So all we have to show for two games is a point and a Red card.....we are only one of 7 teams in the entire 72 yet to score.....no real surprise tbh but why do I get the feeling it s the same old, same old. Sorry to be so negative but I'm concerned already and we are only 180+ minutes into the season

I have no issue with the ref's actions or what he is supposed to have said when dismissing Flanagan. He and Marosi cost us the game. Yet another mass brawl to follow the half dozen we were treated to last season.

Yet another mass brawl to follow the half dozen we were treated to last season. Correct. All the red card did is give people a false excuse as to why we didn't win the game despite not looking like we could score in a month of Sundays.

Definite wind up. Just don't fall for it. i'm just listening to the podcast , i thought it was funny when they likened us to the crazy gang 🤫 i've reported them to the opinion police 😜 It depends on why they were comparing us to the Crazy Gang, if it were because of the direct style of football and being reliant on set pieces then I'm sure many people would agree with them & you. However if they were also saying something like that ' act like a bunch of thugs and get away with it'. then I'd personally say it's nonsense (of course you are entitled to your opinion before I get reported to the opinion police!)

if we look at the next three league games and the midfield dont get there act together and we struggle to score we could be five games in with either 1 or 2 points

I haven't. I've blamed him for trying to be a smartarse. He could have just sent Flanagan off. No need for snidely remarks. Perhaps if someone had got I your face wagging their finger abusing you you’d have found pleasure in sending him off ? Well if I had, I'd like to think I'd have kept my thoughts to myself and acted in a professional manner.

As I said elsewhere on the the thread, the challenge is finding a formation which suits them all. Oh and actually finding some competition/cover for them

If we lose our next 44 games we'll have one point and will be relegated!

Probably be up and running about mid October again, promotion out of reach by the time we start to play as a team.

Has a price of a pint always been that expensive? £4.90 for a San Miguel in the fanzone. Was £4 last season that’s quite an increase.

Not sure I've seen this confirmed anywhere but was the Accrington keeper the son of our GK coach?

Hopefully things will improve when Smithy’s reopens Wasn’t at the fanzone Saturday but Carlsberg was £3.80 & San Miguel £4.00 last season… poor choice as you say. Arrived early at the Wigan game last of the season and they already sold out of San Miguel and had to settle for weak Carlsberg. Wouldn’t have bothered otherwise if I hadn’t have turned up early. Not like the club knew there was going to be a big crowd or anything that day…

Tonight was the same as the Cardiff pre season game with just the lagers. Fanzone will be packed with Derby fans next week, I assume, so hopefully more choice available.

Think people are being pretty dramatic on here. Town played well in both matches, unlucky not to win the 1st game away (always difficult first game of season) having played very well and playing well up to the sending off v Accy.
Cotts cant foresee stupidity like that red card incident.
I'm happy that in both games town have played decent and thats without Udoh our leading marksman too. Only 2 matches played, drawn 1 and lost one.

I remember when vela got a silly red at Peterborough, I suggested the player let us down but I was corrected and told it was down to the manager , his squad, his responsibility

I tried a pint of their own lager which was very nice so had to have another. While barman was pulling it I noticed the price list. The Brains, which I thought would be the most expensive was 'only' 4.20. The San Miguel was £1 dearer at 5.20 and the Peroni an amazing 5.90 😳 How can these prices be justified, this is a small coastal town in Wales not the centre of London.

I'm just guessing but perhaps pubs/restaurants are in the same boat as the rest of the general population and facing mounting bills so hiking prices to stay in business. I've got no doubt that there is some profiteering going on in some parts but if you think about how much a household is seeing their gas/electricity bills rise by, imagine that for a business.

Inflation is now what? 11%. Price rises of 20%+ is very poor pure greed, I really enjoyed the pint and could have killed for another but not a chance and I will deliberately give it a swerve for the rest of the season too, at £4.20 I would be good for a pint most games I don't mind doing expensive, but I don't do rip off

Carlsberg (and Heinekin) have to be probably the two worst lagers in the world. Even non alcoholic beers taste better than those.

I only got onto lager about 15-20 years ago when a neighbour kept offering me lager in return for 'stuff he liked' lol he often offered me carling and I gave it a miss but then he offered me something different and I tried it and liked it, not my first choice though I don't mind stella, San Miguel, madri to name a few, not sure if holsten pils counts but its my fav lager if it does, mostly when its really hot weather

I only got into lagers many years ago when the weather was hot,then back to real beers when the autumn came along. One year I never went back and stuck with lagers.
I got into ciders a few years ago in pretty much the same way.

I’ve paid £5.20 for a Peroni in an average Salop pub today, couldn’t believe it! Unfortunately sounds like I should get used to it! Either that or get 36 bottles for £21 and invite mates round… and pubs wonder why they are going bust
