I can not believe that I missed this bizarre statement. Crazy crazy

He might score some Charlie but definitely not league 1 goals

Take it Moore doesn’t think too much of Chislett….on the bench again. Good to see Clarke starting, hope he’s fully fit.

Good luck with the op, mate. My better half had that op a few years ago. He was being told it would take a few weeks to get over it. He had the op on Thursday and on the Saturday we drove down to Cheltenham to see Tom Pope score a hattrick in the cup!  Hope your op is as lucky!!

Feed the Pope 👍

Chislett should be starting, end of 👍

So, a better balanced side, but the strapping on Clarke’s leg doesn’t exactly fill you with optimism that he’ll have a lot of minutes in him. The first half will be crucial today. Not to be a harbinger of doom, but Billy Bodin in playing, so not doubt we’ll be treated to the obligatory screamer he always seems to get against us.

For all his legendary status by my quick count off wikipedia he scored 47 goals in League 1 with 12 being the most in one season.

Stoll scored more than our current forwards

How he plays Lowe ahead of Chislett is beyond me.

Popey scored goals and these current forwards at the club couldn't lace his boots

I believe - and I might be wrong on this - we’ll be going 4.4.2 with Lowe & Ojo sitting, Garrity supporting Willo, and pace down the sides. So I really don’t understand why people are saying Chislett > Lowe because they are completely different players. At least it also feels like we’ve options off the bench - not exactly great ones admittedly, but options nonetheless. 

A Stoke mate of mine, we was as pessimistic about their plight as we are of ours, has seen Schumacher shuffling the pack largely at the expense of his footballing principles to resort to attritional football to essential ‘do what it takes’ to stay up.

Whilst I still think it’s too late for us, I applaud Moore for (presumably) a similar approach.
