U's to spook The Robins?

Hahaha - I live a stones throw away from their training ground, so that probably explains all the paranormal activity keeping me awake at night. Seriously though, Holloway at his most bonkers best.

Did I read somewhere that the club Xmas party was after the Fleetwood game? Might explain the radio silence I suppose?

A guy on twitter says it’s bobbins - went for a trial but no offer made. Still, if he’s good enough to even be offered a trial that’s got to count for something I suppose?

Scott McGleish and Joe Keith were the two who immediately sprung to mind. Also, my favourite U's shirt of all time.

I totally agree, despite my immediate lament, we shouldn't get on young Oscar's back over this. I've seen better chances than that missed. We are though proving ourselves difficult to beat, which is definitely a move in the right direction. Bring on scummy Swindon on Tuesday.

Up the U's!

Very solid performance for the most part, but how did Oscar miss that last chance!?

Excellent save from Macey following a dominant start from the U's. I'm not drawing any conclusions from this observation, but there's not much 'diversity' in the Fleetwood starting XI.

Other than going for Anderson instead of Thorn, you were almost spot-on Durham - other than the complete absence of Lyle Taylor - must have picked up a knock. Seems to have been replaced with Read, which suggests a 4-5-1?

…and the stupid thing is, we’re told the ban on televising 3pm kick-offs is to protect ticket sales and increase attendances. Bullshit, I guarantee it would be a bigger crowd at Fleetwood with a televised 3pm kick-off.

Great review as always Durham, thanks! Personally, I think I'd lean towards Anderson to start and Thorn on the bench, but otherwise I like the look of that lineup. On paper Fleetwood are only 4pts ahead of the U's, but as Danny mentioned in his pre-match interview, they're in a somewhat false position having played considerably fewer than everyone else. In reality, they are probably another firm play-off contender, so it'll be interesting to see whether we can kick on from Grimbsy against another promotion contender, with another awayday next Saturday at much-fancied Notts County (I'll be there).

…and I’ve just learned they were B52s. If I’d know that at the time I think I’d have been even more worried. Out of Fairford apparently, god knows where they were going though?

I didn't see them, but Alfie's mum and her friends did on an Isle of Wight jolly, and sent me photos to find out what they were. They thought they were witnessing the start of Armageddon and didn't want to die on the Isle of Wight

I did see something troubling this afternoon though, two very large grey 4-engined passenger jet-sized planes flying in formation far lower than commercial flights should fly over my house, heading west(ish) towards Bath/ Bristol. No obvious livery, so they must have been military?

In the absence of any far distance I figured all was cool and went back to work...

With apologies to the mental health of Durham, Joe Taylor is a pipe dream I'm afraid. According to various Terrier forum speculation, the only way they'll get the much-underused naturally gifted striker in January is if Luton Town will part with him for somewhere north of £2m, but the Huddersfield fanbase definitely want him. Luton are 3pts outside the relegation zone, and averaging barely just over a goal a game, so quite why they aren't using him other than cameo appearances off the bench is frankly baffling. He'll go in January somewhere, but it won't be here I'm afraid.

A couple more to add to the list - Lindisfarne and Stiff Little Fingers both did Essex Uni, and I’m pretty sure Renaissance played at both the Tech and Uni.

Edit: and not forgetting Spirit supported by The Police at Essex Uni.

Morecambe beat basket-case Swindon 3-2 at the County Ground. Although on face value we might have preferred a draw, I'm actually okay with that result, keeps them both at least 2 games below us. We'd have been in the S H 1 T if we'd lost though.

So much better, gives a fantastic lift to the rest of a grey wet windy weekend. Well done the travelling support, you all deserved that!

Tbh, after a difficult first half against the wind, I thought we were good value for the win based on our second half performance. Considering Grimsby are in the play-offs, they were poor. Shows how even much of this division is. Got to do it all again with another early start and long trip to Fleetwood next Saturday, but this will give the squad a tremendous confidence boost.

Up the U's!
