Thanks Doobs.

For anyone who missed it, Monday’s Meet the FCB session with Ivor and Joe is now available on YT: [Link]

It gets to happen more often as you get older REPD.

Apparently a Charlton fan called up TalkSport last night having left the match early at 0-1. First match you're allowed back in for months after this drudge of a year, only a goal down and you storm out in a huff AND call a radio phone-in to say you've done it. Long hard mirror for you son.

TF, home fans are always pretty moany. Away fans are normally happier people

This is interesting - and I'm not posting this to mock Charlton as I fear that it's a "there but by the grace of god" thing... [Link] Lee Bowyer criticised the Charlton fans last night for being allowed back in after all this time and then being a bunch of Negative Shit C*nts. If you think back to the first half performance last night, I wonder whether 2,000 Dons in the ground might have managed to hinder the second half reaction?

Morning all. Waking up with cramp in your right leg at 0630 is not fun at all...

So is Ollie a dud? 196mins on the pitch with no return although he has two yellows. I recall that Wuppites were very happy when we signed a brick s**thouse

Do we really need to know which young women the old pervs came across last night?

Sandy - I've got to say that I would not mind taking part in her research into "fluid-structure interaction"

Sandy - she made a couple of short appearances in Part 1 - certainly caught my eye - will watch Part 2 later today

At what age does the libido disappear? 🧐

Hey Bob. I've been watching that Dam Busters thing and don't remember seeing her. I suppose I must have been more interested in the storyline...

TGG - one for you. Came across this very interesting young lady watching "The Dam Busters" three part series on Channel 5 - [Link]

Cheers, Nick.

Wagner, 06:41. Pathetic isn’t it?

8 pints better off this season than last season. 9 points better off than 2018 and 5 points better than 2017. In 2016 we had three points more and sitting in 9th. I’d be happy with a similar season to 2016.

GG the place is a health and safety officers heaven as they are having a field day telling you which way to walk, which gate to go through, how to sit and what not to do. In fairness the club are doing a good job keeping things going despite the H & S nazis.

Ref floodlights: they are still adjusting floodlights, and that was a different set up from Sunday. There is a shadow on the East Stand side, but it is not onto the pitch - just off. Suspect next game will see another set up as they adjust again.

GG it’s starting to look a lot like a football ground but the food outlets, bars, toilets aren’t fitted out yet and we are having to use the only toilets that seem to be working that are by the players entrance in the West Stand. Roadway around the stadium is now 2/3 tarmac now which makes a big difference. The inside of the west stand has a way to go yet and turnstiles etc need to be put in. Can’t see anyone back in there before the end of January.

nick - what's it like in there now? Still a building site? It looks MUCH more ready to go from Pluff Lane than it did during our game against Doncaster.

Sav - spoke to him a couple of weeks ago. Was going to meet up for a (fair-trade, sustainably-sourced, purple-submarine) coffee but my people and his people couldn't sort out the logistics. He's fine.

Having watched the highlights I can tell you that it wasn’t dark in the stadium like it looked through the camera. The floodlights are much better than the ones were at Kingsmeadow. No dark spots and much better for playing under.

We seem to be happy playing largely without the ball and hitting teams on the break. In each of our 5 wins this season we have 'lost' in terms of possession, Fleetwood 30%, SwinDon 33%, Blackpool 46%, Rochdale 40% and Peterborough 32%. We only created four chances last night but converted a high percentage - two goals, one Pigott shot saved and a Pigott free kick that was inches from making it three.

Spartan thing I’ve noticed with Hartigan is he gets caught on the ball a lot. But I wonder if the problem is that any player who is a passer, the one who gets/keeps play moving, playing in our teams us going to be a challenge because our players are poor at moving off the ball, making a pass available and to be honest communicating. I think he’s someone that although the pace will hold him back, in a better team you’d get more out of him. Definitely could score more goals but then he seems to be played in a position where he’s not going to get many chances.
