What a boring game

Two teams terrified to lose, with us shading the XFF

Just thinking the same thing Silk. When we turn the ball over we’re seeing some space and time on the ball but failing to knit together into anything dangerous.

Our attack is poor again. No one to worry Mansfield.

The average hamstring injuries per season is 8 (according to Google AI) we currently have four at once. You should be expected to have 1 or 2 concurrently. How are we so much higher?

Will someone tell them kids to shut up? 😆

Bit of a let off for Bishop that one.

Those “My Sporting Life” interviews on Talksport2 can be very good 👍

Mansfield are on a poor run of form and have injuries so we have a chance

Apologies for the typos, I was on a train. Sunny and very mild for December here. COYD!

Nice to see a4e walking up and down the west stand concourse ,with son?

Caught the first part of a very long interview with Fash inc Harry B and Bobby G very early this morning on Talksport 2 (I don't sleep well). Very interesting, inc how he wanted to harness the passion of the racial abuse he got at the Den when playing for Lincoln to get behind him when he then signed for the Lions. It will be somwehere on Talksport catch up. "My Sporting Life")? with Danny Kelly? I seem to remember from my dozing. Maybe somene could post a link.

About to set off and I have the same feeling Trigger, a dreadful match we lose by a silly goal. Still the sun is shining!

Not feeling it today I can see a 0-1 drudge match.

!2:30 Kick off today

Note to everyone. Wycombe away is not due to be on the Red Button on Sky. The 4 fixtures at Xmas only include 2 "Holiday rounds" Dec 26th and Jan 1st. All Holiday matches are automatically shown The Exeter at home and Wycombe away are treated as normal weekends so only the 2 matches chosen by Sky will be on the Plus Channel

Timmy - the blog has super graphics, some amusing points, but one or two glaring misconceptions. Right of reply? Looks like people have to pay substack to do that.

Padds, KD was my first thought. Then again that X account appealed for more contributors so who knows?

CW - I had a fruitless exchange on x with the person that wrote it

Geminids tonight if you have clear skies where you are.

Biggles was my first thought when I read one of his/her pieces a few weeks ago.

Reading it again, the writing strikes me like Biggles, mildly sedated

I agree with Trig about that blog. Blames the wrong people. Gives no insight into why people don't see their term through. And as for this league table of 'flouncers' we allegedly keep (???).

Made I chuckle [Link]
