  1. His shot went higher than his corner
  2. I have replied above so it follows your thoughts. It is interesting , as you I have no axe to grind. The current investigation into the Trust might reveal more as there has to be chance that LL has been made a scapegoat for a series of fuck ups. The reality is even is she found guilty or innocent at a future trial we will never 100% know. People will have their own opinions but she can never unless there is some totally new evidence rather than interpretation of existing evidence be proven innocent in the eyes of some.
  3. Will this sell out ? Waiting for something else to be confirmed date wise before buying.
  4. I thought ROP was really setting itself up for an epic conclusion, but it just sort of petered out getting ready for another season. Which is always a risk with a series I suppose. Enjoying Show Trial at the moment, watched 3 of I think 5.
  5. And that is/was the job of the defence team. They can call expert witnesses to refute the prosecution experts. We have trials to decide guilt or otherwise and that system is in favour of the accused as the onus is ' proved beyond reasonable doubt'. My point is that after this process she has been found guilty, so that is what she is. If we go through a similar process and she is found not guilty I would accept that , but what I am not doing is declaring her not guilty based on internet rumours. Of course juries sometimes make mistakes but each 'expert' is only commenting on one area, their area of expertise and saying it might not be as conclusive as it first seemed, as far as I have seen none of them are claiming to have proved her innocence. Her prosecution is based on circumstantial evidence, but that is not just 1 thing, it is a series of circumstances all of which could have been challenged or alternative interpretations offered at trial.
  6. All I have pointed out is that the experts questioning the other experts have only seen snippets of the evidence. The jury who heard months of evidence found her guilty, the people giving opinions on the internet are choosing which snippets they use. I have no idea if she is guilty or not.
  7. Do you think you lot should change manager as well ?
  8. That run of five games seems a reasonable basis for assessing how we are like to do in the tougher games. So you need 2 points per game for promotion so 10 points would be excellent. 7 or 8 acceptable. 6 disappointing and less than that a failure. One of the reasons yesterday was a kick in the teeth was win that and the Burton game the 2 PPG target was back on.
  9. And of course you would think that, people who support him would say he was part of a recruitment team. Not saying either is right or wrong btw. Plus there numerous other factors like deals falling through late in the process, which is the only explanation of being one short in the squad, there was a rumour of an out of contract player coming but that fell through. The one area he has most influence and personal control is the way we play and the ridiculous start of the season formation which has lumped extra pressure on every game. Even though we have a coaching team the manager clearly drove the new approach. In turn that does seem to have influenced recruitment.
  10. Channel 5 tonight at 9 has a programme about the calls for a retrial
  11. I have read today that the first half was the players being complacent and Evatts rocket half time got them going. AND That Evatt changing the team was to blame for the slow start and then the players settled down second half and improved despite Evatt. Evatt out people like you give him no credit for anything which is clearly wrong. Evatt in people give him credit for everything which is equally wrong. He was solely to blame for the bizarre 3 up front system at start of the season but he has now changed that. The defending at corners is a coaching/tactics issue but players must also react quicker, the first was 3 uncontested balls. You can spend the season blaming him for everything and others can excuse everything, the reality is that we or lose as a team and rarely is it all down to one person. The summer recruitment has left us very top heavy with not enough quality/competition in midfield. We are 1 injury and 1 suspension from Arfield starting and we have a spare squad place. Again is that Evatts fault ? Personally I would have sacked Evatt after Stevenage away last year, would not have been surprised if Oxford was last game, amazed Huddersfield was nt, but whilst he is manager will support him and desperate for him to prove me wrong.
  12. That is how I feel most Sundays. I am slightly bigger than a shrew.
  13. Did anyone else notice when they had a free kick second half the keeper lined up 2 walls with a gap in the middle? There was a main wall and another 2 man wall. Strange.
  14. We dropped points today because we did not play for 45 minutes and another opposition manager has found a flaw in Evatts tactics. On corners we have 11 back, and conceded twice with unchallenged players getting on balls, then they had another corner and we had 10 players in the six yard box. The second half waz miles better but we equalised with 30 minutes to play ( nearly 40 with the extra time) for Evatt to react to the fact they ref should played probably an extra 90 second was pretty pathetic. Collins and McAtee had very little impact. Dempsey and Captain Legohead both but real shifts in , Arfield seemed a strange replacement. JDC gets some real stick but he linked up well with Dempsey, I do not think it is JDCs job to go flying down the wing, he hold his position which left the space for Dempsey to run into and it worked well. Do not get me wrong he could sometimes do more, but he did a decent today IMO.
  15. Think you are right but if it is an international break and we have 4 'qualified' players missing seems unfair that we have to find 4 more 'qualified' players.
  16. It is pretty stupid that this game is played over an International break. It is made worse by the rules of playing a weakened team, so we play Saturday and I think we have to play at least 4 of that team, but say we have 4 away on international duty. It would make more sense if the 4 called up could respect off-set the need to play people from last game.
  17. If you intercept a nuclear weapon does it still lead to a nuclear explosion ?

  19. Stock markets round the world dropped yesterday due to increasing oil prices and worries about war. FTSE was up as we have loads of fuel companies and weapons manufacturers based in this country. The killing machine pays for rockets and guns - As Weller never actually said. They bought prosperity down at the armoury -As Billy Bragg did say
  20. 👍 I am parking on hotel car park this week, not sure what it is like getting off there, can not see millions from Shrewsbury turning out.
  21. Would it not be better to have the taxi pick you up on the roundabout ?
  22. Out of interest is there anywhere that publishes viewing figures for the games Sky stream ? Some of the games must have less than 1000 watching them.
  23. Win next two and we have 19 from first 10 so closing in on the two points per game usually needed. Good news is currently only 2 teams are hitting the 2 point target. Less good news is that your perceived tough start after Burton and Shrewsbury we will have played 10 games, but only 2 in the league against anyone in top 10. However the over riding feeling has to be performances and results have improved beyond most expectations in last few games. Loads of goals 7,6,2 and 6 in last four.
  24. Original is a flavour of crisps ! I was not trying to pick faults 😂👍
