Accrington – it doesn’t quite have the same appeal you’ll get in places like Monaco, New York, the Bahamas or even Swindon. But here we are, facing the idea of a trip up to the Lancashire town as the League Two campaign hurtles ever closer to its end for another year. If you aren’t …
Late winners are wonderful things. Make it a late winner against Northampton Town and Chris Wilder and you might as well multiply the effect by a bazillion. The weekend win over the Cobblers got its groove on with other results to put us in a decent position as far as …
After the quick-fire turnaround of two games in four days last weekend thanks to the extended Easter weekend, Stevenage FC are in pretty much the same situation this weekend. But don’t be getting your hopes up – it’s not another Bank Holiday festival, just a Saturday/Tuesday combo that has the potential to …
First up was the team that are second bottom in the division, and next up to complete the second half of our Easter Double Act are the mob propping up the table as things stand. That’s right, it’s Cheltenham Town down at their gaff and points are starting to become a must …
You don’t need to be a Believer to know that Friday equals “good”. All Fridays usually are – because it’s the one period of time that stands between you and the weekend. This one, however, also means a day off in these here erstwhile isles of ours, which means it’s …
Ouch! We’re not sure what’s more painful – somehow letting the Daggers walk off with all three points or seeing your skipper providing (quite literally) a finger buffet for someone who didn’t have his halftime orange. Or his morning Weetabix. Neither were quite what we were expecting from last weekend’s action at the Lamex, …
This “seventh heaven” concept is a strange one to us. After all, what’s so wrong with the first, second and – cor blimey – even the third versions of the afterlife that you’d want to sack off the first six and head for the door marked “seven”? Well, it seems to …
A last-gasp goal at Cambridge. We’ve heard that one before, though it wasn’t exactly fatal this time around; Boro’ coming away from the R Whites Lemonade Stadium with a point at the weekend rather than nothing, though it should have been all three and that’s what had us all annoyed on …
Ah yes, Cambridge United – it’s getting to that point where we’ve met them more times than we care to remember, though it’s fair to say we have more cause to recall the most recent encounters given that we’ve won five of the last six games against our cousins from the other …
Now then, wasn’t it deeply satisfying to grab the win late on against Plymouth indoors? Not only did we put them to the sword with a bang on display of counter attacking football, but we’ve gone and rubbed John Sheridan up the wrong way again – that’s worth three points in itself …
