No more mention of Susan Boyle's tits please, the guestbook really can't cope with that image.

I would like to offer a counter to the continual categorisation by one in particular of Piggot being “non league” I have looked at the numbers and they really are quite impressive. As far as I’m aware he has never scored an irrelevant goal. He scored 5 times last year firstly V Blackpool on debut to put us 2 up and seal the game. A winner against Bristol Rovers. He also scored the first in the comeback V Walsall, the equaliser against Oldham for the 2-2 and then our only goal at Wigan in the critical 1-1 draw. This season he has scored 3 winners in the 1-0’s at Fleetwood and Gillingham as well as the 2-1 win V Oxford. Plus the Hatrick at Rochdale last night. He put us 1-0 up V Sunderland at home and also put us level V Barnsley. Add to that the goal at Pompey to equalise in the league cup and the one to put us 1 up V West Ham and the third at Halifax in the FA cup. The bloke doesn’t do consolation tap ins in the 93rd minute to massage the figures. I make that in 53 games he has 16 goals in a struggling side. That’s around 1 in 3. I those games his goals (the league ones) you can directly attribute to 11/25 of last seasons points (the total gained from when he joined us in january, and this season 12/29. That is a very very decent 42% of all points gained since he joined. He may not be the must elegant and misses a few but fuck me that’s a pretty decent record in anyones book. Give the bloke a break.

Joe Pigott’s got a long way to go before he makes a believer out of me, Spit. Rochdale? Pah.

Superb centuries for Roy & Root as England chase down 360 against the Windies.

Was going to say on iPL last night, that a win with the last kick (near enough) would be great entertainment value, but decided not to tempt fate. Funny it panned out that way in the end. The footy gods certainly smiled on us last night.

Maybe Piggott cupping his ears was targeted at Kentish and co for saying he is a non-league striker😂

Great write up Rob

Good write-up

Red Kite .... With a little thought to the Akinfenwa pen in the play off final.

Just caught up on today's posts. Took a while...

Guess getting a penalty was too much for the guestbook. Anyway, SW19 report on yesterday is up - [Link]

Blimey that took a while

And were back,were we all too happy for the guestbook

Papers was furious when we got the penalty award as he had to start a new page in his book ....

You could claim that our defining moments as a Club came from two penalties; the Guy can be against Leeds in 1975 and the Beasant save against Liverpool in 1988

STTA - ah! Ok :)

and worryingly, Susan Boyle has joined them in a foursome

You're right Mike! And if you include Midson against Fleetwood then not just last minute but the penalties we get tend to be season defining ones!

rumour in northern press that Norris repd and Train all holed up in a whore house on the moors shouting “send the fucking tab to ardley”!

I know we dont get many penalties but we do seem to get a few last minute ones in 'turning point' games. Last night, Walsall last season, Long against Torquay in our L2 relegation battle spring to mind

Home form is shocking. If you take all our league and cup games, we've won 4 at home against nine away.

Piggot is a decent finisher and after a lean spell hopefully his confidence has recovered to the level it was at the season start.

In his last season with us, Tom Elliott scored 13 goals in 46 games including 9 in 39 league games. The Pig this season has so far scored 11 in 35 including 8 in 27 in the league. That includes a number of sub appearances. He has 13 in 45 league games since joining us and 16 in 53 games in total. Not bad.

We score 4 in an entertaining game and win a six-pointer. How times change!

How did Toby play last night? I still think we'll go down if we don't sort out the right back issue. I'd be tempted to try Mcloughlin there or play Wagstaff as right wing back where I think he's played before in his career.
