Brilliant, but when the referee overturns it and gives it to them because we've taken too long (as happened just before I posted) it's not really an effective time wasting strategy is it.

The fuck are we doing taking so long with these throws?

IF we can, I'd try to leave Leo and Larin on the bench.

WAY OF THE SAMURAI Great work by Edozie in the buildup.

Really good turn and run by Dobbin.

Forgot Manning was booked. Makes sense.

Or that he's injured himself. Can't see Manning coming off he's done ok.

Edozies starting position is far too deep. Needs to be receiving the ball closer to their defence if not beyond it.

Robinson is getting much needed experience, I think the decision shows that we seem him as a long term option and Edozie as someone we just need as squad filler for the championship.

Not on the evidence so far he can't. A lot of managers have said Stephens can play LB, doesn't mean he is one.

Abbott is a CB isn't he? Don't know why we are surprised he looks awkward at RB.

Can really see today where we miss THB going forward, balls over the top from Stephen's and Schlott are nowhere near as good.

One that probably should have been rested after his effort at the weekend. Shame.

Took too long. Bit harsh I think given that he didn't actually blow the whistle to say he was restarting the game after stopping it for Downes.

This is the most confident I've seen us with the ball for a long time.

Nothing wrong with the OWTS before the game, gets the whole ground joining in. Goal music is fine but doesn't need to go on for so long. Haven't gone regularly for a long time, when did people give up on chanting for more than one verse? OWTS dies when it gets to the fast section and "it started in a chapel" ends when it gets to the ole part as well.

Dobbin up front, interesting.

Apart from anything else if they're going to stick with the bubble, there's absolutely no reason to bring kickoff forward to 12:00 other than to try and limit how much fans can enjoy the time before the game. Why the need to reduce drinking time if there is no chance of fans interacting anyway.

Yep, more wins than Birmingham in third and West Ham, only West Ham have scored more goals than us, only QPR and Swansea have conceded less. The -4 will skew things likely till we're over half way.

It's amazing how literally none of what he predicted came to pass.

I mean, the reason Dobbin, Mubama, Edozie, Fellows, Roerslev, Abbott and Welington don't start is because the player ahead of them in their position is the obvious best choice. All of them would walk into over half the sides in the championship.

I'd completely forgotten that they dropped all the way to league two. So close to dropping out of the football league altogether, what a shame.

I think we'll see a surprise start for Abbott.

Very small point I just remembered from the game that I found interesting, in the 2nd half the second freekick that we got Manning was lining up to take it and Stephens was yelling at him to let JWP take it, looked mightily pissed off. Think Manning has got a little big headed about his free kicks.

So at the end of one person's career it will be the first paragraph of their obituary, but at the end of the other person's career it will be forgotten? Even on a day like today you can't help but be a contrarian, argumentative, sanctimonious cunt can you.
