    I can picture you sat at home typing this message, hash pipe in hand, bottle of whiskey next to you..

    I didn't see much of that on their forum and given the way he has revived a lot of middling journeyman careers, I think I can guess who people would sympathise with. Unless you, of course, have some inside line, which seems very unlikely. Didn't he sign a 3 year contract extension about two...

    I think he believes he can get a bigger job than that.

    Better than Eastern European undertakers I guess.

    Well, I'd like the chance to find out rather than griping about it now. Pull yourself together, I was terribly pessimistic after last nights game but Friday is winnable and we then think about the next game. Why bother being a fan otherwise?

    Had a look at their forum and it's actually a fairly muted response, with a few fans not sad to see the back of his 'antics'!

    I have to say that I think that is slightly unfair on Evans, I think he can adapt to circumstances and doesn't always play the same way. I can remember a Crawley team he brought here in the Conference days that were a proper footballing outfit. He's also done a brilliant job at Stevenage, from...

    Assuming that absolute tnuc Rayner will be joining him, yet again?

    Home Match Day Thread 16/4/24 Oxford United v Lincoln City

    I agree he was effective and worked hard but he was also lucky to be on the pitch at the end - a handful of deliberate professional fouls should have lead to a red card, along with the constant attempts to provoke Oxford players. How many times did he put his head into a players chest, at least...

    Mugged. We were mugged - didn’t take our chances when we were on top, conceded a goal early in the 2nd half and then weren’t good enough to break down an obdurate, organised defence. However, we should take the opportunity to welcome Michael Skubala to the dark arts hall of fame, joining a long...

    League One EFL Teams of the Season

    I think we are certainly reliant on watching two performances, perhaps more if there are Sky games, reading reports and then looking at data but I believe that these teams are selected, from a shortlist by the players in the division in question. I'm not advocating Sheehan or Pack over...

    Fan's View Fan's View 23/24 - No.47: Peterborough at home

    Paul, I thought it was interesting that when Ferguson was interviewed he was asked about the players being 'leggy' and the interviewer didn't get to the end of the question - he dismissed that notion straight away and said it was nothing to do with what happened on the day. For once, it was an...

    Can't disagree with that! Although those players have been incredibly consistent, there is still the business end of the season to come before those votes were cast.

    I would tend to agree - they have the equal best defensive record in the league with Pompey and Derby and apart from three big wins in quick succession in March, games have been relatively tight. We've scored 14 more and conceded 16 more in comparison. Nothing indicates they will come at us head...

    Manager/Coach Des Buckingham

    Given the chat on managerial styles, it will be interesting to see how Parkinson fares next season - from cursory watches of the Wrexham documentaries he seems old school, lots of shouting and swearing. He's had three years with way bigger budgets than his competitors and getting players to drop...

    I don't necessarily disagree but there is wider contribution to look at other than just attacking stats and isn't this based on votes from fellow pros?

    I agree, think he is probably unlucky but then again, Sheehan and Pack both been consistently good and they occupy those two central positions.

    Current Player #23 Josh Murphy

    Just picking through the thread and saw this - as far as I can remember, it was fairly low level booing. In spite of a disappointing season and a half effectively, most people wanted him to come good and from Christmas onwards we saw initial glimpses that indicated there was a still a real...
