Re: Hereford away

Having moaned all week I think I might have been wrong - on the evidence of our second game anyway; Salkeld could have had a hat trick, Taylors display was excellent, including some accurate kicks down the left, the penalty was very dubious and their goal was brilliant rather than reflecting poor de...

Re: Hereford away

We did well at Hereford last year so why not this season? There's a lengthy thread waiting on that one and I think we'll get it after Saturday's match.

Re: Curzon crowd

An on/off switch would have come in handy for me with some of our comedy defending. Looks even worse on the highlights. Don't think Curzon will find many teams as generously obliging. Exactly, OG reckons a cup run plus avoiding relegation could be acceptable but I don't know how you could swing tha...

Is that a reference to Aaron Beck a pioneer of CBT thinking? If he's available and fancies it he would be a real addition.

Re: Best Darlo Loan XI - Thread

I think the Olivier Bernard issue shows up the difficulty of grafting top players onto a team who are not on the same wavelength. He struck me as the kind of player you hardly ever see at our level and used to a different standard. The other players don't always pick up on what they're doing. Peter ...

Re: Make or break season for AA

I agree with the two responses to Pete's post and I'm sure there'll be more in a similar vein. The make or break bit feels like a carry over from last season. We should know by now that Armstrong is a more than capable manager who didn't turn bad after Christmas - other factors etc. well known by no...

Thanks for all that Frost stuff, he may have helped us hang on to our league status because we were terrible at times during that campaign.

Re: 20 years ago today

Playing Leyton Orient and two down at half-time then Wainwright came on to score two goals and transform the game. Good memory of a player I liked a lot. Thought Feethams looked a bit tatty that day but still think Reynolds should have spent his money doing the place up.

It would be wonderful wouldn't it?
