Formerly with FGR and Bristol City before that, though he spent most of his time at Ashton Gate out on loan. Goal from the bench maybe? https://www.cu-fc.com/news/2021/october/shawn-mccoulsky/ |  |

So far so good for your predicted score Durham. Badly needed with three weeks without a league game ahead of us along with the defeat at Sudbury. Hope we get your 2-0 prediction in the second half as well, that would wipe out some of the goal difference! |  |

Pinault - whilst delighted with the half time score. We are playing the bottom side and we should be beating them. I will be delighted with a 4-0 final score. What is good of course is that both Dobra and Jasper are starting together for the first time. When we get our players back from their respective disciplinary offences there must be no more red cards. Three points today is what it is all about. Up the U's |  |

And that's shallot - U's up to 17th with a much-needed 3pts. Now on to Friday's potential FA Cup banana skin. Next home match not until Exeter on Tuesday 23rd November! |  |

Any Old Iron, three valuable points needed no tricks only treats on 19:35 - Oct 30 with 1017 views | bwildered | Positive first half and lead, but what happens at half time (? ) has and time again just not at the races thereafter. A win, but more convincing than the result. Will not be able to perform like that against the top sides who will not give you any time and space. A welcome three points though, but again need to build with more than one result. [Post edited 30 Oct 2021 19:36]

Any Old Iron, three valuable points needed no tricks only treats on 21:12 - Oct 30 with 989 views | gerry_us | Apart from three points not too much excitement from me. 2-1 at home against the bottom club in the whole of the football league is nothing to get excited about. However....maybe the youngsters with their performance will get a better deal in the coming weeks |  | |  |
Any Old Iron, three valuable points needed no tricks only treats on 08:19 - Oct 31 with 927 views | noah4x4 | Great first half, but we evidently have a problem with match fitness and/or game management. The brilliant Jasper was rightly subbed as his legs had gone. The old(er) guard also started to struggle as the game progressed and sitting back, conceding possession and soaking up pressure was probably the wisest tactic at 2-0, albeit fans don't like it. Better sides than Scunny might have stolen a draw. But Sears, Dobra and Jasper had put us in control inside 20 minutes. That was the key for me. We can only win by scoring, and this combination looks capable. My fear is what happens when the old(er) legs flag further and Dobra and Jasper return to their own clubs? |  | |  |

Firstly possession is probably the most pointless stat in football and secondly the team that takes an early lead, especially if by more than one goal, is often happy to let the other team have more of the ball. Orient won 5-0 and Man U won 3-0 away from home and they both had less possession than the opposition. |  |
