Almost.

2-1. Baker with one, Baker-Richardson with the other and Dave Tarpey to miss two penalties.
Damn! Beat me to it-note to self, read the thread first.

my sons just text me, said him and his mates asked some fella directions to the ground, they didn't realise until he turned round that it was fisher, said they gave him some stick.
I don't like fisher, but no one deserves to listen the inane rantings of a group of 15 year olds, potential grounding on the way!

Any away pub suggestions chaps?

there's a good boozer less than 10 minutes walk from the away end, to your left as you're going into the ground, can't remember it's name. Police try and steer away fans towards there anyway.

Well said Clint VD!

He came over and said hi to us as he passed by!

No McNulty on the coach, but perhaps he's coming by car grimness Sheffield?

No DKE's, Stevenson, Kwayme.

Forward line didn't seem to have much going for it (unless McNulty did come by car).

Guessing team will be;

Obrien
Grimmer
Willis
Davies
Stokes
Vincenti
Kelly
Doyle
Jones
Andreu
McNulty (or Beavon if he hasn't come by his own means)

Might as well go home now looking at that starting line up.

not happy with that front 2 at all. Hasn't worked as far as I'm concerned.
Not sure about Davies for Hyam either but we'll see how that works out.

O'Brien had to be dropped after his clangers, Burge not done too bad under Robins so I'm OK with that.

Surprised no andreu. Looks as if robbins has set up for a 'no lose' rather than 'go and win'.

Can kinda see why; one mistake is bad, two is too many!

Just a shame Burge is the only alternative!

2 in 2 is appalling. Before then he's looked steady. However, Burge will soon catch him up the useless piece of shit.

The only change I don't get is why has Kelly come back in for Andreu?!

Was looking forward to seeing Andreu. Why are we being so defensive against bottom of the league (granted only 3 points behind us)

Exactly. They are there for the taking. This is an ideal opportunity for us to get going again. Saying that, what normally happens when a team needs a result?

I prefer Stokes at CB.
Shame Haynes got injured Stokes could have done a job at CB saving us using the money of a transfer fee for a CB

Stokes has played 3 games as a CB hasn't he?

Oh how supportive people are being. Typical of cov fans.
I don't agree with the dropping of Andreu, but there is no need for all the negativity. Let's wait and see how it works. Some of the comments are ridiculous.

While I'm not crying or throwing my toys out, 2 DM's is pretty negative ;)

What has Hyam done wrong, we won the 2 games he started. Can't believe Beavon and McNulty are starting ahead of Andreu

Andreu and Davies are the surprises for me.

As much as I'd rather Obrien play, these two frustrate me more.

Andreu knows the game and clearly outshone others on Tuesday.

As for Davies coming straight in, I think that's harsh on Hyam who I think has looked useful!
