    Tremendous first half, a centre back for the future

    I'd move Younger in to the middle of defence seeing as he is a CB and put O'Nien RB. It's Youngers natural position and O'Nien is better at getting forward on the right. Overall, need to pass it around and take better care of the ball.

    Happy days though, 2 nil.

    But Younger would need to help out Mcfadzean and i think thats expecting a lot.

    What do you do with Macfadzen, sub him and possibly destroy his confidence, leave him on and let him try and redeem himself. He's on a yellow (I think) so that gives LJ an excuse, but is Vokins any better, can't wait for Denver to return.

    We are 2 up, but need to get a grip of the game.... over to you LJ

    Get it sorted.... too many free kicks, half a yard too slow, not passing to the shirt and O Mcfazdean is having his usual game!

    It is a bit weird, they have had more shots but we have had more possession - oh and scored more goals.

    Nice to see Sir Bob there speaking at half time about the Charity fundraiser. Hope he's involved in the club somehow going forward

    Good point but he is a CB so may be used to doing that whereas O'Nien is a midfielder playing CB. 2 nil up we can give it a go and see how the first 15 minutes goes and switch back if necessary, or just hook McFadz and bring on Vokins and see if he can improve.

    I'd bring the young lad on at lb, they are getting in behind too much and mcfadzean is on a yellow. We need to look after the ball better. I think we are missing Goochs energy higher up the pitch.

    We have to be more dynamic up front and push them back ...

    ... let them grab a goal and we'll be in trouble.

    McFad is a liability. We're carrying him game after game. Some players have responded to L.J. 's coaching but this fella is not a League One standard player. Younger, a CB, is showing him how to defend properly. We need to find someone who can do a job there. Can't wait for Denver's return.

    I think we might score more by taking say O'Brien off and going with an extra man in midfield. We'd have more control of the game.
