Take Hunt Off Posted October 4, 2023 Posted October 4, 2023 Good three points last night .Remember Oxford targeting our right side last season with arial bombardment of similar proportions & we lost 3-1 . We are probably getting the breaks at the moment which helps , but you canāt fault the commitment of the players .Dempsey not at his best but ran himself into the ground , both Thomason & Iredale didnāt shrink from the challenge despite their bookings . Our right -side didnāt really function attack wise & despite Jones ās limitations he does link up well with Cogley , Forrester is more defensive minded but canāt knock his performance overall. The knocking it about at the back needs modifying as some of our current team donāt seem to comfortable with it . Bod needs to start , at least we then have the option to play a bit longer & maybe a few passes might stick.Charles needs to play right on the shoulder of the defence , the deeper he comes for the ball the worse he gets.

He wasn't shouting during the Franny Lee tribute. The fault is intermittent, regardless of his volume. Something can be maintained to a legal standard and still not work properly. Donāt want to sound a bit twatty, but to the trained ear he was talking WAY too loudly, even then. There will have been a set of little lights going nuts in the control room at that point. And, in this scenario, being maintained to a legal standard absolutely means it needs to be working properly as part of the Green Guide.Ā 2 hours ago, Marc505 said: Aye piece of piss from Grantham on that line.

paulhanley Posted October 4, 2023 Posted October 4, 2023 Great to get the win on the board last night. We've now got the same record as this time last season after 10 games:Ā 6-2-2.Ā If I remember right it was the equivalent next two games in 22/3 (the 11th and 12th of the season) where we blew it at Cheltenham and then Forest Green.Ā Despite the delight at three points there are mixed feelings. So many injuries and suspensions and we got the win despite playing a team who've had a good start and play in a way that could have been specifically designed to disrupt our flow. However - we made one hell of a meal of it. The result could easily have gone the other way and we didn't learn much we didn't already know about the team flaws and all.Ā Spoke to a couple of Oxford fans today and they said their boss Liam Manning specifically changed the way they played in their 1-3 win at Stevenage on Saturday. He set them up to counter what Stevenage do. Couldn't really imagine IE ever doing something like that. Ā Quote

Nowack Posted October 5, 2023 Posted October 5, 2023 Walk past the first food place next to where you get in and walk along the front of the stand to the other counter which is usually empty.

Easily done in a noisy stadium but also easily fixed.Ā The only system aspect exposed to the elements is a big standard radio mic. Everything else has to be maintained to a legal standard. Confirmation that it's an intermittent fault due to aging equipment... https://www.theboltonnews.co.uk/sport/23851283.bolton-wanderers-look-improve-sound-system-toughsheet/ āIt is a known issue,ā he told TheĀ BoltonĀ News. āIt is intermittent as well, which doesnāt help. Sometimes it is fine, and I donāt think it is catastrophic at the moment, so letās be pragmatic about it. āTo replace it would be a very significant spend for the club, a massive project, but it is something we are aware of and something we are looking at in detail. āIt is on the agenda but it will take time and I donāt think it is something that will happen between games, it will be quite a lengthy job. āLike a lot ofĀ jobsĀ in the stadium, it is something which is 20-25 years old, which hadnāt been addressed. And, frankly, something else comes to my attention every week like that." Quote
Tonge moor green jacket Posted October 13, 2023 Posted October 13, 2023 Perhaps he talks too loudly into the microphone intermittently.Ā Quote
