Nice one RS, and thanks for stepping in. It wouldn’t be the Durham match preview thread without mention of Chuck Norris, who we signed for an undisclosed fee from Swindon. Never a prolific goal scorer, but definitely a steady one throughout his EFL career, and to a degree I think a bit underrated. Signed for Wealdstone in the summer, and scored on his debut in August.
Iandolo heads the equaliser, but the referee failed to get to grips with Rovers' defensive skull-duggery and wrongly chalks it off for a U's foul in the box.
Sorry about your subscription issues ghughes, but thanks for doing the preview. As you may gather, I couldn't make this one unfortunately. The boy and I were planning to, but work is stupidly busy right now, and given I didn't finish until after 6.30, it wasn't really possible. As I can't make Swindon either, my first trip of the season has to wait until Shrewsbury.
15 minutes in, and nothing really to trouble us so far, though Gas do seem to have the lions share of possession.
I love Bristol, always have, and as you say, spoilt for choice for things to see and do. If you have time and like BBQ food, Spitfire Barbecue on Hannover Quay is definitely worth a visit.
Took it really well too. Rochdale are a better side than their position suggests, and I don't think we were firing on all cylinders, but another 3pts and a clean sheet. Brizzle Rovers will be a tough trip though.
According to the Dale forum, today’s referee is Declan Bourne. As far as I can tell the last time he officiated a U’s game was the calamitous Barrow match back in November 2023. McGeehan gave the U’s the lead, only for Will Greenidge to equalise for Barrow with an own goal. The wheels really came off in the final minutes though. After a second yellow for Fevrier on 84 minutes, George Ray gave the visitors the lead, and as we pressed for an equaliser bagged a second in injury time to make it safe. Our misery was compounded by a second own goal by Zach Mitchell right at the death. In addition to six yellow cards (seven if you count Jayden’s second) Bourne also red-carded Barrow manager Pete Wild on the stroke of halftime.
What amazes me about the Rochdale FA Cup game was that after playing on Saturday afternoon at their place, the replay was Monday evening! Footballers (and supporters) back then were made of sterner stuff...
Funny old game isn’t it. We’ve had recent seasons where we’d have no points at all so far. Great preview mfb, reckon you’ve nailed the played for both category. I’m not expecting an easy game tomorrow, particularly if Dale start finding their rhythm in League 2.
Put me down for Swindon and Cheltenham please. I would normally be at the Swindon game, but that's the day I move Alfie back into digs at Bristol for his next year at UWE. Check-in time for the new flat... ...not before 3pm
My first U's trip will probably be Brizzle Rovers as things stand.
Work is pretty busy at the moment, so I can't guarantee posting on Fridays, it might be Saturday mornings. GHughes, you used to do the Tuesday games, can you still manage those?
I'm with you on this one Noah - the rule is that a player can stay off the pitch to avoid being involved in the active play at that time. As soon as the goalie put the ball back on the ground, it's game back on. Incidentally, a good friend was at that match, supporting Northampton, even he thought it was comical but fair dos.
