Well this is rather bollocks isn't it?

Geez I know it was our first loss in a while and we shouldn't throw the baby out with the bathwater, but fuck me what a shambolic display that was.

I reckon that was the worst 45 of the season so far. Second to everything all over the park, and poor Devon's having a nightmare

Yes, but in which year?

Not a fair comparison. Even The Neverending Story eventually ended.

Well, shit, there goes my plan then.

I'd go with: O'Brien Dion KE - Willis - Davies - Camwell Devon KE - Stevenson - Shipley - Finn Beavon Ponticelli Davies, Willis, Beavon and Devon Kelly-Evans would satisfy the four qualifying players rule. Take Willis and Devon off at half-time. I get the whole 'keep a winning run going' thing...

Burge 6 - did not look as assured this week as in previous weeks, particularly in the first half. Another clean sheet though. Grimmer 6 - a few nice forays forward, but was also exposed down his flank a few times in the second half. Willis 7 - another solid performance. McDonald 8 - seriously...

No, he didn't. Even so, there was enough in his performance to suggest he's worth a longer run in the first team. At the very worst he needs to remain on the bench as an impact player, I reckon.

Somebody pointed this out on Twitter. Couldn't for the life of me pick out who was offside; I'll have to re-watch the highlights.

Burge 7 - couldn't really fault him for the goal, did everything else right. Grimmer 6 - just a game, really. Willis 6.5 - couple of questionable clearances, didn't seem as sure of himself in this game for some reason. McDonald 7 - another pretty good game. Can't help but wonder if things last...

I for one hope it's good, solid, competitive niggle, rather than being anything detrimental.

Oh yeah, absolutely a tactical masterstroke

You just have to ignore the frankly dreadful free kick beforehand, and it becomes a piece of pure magic :smuggrin:

Burge 7 - didn't really have anything to do, but came up big with that late save Grimmer 5 - not his best game, thought he was caught out a few times defensively McDonald 9 - superb today (it was today for me before anyone comes in and corrects me) and my MOTM. Shut Reid out almost completely...

Reckon we'll play worse this season and win, quite frankly. There was a lot to like about the performance (though I accept that ultimately it's the result that matters.) Hate to say it but I would probably give Vincenti a spell. I know he had two reasonable games against Port Vale and Carlisle...

Nah, Melbourne, which at the moment is about the same temperature!

My first game was on November 27, 1999, at home to Leicester. I'd landed in England twelve hours earlier, stayed at another Cov fan's place in London, then got the train up, met my English-based family who I'd never met before, then walked up to Highfield Road. We lost 1-0 but it didn't matter...

Gaaaah, bloody Vicky. Geez she used to give me the irrits (hardly alone on that score to be fair). Then she found out she knew my cousin and suddenly I had to be nice :happy:

I think he did once, but I chalked it down to an overhit long pass rather than a miskick :happy: Edit to add: your comment on Vincenti was spot on too regarding a potential sending off - there was a very late challenge that I don't think he was even whistled for that I was convinced was a...
