Goal kick?! And yes, the top 4 now just separated by a point, very exciting.

Free-kick I meant!

Very tight at the top.
Bradford move to 9th:smile:
Well we won in the London Senior Cup tonight :biggrin: 4-0, most of our team are new players or reserves so decent result.

Barnsley lost 4-3 to Coventry.
They were always behind in the game but it's still typical of them to go hard against a top team and load every game to the teams around them.

My Grandfather is gonna be so pissed :tongue:


Apparently it should've been a cricket score by half time but as in Saturday's game if you don't put the game to bed when you have the chance you usually regret it and we nearly did tonight, so fair enough to Barnsley.
So Hull are top of the Championship tonight after Brighton failed to beat Sheffield Wednesday in what was a poor game.

They desperately need defensive cover and to keep Armstrong tbh.


Reda is a big loss at the back. He dominates in the air, which is useful against some of the cloggers in the division. Armstrong is so important.

Very good result today pushing the up the table. Fantastic freekick from Cole, he should be a great addition and the quality.
Watched FC United's sixth consecutive league defeat tonight. Miserable stuff.

There's a large group of fans planning to boycott the first half of the FA Cup game against Chesterfield, so I'll keep you updated on how that pans out.

Honestly? The FC United haven't competed at this level before and its completely new territory for them. This should be a year of learning for the club. Relegation would hurt but they should understand this season wont be easy. Are the owners messing around it something?

I was at the MK Dons - Hull game on Saturday and Hull seemed to have the knack of winning a game even though they weren't at their best. They got a (slightly controversial) goal but otherwise MK were the better team, but Hull were solid enough in defence and then grabbed a second on the break at the end.

At least we beat Charlton though - 4 points clear of the relegation zone. :smile:

Maybe they'll break off and form a new club

Looked at Hulls squad as well and it's the same one that went down. They should win that league easily.

Don't be so pedantic. You know what I mean.

They still have Snodgrass to come back as well

Chris Powell sacked by Huddersfield after 13 months in charge. He becomes the fifth managerial casualty of the season in the Championship.
Inb4 "kick it out" makes a statement :colone:
Well then, Shaun McCoulsky has made an impressive jump from the Ryman League (step 7) over to Bristol City (step 2). Incredible step up really and well played to the boy, spoken to him a couple of times at the club and he's always had potential. If he's anything like Erhun Otzumer is at Peterborough, then he will become a quality player.

Otzumer scored a belter at the weekend.

Meanwhile, McNamara takes over at York City.

Did that for us entirely through the season we won the Ryman South title. Turkish Messi that boy is.
There's a few really impressive players in League One this year. Armstrong, El Khayati, Oztumer etc.

The proposed boycott is to do with the fixture being moved to Monday night for TV, nothing to do with the run of form. The idea is to come in en masse at half time with anti-BT banners after making lots of noise outside the ground.

Surely the team deserves support though? The players don't have a say in this.
