It's not. It's ancient.

Hmmm, come on now, credit where credit is due for sure, but we were misplacing passes left right and centre. Accept that some were made under duress and from hard pressing, but many were made under little or no pressure at all. That's nowt to do with you making us look shit. You were...

Or even a 2, because it was the howler of all howlers. ;)

Is that a threat?

Yep, get all that, but second half we didn't really have any defending to do once Newport set up camp in their own half and I would say that McDonald most definitely does not just clear it ugly. There quite often is some precision and accuracy to what he does when clearing the ball. As I said...

He's on the luggage carousel going round and round waiting for the bag with his boots in to show up. He has to be better than he has shown so far surely. We need to give him time.

Kelly was shocking. It was bad pass after bad pass.

We were very poor though, Dave. Very simple 5 yard passes were going astray and were constantly being intercepted. For O'Brien I would have given him a 6 without the mistake. The mistake cost us the game and at least 2 points and as it was such an awful mistake I knocked 4 points off. Would...

I don't mind it and no-one is forcing anyone to clap and it's also very simple and easy to just keep quiet for 60 seconds. I also think that it is a mutual respect thing. They showed solidarity with our tragedy, so we show it with theirs. As I say, doesn't bother me and it's not compulsory to...

Depends how you score things. You might give Willis 6 for solid defending, but then knock 3 marks off for his really dreadful distribution. Makes perfect sense. We lost in part today because of inability to pass the ball to a team mate and then because of O'Brien's error.

Not at all. Just one of those days. Come on, we all know we are surely better at passing than we were today. That was abysmal. So many misplaced passes. And on the defence thing, most people I am sure rated them low because we played most of the second half in their half and they didn't...

No, it's fair enough. I don't know where the 4-0 thrashings came from, though I'm sure some were tongue in cheek. Newport didn't particularly look that threatening, but were well organised and disciplined and hassled and closed down all match long. They definitely deserved at least a point.

Because it cost us the game and I was in a let's all smash up the hotel room after the gig mindset. I was deliberately harsh.

Wouldn't have been very difficult for any player coming off the bench to have added something today to be honest.

Not wishing to be picky, but there was the Andreu chance and then a multiple chance just before half time where we had 3 or 4 stabs at it right on the goal line and one almighty goalmouth scramble.

Football was suspended wasn't it?

Ah, now makes sense!! Read it first time as a a rat faced tosser CALLED Rod McDonald, as if McDonald was the rat faced tosser.

What? You need to embellish that. What happened?

Well, half the time is nigh on impossible to have the slightest clue what he is saying on the PA system. I hadn't got a clue what he said past 'Barcelona', so when people clapped I just clapped along with them.

Yep, agree. For the moment at least anyway. His distribution is a liability.
