starved.
64 – Carlisle H 14/15 – Ted Smith is
saved by some incompetent refereeing and/ or the #cleansheetmentality. Michael Timlin scores a worldie on the volley but rather ruins with a kneeslide that would not disgrace this Roots Hall pitch.
63 – Tranmere A 14/15 – The bit of marking for Payne’s goal was so bad it’s a surprise it wasn’t by us at a corner. And Max Power scored a penalty. That’s always good to bump it up the list.
62 – Mans eld H 14/15 – Laughably easy goals won the game early, in a simpler time when people thought it wouldn’t mean anything because we would lose in the semis of the play-o s again.
61 – Wimbledon A 13/14 – Woodrow shows he can play instead of Corr after he was struggling. It lasts about a week and Woodrow goes back to Fulham swiftly. At least it meant we got Barnard back!
60 – Barnsley H 15/16 – Back when Barnsley played like the Oakland A’s of today rather than the Oakland A’s at the turn of the century. The last nice Prosser moment. There’s not a lot more to be said really.
59 – Mans eld A 14/15 – A good away win with a goal from an intelligent corner and everything is given additional lol factor by the returning Jakub Sokolik giving us an error straight from those blooper tapes they de nitely still make.
58 – Scunthorpe H 15/16 – Gary McShe rey scored a great goal for Scunthorpe and I’m a little sorry they got nothing for it. On the other hand, we get nowt at Glanford Park so up theirs.
57 – Stevenage H 14/15 – Get the job done in 20 minutes. Coker shows he’s got a right peg, amazingly. Weston shows he’s not a striker.
56 – Portsmouth A 14/15 – We left the red card late this time because we’re such mavericks. How a season that was so similar to the one previous led to us being so boring at home is beyond me.
55 – Oxford A 13/14– Ah shove o Oxford. Cli ord scores, as if to prove they weren’t as good as they thought.
54 – Cheltenham A 13/14 – Win from behind away from home. Who can remember a good Hurst moment after this? #character #desire
53 – Coventry H 16/17 – It would have been cruel not to let them have a goal. Mind you, it was pretty cruel for Ferdinand to score his rst goal in eight years. Sorry guys. At least there’s the EFL Trophy huh?
52 – Peterborough H 15/16 – We were on telly so we won. The game that convinced me we might actually score a goal or two at this level after an impotent start. The Beeb say we had 20 shots, which seems like about 40 too few. The optimism was quickly dented after Peterborough saw t to bin the manager straight afterwards.
51 – Burton H 15/16 – We’re on telly again so we play properly again. We don’t avenge the play-o s and we can’t stop them going up, but at least we got the points before immediately ballsing it up at Port Vale the following Friday.
50 – Oxford H 16/17 – Leonard scores an absolute screamer on his 200th game and we win with a contentious penalty. I love this sport. Shove o Oxford.
49 – Walsall H 16/17 – The heroic second half comeback and the great photo Cox’s winner produced barely disguises the fact we conceded two to Franck Moussa after he did knack all the year before. We go to 4-2-3-1, because Phil is frequently tempted to be too clever by half.
48 – Coventry A 16/17 – The game’s over after 25 minutes. The asco at Bristol Rovers just beforehand isn’t forgotten, but its pain was at least a little dulled.
47 – Dagenham A 14/15 – Ryan Leonard gets in on the screamer act after Timlin the previous week, and having found a way to go 4 without a win against the other cockney rejects it put a nice hoodoo to bed. Pity we haven’t played them since.
46 – Oxford A 16/17 – Ah shove o Oxford. This robbery isn’t luck, it’s a #cleansheetmentality
45 – Fleetwood H 13/14 – Corr bosses snakey Cresswell on a Friday night. Pretty good fare considering it’s Fleetwood.
44 – Oldham A 16/17 – A consummate away display is undermined by the terror we might regularly play McGlashan upfront. Thankfully we don’t. The #cleansheetmentality is undermined by the fact Oldham never scored against anyone.
43 – Wimbledon H 16/17 – We score from a Leonard long throw! Maybe this is our
