The Lower League Thread

Warnock sacked by Leeds.

Blackburn keeper Paul Robinson out for 6 months with a blood clot on his lung. That sounds incredibly nasty.

Jake K**n (current number 1, pretty good) is out for the rest of the season too, so we've got a random Pole in net for the relegation run in

Grzegorz Sandomierski? I heard he ain't that bad. Big money move from Bialystok to Genk a few saisons ago, three caps for Poland. Not too bad if you ask me

Has anyone (aside from Rhodes?) came out of the season with any credit?

Where do you reckon Blackburn would have finished with the same squad and a competent manager (Appleton?) in charge all season?

If Kean had stayed d'you reckon you'd have gone up? Obviously you were high up the league when he walked so interesting to see how you feel he'd have done despite your obvious dislike (hatred?) of him? Wonder what a bit of stability could have done.

Well going along with that my local team (Halifax) have 12 games to play in the month of April plus the players have other jobs to go to as well. These boys in the prem moaning about twice in 3 days need to man the fuck up and get on with it considering how much fitter and how much better paid they'll be

It's actually 3 games in 5 days.

Ironic? just fact.

Anyway, we beat Macc 3-1 last night. Dunno if our Macclesfield supporter is still on here these days?

Apparently, Macc reckoned our 3rd goal was offside as the ball played through went forwards.... Pretty comical that they don't know the rules. The lad who scored ran from 10 yards behind the play.

Not a chance. You always get a load of random teams near the top early on in every season. I remember Hull, who'll probs go up automatically now, came here second game of the season and saw people like Murphy's name on the team sheet and were desperate for a 0-0, little did they know our squad looks ten times better on paper than it actually is. 2 of his Kean's last four games were defeats to MK Dons and Middlesborough too.

Clueless Kean had to go for Rovers to move forward, but there hasn't been any stability here since the moment that lot walked through the door.

Seen the highlights from the Bolton game.

1. What was Clarke doing for their goal?
2. When was the last time anyone saw a backpass given? I ask as on the highlights Zat Knight deliberately passes it back to Lonergan, who has to palm it around the post. Has the law changed so merely handling a backpass is no longer a free kick, and in fact the ball has to be under control?
3. Can see why the ref didn't give a penalty, which doesn't change the fact we should have had a penalty. Scannell got caught but made too much of it. Ref gave a dive, though the contact is pretty clear for all to see, knee on knee.

Anyone know how to get to Crawley?
