Just tuned in after usual post festive duties...sounds encouraging yet again, but lets capitalise on this. Downes again playing well. Doing well this lad, given game time.
I am very relaxed about this game. Not expecting anything, and footie is a funny old game aint it? But, this, just a point will be great, and next 2 games really will define our future. Perhaps my friends we need to start to re-set our mindset, and prepare for the worst, and try to look for something positive about the likely Drop...
Damn laptop battery died and I missed what happened, saw the penalty being taken after I got it plugged in but not the incident that caused it. Anyone got some info? We were totally in this game before giving a free goal away.
Think Spence fouled Hugill, soft pull...soft pen... but that's our luck at bottom of table. Take no hostages!
Thanks gaffer, I'll watch it back on the full replay tomorrow. Really not we needed, we were actually playing ok with Downes and Kenlock doing well and Nolan having a better game than Boxing Day. iPlayer has a decent service now, live stream with commentary and full replay is available a day or two after the game in case you miss it live.
That was a decent first half to be fair. Kenlock has been better than Knudsen, especially attacking and overlapping. He's got more composure and skill when he gets in to the opposition full back area and has added to the attack on that side. Downes is improving at a rapid rate with consistent game minutes and is demanding the ball in the middle. Nolan has been way more positive on the ball than he was a few days back. We deserved to go for a cup of tea at 0-0 but gave a penalty away and now have to score to get something from the game. We've had a couple of chances and look like we can create more than on Wednesday so I'm actually confident we'll score at least once in the second period.
Well, this is all we need, Lady Luck has played her trump card, damn it! He will try to soldier on, but should be rested.
Hanging by a thread....this could be the helter skelter ride down to ground zero we all dreaded. In spite of that and appreciate San Diego's live comments, we have played well 1st half. Penalty scream.....again! Ref's guilt from 1st soft one!
