They should never have sacked Big Mick. It was a stupid decision then and it's a stupid decision now.

I agree. Never understood why the fans seemed to be so against him.

Derby day for us today, hopefully with our good form behind us we will give the filthy sheep shagging Shrewsbury a good kicking.

Fuck! Bournemouth lost to L.Orient, they go down 7th and out of playoff place from top last 2 weeks ago.

WHAAAAAAAAAA! We won! And even better still is we're the featured club on the Football League (that part when Clem goes to a ground)! If we play like that every week we'll stay up, only problem is we won't play like that every week and we've got to play basically the whole top half of the table between now and the end of the season.

Very content with a 3-0 win over Burton. Johnny Ward has turned our season around despite a dire injury list. Due to the form of those below us, we're nowhere near out of the woods, but without him we'd have been cut adrift.

I've heard Rekik was terrible yesterday, what did you think of him?

He's not been great nope, but he's shown the odd flash to suggest he has something about him (which he must do, if he's highly rated by your staff).

Is his best position centre back or left back? He's been playing left back for us, but he's had either Markus Olsson (who's terrible) or Pedersen (can't run anymore) in front of him, which can't be ideal.

Hopefully he'll get better. He should do. Hardy anybody has played well the last four games, to be honest.

He's definitely a centre-back first and foremost. Good to know he's not been entirely useless 'cos that's certainly a more optimistic assessment of him than I read before

Almost calmed down after the Forest debacle after some thoroughly good performances (and a gubbing at Brighton, but that was expected). Drew with Ipswich though we were the better side (Ipswich had no attacking venture - worst side I've seen this season), great gutsy win at Burnley, defeat at Brighton though we hung in for 75 minutes and didn't get the luck for 2-1 (cue crapitulation with 3 goals in 5 minutes), then a deserved win over Middlesbrough, first time we've come from behind to win all season. Middlesbrough were awful - one shot on goal (which they scored) and thoroughly second best against a Town side who were much more at the races.

Hasn't scored since New Years. Has motivated Gus to get another striker on an emergency loan. Not too worried.

The Mirror are running a story that Ken Bates wants to buy us as a way back into football. Ffs.

Sean O'Driscoll working wonders down at Ashton Gate.

A win over Wolves on Tuesday would see us out of the relegation zone.

Ey, don't knock league two you'll miss out on the biggest team in the division though when we become the biggest team in non-league next year... ("Biggest team" part being tongue in cheek).

I fancy them to go up. Don't ask me why but I'd like to see them in League One just for the lols.

Home Park is one of the few places I look forward going to next season (providing you'll stay up). Never been there and probably a far better place to watch football than Accrington or Barnet.

If you draw us during the sunnier months (providing you do go down and we do go up) you'll love it, especially if you spend the day around Plymouth. We've got a great stadium (inc. our knackered Grandstand which is a big part of history although we're getting a new one soon) and a lovely pitch. The away end isn't the worst in the league either, there are some bad ones.

I was at Torquay two seasons ago when it was quite sunny. Loved it down there. However, I highly doubt I could spend the whole day at Plymouth. Trips from Manchester to Plymouth are very long and I can't afford hotels and stuff (uni life is stupid)

Can't you get a bed in a youth hostel or something? I'm sure there will be plenty around Plymouth.

Stayed in a travellodge type hotel in central Plymouth for about 30 quid when I saw Morrissey a few years ago. Just book it in advance, a hostel would be even cheaper.

Well if you get down early enough you could enjoy it on the barbican or the hoe, a bit away from the stadium though. But if you're down before 12 (I think - providing we stay up and you go down too blah blah blah) then we've got what we call a fans fest, it's like a mini party before the game, away fans welcome, class entertainment and the half time guest is there, sometimes a visit from the owners, it's a good craic.

At home to Tranmere tonight, If we were to win then our play-off push would really gain momentum, I think it will be 1-1 though.
