[Tree13]

Either way it’s a very low bar

Can't argue with that!

Is the parking by the RS Stapler open tonight (wasnt sure if it was all match days)?

Thinking about parking down there instead

 

[Eggs]

Fundamentally disagree re Keane being better than Holgate.

….i certainly prefer Keane but I’d say ‘Keane is less worst than Holgate’.

Not sure mate, but think loads are swerving tonight and still loads of tickets on sale. so might be loads of spaces at the normally more chocker spots?

It’s got the makings of one mate.

Though, Is it technically an upset if we win, given our performances and start we’ve made.

 

[HTCHERO]

Wouldn't be shocked if these show our so called football players how it's done.

 

[Vintage]

If there is no var we might get away with one or two of the numerous offsides

 

[LEONARD]

Look out the window.

See the weather today.

That will sum up tonight's match.

Depressing, but true.

 

[NeilMorepies]

We win this by the odd goal, our deluded fans think oh maybe this is a springboard and we have turned a corner.

We scrape a draw against Bournemouth and our fans will be saying "that's 2 games unbeaten" like its some sort of achievement! KOFF

If we somehow beat Doncaster we WILL have turned a corner.

If we scrape a draw against Bournemouth it WILL be an achievement.

This manager has got us to thinking like the bit in bold.

Throw him in the skip

Fair enough mate, for me at least you can say Keane is a centre half who has a decent range of passing and can be a threat from set pieces. But he is oh so often flat footed, not the fastest and has a mistake in him.

Holgate got me has never really stamped him as a centre half, hence him playing right back a lot, he's never really been a threat from set pieces and really doesn't use the ball well on top of being a red card waiting to happen. All I will say he's got over Keane is being a bit more aggressive and quicker.
