Impossible to predict. After Peterborough, I convinced myself we'd turned a corner. After the last two games, it look like the corner we took has lead into a cul-de-sac. Exeter are in a decent run of form - better than us whether you look at the last 4, 6, 8, 10 or 12 games...

Absolutely this.

So 6.5th then? ;)

OK - so how? How do you make it a very unattractive place to migrants? Would you do that for all of them or just those judged to be 'economic' migrants? What about those who are genuinely fleeing in fear of their lives?

Errm, I did mention economic factors as well in my original post! You may not think that economic migrants should try to get here, but they seem to feel differently! Since your way of stopping these people was to solve the problem by stopping the causes of migration, then it follows that you...

I would hope we have, but suspect we will be trying to justify the club signing Edwards in a couple of weeks!

There is no practical, short term way of making conditions in countries completely stable - war, flood, famine, sea level rise and other climate change will potentially cause migration as well as poor financial outlook for a population. Stop all those and you'd stop migration. But... There are...

It is (of course) a very difficult problem - and one that is shared by many countries worldwide. There *isn't* really a simple answer to it - but getting to the people smugglers behind it might be a start, although that would mean co-operating with other governments, and this little Englander...

If it was the Prem setting the rules though, that would be Rock Rock Scissors and only they would be allowed to have the rocks.

All to accommodate "changes to the calendar driven by the expanded Uefa competitions". Given that only the top few of the Prem will be playing in such competitions, could they really not find a few spare days for the occasions when those teams happen to draw in the cup? I really hate the way the...

I think the answer to the last question is a definite 'no'. In fact when he *is* playing I'd rather someone else took some of the dead ball kicks (with the exception of the penalties, which he is good at). His corners are often straight to the keeper and are too 'floaty' and his free kicks are...

I thought he repeatedly kicked to ball into areas where it went straight to Lincoln, and I don't think he did so well going forwards either. Now it may be that there wasn't anyone free for him to pass to (our movement off the ball was poor) and that he was staying back under orders - but I...

Terrible ref. He somehow managed the trick of throwing cards about and simultaneously having absolutely no control of the game. Lincoln's time wasting was mostly ignored - to the extent that he allowed Lincoln players to come up to him repeatedly and have a nice little chat, with their number 9...

A disappointing night, obviously. We were Ok in the first half and could have had a couple (although the one that Harris had from the Dale cross was a pretty difficult chance with the speed that ball was going across him) but Lincoln had a couple of headers and a break down their left that they...

Yes, I read that 'Ivy Pass' announcement and had very little idea what they were on about. Maybe I am thick. You can scan a QR code (yep, got it so far) that is on a player's sleeve (that's not going to be easy to scan, as I hope they'd be running about!) to create a brand passport (no, me...

Not entirely sure I agree with that. I thought they did quite well in the very first few minutes of the first half and made a chance or two in the first half and that's more than they did in the second really. And we did score another couple after the break. I don't really think their changes...

'I want to make it clear no money ever went missing.' So how much is in the kitty from the previous donations which weren't used?

Anyone who has seen Murphy play recently would be amazed if clubs higher up the food chain weren't interested - and of course they can offer more money than we can. But (and it may be wishful thinking!) he has been there and done that - he signed for Cardiff for £11m and by all accounts didn't...

IMO the greatest difference on Saturday was the quality, cohesiveness, persistance and speed of our players pressing their defenders when they had the ball. We didn't have Harris doing it on his own and we didn't start doing it then stop. At times in the second half their defence literally did...

But there are *always* sliding doors moments like that in games. You should score a penalty, but if we'd missed it the restart would not have been a kickoff so the situation that lead to their miss would never have happened. The Butterfly Effect and all that!
