We were battered at the start of that season as we had the fitness levels of a pub team.

I think the above two points go hand in hand. Who want's to get into training early after a large one?

New managerial appointment tomorrow

Yates and Hewitt winning scrappy battles in the center of the park.

I quite like that direct-yet-incisive football myself. I actually prefer it to the patient, tippy-tappy stuff we play now. But then I'm the sort of person who applauds a crunching tackle more than a great through ball.

There were a number of reasons why it went wrong: the post-play-off hangover, the actual hangovers, Hardy getting desperate and splashing cash on stupid signings, and a bit of bad luck in the first few games. It could have been so different.

I dunno, it had it's moments. We could well do with some of the ''attributes'' we had then.

Was Coventry's under 23's coach he left them 2 weeks ago.

Nolan had a decent budget the play off season, got in the play offs and lost in the semi so absolutely no different to NA or IB and played atrocious football. He’d be no more suited to this league as it’s no different to L2. I’m happy with a mix approach on the football, but not to that extreme.

Some obviously never saw Colin Murphy in charge, Cod man, Charlie, even Warnock at the end was dire. Charlie was always at a differnt game to everybody else

That game was bonkers. Awful defending from us, but we had the determination to get back into it. A bit like that game against Bristol Rovers in the FA Cup - down two nil early on and then came back to win 4-2. Cracking stuff.

We must have worked our way down the list. Best of luck to the bloke if it's him.

Where have you got this from mate

I think it’s probably been Tisdale all along. Left 2 weeks ago (why would he leave without a job offer) gone on hols and then back for it to be announced.
