My thoughts exactly. Don’t know if you’re old enough to remember 71-72 season. 72 competitive games in 4 competitions. Several 1st team players played over 60 games and Jackie Marsh missed just 1 game. And this lot are knackered after 36 games plus a couple of cup games played on pristine pitches not weekly Battle of the Somme re-enactments. We finished fairly low down in the League that season, might I suggest fatigue played it's part in that? Played in emotionally draining FA cup Semi’s and won the League Cup. I’ll forgive them a low league position- no flirting with relegation. It’s more to do with the fact that quite a few of this squad are actually quite poor, that’s the reason - not fatigue.

We finished 15th with 56 points last season. We are currently 13th with 57 points. You would have to say that not passing the 60 point mark would constitute quite a disappointing season in the end. Still a chance of a top half finish though.

Always thought we’d be somewhere between 8th - 12th.

Wonder how we will play it tomorrow?. Will he play Matondo again, if so how will he accomodate Powell?. On the bench where all his best players are.

For how long will Atkinson let us have 11 men? Keep up, he has been replaced!

Didn’t he do a song called ‘Africa’ that came out in the 80’s?

Powell is the best we have at heading attacking wise. And he’s taking the corners. Nuts.

And ever since MoN was whining about long throws everyone has tried them against us.
Useless man.
