3510 attendance

It's not so long ago that would have been a good gate.

That was amateur half hour. Appleton must be questioned as to why he named only two subs. At best the decision was petulant.

Protest over the scheduling at the last minute to appease the opponents and protecting players for Saturday. Youths play in a couple of days so no point filling the bench just to fill a bench.

 

[Max Arnold]

What a good way to spend the £10 refund, I enjoyed that, hopefully injuries are more knocks than anything else.

However it would have enabled us to finish with 11 players on the pitch. Not clever.

Sorry I realise that was why. I meant why he felt the risk of doing so was greater than the 'reward'.

I believe we won therefore it's all come up smelling of roses.

Well exactly. Good enough for Stuart Naylor...

That lovely day at Somerton Park….I had tried to forget that….hard to believe now but it did really happen. Young Imps probably think we are joking.

 

[bristolimp]

I am not feeling massively optimistic about this season I think we are weaker then last year by a significant margin and to that the players seems to be very fragile.

Hope I am wrong tell me i am wrong.

 

[WellingtonImp]

We just can’t keep a clean sheet, which means that we need to outscore the opposition each game. {Biting fingernails}

I'm not sure that forcing players to play the full 90 minutes because of the lack of subs is protecting them that well.

 

[Bazzzer]

Presumably ten grand in the kitty for the Christmas party.

Perhaps we should start against Oxford with 9 men to lessen the risk of more injuries.

 

[syimp]

Nlundulu isn't doing nearly as much work in defence as Hopper does.

Conversely, he's getting into far more advanced positions than Hopper does, despite missing a sitter.

riding your luck

We will see, it ain't no roses if we have injuries to players who could of easily been subbed instead

 

[Gratzimp]

Might of been a good thing he didn't fill the bench, the rate at which all the players are getting injured, or picking up knocks. Means we might manage to knock up a team for our next game. Never really known (memory a bit dodgy after 40 years following the Imps) a start to a seaso0n that has had so many players out. Unless ScottImp can tell us different??

9 you will be lucky. Just make sure they do not drop the Mayo jar in the kitchen

 

[clanfordimp]

On tonight's showing Bishop is going to be the key to this team.
The sooner he's playing regularly the better we will become.

 

[azz_88]

Scully saying just a tight groin and wanted to come off to make sure he didn't do any damage.

 

[bristolimp]

i wonder what tree he bought? I am fan of acer. Perhaps I missed heard him.
