My commentary standards haven’t dropped over the summer. It’s just not having normal numbers and multiple subs, I can’t figure out whose going off or coming on

Fucking hell lets all run to the hills - panic stations everyone - the end is nigh! (Before its even started).

That's not what I said.

I said our squad is good but our striking area is weaker than last seasons, and we are in a higher league. That's a fact as it stands.

It's not an overreaction. I'm highlighting something I think is a genuine issue, that some others seem to be ignoring, maybe because they trust Robins, or maybe because they are still high from promotion.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Another one who only pops up to be negative. Have you not formed AFC Coventry yet? Good job as you'd give up after losing the first game

They were the words of Jason...you don't seem to see the joke in there. Nevermind... you continue to complain about posters happy chap...

 

[sw88]

Mason looks to be playing in front of Brown

I think most of us are hoping he gets a decent replacement in before the season starts.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

If we had it wouldn't make a jot of difference to our season.

It's still good to get used to winning a few games as a team and finding the back of the net. Hopefully it will all come together in the first game.

Its ok i am trying to keep up

 

[sw88]

Can I just apologise if my match updates are coming in the middle of domestics! Feel like I need to read back all the drama later this eve

 

[Otis]

I'm banking on it. Confident it will happen too.

You’ve done a sterling job, Steve Two

 

[stevefloyd]

Nearly a goal after obrien pissing about with a clearance

 

[sw88]

O’Brien comfortably* lobs Thomas only to have to save a lobbed attempt over the top of him

*not comfortable at all, more luck than judgement

Robins will be at home in his kitchen tomorrow and when he turns his tap to make a glass of squash no water will come out " What the fuck" says Mark - I know its hot and the hose pipe ban is in place but I didnt think I would run out of water!
That my Selling McNulty and not replacing him analogy!

Well i hope its Dujon and not Raheem

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Yep. Thanks to Steve and SW88 from a caravan somewhere in (ironically) Derbyshire!

 

[sw88]

Someone shoots (yes I really am struggling with the lack of light now!), Derby keeper saves

 

[stevefloyd]

Really dark now

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

If he looked north of the border he'd find a 22 year old who scored 30 goals last season and has hit 8 in 3 games so far this summer. Maybe lure him down with some original recipe Irn Bru

 

[sw88]

Yep. Thanks to Steve and SW88 from a caravan somewhere in (ironically) Derbyshire!

Are You lost, or just don’t want to share your actual location?

I catergorically deny that sw88 and me are in a caravan in derbyshire

Been on that creative writing course again Gary?

 

[Otis]

Really dark now

Over Bill's mother's?

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

I'm banking on it. Confident it will happen too.

In similar situations in years gone by we signed Cody McDonald and Leon McKenzie...

Absolutely no service for strikers tonight

 

[sw88]

Corner comes in for us. It’s hesded a few times by player A, player B then heads it, before Derby man clears it off the line (or maybe nowhere near the line)

 

[stevefloyd]

Nearly all over

 

[GaryJones]

Dark? Is LAMPard in attendance?
Badaboom Badda Bing!

 

[sw88]

Full time

1-0 defeat

Will post more when I’m home as I need to drive back before it gets really dark

Right Im off to run for the hills!

 

[Nick]

Shipley and ponti were poor

Brown our best player.

Allisani looked decent, got hacked though

 

[David O'Day]

been on something

 

[GaryJones]

Nolan "We would have beaten Derby if the decisions went our way last season" "Why is the world such a cruel and unforgiving place?"

 

[stevefloyd]

Well we never really troubled their goal because of apparent lack of a striker but bearing in mind we kept them to 1 goal and they do have strikers so charlie boy not all doom and gloom ...just yet anyway
