    School Protests

    Gandhi? Suffragettes? Rosa Parks? Berlin Wall? Mandela after his arrest? What doesn't work is violent protest: unless you have greater military power or get lucky (Winter Palace 1917) everyone will dig their heels in, in defiance of the disciples causing mayhem. Despite the best efforts of...

    Will we stay up

    Yes. As Nick has already said, Godden is our saviour and will score all the goals we could ever need.

    You probably know loads more than me, I'm just self-teaching and making it up as I go along. I agree they look like normal spuds but I always plant them out when they chit (albeit in a different bag in case of disease) and it's always worked out ok.

    School Protests

    Interesting, there is an article in this week's Spectator making the same point. I have no problem with anyone believing anything they wish, be it their God or Critical Race Theory. I have a big problem when they start believing that what they think is so important that it has to be forced...

    Another good point. Had Godden been available, would he have missed all the opportunities that Max has? Half of those go in and we'd be much higher in the table. Nobody ever expected us to be anywhere much higher than 18th. However, I also wonder if many of those opportunities would have...

    I think you are right. Just look at the difference in QPR since last time. However we're not the only club in that position. We were coping in the first few months. Why not now?

    So, if I understand correctly, you are agreeing that our passing game has gone to pot and the reason is because our shape and running off the ball is poor? So if that is the case, why doesn't Robins do something about it? Is this a side-effect of Robins deliberately playing a "don't lose"...

    I don't know enough about fitness to have an opinion on the cause, but my observation is that the biggest issue this year is our passing. Last year our inter-team play was wonderful to watch. We were passing the ball around our opponents and when we got the ball we kept it. This year we are...

    They are super-chitted. They'll be fine - just follow the instructions in the previous post.

    Eccles was the only player that came out of that with any honour. Hamer's been poor for months now.

    QPR's left back will know he's been in a game this evening. He'll be all bumps and bruises from Da Costa's crosses hitting him every time.

    Haven't given up on this yet. As, I think, Brian Clough said: it only takes 400 minutes to score a goal!
