Couldn't have asked for a better start than that. We have one of the lowest budgets in the league so as long as we're not fighting pompy for the bottom spot then I'm happy

Totally expecting the usual form of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory once more.
I would imagine very poor odds at the bookies for the Blades not making the top 6, or even the top 2. I'll go for play offs before then slipping up. Another Blade checking in. Yep, your prediction sounds about right.

Argyle were shocking against a poor Aldershot. The ref didn't help, but a bad start. It can only get better. Roll on Tuesday and the Daggers.

Little Dave said: I really hope that Swindon do not run away with it, not that I have anything against them but one of the guys I work with is an avid Swindon fan. He took much joy seeing Crawley succumb their lead last season and even more joy taking 6 points of us. It was very painful having to buy him a beer at the Broadfield after an embarrassing 3-0 defeat. Hi Dave....I suspect tomorrow at work is going to be another painful one????

In a way I guess I deserved some stick. I sent him a text on Saturday gloating that Crawley were top and Swindon were down in 18th. I have to say that Swindons home record is very impressive - one goal conceded in 18 games?? Crawley will show that they are not out of their depth in League 1. A comprehensive victory on Saturday and a good result in the Cup against Millwall the previous week. I think we will be mid table and may even challenge for a play off spot.

Another 3-0 win against Crawley, thats the 3rd time on the trot. And they say good things come in threes!
I live in Manchester and mostly watch the town when we're away in the North but the last time we lost at home was the last time I went down to the County Ground for a game, August 21 2011.
MK Dons at home on Saturday will be a test of that record and of our ambitions for this season. COYR!

Sounded like a very routine 1-0 win at the Orient for us last night.
Oldham away Saturday, I'd take a draw. Our home form has been good too. Last defeat was to Orient on Jan 2nd - Still not lost a league game from a winning position since Dec 1 2009 (the only team to beat us from a losing position since then was Spurs in the FA Cup!).
Even better - we actually went 2 years without ever losing a game we scored in.

Lets hope they can keep this momentum going. Stoke on Tuesday  A little cup run is always good, but obviously the focus is on the league. COYR Good result for Crawley too...left it late though!!

Yeovil Town fan of forty years here, loving the fact that, temporarily at least, we top League One right now!!
I also work for the club writing match reports for the website, write and co-edit the programme and I'm also writing a book in the next twelve months about the club.
Have bookmarked the thread for regular returns as we (possibly) slip down the division....

There's something about being beaten by Bury (or having a likely win taken away) that's cost quite a few managers there jobs. It's as if losing out to Bury is the final straw

Like you said, it was almost the ultimate in embarrassment that a little club like ours turned them over. Therefore the manager must go. To cap it all, we played Coventry the week before you!!

First time I have been on a thread with 2 Bury fans on. Magic. Great result for us on Saturday coming back against Cov. Would like to think that we get to mid table. Lost our manager to Crawley so we are are probably going to let our Asst Shirty have a go. David Healy has joind us so really excited about that too

To cap it all, we played Coventry the week before you!! Top result for your lads at weekend and particularly liked who it was against. Our manager (Knill) deserted us with 8 matches to go in a play off position to go to S  horpe taking his assistant and GK coach with him. Probably the best thing that happened to us as Richie Barker (now doing well at Crawley) and the players spurred on at losing the manager, got us over the line - winning the first 6 games after he left. Good luck for the rest of the season.

Think the Healy signing and Byrne are good news and would be happy to see Shirty given the job for teh season, seems to have the backing of the players and the board. Looking forward to the PNE match in a fortnight and atmosphere surrounding Healy, I hear they aren't his biggest fan

Good luck for the rest of the season. Good luck to you and yours. I hope you're looking after the legendary Efe Sodje for us....  Knill could be on a sticky wicket up there. I didn't go on Saturday but reports said they were woeful and booed off the pitch at the end. They are a similar sized club to us albeit they have a bigger catchment area to choose from but never really liked them for some reason.

Gashead here. (Bristol Rovers)
I'm feeling slightly annoyed after the events at Wycombe at the weekend. We were 3-1 up when some over officious H&E officer decided to abandon the game part way through the second half because lightening allegedly struck the stand the Rovers fans were in. It might sound like sour grapes but I'm pretty sure it would of been a different outcome if the scoreline was the other way around.
I guess we'll have to accept the decision and get up there and kick their backsides a second time.
Any WWFC fans on here like to air their views?
