    Late to the party, but: Marosi - 7.5 - convinced me he was actually s good goalkeeper as well as a footballer with some of his saves. Composure on the ball is excellent, especially considering he’s a L1 goalkeeper. Dabo - 7 - over aggressive at times, but he’s defensively sound and influences...

    Confident of a victory. I appreciate the calls for O’Hare, but I’d keep the same team unless Shipley is knackered. We played some great football last game before O’Hare was on, so I’d like to see them give another go. No point risking Mason, especially when McCallum has one of his strongest...

    I’m hopeful Kasteener comes good, and Jobello too. Plus we have O’Hare and Bapaga if needed. And I’m not writing Hiwula off just yet. But I agree, another wide player/inside forward/winger (however pedantic you want to be), would have been ideal.

    Imagine if we had effective wingers.... They are making options to be fair to them, but end product is poor - Jobello weak and Hiwulas touch is non existent. We’re playing well and full of confidence, just need to make the break through.

    We seem keen to use Jobello as much as we can; let’s hope he actually turns up. He just looks too weak and/or lacking confidence when attacking with the ball. Hopefully today is the day he finds his feet. McCallum looks very confident. Game is open, which should suit us.

    Frantic start. They are employing a very high press, but we seem to be keeping our composure, albeit the final ball is to an isolated Godden. Our players all have the wrong boots on, everyone is falling over. We need to impose ourselves soon, before there pressure fives them a goal. Hiwulas...

    As with most games this season, I’m feeling confident. After a very poor opening 20 minutes against Blackpool (and 90 against Oxford), we were back to our best for the rest of the game. As long as we don’t sit back, so we play offensively and at a quick tempo we’ll do well. Team wise, I’d go...

    We haven’t tried a routine specifically yet, as she’s only two weeks old and we’re still in finding our feet phase. But the plan is for her to have a set routine and even now we follow a rough plan. And she tends to wake up at similar times, the 2/3am one is the worst! Breastfeeding is still an...

    Started the second half well - as long as we continue to play football at a quick tempo we’ll win.

    The two goals definitely change the feeling somewhat. Even so, while we look vulnerable defensively, we’ve actually moved the ball around quite well at times, but the key is our tempo. When we play it around quickly and players move for each other we look threatening and Blackpool look...

    Is anyone else’s freezing or is it my connection?

    We’re being exposed down the flanks again - Oxford exploited it and now every team will. I get it’s early and it isn’t a knee jerk, but I’d be tempted to revert back to 4-2-31, we have the players for it.

    Cheers. As it stands I’m using a Chrome extension (setupvpn) and linked the laptop via Apple TV, and it seems to be working so far.....

    Kelly is a clear loss, but Walsh is a more than adequate replacement. Footballing wise he’ll be as good, just not as much leadership or experience as Kelly. Slightly disappointed not to see O’Hare, and worried about creativity and controlling the game. But O’Hare and Kasteener could be game...

    Cheers - although I hope it isn't long term, as I have a season ticket! As in screen mirroring from iPad to the TV via Apple TV? Yea I have issues logging in too - it is a shocking system I have to say. I know this is a basic question, but how do you know the VPN is working? On the iPad I just...

    Right, I need some help with this today. It looks like I am going to miss the game in person as my partner is (understandably) a little wary re being on her own with a 9 day old baby who has decided to become very fussy the last 2 days! Last time I tried this for a Saturday game, I couldn't...
