And all the while not even noticing that Nuneaton have gone bump this week (as in no longer in existence, not “oh we’re struggling”). Get to fuck. I won’t accept any club is struggling until they’re somewhere in between Bury and us having a year of kids and no marks. 

I don’t think Reading are far away to be fair.

At the time, i thought the fact they beat us 2 0 over 75 minutes and couldve been more, might be an issue

I wonder if evatt changes something big tomorrow

yeh, pity about that with Nuneaton. Went to their games 3 or 4 times a good few years ago (early 2000s) and the old ground was the epitome of non league oddness. So the main home end had a terrace with a raised back to it - as we did with the old Burnden Paddock; but the bit behind that wasn't seats as normal, but another terrace. They've been in a new ground for a while but clearly didn't work out - odd because even back then there were Leicester and Coventry fans attending who obviously had them as their second team, so to speak. You'd think they could have made a go of it, albeit at low level. Around that time they played Stoke in the FA Cup and got a big crowd and it kicked off old school style by all accounts. Mind you, Nuneaton is the fucking shithole's shithole.

Good point. But there's an argument to be had that the game was won and the foot was well and truly lifted off the pedal. If true then it's a fault for Evatt and the players to address. But give The Os credit, they changed things early and it had an effect.

Got a couple of mates (brothers) who are lifelong fans and associate watching Boro with their departed dad. Felt so sorry for them.

Yeh, I can imagine as it obviously meant a lot to those who went. And back then it was clearly a club that could make summat of itself, even if only at a fairly low level. It has the catchment area to do so, even if replying on a lot of goodwill from "2nd team" supporters to boost the numbers. Daft that it has gone completely as it seems.

They’re very poor at home and don’t score many.

 

Haven't conceded a goal at home since 9th December - OK, only played twice!  But also won last 2 aways without conceding so we were the last team to score against them, and that seems ages ago!

Since going 3 down to us, scored 8 and conceded 0.

Hope I'm wrong but I'm predicting 0-0, and it won't be the worst result.

We could have been 5 or 6 up at halftime, they had a free hit second half.

We’re just above evens.

A draw wouldn’t be a disaster but I wouldn’t take it. 

There are much more difficult away games to come where I would take a point though.
