As the title says, at your discretion, feel free to share how yours went.

Mine was good. I had a few days when I had caught a bug which annoys me because I don't like feeling unwell for multiple days. I spent most of the day doing stuff in the background, whilst watching TV in the living room.Β 

Some good films were on, but the strangest thing was the days you'd expect to see films shown, only to see repeats of old TV shows dominating the listings.

That's fine, we just fired up our Android box and loaded Jellyfin to watch stuff.

Christmas itself was pretty standard, aside from helping Jake build his first full PC build for his eldest sister Ellie. We watched a few things, then had Christmas dinner and then went to wish @GrannyPieΒ a happy birthday. It was nice to see GP and @super_ramΒ open up their gifts.

New Year we didn't celebrate it, I spent most of the day watching The Goldbergs. ????

I never had anything against Wrexham at all. They've been in the Conference for 15 years now, so surely they've done their time. It's a proper club with a good and loyal fanbase and the Football League is better with them in it. I don't even mind their owners - they're not in it for sportswashing, or to get their faces in the local rag more often, or to make some quick cash by flogging the ground - they're doing it for fun.

BUT I'm sick and tired of the antics of some of their fans online. Even posts about Meadow Lane, which are nothing to do with their club at all. are brigaded by arrogant, condescending Wrexham fans telling us how much bigger they are. It's just exhausting. I know the brief Munto phase brought the worst out of some Notts fans in 2009-10, but were they really THAT bad?

Or should I just spend less time online?

We seem to be lacking a match thread for this (blame all the rearranged fixtures), so I've made one.

Really disappointed with last night's result. We had lots of possession, but it was all too slow, ponderous and predictable. We also had some really dodgy moments passing it around the back (Baldwin played himself into trouble more than once), so the visitors' lead was no surprise. We looked a different side after the break, but quickly reverted to type after equalising. We didn't do enough to win against a hard-working but average team.

Looks like we've firmly handed the initiative back to Wrexham, if not (yet) top spot.

"Fidel" has signed up on loan to Gateshead for the rest of the season....... I wonder why?????.... Not a very glamorous move in my opinion!!!!!Β 

Here we are again then - if you want to have a go, send in your prediction by 3pm on Saturday and remember your joker!

Dear All,

Happy new year. I am involved in a university research project looking at the recent World Cup in Qatar and whether this was a highly unusual tournament, unlikely to be repeated, or the start of future World Cups loaded with political and social issues. To answer this, we have created a short survey that I hope you can spare a few minutes to share your views:

  • Like dripsey3 says, a point isn’t bad, it’s just our current form and the fact we took the lead each time makes it feel like 2 points lost. Still averaging over 2 points a game and that’s the main thing.

    I’ll have to wait to see the highlights but the first goal sounded like a right gaffe and the penalty a soft one too.

    Very frustrating that we're still handing out presents now that Christmas is done. I think Slocombe was mainly at fault for the first goal, he rushed out to clear the danger after Oldham attempted a fast break, but instead of putting it out of play he scudded a fast pass to Bajrami(?), who was being closed down rapidly and was dispossessed before he knew what was happening. The penalty looked a really clumsy challenge, but it was hard to tell whether Cameron brought down his opposite number, or whether the Oldham man went down and dragged him down with him. Very annoying as the cross was overhit and there was no genuine danger. We were lucky not to lose at the death though.

    But in spite of all our possession, we never really had the game under control and Oldham worked hard for their point. It definitely feels like two points lost given the fact that we were leading twice.

Thursday football is just wrong, but blame the powers that be, not me. Kick-off is 7.45pm, and remember your jokers!

Β 

Millwall v Bristol City

Wigan Athletic v Sunderland

Forest Green Rovers v Burton Albion

Morecambe v Accrington Stanley

Shrewsbury Town v Cheltenham Town

Grimsby Town v Salford City

Northampton Town v Swindon Town

Walsall v Stockport County

Has anyone tried this out yet? I missed Saturday's match so I'm giving tonight's match a go instead. Seems decent value for 4.75 during the beta phase, and it'll be a godsend for us exiled fans. No harm in giving it a go.

I hope there'll be some kind of subscription on offer though. A tenner a week to watch football on your laptop is quite steep.

What is Father Christmas bringing you? In my case I'm hoping for more than the usual four points! These games kick off at 3pm on Boxing Day, and remember your jokers! And if I don't post again till then, have a great Christmas everybody!

    Even without Macca I thought we’d be ok today given Oldham haven’t won away all season. Scott’s no slouch, he’s got a great goal scoring return this season and today showed he’s not about to be outdone by his mate.

    I feel like I’m just repeating myself, but we are a well-oiled machine now, dominating and scoring at will. I’m just trying to ignore Wrexham/Chesterfield and enjoy this team. Only 1 loss so far this season and we could have 60 points before the year is out. Insane.

    Complete opposite for Oldham though, I remember when their new owner was like β€œWho are Dorking?” on his first interview. I think he thought they’ll be fine in this league but they’ve seriously underestimated it and have found that out the hard way. They’ll do well to stay up.Β 

    Great result, and good to see us putting the match to bed early on. Is there any news about Langstaff? I take it this game came a little too soon for him.Β 

    We've got plenty of goals elsewhere though - Scott is also on target for 20 goals for the season...
