We shouldn't forget that his last appearance for us was his 600th league* appearance - in a game that saw us beat Sunderland where the team played for Craig, ignoring I'm sure Garner's instructions and tactics
*Late edit - 600th career appearance, not just league......

Did us Proud.BG made a mistake releasing him and Alfie obviously missed his mentorship. Fantastic player - 700 appearances is pretty impressive. Alfie to Crawley in January on loan would be a good move for all involved.

I do find it odd how people live and view their life through their phones. At concerts or any event so many people watching it through their phone rather than enjoying it fully in the moment.....but maybe I'm just a grumpy old git

Gas Harry coming through with the view from the terraces 05:43 for the goal 07:34 for the red card decision Glad to see that angle as Scotty looked a little offside from the official video; definitely not tho Excellent angle to show it wasn't offside, I've even stepped through pausing to check as it was still a little tight with Scotty running through ahead of the full back and the CH stepping out. Good job the linesman was right up with play. Some of those we normally get are so far behind they would have flagged it

Good read o2.👍 I agree with most but reading their forum someone else brought up the playing Saturday- Tuesday-Saturday thing and others say it is an excuse. I don’t know but I always get the impression that we seem to be one of the fittest sides I’ve seen and certainly last season that playing routine worked for us and allowed us to get back into contention in the late Winter and Spring. I think it suits us playing more, as long as it’s not a relentless schedule of every week. But it allows us to get momentum. Salford who they played midweek had a complete ‘mare yesterday so perhaps there is something in it.
UTG! They (Posh) played at Salford on Wednesday night in a televised FA Cup game so the scenario is not dissimilar to our televised Weds night heroics at Sheff Weds followed by a very jaded performance on the Saturday at Derby. Both Posh and us had two away games with very little rest between - although ours was tougher. It has to have had an effect imho

Thomas booked, out next game? Yep - Edit - if he was booked? BBC text shows Thompson of Posh booked not Thomas? Second Edit - the BBC have changed it to Thomas booked . He will miss the next game, I'm not sure if that has to be the next league game Get in Sinclair

Today's game, the 19th in the league, is the cut off for suspensions due to 5 cautions. I'm pretty certain that Thomas and Finley are both on 4 and there might be one or two others. Important that they don't pick up a yellow today as Finley has been key especially whilst Coutts is injured, and Thomas is vital at the back.

Excellent, and shows that the club listened. Many 'consultations' are purely a thinly veiled political exercise to pretend to have engaged people. My responses have always been that we didn't want something that looks as generic as everyone else, and most recently that the proposals were no more than a piece of clip art in a generic shaped shield. I wanted to see a Pirate retained, toughened up a little with a clear identifiable link to Bristol and of course 1883, Gas too.

Looks good on paper, but this is gonna be tricky!! Definitely won’t be easy, they have got some decent players & like someone posted earlier they knocked out Bournemouth away last season. I’m sure if we would have been the away side,the tie would have been a shoe-in for tv coverage as they seem to favour non- league sides to be at home to higher league teams. But if we approach it correctly & field a strong side, we should be able to make it to the 3rd round. They have a far better away record than at home, so it definitely will not be easy. Home: W2, D3, L2. Away: W5 D3 L1. We could be on TV if the BBC/ITV do any research at all instead of just fawning over Wrexham

I've been a Helpline member for some time now - as someone iiving ~130 miles from the Mem it meant I could still feel I was supporting the club and it helped with ticket access when I did require it. Sad times.

Alfie would have been a better choice alongside Thomas for the first hour yesterday imho - assuming Connolly couldn't be risked for the full 90. He wouldn't have been bullied and probably wouldn't have played nonsense passes along the back line. He would have made the odd mistake and he would, probably, often just hoof it upfield to concede possession - but that was what was needed yesterday.

Couldnae risk him I would think, looks like th whole squad need a rest/recovery week imo. Well deserved as well 👍🏼 Agree with you Jock… Hugely proud of our boys this week- think they have put in a real shift. With the FA Cup next Saturday then a few key players could get two weeks off now to recuperate and get over knocks. It's been a bruising 8 days and a bit unfair schedulingwise too with the Sheffield Weds away game on Weds night, before another tough trip today

Not blaming Thomas for that, what on earth was Hoole doing passing across the area like that. It must be what they are told to do. My only live away game was at Portsmouth and we were doing it all the time there - really dangerous

A bridge too far it seems. Damage limitation now and get players back for a couple of weeks time

We've had a tough run of games and having to travel to Sheffield and then Derby in 2 and a half days is hard, without the injuries sustained on Wednesday nght. There is plenty of time to go and get back into this though. Come on Gas
