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.

Applause for the people of Barcelona wasn't it? I don't see it makes much difference if it is silence or applause if you want to mark the occasion.

Agree. I am disappointed, but not despondent and I can't see us passing the ball so badly as that again this season. I counted at least 9 very poor misplaced passes in just the first half alone. Bad day at the office and a shockingly soft goal to give away. One thing that concerned me today...

Vincenti definitely won some headers today. I just don't think he was as poor as others.

Yeah, fair point. First half most certainly. On reflection that should be half a mark down, if not a 4.

This should be easy!! O'Brien - 2. It was just such a poor effort from him, from a shot not hit that hard from quite a way out. Grimmer - 3. Poor Willis - 3. Poor McDonald - 7. The only starter who played well. Stokes - 5. Distinctly average and offered little going forwards. Doyle - 5...

What about at the end of the first half and that almighty scramble and series of blocks. Hard to believe we DIDN'T score there.

Your guys worked so hard for you today and we were toothless. I thought it would be a tough game, but had us down to win. We need to be smarter than this. Good luck and what sort of magic powder did you sprinkle to get Frank Nouble tackling back and helping the defence out? Good luck for the...

Willis is infamous for hitting long hopeful balls. Passing has been truly dreadful. Needs a change, but it system or personnel.
