  1. I hope the fans are OK. I didn't see the ambulance leave (it was still there towards the end), so hopefully that is a good sign. I think we would have learned a lot from that game. Last year at 2-0 we would have just lifted the foot off the gas a little and still run out 3 or 4 winners. My feeling is that old habits kicked in and we tried to do the same on Saturday, Like at Sutton we showed that if we are only 98% on it we lose control of the game. On the flip side the way we reacted to going 2 -2 showed to me that we had gears to go up whenever we wanted. Even when they got their 3rd I thought we would win, because when we wanted to, we could pull them apart. FGR also upped their game at the start of the second half which seemed to catch us off guard and we lost momentum. I don't think we give FGR enough credit for coming back at us like they did. Their pressing at the start of the second half really stretched us and stopped us getting going. I think this pressure forced some of the defensive mistakes. When we were on top, their defence made as many mistakes as ours, I think that was the nature of the game. I'm not saying our defence is perfect or don't have mistakes in them, but I don't think they were solely culpable for the goals, and maybe the it wasn't individual errors as such, but a systemic issue and we need to learn to be able to be more resilient under pressure (something we didn't get a lot of experience of last season). I don't think there will be many opportunities to rest in game as there were last year, so I think we will see more of the squad players as the season progresses. I thoroughly enjoyed the game. My next game is likely to be at Gillingham (it is just up the road from me).
  2. I'll join in. Five years ago I was quite fit - running 89minute half marathon, 18 1/2 minute 5km etc. Then I got injured falling over and wrecked my ankle. 4 years later I was 95kg, so I signed up for the Rob Burrow marathon in Leeds and although I finished some 1hour 40 minutes slower than my previous marathon attempt I did it. Unfortunately I didn't really lose a lot of weight getting down to 88kg, so now I am planning on a few Half Marathons next year to try and get back to around 1:35 ish.... so I need to lose weight. I am currently 92kg (another injury) so I have a hill to climb. My target is 75ish kg for 'The Big Half' at the start of September next year (it will be too hot for me to do 'the time' that will need to wait for 2025). Here goes!!
  3. 5 again.. like my fitness watch keeps telling me - I'm getting worse and worse! Wordle 829 5/6 ???? ???? ???????? ???????????????? ????????????????????
  4. I was only little when it happened.. they didn't tell me until he had moved as they knew that's exactly what I would have done!!
  5. I was at the game with my partner, sister, brother in law and nephew. What a game. Notts and our fans are winning my partner over (she previously hated football). The play is exciting and the fans are really funny and the chants are all in great humour. We loved the Sutton game for that reason too. After we had a take away with my sister, then yesterday made our way back to Thanet. It was a great weekend.
  6. Surely they don't need glasses to find the ball. They just needed to look in the back of their net!
  7. Jimmy Sirrel gazumped my parents on a house once... my parents didn't seem to mind at all. Anybody else though....
  8. Thanks to a silly guess I got a 5. Wordle 828 5/6 ???? ???????? ???? ????????????????????
  9. I think our possession based approach will make it tough for anyone to compete. I think FGR are fragile and if we dominate possession as we can, score early then it could be an avalanche (hopefully). If FGR gain in confidence then I think it could be closer, but I still hope for a stylish win for us. I'm coming up from East Kent, so I really hope so!!
  10. I'm hopeless with films... I drive my partner insane with my inability to spot actors, so I am in no doubt your quiz will be wasted on me. She loves the cinema, so has to put up with it alot! However, my favourite film is a similar question to your favourite song... the answer is 'it depends'. Best overall film has to be Shawshank Redemption Most moving I think is Boys N Da Hood Most confusing Asteroid City - I came out not knowing what the hell I had just seen (but I'm told that is standard for Wes Anderson) Funniest there are many... but the Cornetto Trilogy is good. But, the after writing all that... Monty Python and the Holy Grail has to be my favourite as I have watched it so many times!
  11. 3 for me too.. Wordle 825 3/6 ???? ???????????????? ????????????????????
  12. I should have read the clue first, it would have saved me 2 guesses. Wordle 824 4/6 ???????????? ???????????????? ???????????????? ????????????????????
  13. so many options!! Wordle 823 6/6 ???????????? ???????????? ???????????????? ???????????????? ???????????????? ????????????????????
  14. Open and shut case... Wordle 822 3/6 ???????? ???????????? ????????????????????
  15. I thought I had it in 3, but no..4! Wordle 821 4/6 ???? ???????? ???????????????? ????????????????????
  16. That took some effort! I got there in the end...just! Wordle 818 6/6 ???????? ???????????? ???????????? ???????????? ???????????? ????????????????????
  17. That's what I understood. I think the other lot were called 'The Garibaldis' after another gang.
  18. I get it now!!
  19. Of course.. wasn't that made by Courtaulds in Spondon? Chemical manufacture is my area.. or stopping the manufacturing plants from blowing up is anyway.
  20. The EFL trophy is a bastardised competition. It is neither a competition for lower league sides, nor a competition for academy squads. As a result it is treated with the respect it deserves - weak teams and small crowds. It needs a rethink to make it one thing or the other...a reserve team competition with the academy teams, or a lower league competition without them.
  21. Back to standard.. Wordle 817 4/6 ???? ???????????? ???????????????? ???????????????????? I've no idea what that word means.
  22. In a shock outcome.. I managed 3 today!! Wordle 816 3/6 ???????? ???????????? ????????????????????
  23. It will be quite difficult to achieve as we lost the first game!!
  24. Ahh we only get Brighton and South East London news here - despite being miles from either! Occasionally they mention Gillingham but rarely more easterly (unless it is bad news).
