    Every time you type something you make yourself look a bigger tit,just pause and read what you've written before posting would be my advice.
    However, you believe all the sh*t you write, so just carry on looking a tit.

    People will only really appreciate how good we have it at the moment when we have a bad spell.

    Most supporters of other clubs would love to be in our position. Toughest league 1 in a long time.
    A couple of our supporters are sad individuals but hey ho whatever makes you tick.

    On Smudge I think he is just going through a dry spell tbh. He was never going to keep up the rate at which he was scoring earlier on in the season. He didn't seem disinterested to me, just no chances fell his way (they made sure they marshalled him well). Main man isn't scoring but we keep winning, be gravy once he has another purple patch. Freddie had a few games together scoring, Dan has now, Ben did, just how it goes for whatever reason. Don't worry about losing the man, he will stay (okay I'm just praying with this bit but don't fret).

    I think he does trytoo hard sometimes, he just needs to be calm and play his game
    He is also is good for assists, he could’ve easy tried a shot at Cambridge but instead passed it to Barlaser to put it in net, Ladapo probably wouldn’t have done that and that’s what let’s him down sometimes for me but if we win it doesn’t really matter

    With Smudge it's called regression to the mean. He performed beyond expectations with regard to goals earlier in the season (he's never been prolific) and now things are evening up a bit.

    If Ogbene could cross consistently he wouldn't be playing for us. If Smith could score like he was earlier in the season , he's be gone as well. Both players are great assets for us, even if they're not crossing and scoring as we'd like.

    Yep, agree with that

    Smith's career strike rate is 1 goal every 4 games.

    So really he could draw a blank for 7 games then score a brace, leaving his strike rate intact

    The club would probably prefer his goals spread evenly over the season.

    As for crossing, yes Ogbene could do better but we've wasted crossing chances across the whole team not just him

    Bit harsh on smudger
    I think it's also because he's been marked out of the game at the moment because he was top scorer.
    The Cambs players paid particular close attention to him so unless it's an inviting cross and the defenders are back pedalling then it's tough for him to create an opening
    Maybe it's a blessing because if others are scoring for him it might put a bit of doubt into the minds of potential future Employers in January - Cardiff are you reading this

    I didn't want Tilt or Grigg but former is our player on loan with 2nd to us in league 1. Warney doesn't want him prefers Wood. That's why I'll never be a Warney boy too cliquey for me. Pick bones out of that!

Almost mid point in season and STILL only three goals conceded away. I think they are currently among my favourites (after the 21 game thing)

    It's a bit worrying that our chances of making the playoffs are so low (below those of Wigan, Sunderland, SW, Oxford, Wycombe, MK Dons, Plymouth and Portsmouth)

    (PS I know it's because they are expecting us to finish in the top 2 )

    CAM, here's the latest betting stats on us:

    For us to win the League we are 4/5
    To win promotion 1/6
    To finish in the top 6 we are 1/66
    Automatic promotion 2/7
    Top half finish. Only ourselves and Wigan where you can no longer get a price on that, all the rest you can.
    To score the most goals 10/11

    We are favorites in every single one of those bets and they say the Bookies rarely get it wrong.
