Re: MATCHWATCH : Northampton Town (h)

Actually thought we played pretty well. Gave Northampton very little and we were the better side by a margin Elliott did ok, CBs good, front 3 all contributed and nice to have some physicality up there. Thought Kelvin was good and caused a lot of problems All subs did well bar the hapless Kyeweera ...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Northampton Town (h)

Just got home. We bossed that, they came for a 0-0, were well organised and well coached but offered precious little attacking threat so it was all about whether we could get the one goal we needed (or not). We looked much better with Williams in the team, and even better when Yiadom came on. I can ...

Re: Exeter City (A)

For any St James Park newbies, the indoor Centre Spot fanzone is excellent. One end is set up like a beer festival with local ales and ciders direct from the barrel, plus reasonably priced pasties and pies. Recommended. https://i.imgflip.com/a8umn2.jpg We went to the one outside the main stand (to ...

Re: FA Cup 2025-26

Franconian Royal Just no banana skin, please.

Apart from that Slough, please

Last time we had Slough away in the FA Cup, we went into injury time a mere 3-1 ahead and managed to hold on for a 3-3 draw.

And there was a gigantic punch-up in the car park afterwards.
