Statement win that needs backing up week in, week out, make top 3 a priority until its mathematically impossible.

Chasing the money no doubt. Give him an average budget and he's a lower mid table manager. Give him a few quid and he'll get to the play offs but never get you the big wins when it matters.

A bang average manager who I maintained from the start would not get a bigger club than BUFC to manager at any level.

First half lacked any quality and Town grew into it. Harry Limb could've won it when he went through.

One of the penalty misses in the shoot out has to be a contender for worst penalty at the JCS.. hit the North Stand roof!

That's not difficult, its only a couple of foot higher than the crossbar.

I was sat about 6 rows behind the Old Phat Wah at Posh that night, as per usual his behavior was pretty unpleasant, spending the evening barking and grunting orders at the hapless Paul Raynor while all the time disputing every decision.
Fairly standard behavior for a charmless oaf I'd say

Should just about be okay if they can cling on.

NLS should be won at a canter by Yeovil, who've managed to arrest their long decline and sort out their back field issues. Frustrating to see a basket case like them bounce straight back while we've been stuck here for years and years...

And they have been in a complete mess for a decade, one season in the Championship really put them on a slippery slope.

I keep thinking perhaps our slow and steady approach is the best way, then I see no tangible improvement and think we're marooned here for another decade at least.

All I can say is if we get to the play offs lets not get promoted, this lot would be the equivalent of Burnley and The Blades in this season's PL.

Defensively all over the place, we'd be bullied in every game because we're a small team, it'd certainly be a one season National tour.

I enjoyed the day out though, we never really looked in any danger even at 4-3 you knew if we got the next goal we'd probably get 6 or 7.

And a shout out to Gloucester pubs - in what realm of reality is it acceptable to charge £7.15 for a pint of pale ale?

Reece Thompson wasn't exactly a role model either, although he'd not committed any offence before he joined us or during his time here

allegedly.....

Although some of us have been in the groundcare industry for well over 2 decades but lets not stop some of you having a cheap pop eh...... I've enjoyed blocking the usual blow hards and brain deads over the last few days and will no doubt block more tonight.

I've made a point of apologizing to Jim and his staff for questioning them on the Facebook page, I'm sure others will follow suit.......

Nothing would surprise me if The Walks ends up as another housing estate a bit like Fenland Park, the old home of Wisbech Town and Kings Lynn end up in a similar mess to The Fenmen.

Lump on.

It was Nikko I was replying to....... I know Pete can't help himself where I'm concerned!

I seem to be living rent free in his head for some curious reason

If you were chairman, what would you do differently to David Newton then Andy?

Remember, you're not allowed to spend money we don't have, as that's what left us in the shit the first time around.

looks like it's taking a bit of working out... ;D

I've absolutely no idea who you are but you seem to have a massive problem with me and my opinions.......

Agree with the above no game for a couple of weeks and we treat the paying fans to a team that was always going to get beat. I have questioned what this hybrid system is bringing to the club and what this so called under 23 team is really all about and last night did nothing to answer those questions. I find it confusing that the fans through BUSA are raising money to finance the under 23s set up as advertised in the BUSA posters around the ground, I would have thought that the cost would have been covered in the clubs budget however, ours is not to question why even though we keep pumping our money into the club. UTP

Unless you were being sarcastic there Mel you've every right to question where your money goes.

Thats the problem here, people won't ask questions because they'll get shot down by the "be grateful to have a club" & "how dare you question our board" mob.

As pointless as last night was it has exposed the folly of this half baked hybrid system for the 'jobs for the boys' fiasco it is. David needs to dispense with it and go back to part time where we attract the better, more experienced lads at this level, not wet behind the ears academy lads who aren't strong enough for thie level of football.

And then you wonder why long term legacy fans of almost 50 years like myself are increasingly growing completely disillusioned with the club.

Off the pitch spot on, never been better.

On it, a half arsed shambles that lurches from embarrassment to embarrassment at every turn.

In the grand scheme of things I'm miles behind the likes of Josh, Rich Collins, The Jacko's and one or two others that have been going away for years. I did have a 9 year break as a single parent or that would be nearer 200.

I've Sheff Utd supporting friends who are on 3-400+ grounds and I know Adam Shergold is getting on for 500 speaking to him at Peterborough the other night.

There's at least 2 more new ones for me with Warrington and South Shields this season, and fingers crossed for Goodison at the seasons end too.
