    Good win on Saturday, but back down to earth with a 4-1 drubbing at Eric Morecombe's old team last night for Stanley. However, still hanging on to fourth spot!

    I see your manager has found a way to get Jordan Rhodes scoring again. I'm pleased for him as he was a great striker for us back in the day but seemed to have lost his way recently.

    So  sad  to  see  Huddersfield  &  Bristol  Rovers  had  a  horrid  Saturday  but  hope  that  'Forest  keep    that  clean  sheet  at  least  ( But  winning  1 -- 0  after  11  mins  so  far  ).

    Would  have  suggested  you  take  advice  and  guidance  from  Crewe  A  but  that  would  be  rather  cheeky  I  reckon.

    Cannot  quit  for  the  night  without  saying  how  sad  to  hear  Glenn  Hoddle  has  been  rushed  from  Studio  to  Hospital  Thoughts  with  him,  his  family  &  colleagues.

    And our bogey team is Fulham. Aggregate score over two matches the last time we played them in the Championship 9-1😡

    I'm sure every football fan will wish Glenn Hoddle a speedy recovery.

    The tragic events at Leicester Football Club are also grabbing the headlines and fans everywhere sending their condolences and best wishes to all concerned.

    Don't  say  that  OP,  some  of  us  would  see  Mid  Table  as  a  reasonable  but  distant  target  frown

    But  I  do  have  to  admit  that  the  Alex  regularly  turn  out  with  up  to  EIGHT  or  NINE  Crewe  academy  trained  players  on  the  pitch  at  the  start  of  a  league  match,  so  they  have  not  junked  the long term  Club  targets  despite  the  trials  &  tribulations  of  being  a  financially  embarrassed  Club.

    Thanks for the reply. I am a Leeds man and the top of the Championship is up and down like a yoyo! Wonder how it will end up. The Canaries have done very well after everybody writing them off.

     Steven Gerrard is going along quite nicely. If Rangers splash out on the players he wants then I think he might do well.

    I'm getting a bit twitchy now. Six hours to kick off and I think this is a " must win" match tonight.

    This match could define our season. Mind you I've spoken to a few supporters who wouldn't see a return to the Championship as the end of the world.

    Come on you Terriers

    Good luck for tonight's match, Rog, as you say, it's a must win one, but definitely winnable.

    Manchester derby next Sunday, and I'm getting twitchy already.....

    A bit off topic, but what do CT footy fans think about Wayne Rooney playing in the upcoming England friendly game....🤔

    Might as well recall Bobby Charlton and his team mates too!

    England love to keep playing their 'star names' for far too long imho. Move on Southgate and give some talent from the U19's a chance instead

    Sorry I didn't post earlier. I was home too late after the match on Monday and yesterday I had to drive down to rescue my eldest from A&E in Leicester take her home to Lincolnshire and look after her last night. I've just got back from retrieving her car from Leicester, and driving home, having spent most of the day at the fracture clinic at QMC in Nottingham.

    But yes a hard fought 3 points and I thought they'd finally scored a home goal only for the dubious goals panel to give it as an own goal.

    One of these days Town will win by more than a single goal and I'll have some fingernails left!

    ps. My view on the Rooney situation is this; by all means let him walk out at half time and receive some kind of tribute but he shouldn't be in the squad.

    With  respect  to  your  final  point,  Pliers  :--

    Before  the  World  Cup  &  similar  competitions  came  along  we  only  had  "The  Home  Championships"  and  Friendlies.  Now  there  are  almost  League -  like  tournaments  with  the  so called  warm  up  matches  before  them. The  Friendly  against  the  U.S.A.  is,  I  believe,  intended  to  boost  the  attraction  of  football ( Soccer  as  the  Yanks  call  it  smile )  and  bolster  the  Charity  sponsored  by  Wayne  Rooney  which  bears  his  name.  If  it  succeeds  in  doing  those  things  I'd  not  have  any  qualms  about  selecting  the  man,  he's  too  proud  to  want  to  look  a  pillock  on  the  pitch  I  think.

    Well we actually scored a goal at home and by one of our own players.unfortunately we couldn't get the win over the line but a draw will have to do. In the corresponding match last season we lost 4-1 so that's a vast improvement

    WeLl,  despite providing a kennel and food for the ref's guide dog today, Rovers still had to battle with 10 men to avoid that "concentrating on the league" feeling. Should have had a pen as well and hit the woodwork 3 times in the second half. Still, we live to fight (not literally, Stuart!) Another day. And as Mrs M says "it's only a game" (what?!! laughing)
