@Benthebookie Enjoy mate!

48 hours and I'll be at the greatest show on turf #CHELTENHAM ..... remember Big Bets Taken and definite stick off me if you manage to land one!! #YouLuckyPeople

@Official_STFC Why are we making so many changes? Have no style of play, unable to understand ourselves. Stop playing to the opposition and let’s play our own game, like we did last year!

"Overall, disappointed, we want to be winning our home games. But at the same time, delighted in the way we came back and delighted in the way we finished the game." 💬 Marcus Bignot on draw against Bristol Rovers:

@SamMorshead_ @clifford12120 It stems from the top, unfortunately. Holloway saying he’s not celebrating until he’s achieved something, valid point but doesn’t mean you don’t thank 1000+ travelling away fans, doesn’t mean you don’t thank the fans after the game instead of heading straight down the tunnel…

@clifford12120 All salient points. There is a genuine disconnect all over the place that everyone has to work to rectify

FREE READ Football managers ought to be judged on football results. Right now, Ian Holloway is not. Swindon Town are 13 games from unshackling themselves from the EFL basement. For 13 games, can we at least pretend to be a club united? #stfc themoonraker.counterpress.media/opinion/13-gam…

@Mikeybacon85 @SamMorshead_ They didn’t field him illegally intentionally. The club believes is was tier 1 games or whatever call it but the EFL say it was ALL games.

@SamMorshead_ All very odd, surely we would’ve been keen to have him serve a game of his suspension against Luton, to have him available for Bromley?

FA charges: Think we might have to wait until second half of the week to hear outcomes/verdicts. That would mean Ollie Clarke being available for Notts County. But also drags the whole thing out yet longer.

@SamMorshead_ What’s Fils W/D/L totals looking like?

Update on one of my favourite metrics this season - points per match per player (ie ave points team has returned when player has played). 500+ minutes listed. 🥇 Filozofe Mabete 2.33 🥈Ryan Tafazolli 2.00 🥉Finley Munroe 1.96 #stfc

@DMoore0612 @SamMorshead_ @talkinghawes We’ve played our worst football with him in the stands, probably just a coincidence but seems weird they swapped Gav and Marcus.

@SamMorshead_ @talkinghawes Thought it may be the case, cheers.

3rd or 4th game in a row Bignott hasn’t been in the dugout. Is he in the stands? @talkinghawes @SamMorshead_ #stfc

@rosscojmill You love O’Neill, I can tell 😂

Trained by G&G I'm not sure adding another O'Neill into the mix is a good move. 😁

@rosscojmill @MartinPBSmith I tend to agree that it should be considered for him to be given the opportunity in a 2m novice/beginners where he’ll be 8 on and can go round at his own speed. However, I also remember If The Cap Fits and sometimes it’s just not worth it.

@MartinPBSmith You've also seen it not work. The "no brainer" was the arrogance, as if it's as obvious to all.

Like I said last year, send him chasing. No brainer

@chrisgambler247 Yeah and I fully get that but it’s the wording around it. Essentially the casino will fund the rest of your business allowing you to be a ‘bookmaker’. It’s hard to do just the sporting side alone but let it play out first and see how the firms react. Hopefully will take a bet…

@RGMRacing The reality is with levy, harm levy, betting duty and media rights there is no profit in laying win singles on racing if that is your only product. You have to be a one stop shop.

BetGoodwin founder Julian Head pulling all his horse racing sponsorship following the budget. Feels badly let down by horse racing going it alone. Will be putting all his resources into promoting other sports and the casino. A sign of things to come? 33 mins in.

@BethRigby I think the other huge worry is what she’s going to do to private pensions and contributions to them, making it impossible for people to save for their retirement will only extend the burden on the tax payers and government.

🚨Am also told that the govt is ditching plan to increase income tax rates, in a massive u-turn after a bruising few days. This extraordinary development broken in the FT by my former FT colleagues tonight

@mitchellsingh89 @CamelSaunders Glatz, Drin and Palmer simply doesn’t work; especially away from home. Thought that was agreed by now!

@CamelSaunders Wouldn’t be against 4-3-3. However I expect it to be 5-2-3 which has been zero wins for us this season with that formation!

Feel like I am repeating my tweet again! If Clarke is CB and not CM, with Nichols and Kilkenny in CM on their own! It’s going to be another game where we are going to start off awfully! #stfc

@Official_STFC The 5-2-3 hasn’t and doesn’t work. Hopefully today proves that for the final time

"It was a bad day in the office. Thought we recovered from the first goal quickly, but then the game was changed in a moment of madness when the referee sent Ollie Clarke off." 💬 Ian Holloway on defeat to Accrington Stanley:

@tommymezza Equally, why are we rushing a free kick in our own half, aiming for a centre forward who’s stood on his own? Logic says you play that ball to far post not straight to the CF.

At what point do we have the conversation about Will Wright?? Great on the ball but so poor defensively #stfc

@stixxstfc @SamMorshead_ Just a shame he’ll go for free in the summer! 😔

@SamMorshead_ 🥳🥳🥳..thanks Sam..think whole fanbase will b pretty pleased with that news this evening

Window closed. Ryan Delaney remains a Swindon Town player. No one in for him on deadline day. #stfc

@PeterGr06233348 @thetowntalkpod @MoonrakerSTFC Ball. Holloway said same injury Drinan sustained the back end of last year. Clarke still rolled ankle, I think.

@thetowntalkpod @MoonrakerSTFC Clarke out for 2 months or just bally

🚨 BREAKING: Ollie Clarke and James Ball will miss Saturday’s game against Shrewsbury. The latter is expected to miss up to two months of football. [@MoonrakerSTFC] #STFC

@stfcfeo @TomFred85 Thanks Vicki!

@RGMRacing @TomFred85 Hi Ryan, they will be available from gate 12, which is also the away end.

1,713 sold for Cardiff 👏🏼 ℹ️ cdn.cardiffcityfc.co.uk/sites/default/… 🚗Entrance to the car park is along and off Sloper Road. If using Sat Nav please enter the post code: CF11 8AW. If using WHAT 3 WORDS, please enter ///torch.retail.gaps Away coaches and minibuses park free of charge here. 1/2

@idkmatetbh @buffalo66q He’s a centre midfielder… chucking him at RWB in league 2 is bound to get the better of him. It’s a shame McGregor isn’t ready, hopefully features tomorrow

@buffalo66q It's difficult, he naturally plays a lot more similar to how Cotterill did for us last season, so his defensive abilities lack and his experience ofc

Wilson-Brown Munroe Snowdon All great players with very much the skills needed, but definitely needing that experience which they lack in that back line Must say also, Snowy looks a lot more comfortable when in attacking positions

@TomFred85 @stfcfeo If they respond to me on email I’ll drop you a message here

@RGMRacing @stfcfeo I know any uncollected tickets for away games usually get taken up on the supporters' coaches. But wanted to check that's definitely the case for Tuesday &, if so, where we pick them up from.

@TomFred85 @stfcfeo I’ve also emailed in the same, it says on the confirmation email you can but would be good to know where from!

@stfcfeo Will I be able to collect my pre-paid ticket from the ground? Forgot to pick it up on Saturday!!
