He seems to like players who're WUMs
Their no.25 was giving it large to the Pearl St after he'd conned the ref into thinking he'd been fouled whilst struggling to defend in the penalty area
Wasn't it Bobby Grant who had a similar habit? |

You could well be right, just an assumption on my part |

Not direct changes to the midfield two at that point, but the introduction of Barlow and Burger opened up the options our midfield had around them, including allowing Gilmour to get into the six-yard box on 65 minutes [Post edited 15 Nov 19:18]

Walking around the back of the Pearl St stand, there's a been a section of the carpark dug up and refilled, diagonally from the left. It looks like some work has been done to improve the drain |

Yep, spot on
Exactly as required and we suddenly had pace and guile. Plus, the determination to see the game out when the owners had pulled out all the stops to get us onto the pitch
And what a massive three points, with Boreham Wood and Carlisle faltering |

Not good
Shots looking sharper, more determined
East having little impact
Changes required early doors unless they can buck up |

Doubtful, at the rate they've been losing members recently |

Should this prove to work under these conditions, and become a viable solution throughout the rest of the season, we really can't thank the owners enough for funding all this
Bringing in the Macleod staff to manage the covering/removal process will itself be costly but probably a requirement and i'm going to suggest to the Trust that they formally recognise this with a statement on behalf of the fanbase
Perhaps that's something the Trust might actually listen to |

Especially rough early evening
Hope someone is being deployed to keep watch |

I'd be more inclined to see it as an opportunity, just as Tuesday night was, but one we didn't take although as others have posted, we might've taken the lead
I'd also be looking for those other teams each to be thinking it's going to be a tough ask taking us on
One thing we will need to finish top of the pile. and that's a relentless mindset, laser-focused on that objective alone. That's all that matters ever since we lost our football league status (off-field events apart) and that's still all that matters now
This is the main reason i've had little faith in JM, although this season the addition of a bit of backbone alongside him is helping [Post edited 13 Nov 12:18]

Have you taken naturally-occurring heavy water into account? i.e. where the hydrogen atoms are deuterium rather than protium? |

If, as the update suggests, the covers are removed as late as possible on Saturday morning, it'll be interesting to see what temporary storage option is used, especially given the more extensive nature of the equipment deployed
If the covers are on hire, it's unlikely the hire company would be happy to see them just pushed to the sides of the pitch, but presumably a suitable solution has been found |

Long term, there's no reason the pitch can't be restored to it's former health, which saw it survive many decades of league football until it started being messed with
Of course, playing conditions differed until fairly recently, you only have to look at footage of games at the top end of the league in the 70s/80s to see that (or witness it in person). It's quite probable that the higher standards that are now deemed necessary have led to the "messing about" in the first place (e.g. the Spurs cup tie "solution", which i suspect caused untold damage) and whilst clubs higher up the pyramid can afford the expensive solutions, we couldn't [Post edited 5 Nov 14:12]
