[Bluenile]

Dreadful error by Tymon. Fecking about at the back again. Surely if you're playing away against one of the best teams in the league, you start with your best team. Two games now where Matos has started with weak teams.

Vip thunderbolt?

Our spend was peanuts considering the state of the squad in pre season.

2025/26 - 45 points (-3 GD)
2024/25 - 41 points (-9 GD)
2023/24 - 42 points (-11 GD)
2022/23 - 43 points (-5 GD)
2021-22 - 45 points (-12 GD)

Number of points is pretty irrelevant at the end of the season though - it’s the position you finish that counts.

We’ve finished 15th, 10th, 14th and 11th in the last 4 seasons and are currently (again means nothing until 46 games) below all of those.

I’m very much in the positive camp in terms of Matos’ impact and the possibilities for next season if we recruit well in the summer but it’s a big stretch to make out that this season is any better (on the whole) than the last 4.

Wonder if this will be a chance to see how much of a set piece specialist Walta is meant to be

 

[swannage]

Vipotnik nearly again with a blinding FK!

 

[Muteswan]

VIP with another super free kick. Unlucky

Beat stoke and portsmouth and we can all start packing our budgie smugglers

 

[bakajack]

Unlucky Vip

Vipotnik nearly again with a blinding FK!

Another rocket.

What's everyone having for tea? Might have beans on toast... I need to talk about something

 

[Pegojack]

The keeper never smelt that free kick. Just not our day.

 

[FearOfAJackPlanet]

Crikey. Does Vip hit the ball harder than Bony?

Aldi beans are supposed to be the best. Haven't tried them though, so don't come back to me if they aren't what you hoped and dreamed of, OK?

It’s the position you finish that counts towards finishing positions but points will tell you how you have played in comparison to other years.

If you finish 10th on 60 points on year and another you finish 11th on 65 points. You have done better in the year you get 65 points regardless of position.
