Exactly! Then again, I always despair at the hype and hyperbole that surrounds the England team. I too missed the game (not prepared to sacrifice my CrossFit session), but listening to Radio 5 Live after, it sounded like Germany controlled chunks of the game and missed a number of decent chances. Th...

Anybody know if Mous's contract is as player, player-coach, or coach? I assume the middle, but... Forde is one of those players who shows ability at times but who is inconsistent - although that probably applies to lots of lower league players. I was surprised about Nico Jones, but what you say make...

Not sure where this should go, but after Ruffels' less than stellar performance last night (not alone in that, of course), this seems as good as anywhere. It would appear that at least one journalist at the Nottingham Post seems pretty confident that Ruffs will be coming Trentside: https://www.notti...

Exactly the same thoughts as KY. That summed up why Blackpool are (and have been since the final play-off positions were confirmed) my favourites for promotion - clearly the best of the rest after Hull and Posh. My main concern now is how many of our better players will leave this summer - and how m...

What do I know...

After what happened on Tuesday, the way we stayed cool after Plymouth scored, kept playing our game, and created those chances for Taylor was very impressive. I shall not be following the scores on Tuesday - I suffer from anxiety as it is...

I agree with everything KY says. With that defeat, there are now too many teams needing to drop too many points for the play-offs to be a realistic target. It was an open and entertaining (for the neutral) game from the off and, after the sending off and penalty, as Eddie Odhiambo said, we lacked th...

Got to disagree about the idea of an OK start - we were seriously second best in the first half, and the first 15 minutes were far worse than in either of the two previous slow-starting matches. At least they didn't score during those opening exchanges. But hate him or loathe him, Evans got the tact...

It was similar to the Crewe game in that for the first fifteen minutes the opposition were the better team, but then once we got into our stride, we took over the game. So apparently that is ten goals from ten different scorers in the last two games. I had Rob Atkinson to score anytime at 28/1 whic...

As someone famously said, it's a funny old game. two games, 10 goals, 10 different goal scorers. After Accrington, who could have seen that? Just what did we do that was so different? And my immediate reaction to the foul on Sykes was that is was bad. On seeing the replay it looked like a clear, del...

Just one thought on Gorrin and Brannagan - and how people criticise his passing (BTW I agree with everything else here). Gorrin cannot really play the spray passes like Brannagan - but his game has mostly been about breaking up attacks then passing to someone who can. Brannagan is not the disrupter ...

For some time now, as matches have come and gone and a clearer sense of just how good we are has emerged, I have been wondering what our par league position is. I reckon it is between 8 and 10, give or take. And (hand on heart) I felt that before we went on that great run - a run, as we know, based ...

You beat me to the punch. Absolute horror shows, both...although last night I thought some of our play was closer to Keystone Cops. For as long as KR has been with us, a common criticism has been that there is no Plan B. What worries me with these two games is that KR is telling us they are not gett...

As a natural born cynic, I am always suspicious as to why issues around exactly who owns football clubs, with what shareholding, etc, are so often a matter of such incredibly tight confidentiality, up there with state secrets. But that seems to be the modus operandi nowadays. As for Thohir's Ministe...

I agree with much of what KY says, but I have to disagree with his comments about Taylor's goals. The first goal involved a sharp turn in a very tight spot and a tidy finish through the keeper's legs. The second was really well worked - the cross to the back post over a crowded box, great header bac...
