EASY, DEVIN: English Football League and beyond, 2018/19

there is a very bad doc about these Germans at Bradford City called Matter of Heart that I would so never waste my time watching.

In which Glenn Tamplin explains that unless another Glenn Tamplin offers to buy Billericay then Glenn Tamplin will stay in charge.

Akinfenwa visits The Valley for the first and possibly last time. Will keep you all updated

haha didier ndong hasn't turned up at sunderland this season and they don't know where he is

"Ndong, meanwhile, a 24-year-old Gabon international signed from Lorient of France two years ago, last week posted poolside pictures on Instagram, though they have since been deleted"

top work

Ndong the money

I note tactics Tim Sherwood advocating the formal adoption of L1 / L2 clubs as feeder clubs to the proper real footballing organisations in the prem, on the basis that this is the only way that young English players will get the "game time" they need to improve the England team.

I don't know why no-one's thought of this brilliant idea before.

he's always likes to look at the big picture does this lad, like when he used to manage Spurs from the nosebleeds. He's gone up in a hot air balloon this time, take a holistic view of the English Game!

we've got no prospects of discovering the next Dean Windass, if we don't listen to this prophet!

Glenn does it again

In other news our miserable run continues, dumped out of the Herefordshire cup by Westfields in the first round.

Torquay apparently sniffing round Beadle. They can have him. I'll pay his train fare.

Poor old Torquay are in a right old hole - bought by a developer, their fans seem to think the owner is happy to see the club drift away down the leagues.

Watch out, Beadle's about...

to be spending a lot more time at home.

Torquay getting Gary Johnson is a show of intent, I would have thought?

Not sure how I feel about Beadle going, so many problems right now, but first real crisis he's had in three years, so surely worth giving him one chance to turn it around? But probably inevitable that we'd need to change fairly soon anyway, so maybe it's for the best. Just have to stop expecting that fourth consecutive promotion.

The above with the proviso that I don't follow the team that closely, especially this year.

For all the results were last year he was found out there to be honest - doggedly sticking to 4-3-3 even if it clearly wasn't working despite having to play 2 or 3 out of position to support it.

It was ok before when results were going our way - although often flattering 80+ minutes of negative grind - but now pretty much all the teams have cottened on to the inflexibility it's not going to work in the long run.

I accept losing to Westfields isn't on the same scale as losing to Peggy or Lads Club but to see a near first choice team overrun by a team of players nearly all let go by Beadle for not being good enough (and he was pretty much right in his assessment to be fair) proved the final straw for his inability to get anything out of the team.

Yeah the Gulls seem pleased with GJ, good luck to them.

Ryan Green as player/manager for Saturday. Gareth Davies seems to have been appointed as Director of Football, which doesn't feel like an interim measure.

After a dismal 0-0 on Saturday, this happened in the FA Cup replay last night:

1' Truro 1-0 Hereford
6' Hereford miss penalty
7' The phrase 'one of those nights' gets used for the first time
13' Truro 2-0 Hereford
18' Truro hit the bar
20' Hereford miss open goal from 6yds
24' Hereford miss open goal from 8yds
25' The words 'one of those nights start getting used every time anyone comments
30' Truro 3-0 Hereford
31' Hereford fans start talking about going home at half time
42' Truro 3-1 Hereford
60' Truro 3-2 Hereford
85' Truro 3-3 Hereford
113' Truro 3-4 Hereford

Decent goal in the Villa Wednesday game:

So much about that post is wrong, I don't know where to start. Was supposed to be the goal from the Bristol City Villa game! Christ. Anyway, if it stays that way, surely Bruce is out...

Still, decent goal.

Talking of decent goals

Yeah but it's supposedly Bruce out EBJT in which kind of like out of the frying cunt into the racist cuckolding cunt.

STEVE BRUCE faces the sack at Aston Villa after a dramatic 3-3 draw with Preston was made all the worse by a fan throwing a CABBAGE at the manager.

bloody mob (s)law!

The supporters outside looked from cabbage to man, and from man to cabbage, and from cabbage to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.

Three enforced changes in the first half hour, two of those currently in hospital. Keeper was unconscious for a *long* time.

hope nxd and spirals run out of toilet paper

Down to 8 men, knocked out of the cup by lower league opposition, no manager, no 'chief exec', bottom of the table, deep financial trouble...

Who are you talking about NBS?

FCUM innit?

Oh of course, sorry. Sounds bad.

xps oof unlucky buddy

just secured our all-time record win, on the hallowed turf of stevenage. some kid made his first-team debut at left-back and scored a hat-trick. oh the checkatrade

nice!
greatest moment of my life winning that

we beat ol forest green on pens but wont be qualifying this year

Progress: just two players sent off in today’s defeat. At this rate within a couple of weeks we’ll be finishing with 11 men.

An away draw today, and our first goal since August.

Yes. A good result? I guess better, not exactly out of the woods though.

Not sure we deserved the point, but will take it.

Good win for FCUM today although not for us.

Nuneaton Borough's imminent demise might be our best route to staying up tbh. And it's not November yet.

New manager as well (finally), though he doesn't take charge until next week.

Sounds like yet another absolute mess: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/45877754. I went there last season (for a dispiriting freezing cold defeat) and found out they'd already gone bust and reformed as a phoenix club a few years ago.

Aldo - I might possibly be going to the Hereford game on 10th November.

Nuneaton are also one of (the only?) full time club in the league hence the fredcagfng status of the players next week.

NBS - if you come then FAP?

Yep, but I'll be driving, so that'll be a shandy

good to hear that one of the resident town fans on Calendar - John Shires - took great delight in pointing out that Leeds season seemed to collapse at this time last year as well.

4 wins in a row! seem to have found a nice replacement for mcnulty in conor chaplin
former huddersfield legend jordy hiwula has grabbed a couple of goals in this run too, looking good

god imagine having to put up with McCarthy and Lambert oh wait

lol
