The Trainpal app is good and tends to be a bit cheaper than Trainline.

On behalf on of groundkeepers, knee slides should be banned! Stick to an arm in the air, with a little skip if you are really pleased, like they used to.

Probably more that goon player smashing him on the touchline and getting a straight red?

I agree and I believe every single game between now and the end of the season should be treated as a difficult challenge because the pressure of going for promotion can have a suffocating affect on players.

I don't think it is unfair to say that Butcher saved our season. We were in a total funk and his play allowed others to perform. Hence why so many have a soft spot for him. And he seems like a really decent chap.

Good interview by Phil on this weeks "Pre-Match Drills" with MD - he touched on the hard but honest conversations he is going to have to undertake with players regarding who is in the matchday squad & who isnt.

Fingers crossed re Kone, we weren't as sharp or as clinical in front of goal last Saturday without him.

Crawley have just beaten Stevenage 3-1, whilst only losing to Bolton and Wrexham through very last minute winners. Burton are currently 6 games unbeaten. These won't be easy - I expect Crawley to give us a really tough game tomorrow.

It may be reading too much into a stock media comment, but out of all of the recent senior loans that were made, Butcher was the only one where Dan Rice explicitly said that the club looked forward to him coming back in the summer - the likes of Hanlan and Hartridge got a more non-commital, “we’ll be monitoring their progress”.
