Bury look more likely to be saved at least. I hope this deal does save them.
And now Bolton threatened with expulsion again over their protracted takeover. Football is so depressing at times.

It looks to me that the EFL only seems to have tools to punish clubs rather than help ones in genuine peril, and it just ends up with a negative spiral. I accept serial rule-breakers need to face some form of penalty and its pretty obvious Bury & Bolton have ended up in the hands of some people who have no business in being involved as football club owners, but I'm not convinced they've been entirely helpful throughout this debacle.
EDIT: This was posted before Bolton's administrators put out a statement saying the takeover collapsed and the club is to be liquidated this week if it doesn't meet the new EFL deadline tomorrow. Its looking pretty fatal.

What a complete fucking mess.

My great hope is that we'll meet again. Preferably because Bury have risen from the ashes to make it back to the Football League.

1-0 up, James Collins takes a dive. I can't say anything other than that. There's no contact, I've watched the replay half a dozen times looking and it just doesn't exist. He's come blindside and thrown himself over as soon as he can. And the ref buys it. 1-1. The lad's going to get a 2-match ban, but that's not going to bring us any points and kick-start our season.
If the first is an understandable error from the referee after having pressure applied, the second is inexplicable. We have a player down with a head injury. The law's absolutely clear: stop the game immediately. There's no excuse in the world that should let the officials off that one. It's not hard to understand. It's not a subjective judgement. Head injury = stop play. There was a significant stoppage after the goal for Jonathan Hogg to receive treatment and he was later subbed off. I do have to say I do agree once again with Hudson's comments on it and we should share some responsibility, but it's not responsibility we should have to share because it's absolutely straightforward.
So yeah. What should be a welcome relief from the utter misery of the last 18 months has been snatched from us. I should say that at 0-0 in the first half we were shambolic, but the second half was miles better. After getting in at 0-0 you're thinking we might just nick something, but apparently not.

If they bring a winning mentality, hard work and results, that's all we can ask for.

Make that 5 wins in a row! First time since 2013!

Southend actually managed a win and a clean sheet after letting in 64456 goals in previous 8 games.

6 ON THE BOUNCE! WHAT EVEN IS THIS!

To give the ref his dues, I think a majority of officials would have blown for a foul with the keeping error. Not many would have allowed the goal to stand for fear of having made a mistake. On the other hand, how he didn't give us two penalties is mystifying. The first one is a trip and the second... Bloody hell. He's got a fistful of shirt, taken both legs out and got nowhere near the ball. After the last 18 months it's really difficult to stomach. We're down here because we've made horrendous mistakes, but when everything out of your control is also going against you in games where otherwise you're doing the majority of things right it just feeds the negative mindset. In a one-off game it sparks a fighting spirit, but when you've been down on your heels, haven't won on a Saturday in over 500 days, have been relegated, have lost 43 of the last 61 games, etc, it just compounds the misery.
We're poor. But we're also owed a hell of a lot of luck.

7 Wins on the bounce for little old Yeovil town in their revival. Second in the National league now and just a point off Bromley who we beat 3-1 on Saturday. Coupld of tough games coming up now.

Perfectly executed away game plan. Stoke were reduced to potshots from outside the box and never really troubled us. We had few shots, but we did create the two best chances of the game and buried one of them. With the ball we were pretty appalling, but without it we were solid and disciplined - we did the basics out of possession well and after being so shaky, cannot complain.

Thumping win today. There was a sense of catharsis about the result with certain players and it was good to see smiles on faces again. Hopefully this can give us a real springboard up the table.
And take note of the quality of the goals we're scoring at the moment. This week we've bagged 5, all of which have been superb in their own way. Both Grant's and Bacuna's were fantastic finishes today (no idea how Grant turned and shot for his, really great play with his back to goal, while Bacuna's was just a sweet, sweet strike of the ball), with the build up for Kachunga's being worthy of note.
Dan
The end of the winning streak. We blew it against Hartlepool, trailed 1-0 just after the break. Equalised in the 91st minute only to then be countered and concede in the 92nd minute to lose 2-1! Signs of Yeovil old unfortunately. Roll on Tuesday night, at home to promotion chasing Woking.

Tough place to go, good point, move on to Middlesbrough in midweek.

God this is an embarrassing time for our club. I'm 99% sure they aren't any of our regulars, but it brings shame on our club now. The racial abuse is only 'alleged' at this stage, with many claiming it didn't happen. However things did get out of hands when a bottle was thrown.
I'm all for us being kicked out the cup, but it'll be harsh when they're not our fans, they're probably not even football fans acting like that.
