    Brad’s interview

    Scally still has a potential role in negotiating with agents, players and other clubs - or at least, advising on what is and isn't a good deal, and what beneficial "extras" we can squeeze into contracts. He's proved himself pretty good at that down the years.

    Points prediction for top 7? Ever the optimist

    We have to forget about the other contenders. It's what we do that counts. 74 points has to be the target. That's 5 wins out of 7. Our form over the season would suggest we're incapable of stringing together such a run - I still fear the recent home draws will cost us in the end - but hope...

    New England shirt N/G

    Nike trying to be clever with a gimmick and the FA being their usual stupid selves in not anticipating the backlash. A flag is a flag - you don't mess with it. There's a simple solution - don't buy the shirt. I really hope there's a big boycott, so that Nike take a serious financial hit. It...

    Gills Vital 2023/2024 Prediction League - Match 45: Gillingham Vs Grimsby Town

    What, no one going for a stonking victory by more than 1 goal? Can't imagine why!

    The Official AFC Wimbledon Match Thread (Sponsored by The Closest Away Day "for all your "At Least We'll be Home Early..." needs)

    It's a measure of how bad the second half of the season has largely been that some of us are seriously contemplating Clemence being sacked! He certainly hasn't covered himself in glory recently - some baffling decisions, wrong starting XIs and passionless interviews. I find the pattern of one...

    Who would you keep from this rabble??

    It's a short list. Ogie Masterson (hoping he's having a blip) Hutton Coleman Jonny Williams (unless we can find an improvement - not easy) [Edit: On reflection, Max has possibly earned another 12 months.] Jury out on Andrews (as we haven't seen him!) and Max Clark - but he's probably ok for...

    The Official AFC Wimbledon Match Thread (Sponsored by The Closest Away Day "for all your "At Least We'll be Home Early..." needs)

    I agree that interview was not what we needed to hear. The thing is, is he saying that to protect the players or does he believe it?

    The Official AFC Wimbledon Match Thread (Sponsored by The Closest Away Day "for all your "At Least We'll be Home Early..." needs)

    Massive waste of a season, when the support has been so good. Everyone to blame - recruiters, manager, players, even the Galinsons for the mess when Harris left. We have to use the summer for a clean start

    The Official AFC Wimbledon Match Thread (Sponsored by The Closest Away Day "for all your "At Least We'll be Home Early..." needs)

    Let’s face it, this squad is not good enough. Too many individuals, one good team performance every 4-5 games. It’s all about the summer recruitment - and Clemence needs to be braver.

    Lack of goal threat from open play

    The shortage of goals from open play is the worst I've known in half a century of supporting the Gills. Definitely a pace issue - not just in individual players, but also how ponderous we are in shifting the ball. For example - don't pass it between the back 5 several times if you're then going...

    Interesting News Around the Football League

    I love that statement. Heartfelt and transparent. Excellent comms (speaking as a PR guy!).

    Electioneering has started

    Simple formula (my theory): Conservative - primarily motivated by individual self-interest (what's in it for me?) Labour/Liberals - motivated by the greater good of wider society Simple choice.

    Electioneering has started

    If anyone still needs convincing about how badly this Tory shower have served us, have a look at this. First Govt since WW2 to leave us with worse living standards than when they started.

    Ethan Coleman

    That’s where release clauses can work - allowing players to leave if the valuation is met.

    #IFELLINLOVE

    As someone living in Notts, I lost a lot of respect for the Forest fans that day. They way they celebrated when they realised the results had conspired to send us down was pretty unpleasant. It's hardly as if we're their deadly rivals.

    Ethan Coleman

    Pretty much the first name on the team sheet for me. We need to get him, Shad and Masterson tied up on longer contracts asap. All will leave us at some point, but we need to protect our assets and ensure we get decent money for them when they do.

    The Official Salford City Match Thread (Sponsored by the Class of 92 "for all your investment-seeking needs")

    As lots of others have said, a top away performance. The back 5 were really solid, the middle 3 worked very hard (Jonny was brilliant) and Hawkins immense. Great game management - something we really lacked under Harris. The second goal came at the perfect time. After that, the biggest threat...

    Salford

    5 of our family going - including daughter who lives in Manchester anyway and son who's coming down from Edinburgh! New league ground for all of us and number 100 for me! I really hope the team can show some consistency and put on another decent performance after Wrexham...

    Don't Panic!

    Our "performance" at Grimsby was unbelievably bad and that was it with Harris for me. We were lucky to get nil that day. Shows how things can change a lot in a few months.
