    HT 0-0.

    Not a bad game really - both sides taking turns to soak up pressure - but Bachmann has kept us level.

    I see JJ McKeirnan has scored the first goal of his loan spell at Eastleigh - the first of many I hope.

    Oh dear - a sublime pass by Asprilla sees Manaj through on goal, but he skies his shot over the bar.

    Great block by Kabasele stops Preston from scoring

    Goals galore elsewhere

    West brom 4 - Hull 1
    Burnley 3 - Blackpool 3
    Sheff Utd 3 - Blackburn 0

    Even Luton are 2-0 up against Swansea.

    Gosling on for Asprilla - this could blunt our attack

    Protecting Asprilla a bit, perhaps?

    He did look to have taken a knock - so yes.

    FT 0-0

    We looked slightly the better - and stats confirm that - but really need something else in front of goal.

    For me MOM was a toss up between Asprilla, Chowdhury and Kayembe. Unusually good performance from our midfield.

    Missed the first half, found a stream that was showing Hive, without the commentary, then it got chopped. By that time I decided to hang on to my £10

    He’s a super player, but, given his size, might fall foul (no pun etc.) of this higher bar for… a foul. ;)
