I won't be happy (perhaps 'happy' isn't the right word) until we're past 50 points. Obsessing about the playoffs while languishing in the lower reaches of mid-table and not dealing with the potential issues in front of us is a recipe for disaster, as so many clubs have found out in the past. I expec...

My last post suggested that we've been on a gentle downward trajectory since the capitulation against Wycombe at Wembley three seasons ago. This has now become a plummet. There's none of the entertaining, if a little naive football we've enjoyed in the last few seasons. Instead we have dull, unprodu...

I'm absolutely fed up with the same mistakes being made in every transfer window. Robinson himself admitted after the Blackpool playoff defeat that we needed more power in the side, and has done absolutely nothing to sort that. Instead he continues his obsession with signing injury-prone forwards at...

This has been on the cards since we failed to strengthen the defensive midfielder and defending positions in the January window. This is the second season in a row that Robinson has got it wrong when choosing his mid-season reinforcements; it’s particularly galling that his two marquee January signi...

So many magical Joey moments to recall... his winner in the 1992 Tranmere Miracle Relegation Avoidance Game... his redemption goal and subsequent celebration in front of a Cuckoo Lane end full of Robins (who have been *so* dignified in their expressions of sympathy and support since the news broke -...

I still have slight reservations about Seddon, and big reservations about our lack of full-back cover generally. I had an interesting chat with the people around me last night whether Ruffels would get in the side this year and we all agreed that Sedds is definitely an upgrade. Completely agree tha...

Sheffield Wednesday sign Marvellous.

What a great feeling it is to be wrong.

The strangest omissions from that team for me are Mallik Wilks and Sirike Dembele, both of whom have been pivotal in their respective sides' promotion campaigns (I can't see Peterborough stuffing it up now).

And the Bicester Cafu of course...

Well it's not mathematically impossible, but I'd say it's highly unlikely that we're going to win enough games to sneak into a playoff berth now - particularly as our form over the past 13 games has been every bit as bad as that of our first 13. Our biggest failing this season has been insufficient ...

That was fantastic. Helps that you chose probably my favourite ever season of course (only 83/84 comes close!). Just a shame that there's no footage of that Rosie screamer against Chelsea. I have a feeling I'm going to watch that many times over. Thank you for a little ray of light amongst the preva...

We definitely need a big old beast with a load of lower league experience somewhere in the back four to shore it up. Just someone to put a rocket up the rest of them. I said to anyone who'd listen before pre-season that we were a pair of full backs short of a really decent side, and that we'd need t...

A lot of sound analysis in Ty's post and I've also been doing my best to move on from Monday however much it hurts (still think the Exeter 2007 hurt more though). Agree with KE about goalkeepers. I think Easty would benefit from some proper competition. I think Mous is more likely to be a bit-part p...

That's the thing that saddens me most - that we'll now see the break-up of the best squad we've had in years. All the big moments - Eastwood's foot turning the ball in, Henry's one-on-one, Browne not chasing down that short backpass, Moore's *one* defensive error - all worked against us. Absolutely ...

Whatever happens tonight, it's been a wonderful - and somewhat unexpected - season. So many moments to savour: 10 goals in two games, for instance - four of them against West Ham, including a goal from Shandon that can only be described as utter filth; a great draw at St James' Park, followed by a r...
