Can We Do It On A Cold Saturday In Stoke?

“The journey is a tough one that we’re on… people have got to learn and learn quickly or else they will be out of work in the summer” – anyone would think Our Graham is a little miffed at the moment. Out of one competition, but still in another; we’re …

Keep Calm And Carry On

“Panic on the streets of Bedwell, panic on the streets of Broadwater… I wonder to myself” – Now then chums, is it really time to start reaching for the A-Z Guide of League Two? No. That’s the short answer and the only answer you’re getting at the moment. Sure, we …

The One Where You Shrews, You Lose

You Shrews, you lose… geddit? Ah please yourself then. We never said we were good at the punning game, same as we aren’t much cop at predicting how Boro’ are going to fare. We’d been sure EEMPT (DWAH)’s Gillingham side were there for the taking on Tuesday, but we somehow …

Gillingham. The club where the careers of ex-Stevenage managers see out their days? Maybe – but all we're bothered about here are points...

The One That Did Well At Hull

The One Where Steve Evans Is A Pussycat

It seems to be the week for “interesting” analogies – first, we had Russell Slade moan about our deep sea defending on Tuesday night, and now Graham Westley has told the press that Steve Evans – this weekend’s opposing manager – is “a pussycat really“. The most alarming thing for …

Dancing With Wolves

If you needed to be reminded of the gap that exists between the Haves and the Have Nots in League One, this weekend’s game will help you out. On the pitch, there is just a fine line between sticking the ball in the goal and, well, not doing that. But …

Keep The Wolves At Bay…

Wolverhampton. Well, you can’t complain that the League One Holiday Brochure (2013-14 Season) isn’t treating us this year. Walsall, Crewe, Tranmere – all very prestigious locations in their own right, but none of ’em hold a candle to the cradle of the Black Country. On this latest Grand Day Out, …

Trick Or Treat?

If there is such a thing as a god of marketing (and we very much doubt there is), then it has shown grace and favour towards us by ensuring the fixture computer splurged out Crawley Town at home the weekend before Halloween. You know what that means by now – …

It’s All About Crewe

A midweek league fixture? Well, this is a welcome treat in a season where our League One business has been exclusively done on Saturdays so far. That weekend business isn’t quite paying out in points just yet, so we may as well start moonlighting on Tuesday nights – we haven’t …
