With regards to the program, it is a shame and damages an old traditions. But as long as they are still being created, thats the main thing, as we have the possibility of prescription or later hard copy sales, and reproduce them at a later time. So if its just a means of saving cash right now, then hopefully its not goodbye to the program.
As for the result today, its a shame our new addition is not match fit yet, as it could freshen something up. As it stands you have to hold on to the Wallsal performance and have hope our home form is better, but I will hold back on making a score prediction.

I echo the comments above about the programme. I've just downloaded it. But, because it's on my computer rather than in my hand tomorrow, the chances are that I won't read most of it. It's just not the sort of thing that I read on a screen, where it's competing with a constant flow of easily accessible, real-time information. Tranmere lost this evening, at home to Doncaster, and Forest Green will be expected to lose at unbeaten Mansfield tomorrow. That gives us an opportunity to draw level on points with both of those (and also Colchester, though they may be fancied to win at home against Harrogate). But we'd need to win. We're in a situation now where we can't afford to blow many more such chances. Forest Green won't be getting any points today. Mansfield is waist deep in floodwater!

Better than being flood-deep in waste water, I suppose. 🤢 That postponement might just be a little gift to us. It shouldn't be passed up.

I’m missing the Morecambe game today as I’m back in Yorkshire for a few days and will be seeing HTAFC v QPR this afternoon. Horrendous weather this morning on the M1 between Chesterfield and Sheffield, plenty flooding, but thankfully dry now.
Come on Sutton, get those three points, that’s all that matters.
Eldest grandson is a mascot for Chipstead v Ascot today as well.

Disappointed to read tomorrows programme is online-only, is this a trial with view to permanent transition? Yet another reduction in the match day experience. My local club manages to produce a program for £2 and cover the cost on gates of frequently less than 100. They also manage to sell a cup of coffee for £1. The fun and value for money were the reason I started to go to GGL in 1967 instead of Selhurst Park. That seems to have gone now.

Yes going forward we were a bit better but that defence is so poor and for the winning goal yet again no one closing down. We had to come from two down and that makes it hard to get a result, so another team played we could have beaten but again just not good enough and with wrexham coming up not looking good. We have to be harsh as supporters because of the position we are in and also with that defence we are in a bit of trouble, we just don’t look like we can get a clean sheet. (Very frustrating) ⚽️⚽️⚽️
Thought Harry smith had a good game though.

I'd give Gray until the Tranmere game to sort this mess out. Wrexham is a free pass and we're all expecting a battering. Bradford at home, a draw would be acceptable, but if we can't get a win out of games against two teams almost as bad as we are (Colchester A and Tranmere H), it's time to get someone in who can sort this defence out. What will his excuse be this week after a full week of training?

Haven’t heard Matt refer to his 50 point season target for a while.
50 from 46 is now 43 from 32 so very approx an average of just over a point per game to now one and a half.

Baboonfish. You beat me to it. Yes, what are the excuses this week? Will Tony feed Matt with the usual questions? For the usual replies. Gape sounds a good player.But why sign a player we require straight away.who is not game fit.ok he was a free agent. Posters have given their opinions, one way or another regarding the situation with in the club.But for me ,it now has come to a point where its got to be sorted,one way or another.

I know we are playing at a higher level than any time in our history but have we ever had a worse start to a season or a worse run including the end of last season?

I expect free agents are the main (only?) option given we're outside the transfer window. Most free agents won't be fully match fit so, although far from ideal, I guess the simple answer is that there's nobody else identified and available immediately.
