We have turned another corner. Unfortunately they were both ninety degree corners so now we are heading the same way as before, which is out of the league.
Utterly abject. Everyone below us has taken points off us, and have been far better than us when we played them. Even if Nuneaton go under, we will benefit less than the sides under us so we really need them to stay afloat. Grim stuff.

Hopefully get rid of the Dymock mafia, whether someone would leave a club at this stage of the season is doubtful so you'd have to be looking at someone currently out of work (e.g. Gary Rowett) or get the Davies/Green partnership back in to try and steady the wheel.
Lots of clamour for Beadle/Jenkins back as expected but them not being able to find another job since - and not even making the Gloucester shortlist - is telling. And holding up Billericay as an example of returns happening before just makes the club sound like a basket case.
We're desperate for a striker and at the weekend I was advocating an old pro, inspired by Jamie Cureton doing a job on us more than once last season. Then today I find Pascal Chimbomba is to play ever further down the pyramid.

A decent experienced striker can do quite a lot for keeping the team shape together also. There is something slightly tragic about watching one take up a really intelligent position for a particular ball, see the move work as anticipated and then just not have the turn of speed to get there. Cases in point: Clinton Morrison, Marcus Stewart for us. They were both worth the shirt but a tiny bit of extra pace and they'd have been worth a shirt for much better sides than ours.
― Tim, Monday, 21 January 2019 14:16 (five years ago) link
IIRG Cureton is the last current professional footballer to have been in FIFA 96? Or one of the last?
Hope yr board makes a good choice.

congrats on the Dalers on re-signing their fave professional wrestler Grant Holt. I hope they've made sure he can run the width of a pitch within 90 mins.

him and Lambert were a reet formidable strikeforce at Dale back in the day, maybe time to get the (big) band together - if only just for comedy value.

Someone has suggested it would be highly unethical to farm out Depoitre to a L2 club, so instead couldnt we just farm him off to a farm instead.

A win for Hereford tonight. FC Utd now second from bottom, six points away from getting out of the relegation zone to a team with two games in hand, or eight points to a team with one game in hand. Not looking good.

I am struggling to believe how we are pulling clear when we are so fucking dreadful. Our goalscorer on Saturday said in the press conference he didn't mean it.

FC United started today second from bottom and 9 points from safety, off the back of four consecutive defeats (and having lost 8 out of the last 9 games). With 15 minutes to go, we were 3-1 down at home against the team 5th from bottom, looking as dead and buried as you can be. It's just finished 3-3. Probably nowhere near enough, but...

Don't know whether it belongs here or Real England but I stayed in the hotel at Bramhall Lane on Friday night and we left before 10 to get back for our match. As we checked out some Blades fans were already in the bar getting a beer in before the Rotherham game. Feels slightly admirable in a completely wrong way.
