Wycombe Wanderers at home

Not surprised to see Balker dropped. Thought he was the replacement we had up our sleeve for Helik, but it's not turning out that way. Makes far too many mistakes and plays too many piss-poor balls forward. When you're losing your centre-back place to a fullback, you need to get with the programme.

For some strange reason I've paid to listen to Radio Local tonight when I already have the game on Now TV. I'm going to have to stop eating these peanuts, they are getting in the way of my beers and affecting my decision making. TV on silent then. The Sky+ common tater normally talks b*ll*cks anyway.

It looks like about 5000 have turned up tonight unless 10,000 are having a beer or trying to buy a pie.

I've eventually tracked down the commentator. He's called Cameron Pope.

Which led me to think; is he related to Adam Pope.

I'd say so.

Good bit of detective work there, Chaffers.

Norra bad first half.

Radio Local on the Town HTTV feed are about 3 minutes behind Sky Sports+ who are at least 30 seconds behind anyone else watching live.

Deja vu.

Three 1-0 defeats at home to the top three. All second half goals in the same net.

Cameron pope is Adams son I believe.

I buckled and went for one last rodeo. Disappointed with the result and some performances, but actually glad I went

Correct JJ about Pope Jnr and a Town fan to boot as the the saying goes.

As for tonight, well…urm… better but still not good enough and given the time of year that makes it even worse.

Wycombe came with a game plan and executed it pretty much to perfection, it still took us something like 66mins to get a shot on target.

Crowd attendance tonight abysmal ( I don’t blame any of them) and it won’t get any better.waled in about15mins before kick off and could’ve gone straight to the bar as they had no queues. A quick straw poll conducted at the seats say 3 out 5 aren’t renewing and that was before the game.

I was told Cartwright wasn’t there tonight, on holiday apparently.Chris Markham was there as was Ross Wilson… read into that what you want, I’ve no idea.

Well Ross Wilson is high up at forest ain't he?

Looked on his linkedin and apparently he's sporting director and chief football officer as well as board member

Markham is a town fan and his dad used to be chair of the supporters club a long time ago, so he was probably there as a fan.

People go on about how he signed injured players at Bolton, but these are still his players that are chasing the play offs? If so his issue was sticking with evatt too long.

Our issue is sticking with the cart too long. The horse has already bolted.

I ll talk about the game Tomo when I've thought about it
