordering Bojolis at lunch.

Cotterill is a real rocket scientist isn't he.

Even so if he's been out with calf trouble a bog like tonight's promises to be certainly wouldn't help.I just hope Chaplow doesn't put in any more of those rash tackles.

Age before beauty seems to be one of his mottos.Except in the case of AOC of course.

Forte probably wouldn't have much effect on the quagmire that the pitch seems to be.

no Forte,no Seaborne. Dickson got a ball in the snout last week and may not have recovered.Might not have been on the bench anyway.

On the bench. NA will never play him if Hammond and Chaplow are fully fit.

That's the side, subs Shea, Richardson, Schneiderlin, Barnard, Martin, Gobern, N'Guessan.

Expected side Davis Butterfield,Jaidi,Fonte,Harding,Hammond,Chaplow,Ox Lallana,Guly,Lambert.

Pitch not in great shape apparently, puddles in the goalmouths.

there aren't any videos for this evening, not a single one,probably because the team and manager are on a 5 day road trip.
