Blackmore hasn't held back on asking awkward questions that's why Martin doesn't like him.

He was tenacious and got stuck in yes but in a Shane Long kind of way, he was at his best further forward.

The side of the stadium outside the kingsland also makes for a great battleground, with the Northam lads at one end and the away fans at the other.

Complete midfielders are a rarity in the championship. Even when we last went up, we had Morgan who couldn't shoot, Hammond who wasn't really creative, chaplow who couldn't defend, Cork who couldn't shoot or pick out a killer ball...the search for an all rounder at this level means you end up with someone who is below average at everything, good at nothing.

Watch him drop THB as first choice now.

Don't really get why Smallbone would be getting more abuse than anyone else. He's been a solid member of the team this season and despite the usual discourse he does actually put some good passes and crosses in, as well as getting in good forward positions and bagging himself some goals. Our best midfield combo for me would be Downes and Aribo so what we're essentially asking is if Smallbone is good enough to be third choice in a championship side and the answer is absolutely yes.

Exactly. So we don't sell him.

It's a FIFA regulated competition isn't it? I'd imagine they have to.

Didn't learn anything but it reinforced how depressing modern football is when you have zero chance of ever winning anything.

Technically it never entered play so it can't go down as the worst throw in...

"Back out to Edozie" Who got subbed off. That's Mara you clown.

Liverpool bringing on an 8 year old to properly take the piss.

Awful from Smallbone but equally bad from Stephens sitting so deep and playing him on.

Hint of offside?

Having a great game. Nearly got an assist there for Pool.

Our midfield doesn't look in sync this half.

He really hasn't.

Hopefully KWP is coming on for Manning and not Bree.

Bree and Lumley have been excellent, I thought, including playing the ball around. Manning and Rothwell have looked a bit suspect with the quick passing.

I'd feel better with him as first choice.

Outstanding save. Curling away the entire time.

Maras making good runs and finding space. Only change I'd make is Manning for KWP.

Was that Rothwell taking it? Why on earth is he not on the edge of the box for every corner?

Charles showing why the fuck he hasn't been playing.

Manning is so slow to close down the cross.
