Shows the depravity of people and football fans quickly forgetting what’s gone on before in order to point score and belittle others with no regard.

Watched the Rotherham v Blackpool game last night and settled down with high hopes. We were on an 8 match unbeaten run in the League and playing the 2nd bottom team with the worst away record in the League, only scoring 4 goals away from home.
The hope lasted 90 seconds when we were 0-1 down and it just got worse from there. 2 early injuries to add to the long list of absentees, 2 more goals conceded form basic defensive errors and only 1 fit forward who seems to spend more time wrestling with defenders than trying to actually score. On the plus side we did rally a bit in the 2nd half adn hit the woodwork twice but lacked the firepower to get ball in the back of the net. Frustrating watch.

Just watched the mighty Reading beat Luton 3-2. I’m not convinced we deserve the win and 3pts but I’ll take it. Early penalty from Lewis Wing took us in 1-0 at HT, great finish from Jack Marriot on the break to put us 2-0 early in the 2nd half. Then we proceeded to drop so deep it was ridiculous at one point we had less than 37% possession at home so no surprises we conceded 2 goals to make it 2-2 and looking like Luton would go into win as they were pulling our Midfield apart.
But then another quick break, great first touch and finish from Ehibhatiomhan just to drive a nail into Luton’s hopes and some last ditch defending meant we bagged the 3pts and have moved up the heady heights of 14th in the table

Well we've won again today, smashing Plymouth 4-1 away!
Started well, missed a sitter and then get a penalty for a shirt pull which was also deemed a red card as it was a clear chance from 5 yards out. We score and then go 3-0 up within 20 minutes before deciding the game is over and switching off. Plymouth back into it and make it 3-1, they then get a penalty and the leagues top scorer does a panenka which is saved. We go down the other end and make it 4-1. World class pass and finish from Jack Marriott.
Mad game. Lewis Wing was superb today, 2 goals, 1 assist and a ridiculous block that stopped a clear goal.

Feel the pain. I've been to all the crap games so far and the two games I miss we win 3-2 at home and 4-1 away!
Back on NYD, so put us down for a 0-0 or 0-1 defeat

Another game I can’t make! Was wanting to go with my lad and take him to watch some real football, but Mrs M has double booked us to visit her Mum and Step dad in Taunton before I go away again with workFeel the pain.

Hoping to get back in Feb and make a few games at the back end of season where hopefully we’ll be vying at least for a play off spot ( crosses fingers, toes and other extremities)

Ah gutted. Family comes first at this time of the year though.
Fingers crossed we can get a few new signings in and make a play off push
