...I assume you're joking?

His heads gone. Robinson very naive and inexperienced.

Still laying into Quarshie.

That should be a penalty on Armstrong. The defender speeds up and runs directly into him.

The pass was overhit but he could have played it safe and just cleared it. I don't know why he let the ball go past him as it he was leaving it for someone else. So slow to react.

Calamitous. Welington shit pass, Quarshie unaware, Stephens misses the interception and THB loses his man.

Hoping for a big performance from Stephens to continue to prove me wrong.

Good to see Rothwell on the score sheet today...

Missed it, what was the goal like?

Yeah fair enough, maybe my expectations of professional footballers levels of professionalism is a bit unrealistic.

It is, although the "don't take it personally if you got subbed off" felt a bit...amateurish. they're professionals they know not to take it personally.

Wake up Maggie.

And just like in school I didn't read a single word of that.

I know this kind of blunt "putting people in their place" post is sort of your shtick, but you've badly misjudged it and been a bit of a knob here mate. One of the hardest things to do is to admit to going to far and apologising but you should give it a go.

"Cor, that's better. Been on me feet all day"?

Because Will Still came out after the game and said Dibling isn't in the right headspace to be a part of the team right now.

Yeah fair enough. One game in we should probably give them the next two weeks off to recover, bless them. By the way since starting to watch non league regularly I don't notice much difference in the amount of running/pressing/intensity.

If that were the case I don't think they'd have laid the blame at his feet so publicly.

Unavailable for selection Easter Friday but should be back by the Monday.

Thank god. We've played one game, the players don't need a rest. My local non-league side will be playing Saturday Tuesday Saturday most of the season, a professional football team should absolutely be able to do it.

I have to agree. Not being able to play while this is going on shows unprofessionalism for me.

You don't see many of them do it anymore so that's a terrible rebuttal.

Not sure what's funny @notnowcato. Watch it back, as the penalty is struck he's just landing from jumping in the air. At those speeds with those fine margins, that half a second it takes to adjust and dive is massive. This isn't a Bazunu thing, I've always said keepers shouldn't jump up and down when facing a penalty.

With 132 to play for after this game I doubt that line of thinking will have even begun to cross anyone's mind.

As LD said above, for the penalty he was bouncing up and down which meant he wasn't set to dive as the penalty was struck.
