Love a big crowd.

Massive burger fan queue, car park fuller than usual.

Lovely vibe outside.

Come on Wednesday.

Those burger fans are often on the large side.

1-0 to The Wednesday today.

Relatively comfortable, but very nervy for the fans until the final whistle blows.

I still play every week for a bit of fun.

Didn't have a great week this week (5/7 in a high scoring week) and dropped to 14th in the league. Finished third overall last season. the numbers fell away when they stopped paying prize money, so not as impressive as it sounds.

If we get promoted I can’t see how we can push Moore out. 
 

If/when we get promoted, someone (e.g. Derby?) might think he fits the bill to get them back to the Championship and we get compensation for him. Then we could look at who might be the best available to take over.

5 - Dean Bowditch?

Kiwi beat me to it.

10 - Paul Ince

So Wigan had Mr. Tickle playing in goal? Got to be a good chance of getting a penalty there.

Boyle is a left-footed CB out of contract in the summer, so it would make sense for us to be looking. I'd prefer us to sign Gibson, but his injury record is likely to get in the way.

Looks like Bri has finally made the transition 👍

So is it Bryonycat now?

Toytown could be a trap this week - I'll gamble on Portsmouth please (still saving Wednesday for another day)

30 points thrown away pal!

OUCH!

I threw away 20 points when I dropped my correct score prediction for the Plymouth game. That would've potentially left me at the top of the table.

Your last paragraph is exactly the reason we shouldn’t give him another chance IMO, for both ours and his sakes. 

You're probably right. It's a sad fact that football fans the world over often make their minds up about a player and won't/can't change it. It can be done, but it's the exception, rather than the rule.

Assuming he goes, I just hope we get a decent fee for him and replace him with an upgrade.

I'm sure I'm very much in the minority here, but I'd give him another go in our first team.

I think his experience this season will have done him the world of good and if we don't sign an obviously better quality keeper in the summer he should be given the opportunity to show what he can do with the team he supports. If it doesn't look like it's working out we'd have to try and sell him and recruit someone better.

I fear however that the first mistake he makes would result in our support getting on his back and ruining whatever confidence he's developed this season.

MKD for me please

Played for both (old Wimbledon counts for this) 

 

Andy Pearce

Efan Ekoku

Wade Small

Paul Heald

Deji Olishaja

Urhoghide? I don't think he actually played a game for them did he? And I suppose youth team/reserve games don't count.

That's what I thought, but it only gives me the options to Report or Share.

I was able to edit this post, but not older ones.

I'm going to look a complete idiot now, but how do I edit my original post?

A,B,D,I,R,X

Oxford 2-2 Plymouth 

You've fallen into the same trap as me. You've got 7 picks there.

A, K, L, R, V, X - Z (1-0)

I didn't read it right and thought it was 6 plus the score prediction.

I'll leave out Z and go with A, K, L, R, V, X

It could be that in training we score from every corner, but it's down to our shit defending rather than our lethal finishing.

It will be a ballache doing scenarios each week but worth it.

I love this sort of thing, thanks for putting the effort in.

Wycombe please, I'll save Wednesday for another week.
