last i knew i think he was playing at basford.

@liampie 2018/19 mate, last I knew he was at Gedling Miners.

I thought Greg would have a decent league career, as when he came through our ranks I admired his passing ability. He's becoming a journeyman for teams around the east-midlands and in the lower Non-League. His biggest mistake was joining Lincoln after leaving us; it's all been downhill since then. He should've stepped down and built his career up from the ground up.

@Piethagoram When was this? A recent account or at some other point?

Video released last weekend... 

3 points. +3 to the goal difference. Wrexham drew. All in all, a good day's work. 

Top of the league, and one more win till we're safe from relegation but seriously, we could quite easily have ended up like Scunny after going down. They've got it all on to stay up.

Usually, when Notts goes one down - that 'here we go' feeling starts to sink in. I don't think I have had it so far this campaign, I felt Notts would get back into the game if they created chances. It seems we certainly took them!

The 4-1 result was probably flattering for us, but the goals were all very well taken.

Jim O'Brien getting on the scoresheet is nice to see, hopefully, he can continue to prove the doubters wrong that he's past it. Just like the here we go feeling, I never doubted Jim.

Haha... the third goal!

When I was told Jim O'Brien had scored, it made me smile. Seeing the goal, what a clean strike.

Good luck to him, I would welcome having him part of our setup.

He knows his stuff.

I hate to write this, but the Bury fans are blaming the "football authorities" for an issue that is only part of the problem within football.

Clubs need to self-administre themselves by the book.

Owners need to take account of their own failures, their own spending habits.

The F.A/Premier League/Football League and National League all must collectively put into place actions not only to safeguard clubs from collapsing but to also make sure that clubs aren't over spending. Does issuing fines really solve this? Does docking points?

I would argue it makes the situation a lot more difficult to resolve, as no fairytale buyer will come forward unless they believe in their own resources.

Should these actions come once a club is safe from over spending?

Even this risks owners who exploit the system and rules, so it's incredibly complex.

It will always come back to the fans being punished for other people's mistakes.

Yet it isn't for the footballing bodies to solely resolve or take 100% of the blame, as that is incredibly naive to think.

Fans also need to take some form of accountability in my opinion, because it's all very well cheering having signed x, y and z. Whilst chasing promotion, or just spending enough to try to float above the danger zones, but it all comes back to spending within your means. I do acknowledge not everyone will have an idea about their club's resources, spending etc.

Yet there's this unhealthy habit in football where greed and ambition turns its ugly head, then you find fans who support spending beyond their means for short term rewards without contemplating the long term damage.

Interesting 

As you know I am Everton fan and I have few friends evertonians who live in Liverpool and who I talk a lot about the club with.

They blame the owner for transfer mistakes and want more spending by club. But at the same time they complain about tickets prices,  merchandise prices, etc. And now they complain about 10% season tickets price rising for next season. 

And I don’t understand how you do want the club spend more but YOU DO NOT want spend more? 

Ah... I missed the most important part.

I am aware that some members have expressed issues with the Facebook login feature. The last time I explored resolving the issue, the goal posts had been moved as they made this function only for registered businesses. Yet it seems that the goal posts have yet again moved, and I will be working on resolving the issue.

Since next weekend is FA Cup weekend (remember that?), so that's it for a couple of weeks. Our next round is on Saturday 3 December, the the fixtures will be online a few days prior to that, as per usual. Thanks for playing and see you then!

Well we can't be too critical after a really good season so far( FA cup apart which was abysmal), so accept the point and move on. Cant help thinking that we are slowly getting a complex about where we are and struggling to cope with lofty ambitions. 

Cooper started our dismal day.... Making the teams change ends before kick off... I bet he remembered from his time here a few seasons ago... Its worked several times over the years.... 

That was a frustrating listen, and in hindsight the "twist" was so predictable it could've been on Eastenders. A record crowd after having scored for 39 consecutive home games? It's sod's law.

It's annoying but we just have to pick up the winning habit again as soon as we can.

I thought this was an old thread at first. Thought they had all this behind them?

It was us having to worry about winding up petitions not too long ago.

And my lot too & still under embargos.I I don't wish any club this kind of worry.  

Good little interview, I get what he’s saying about needing to improve as a player. Luke has brought out another side to him. He's affecting games from deeper, helping us control games and has more defensive duties too. He’s pretty much a complete player now. But Ian improved him massively too, it was under Neal Ardley where he struggled.

You can tell Ruben is committed to getting us up (as are a lot of our players) and if we do achieve it this season I still think he’ll be gone regardless – but I’m not thinking about that now, just got to enjoy him while we can!

Well deserved. Hope it doesn't curse him.

What an excellent result against what was the second best home team in the division! Also nice to stick it to some of the Wrexham fans who decided to gloat during their three days in first place

Luke Berry, you beautiful specimen 

Well that's much better than last time!

The results:

Luton Town 1-1 Rotherham United

The next round will be on Saturday, so the fixtures will be online about Wednesdayish. See you then!

We have been incredibly clinical at times this season so three goals isn't absurd, but given Southend's very good form I think if we do win it won't be by that sort of margin.

Neither side had an FA Cup game so both teams will be fresh and I agree, two in form teams, should be a great game. I can't image we'll make too many changes maybe just Brinds in for Baldwin, so Rawlinson back in the middle of the back three. And Langstaff is surely due a goal now too, it's been 2 games without! 

I think if had to bet on it I'd go for a draw too. And I'd take it, assuming we can finally get a win at Eastleigh as that would be 4 points from our double header of away games this week.

Two ponts thrown away, I still think we should have had enough to win but fair play to Southend.

Good game, thought Southend did well to disrupt our build up on the whole. Slocombe had way too many touches for my liking, we needed to be a bit braver progressing the ball instead of playing safe. When we broke the lines we looked dangerous, we just didn’t do it enough.

I think the Southend first goal is lucky, 9 times out of 10 if you push a player in the back two handed you get a free kick… But there you go.

Draw was a fair result in the end, and I think Southend will be in the play-offs come the end of the season and are likely to take points off our rivals too.
