Time McKenna shows his worth.
at 07:46 11 Apr 2024

With a loss against the Budgies and a draw against Watford maybe the time for Kieran to earn his spurs. Any manager can be great when things go well. It's the managers that can get that bit extra from players and possibly set the team up a bit differently to get what's required from his team. Don't get me wrong, this is not having a go at McKenna as what he and the team on and off the pitch have done over the past two seasons is out of this World.My concern now is that we falter and as we know those playoffs end up with sixth place promoted when third place are twenty points ahead of them as it's all on those few games then. I have said it's the manager, but also the players that have served Town so well need to step up a bit also. Long season, higher League. A bit of tiredness perhaps ?

May the Farce be with you.

Just heard Everton docked another two points. Appealing apparently because several different bodies involved some calling for five points. This current situation as with everything to do with those involved in the running of football is a farce.You have teams like Manchester City breaching the rules over 100 times. As yet, no points deduction. You have a situation where teams that may stay in the Premier League possibly being demoted after the season is finished. Not naming names, well o.k. then, Leicester breaching the rules, relegated and only when they return to the Prem will they get punished. What a bloody disgraceful situation. I of course want Town promoted and I don't want that to happen by default. But someone's ar*e needs a good kicking for this shambles.

Of all the games in all the World.

Of all the games in all the World we had to lose to the Budgies. I'd rather lose to any non league club than that lot up the A140. We didn't perform to our standard in any way. They set up to frustrate and catch us on the break and for them it worked a treat and we were suckered in. Their goal was a result of continually giving free kicks away. But didn't feel they were all free kicks. They fell over, the ref gave a free kick, we fell over and he waved it away. No excuse for the defeat as we created nothing of note in 85 minutes.

Injuries
at 14:18 17 Mar 2024

My question is and it doesn't just apply to Town is why players are sustaining so many injuries. Back in the days of the George Burley's, Micky Mill etc they played far more games than they do now. The squads weren't as big and the amount of subs far less. Yes we had injured players such as the Beat who had doggy knees but recently I was watching Butch and Russell Osman saying they had 4 games in 8 days. Can you imagine that now.

Is it just because I'm getting on a bit and struggle to do the things I used to do or does everyone feel like me in that I have just had the first of many increases of monthly outgoings landing on my mat. Council tax up £7 a month, Sky another £4.50, tv licence up. That's without water rates, house insurance, road tax and my car insurance went up over £110. I know everything usually goes up in April, but this year, on top of the massive increases we have seen on food, gas and electricity over the last few years and for those with hefty mortgages it's just one thing after the other and with the general state of this Country what with potholed roads everywhere, NHS waiting times it does seem like Britain is no place for old men, or come to that anyone else.

Celebrate but don't get ahead of ourselves.
at 12:01 3 Mar 2024

Every reason to celebrate and be very proud. But don't get ahead of ourselves and have a bit of empathy. Why I say this is because there's no sense in having a go at other teams fans even if they are being D*ckheads. All it does is wind them up even more. Just be pleased we are where we are. There are still lots of games to go, many twists and turns. Amongst those games we have Saints at home and Budgies away. They could be crucial, but then maybe not. No good beating them and losing games we should possibly win. No reason to think we will lose them but as we have seen we open up a ten point gap between us and third. Before you know it the fourth placed team are second, the second third and us fourth. Then the top team who go ten points clear are all of a sudden only three points clear of us in second, Leeds two points behind us and Saints in fourth. So enjoy but don't get ahead of ourselves.

Town Squad
at 15:20 29 Jan 2024

As I see it we could make one more signing taking us to 25, two more and we'd have to lose one of the three injured players. Am I right as neither Hutchinson or Baggott count.

Now I have Calmed Down.
at 11:31 28 Jan 2024

Watching Town v Maidstone must admit in all my time as a Town fan I have never been so frustrated and disappointed. Of course any team can have an off day, we did against Leeds and because Hirst is injured, Broadhead looks out of form and we have generally dropped in performance over the last few weeks things maybe came to a bit of a head yesterday as even when the big guns as it where came on we were really no better. I do think we need to find a way to get around this continual shipping of goals. Teams are accustomed to our fullbacks bombing forward and are exploiting the space left and whilst we are indebted to McKenna for bringing football that we all enjoy to PR a solution needs to be found.
