    Pre-Match Thread Rochdale; BIG game!

    After a strange performance what has this game got in store for the valiant travelling Blue fan-t-asticos? For me the back stays the same. In midfield I would start with either Murph or Strakes in place of Atko or Tims: I say this as Cokes performs better when he has a wide-man in front of him...
  2. Flexible bulk tickets?

    I was wondering whether it was worth approaching the club to see if they would be interested in offering flexible bulk tickets if the current three match mini card experiment works out well. My thinking is along the lines that full ST's and half ST's get a discount, quite rightly, for buying...
  3. BBBC - the return ??

    A draw and two wins since Baz was suspended. Like the unlucky Prosser , does he now have to sit it out and wait his turn or will PB be tempted to pair him with Loza in a 'little and large' front line ? Now I know that BBBC has cult status with some on here , but others are equally unimpressed...

    Teaching RE

    I'm ready for the banter, and have no problem with it at all, but think that this article is very interesting regarding the place of RE in our schools: http://www.tes.co.uk/article.aspx?storycode=6417096 It begins: And it goes on... I think a few on here need to really take stock of that...

    PL Cup Semi-final results now up

    The draw has just been made (in my frontroom by Mrs DoDtS): Tinks......v.......Nestudas MGH.......v.......DoDtS Ties to be played Saturday week.
  6. Did Phil miss a trick?

    Loza was fantastic the other night and proved beyond doubt this team operate better with 2 up front with at least 1 forward having pace.Oxford were pressed in their own third by the enthusiasm of Loza,I cannot understand why Phil never had Williams on the bench then at 3 0 sent him on to gain...
  7. Pace pace pace.

    Pace Pace Pace. Been saying it for ages along with many others, we needed pace up front. Boy, what a difference. A truly brilliant debut as well. Loza reminds me of a cross between Assombalonga and Richard Cadette. He was so quick he never gave the defenders a moments rest. He closed them down...

    Official Match Thread Southend United vs Oxford United

    Team line ups to follow. Can we perform in front of Sky and will the new manager hoodoo hit us?

    Moto GP 2014

    First race today, 3 Brits on the grid, including Bradley Smith starting on the front row. Proper racing, all bonkers!:Worthy:
  10. Still clinging on !

    Amazing even after this poor run we are still 7th yet the pack have now closed in for the kill with York Plymouth Hartlepool and Cheltenham ready to pounce. With Corr now suspended this has to force Phil's hand by dumping his 451 and going 442 and take the game to the opponent. I did not go...
  11. Question When will the next win come?

    Where is the next win going to come from
  12. Stubborn Phil throwing it away!

    Another defeat yet for whatever reason Phil will not change it and it's now become ridiculous . 2 months ago we looked capable of securing an auto spot but that has long since gone and now we are in grave danger of being mid table as the pack hunt us down. Game after game slips by whilst Phil...

    Time to switch it about?

    We have an abundance of midfielders and it's not working with what we have at present. Personally I would consider going 4-4-2 next week with a midfield of Hurst, Clifford, Payne and Leonard and playing Corr plus Barnard up front. It's about all we can do. I think we have been sussed out with...

    Front page of todays Echo Wed 19th Feb

    Can't link to it online but if anyone fancies buying a copy they can see what my weekend was like. The headline is "Girl Lucky to be alive after booze dare." Basically my partners eldest daughter, 16, was nominated in the facebook Neknominate thing to drink a pint of Vodka and stupidly did. If...
  15. CHEMICO FC

    Why do we revert to 5 in the miiddle and 1 up front.

    Should of left Lee Barnard on up front with Barry Corr.This cost us the game today especially bringing on Gomas when it should of been Mark Laird for a midfielder.I dont see the point playing one up front at home and 5 in the middle to hold out to win the game. Laird must start soon i think.
  16. So called strikers.

    I know I will be shot down by many of your good selves but this is now getting ridiculous as our so called forwards draw another blank,They even could not score in the midweek friendly,Phil has to take a gamble on another youngster on loan who has more success than the Fulham boy.The lack of...
  17. Dan Bentley: Will he be seen again at Roots Hall.

    After Bentleys display today infront of god knows how many scouts will Ron get an offer he cant refuse.

    Round five, first time...

    ..was in 1926, a 1-0 home defeat to Notts Forest ended our run in front of 18153.

    Pre-Match Thread Cheltenham Town

    Win tomorrow and we could be seeing ourselves at the top of the pack.. It won't be easy by all means though, Cheltenham Aren't a bad side and we seem to always struggle against these lot. Predictions? I'm going for a 2-1 win with Corr and Hurst with the goals in front on 6500. COYB

    Yodel - any horror stories?

    These people allegedly left a £900 laptop in my front garden and posted a card through my door informing me of its location. When I phoned them they said that the item had been signed for and if I hadn't received it I should contact the company I purchased it from. A quick Google seems to...
