Bob - arsehole :)

I saw a tweet yesterday saying that we were supporting Rainbow day and then sleeping out to support homeless people, 3 points in the middle would be nice but didn't really matter. That's where the club is now and if the majority feel that way it do results really matter.

STTA - don't beat yourself up fella. It was only a matter of time before the obvious would dawn.

Talking of Charlton. Another 2 home games in December at Valley where every ST holder brings 3 mates for free. Got 26k v Plymouth !!!

Maximum was 8,224 against Sheffield Wed. Hopefully, they'll fix the issue that means we have to keep a sterile area in the away section at some point, but not sure if that involves work that can only happen out of season. Numbers of visiting supporters for Portsmouth and Sunderland matches will be interesting.

Bob - I don't think there's much in the league. We looked good in the sunshine in August but I don't think we have a squad suited to a cold hard winter of Div 3 football. We are going to struggle to outscore the number of goals this defence will concede and I have us in the relegation places by the time we finish 6 tough fixtures at Plymouth.

And maximum seems to be just over 8,000 ? Will be interesting to see how many go to Charlton I guess they haven't been given their allocation yet so they aren't buying in Home end yet ?

Here is the rulebook [Link]

Thanks @information. So, average league attendance for home matches this season of 7,548.

McCormick third in the assist league. Think we are starting to see a quality player.

@Silk Yes that is correct it's after you play 19 games.It used to be a date in calendar but that was unfair if you had played more

@DunDonald 6,943

I do think the FA have badly worded the suspensions policy. It makes no sense for it to be the 19th week of the season when some teams have played more matches than others. I take it as being after the team has played 19 matches and it is individual to each team. It would be unfair to if one team's 5 yellows ends after 16 games and another after 19 games.

The problem is we are at the start of the journey (and yes it is an annoying term) and we are at the crap, plodding stage right now. To add context Klopp it one of the best managers in the world but it still took him a couple of seasons to turn Liverpool into winners. Quite what people are expecting from a cash-strapped club like ours and what they expect Robbo to achieve in a few months is scary.

Re Yellow cards. The cut off 19th game is AFTER Accy Stanley match. But if you play for Accy then the cut off to reach 5 yellows happened last night !!

Did anyone catch what the attendance was on Tuesday against Crewe?

Keefy it’s a dilemma we have to live with. We could use Biler and Currie in the squad right now but actually if they’d sat around playing age group football they’d probably be even less prepared for L1 than they are now. Pretty sure it was Downes that identified one of our problems was we weren’t getting our youngsters out there playing real adult football (especially poor at a club that bangs on about aim to have first team sustainable from youth set up).

Kentish so you’d bin Palmer as well then. His goal return isn’t great and includes 2 penalties. Or are you just being selective as usual. FYI Pressley has scored 3 penalties this season. Pigott (everyone’s golden boy) would take 5 or 6 penalty chances to have scored that many.

Keefy seen people here and social media banging on about recalling the loan players when they score a goal in non league. People were talking about why isn’t Robinson involved in the past week.

Rather have Biler back but he's on a season's long loan.

For those who are fans of direct comparisons. We’ve got the same points at 18 games as last season BUT last time we’d taken just 1 point from last 4 games and 4 from last 6 games. This season we’ve 4 points from last 4 games and 7 from last 6 games. We’ve still played more games against top 6 sides this season. Last season crashed cos we went on a run of 5 points from 13 games (including this period). We didn’t even maintain the form of 21 points from 18 games. Our form this season is pretty consistent and shows no sign of going on that kind of a run. (People are jumping all over form that is a lot better than this time last season). This current run is our weakest form and we’d still hit ~50 points from it.

Lurkio "we should recall Fisher and Robinson" .Where have you seen this suggestion?

Can’t help falling out of love with Pressley at the moment. League 1 isn’t exactly all shook up by 0 goals from open play in 18 appearances. You’d have thought against the likes of Crewe and Fleetwood that it’s now or never but still no goals. I know he’s only 20 but so far he’s been a hound dog of a signing.

Quite impressed by the gates so far - looks like we are about 12th in the attendance league 1 table. Lots of teams below us higher up the points table though

The progression is visible as well. Rudoni has gone in less than 12 months from a player who looked potentially good but wasn’t delivering to having scored 10 goals and 7 assists. And he’s still on that improvement curve.
