  1. Now 3 points ahead after Bury. still 2 points to the good after scunny
  2. i thought he said contracts which struck me as odd as although I don't know the ins and outs of the loan system I would have thought they had contracts with their parent clubs and not us and that we had an agreement with their parent club. I was also surprised those talks had started so early if they were just about extending loan periods. And Wellans said that with the way they were playing they would obviously attract interest from elsewhere. He singled out Byrne as someone who he (RW) had showed faith in when his career was going nowhere and that he hoped Byrne would pay this back.
  3. interesting that Moisley said negotiations had started already in extending Byrne, Bryan and Doyle's 'contracts'
  4. Tangerine shirts, blue and white collars and cuffs, Keith Bebbington, Coln Garwood, Tommy Bryceland. Glory days
  5. Maybe I should have qualified it by saying that my mate is notoriously one eyed. Let's hope your mates are better judges.
  6. First league game against someone below us as well. My mate is a Bury fan and says they have been playing well and have been unlucky. They had more shots on target than Southend on Saturday and hit the bar. I don't think they are going to roll over as easily as we might hope.
  7. Before every season I set down how many points we should require for the play offs and then make a suggestion as to how we might get them. I know too much time on my hands and I've normally lost interest by now.This year I went for 72 points as I thought the league is more even than last year. To get to that total I went for 20 wins 12 draws and 14 losses. I then had a punt at how that might look against the teams we had to play, and ended up with no points ( I.e. Lose home and away) - Wigan, Blackburn one point ( I.e. Draw home lose away) -Bradford, Peterborough, Scunthorpe , bury three points - Rotherham, Charlton, Oxford,Portsmouth,Southend, Walsall four points - Blackpool ,Fleetwood, Bristol R,MKD, Wimbledon, Rochdale , Plymouth, Doncaster six points- Northampton,Gillingham, Shrewsbury obviously my my assessment of bury and Shrewsbury has gone awry but if you look at how I've specced it out we are currently one point ahead of where we need to be to get 72 points. Happy days? Still a point ahead after MKD
  8. Agreed. I wouldn't have considered him when Sheridan left but the evidence is incontrovertible. We are entertaining, making chances and scoring goals and there is a real commitment in the side. He has made some key selection decisions and has shown he can change tactics mid game and make appropriate substitutions. If he gets it we'll probably lose Saturday but he deserves the chance.
  9. we have played 10 out of the top 12 (half) and not played any of the bottom 7 yet.
  10. that clarifies it then, thanks. he seemed to be very involved
  11. Yes I saw that. Wondered initially why the flag was hanging over the fence at the oppo end before realising that it was a graphic!
  12. Didn't think it was but it might have Been as I was in the lookers
  13. Has scholes been brought in on a contracted or voluntary basis.? Who was the tall dark haired guy in the technical area?
