READY OR NOT?

So, nice idea but maybe a bit premature? Having now played 3 foreign teams this season we’re not faring to well with a sole home win and two defeats. Stick the results together and we’d be lucky to get past the first round of the UEFA cup – but that’s all for the future – possibly. We’re just not ready yet. The big shame about these friendly matches is that cards picked up now count towards suspensions and two reds was not what we would have liked as Semedo and the other fella will now miss propa matches when we could do with them ... well Semedo anyway. So without dwelling on this ‘practice’ excursion abroad or the deafly silence on the proposed takeover too much for now I’ll attempt to round up the rest of the division two action without attempting to appear too bothered by any of it – we may not have moved down the table but some ‘team’(s) have moved above us – it’s time for a change – JOIN THE REVOLUTION!

BURNLEY 1 - BIRMINGHAM 1
A header from Chris McCann gains an unexpected share of the spoils against second placed brummies.
croydon 3 – BARNSLEY 0
Blah, blah, blah.
DERBY 2 – PLYMOUTH 1
A great strike from Gallagher is not enough to stop Derby continue their upturn in form.
DONCASTER 0 – BLACKPOOL 0
Donny off the bottom – what else do you want to know?
PRESTON 2 – READING 1
Noel is tackled in the box so brother Liam steps up to score the penalty. However two keeper flaps cost Reading dearly oop norf.
QPR 2 – FOREST 1
Take note Add9icks - This shows that if you have enough money you can buy success – even if you put a plank in charge of spending it.
SHEFF W 1 – SHEFF U 0
Wednesday get the local bragging rights in a game which saw six yellow and two red cards!
SOUTHAMPTON 0 – WATFORD 3
Two missed penalties (Saints), three goals and five bookings - all in the first half – CAFC v Reading déjà vu?
WOLVES 2 – COVENTRY 1
millwall mick wins this local south (of) London derby against ‘nigel’ taffy coleman. Big Chris misses from close range again and Wolves remind me of one of the many modern introductions into our game which our new owners should steer well clear of – playing music over the tannoy when the home team wins – please Allah no!

So that’s it short if not sweet – get ready for back to back home matches against Bristol City (9th) and Burnley (11th) who both sit higher than our meagre 17th – oh happy days – not!

JOIN THE REVOLUTION !!!
