Question for you. I've read alot of articles about Westley telling your players to feign injuries to allow kind of 'time out' situations where he can give players instructions, as a Stevenage fan do you view it that way? Answering this latter then should have but To be fair, when we started in League 2, I will admit we did do that and our fans hated it, but when our players adapted (mid season) It stopped and I cannot remember us doing it for a while now, Definitely haven't seen it this season. We do get alot of hate form other teams still for the physical game we play but to be fair, We don't do anything against the rules, however it can be ugly to watch, But other times we can play the best football in the league. I've heard rumors that Stevenage could lose probably our best players Lawrie Wilson and John Mousinho. Apparently 2 or 3 Championship teams are interested. If they leave it will be a major blow to our team as Mous' is our play maker and Wilson is so crucial to the attack. I hated playing Stevenage because of the whole 'feigning injuries' tactic. Very frustrating for the opposition, and to be fair to you, it's probably helped you pick up the points you needed to climb the football ladder and sit where you are in the league at this time. As for Mous, it's pleasing to see he's one of your better players. I was gutted when we lost him to you, I don't think we fought hard enough to keep him. He was always a fan favourite, I'll never forget his goal against Brentford and I'm sure many Boro fans will never forget his 25 yard screamer against Wycombe.

YES! GET IN! Hull City 2-1 Birmingham! Great win for the tigers. Sitting 6th in the table and we can definitely hold on to that spot with the squad we have. Just need to hold on to our top players.

We've got a toughie... 23rd Wycombe vs. 24th Chesterfield. We play brilliantly against the top teams but struggle against the bottom. To top it off, they've got Lee and Lester back in contention today which will boost them massively.
On another note, how awful is the Southampton keeper. His confidence must be rock bottom.

Still cannot believe Howe went out and bought a "4th choice" GK in the summer, especially when 1st, 2nd and 3rd choices are crap enough. Jensen is nothing like what he was, and Grant is terrible 90% of the time. Today included, everything about him was garbage. We need a GK.
Wycombe's goal today was absolutely brilliant - for all the wrong reasons. Funny stuff, but ended in a sweet finish.

Hull City with another win today. 1-0 against Coventry is maybe not good enough but a win is a win. We are now 5th. The team in 7th are 4 points behind us so we are safe there for now.
Another good win for Crawley! 3-0 and now we are top of league 2. I think we will have back to back promotions to the championships. Then maybe even the Premier League!
Burnley should get someone like Alex Smithies in or someone.

I hope the bit in bold comes true though, doubt The Broadfield Stadium will be allowed in the Premier League though

I don't know.. I recognized the name a few years ago and was like... I like them. So after that I kept up to date with them.. then they played United and now they are in League 2 I keep a bigger eye out on them. They are like my... 3rd team if possible What makes you think that?

Tranmere was incredibly tough and very controversial game but glad to get the win no matter what but a huge blow came in that game, Our top goalscorer, Chris Beardsley, Will be out for a while and apart from our captain (who is a CB) he is our only reliable goalscorer. We are now 11 games undefeated and we have 3 Kinda Local games in a row now then the huge game against Reading. Hope we can carry on our form.

That wasn't a good defeat for us today, shame as we played so well for most of the game.

Was at Brighton vs Burnley yesterday, witnessed the single biggest bit of inept refereeing i've ever seen. Was hilarious though.
Burnley were awful 2nd half, i'd hate to of seen them if they played against 11 men for the 90 minutes.

Hull City are doing brilliant! C'mon the tigers. Massive game on boxing day against M'boro. 3 points there will put us above them then into 3rd. Get in. Cameron Stewart week in week out is getting mentioned on Soccer Saturday as the major threat down the left.

Watford away boxing day. We had them away last boxing day too, I went and they absolutely destroyed us, one of my worst away days, I won't travel up to that crap town again. Luckily we've nicked their manager and some of their players since then so we should do them in.
They hate us though after this Summer so I'm sure they will create a decent atmosphere.

We sold Jordon Ibe to Liverpool last week, undisclosed fee reported to be £750k with add-ons. 16 year old with such a bright future, look out for him in the next couple of years, he will be a star.

Apparantly not. He sent this email to WWFC media:
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Gary Waddock, Richard Dobson and the staff at Wycombe Wanderers for all their effort and hard work put in to me since joining at the age of 12.
In particular, I would like to thank the gaffer for giving me my debut at such an early age, Dave George for his advice on the Holland tour earlier this season and the players for helping me in training and on the pitch. A special mention must go to my mentor and Head of Recruitment Michael Carnegie, who has been influential in my development at the club.
I realise I have a very long way to go, and have a lot to achieve, but I am grateful that WWFC have given me a platform to further my career and live every child's dream.
The fans have given me great pleasure, and made me feel very special and one of their own. The decision to leave was difficult but one that me and my family couldn't refuse.
Once again, thank you all for making WWFC a special place for me.
Jordon
Makes it seem like he's saying goodbye once and for all. So glad that we didn't stand in his way, Waddock has done the right thing.

For a team that don't score much, a 6-1 away win with 6 different scorers ain't that bad. I haven't seen us play as well as we did since the Wednesday game earlier this season. Great Christmas gift from the boys. Also we are now in the Play of spots, Triple promotion?

Great win for Boro against our arch rivals Col-scum, hopefully we'll bring you down to earth with a bump though - watch out cos Trotta is on fire! 6 goals in 4 games, brilliant form. Two of the lads at work are Fulham fans and they can't for the life of them work out why Jol has allowed him to go out on loan to begin with. They believe, as do many of their fans, that he should be in their first team squad!
We're out of the relegation zone for the first time in ages, and boy does it feel good. We'll be mid-table in a matter of weeks if we keep up this form.
