A Location Football interview with Jordan Ibe, worth watching. He comes accross well, he's enjoying his football and Hungerford enjoy having him there. I hope this fresh start works out for him.

Two reasons, I think. The wet winter has taken its toll on the teams who play homes games on grass. This has hit Penn, who have nine games left, particularly hard as their pitch has not coped with all their teams who use it, Men's First, Men's Youth and Women. The U23s play at home on 3G, so no postponements.

Also, the U23s have no cup games. They cannot play in the league cup, or FA Cup, although they can play in the B & B Trophy, which allows reserve and dev teams, but have chosen not to, not sure why.

It’s a bit of a pinch yourself season really for us isn’t it? I know we’ve got a wealthy owner but to be in this position with only a few games to go- seriously- what a time! I reckon we have the players to go up but, really, form over the next few weeks will determine if we really do. Big but not decisive game coming up :)

I think Dodds has been tactically spot on so far. Bearing in mind he is getting to know the squad, when we have started badly in games - changes he has made have improved us every time.

With regards the 3 at the back - I suggested this when Taylor re-signed and I got shot down by EVERYONE. I'm not after sympathy, thumbs ups or thumbs downs, but it makes so much sense right now.

Amazing that Leeds might blow it again after losing to Pompey today, despite having a goal difference of plus 49. Now only two points ahead of Burnley.

There's got to be a good chance that Deadpool shows his face (or not) for this one, given the magnitude of the game and the proximity to Heathrow.
