Popular Post Lord Snooty Posted April 8, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 8, 2022 Evening chums. Or morning. Depending where you are. Or what you do, even. Perhaps you work evenings. Perhaps you're a milkman in Brisbane. Do Australians have milk delivered? I suppose some must. Or perhaps you're a gentleman burglar. Reading this having just got back in from a night's plundering. Either way, whatever the time of day, greetings all. I must first apologise for this tardy OMDT. For it is written by hand and sent by Rook, or at least will be, to Hargreaves where I hope he ,or at least his long suffering secretary, Norma, can convert it to the printed word. The reason for this kerfuffle is that the old OMDT computer has gone for a Burton tonight. For my overweight , slovenly and- yes, I'll say it and mean it - conceited cat, Jemson, has for once in his life attempted to move from his usual position and have a 'mad half hour' as I'm told normal cats do. Usually one doesn't worry about his 'mad half hour', as the nearest he comes to movment is adjusting his fat furry arris into another position and falling back asleep. Alas, tonight he instead decides to go in full kitten mode and has ragged the cables and sent the OMDT machine crashing to the floor. Spools of tape, little green boards spinning like coasters and the lettered keys exploding across the room like Scrabble tiles after a "fun family games night" finishes in the usual explosive fashion when the mother in law has had too many sherries. Stubbs is, as we speak, sat with the Gorilla glue and a pile of fragmented plastic of various colours in front of him like an electronic jig-saw. If any man can, he can. But I fear the worst. There's a palid colour to him. A confused look on his usually calm and ready looking head. So, here I sit. Quill in hand. Rook at the ready. But with no access to my picture files. And having to do some bodgit and scarper cut and paste! My sincere apologies. Here it is... Team News.. OWLS • Olamide Shodipo and Fisayo Dele-Bashiru both returned to action last weekend, but centre-back Jordan Storey remains a doubt. • Darren Moore could make one change to the side that beat AFC Wimbledon last time out with Callum Paterson or Saido Berahino returning to partner Lee Gregory up top. BOLTON • Bolton will be forced to make changes from their 1-1 draw with Portsmouth midweek, as Ricardo Santos, Oladapo Afolayan and Kyle Dempsey all had to come off with injuries and join Kieran Lee, former owl in the sick bay. FORM - LAST 4 So, yes. I'm afraid that's it from me. Apologies all. Though I'm sure, being the superstitious lot we are, that if we arrive at the 3 points , and arrive their in comfort then you'll have me doing it by hand again next week too. Let's hope so.

Morepork Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 (edited) It's down to the nitty gritty. Are we good enough, have we got the mental strength to make it to the finish line........? I'd take a point, think that would be ok. Edited April 8, 2022 by Morepork Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Ibbo48 Posted April 8, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted April 8, 2022 Snoots you have my sympathy Curtently looking after daughters cat whilst they en vacance He’s big , hairy and ginger . Spends 90% of the time, whilst in residence, asleep in the wardrobe and the rest of the time treating the house like he’s trialing for WackyRaces. Lamps go flying , plants demolished , plays demented frisbee with random elastic bands then settles down with a good rummage on our lasses half done 1000 piece jigsaw. The language !! Anyway Another nervy afternoon as always UTO. 1 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nevthelodgemoorowl Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 I think we sail home by 2 or 3 in this one. It won't seal anything but it will put us well on the way ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TommyCraig Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 Hit it with a hammer (not the cat, wouldn't want you going full Zouma) or better still try turning it off and on again whilst calling its computery parentage into question. UTO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GermanBird Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Thanks mylord for the OMDT. As cats are generally lucky for us, I predict a demolishing win and important 3 points. 0:5 for the owls Up the owls (and the cats ) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyde2005 Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 (edited) Big acid test today . We have to win at least 2 of our away games out of 4 , Bolton are missing 4 key players probably there best 4 players, on top of that Ian evett says they have other injuries/knocks and covid (illness) he didn't look too happy . These are the games if we want top 6 we have to win ,our away form and style of play has been shocking but backed by over 5200 surely they can lift there game today and get the result. Nothing is guaranteed as we all know but if we can't beat this Bolton side today ripped by injuries and illness and who played Tuesday then we won't deserve a top 6 spot. Up the owls its time to deliver . Edited April 9, 2022 by Hyde2005 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwellOwl Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Could always get a dog instead Snoots? Another big game, time for a big performance away from home. COME ON WEDNESDAY!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hootsman Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 Unlucky M'lud, or is this the modern equivalent of 'The dog ate my homework'? Still it worked when @GermanBird stepped in the other week so I'm taking this as a good omen. It could be a magnificent day for us, wish I could be there. Going for a 0-3 Wednesday win and a party atmosphere on here later. Come on you blues. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
