  1. The route to 50 points starts here. We need to start strongly in this last stretch with a minimum of 4 points against Burton, that will set us up for at least another 4 points from Brizzle, getting us in touching distance. Then three away games, we can discount. But never fear, a stomping 5 points against Exeter will see us storming back, before getting rolled by Wycombe and smashed by Bolton. This will set up a simple 4 points to collect on the final day. If we end up losing to any of the first lot, we may need 8 - 10 points on the last day but I back the lads to get the job done.
  2. Flitcroft stays: we drop further, fans / owner wedge gets deeper, fans stop caring rather than engaging Flitcroft goes: fans get the blame, fans / owner wedge stagnates, what happens from there who knows
  3. In charge of recruitment for a relegated side. Time for a change.
  4. Last game of the season or when relegation is confirmed for the Flitcroft protest?
  5. This season has been an absolute disaster. I don’t mean the relegation necessarily, though obviously that’s a huge setback - but the whole direction of the club is pointing backwards. The priorities are all wrong. The first team football doesn’t even seem to be a top 5 priority. From Crosby, to recruitment ethos, to actual recruitment, to management, leadership, fan engagement, repeated mistakes, losing loans, injuries. It’s just been awful, and this is the future.
  6. That's what I am worried about. I think with his own team he can do a decent job. But who would take him in L1 off the back of the end of this season, should we be relegated? He'd have to rebuild his reputation with a strong start to L2 before jumping ship back to L1, surely?
  7. I don't understand the logic of that philosophy. Aspire to become a championship club through incremental development, but 'behaving' like one is naïve and simplistic. I'd rather us behave as a professional and ambitious 'whatever league we are in' club, and build from there with a solid foundation.
  8. I don't think we'll see Gore again; I wonder how much that 45 mins against Pompey have cost us both financially and a precious place in the squad we could have filled with a much-needed anchorman - our very own Ron Burgundy.
  9. where is Walters? Him and Ojo together would make sense.
  10. 1

    Why???

    Micky Adams as DOF, never thought of that. I'll meditate on the pros and cons over the next 10 minutes or so.
  11. I hope that is the case. Can’t keep chopping and changing in my opinion.
  12. VALE 3 oxford burton 1 1 Brizzle Northampton 1 0 Exeter wigan 1 3 Wycombe peterborough 0 3 Cambridge bolton 0 46 CAMBRIDGE 3 wigan reading 1 1 charlton barnsley 0 0 derby blackpool 0 3 wycombe brizzle 1 vale 0 48 By those predictions they still finish above. We could do with beating Burton to drag them right in.
  13. ^ This is assuming we are in League 2, but obviously I hope we're in League 1 and there's still an outside chance!
  14. We don’t have to be decent, we have to be the 5th worst, and at the moment Cheltenham, Burton and Cambridge are at least as shaky as us.
  15. Hopefully can against the other teams playing for nothing coming up: Northampton, Rovers, Cambridge (though hopefully they’ll be dragged back in)
  16. Suddenly things look a bit better… Oxford dropped off a cliff, next to Vale Park. Followed up by Burton in touching distance, all with games in hand. Green shoots.
  17. Love how the match thread has dropped off the main page 10 mins before kick off.
  18. Give pro experience to the academy players and haul the so-called leaders and experienced players up and down the country for a few months to watch and get the water bottles. Make it productive in terms of preparing for next season.
  19. This is the most irrelevant game of the season, eclipsed by the next, and so forth.
  20. It won’t shake out like this but we’re looking at something along these lines: Vale Cheltenham Carlisle Fleetwood Crewe Barrow Gillingham Wimbledon walsall morecambe Crawley Bradford Newport Harrogate Notts county Accy Tranmere Swindon Doncaster Salford Grimsby Colchester Chesterfield Barnet That to me looks like an easier league than the one we got promoted out of. Some teams with bigger budgets, but if we can get ourselves out of the in-fighting, kamikaze downward spiral we have inflicted on ourselves with repeated mistakes and naivety, we should do well.
  21. Darren Moore, the backbone of the team staying, no mistakes and shortcuts on the strikers and we look in decent shape, even with the deadwood that might cling on. Everyone who is out of contract can leave now, they have no future here and we should be playing Shorrock et al to get them ready for the bounce back. The bones are there, the budget will be competitive I’m sure. Only go to loans as a last resort, as having them recalled is a nightmare (reference Port Vale 23-24 season.)
  22. We need a properly organised protest against Flitcroft. I hate to single out one person but he’s made his own rope by stating plainly he is responsible for “all things football”. Well the football is dire, we’ve hired mentally weak, uninterested and untalented players with an total imbalance positionally, and I am confident the squad is quite expensive ironically.
  23. All the young players to start every game for now on. Let Lowe, Ojo, Massey, Grant watch from the bench. You have to earn the right to play and they’re curdled cream now.
