I blame the pitch. It was clearly at fault, repeatedly causing us to cough up cheap possession, interferring with Hally's kicks and totally ruining our discipline. It was also the pitches fault for playing folk out of position and dropping Eden when we already had a long absentee list. Shortd pitches should be banned.

Someone should have a word with the coach, he missed a trick there and could have added to his excuse repertoire.

No need. Zod and GML are all over it on the other forum. 12-3 penalty count, 9 first teamers out. Oh the rank hypocrisy of their derision of FC's "excuses culture" in 2008/9.

I'm ace me, can't be me.

Connection to be tested when Rovers face Wakey perhaps. Rovers the one point advantage in 9th, Wakefield in 10th, a game in hand though. Test of the 5th place credentials aired pre season.



True enough. Some admit it readily, others less so.

Sandercock blaming geese now? As stale as his portfolio has become, he needs to man up.

Wakefield will beat us in a fortnight's time, not even up for discussion.

zod is writing his excuses for next week. Once finished he'll start on the wakey ones. Is it a night match? Maybe your new floodlights will be too bright or the new polythene towers on the north stand may distract eden when he's fielding bombs

They don't do excuses, that's us, silly:
