Bit harsh on Coleman that is. I would have started with Baxter on the bench but then again I'm not the manager. Anyway, time for a COYWM!

No surprizes with the team selection. Welcome back Baxter. Good job Coleman. Now to take care of business on the field.

He'll not be subbing the goalkeeper during the match so it's hardly surprising Baxter's starting.

As good as Coleman has been, it's only right that Baxter gets back in. Baxter was injured and his form was great, Coleman was signed to play second fiddle. It's harsh on Coleman, but he's definitely done himself justice.

If Baxter was on the bench, he'd be nervous that at some point he'd be being brought off in favour of Baxter, so I don't think that would've helped his confidence.

Baxter's signed, and paid, to play first choice. Had both keepers been brought in to compete for the first choice spot then I could see it, but as it is, there'll be different levels of remuneration and different levels of expectation.

I'd be surprised if Coleman wasn't offered another contract, and i'd also be surprised if he wasn't provided options elsewhere. He's been good, but Baxter's first choice.

Size of their defender and he flops over at a touch in the back. Why do refs still buy it

Was thinking the same thing. Looks like the ref's giving them every one of them too.

Linesman flagged. Guess he felt he had to do something today.

We're oddly nervous in this game. Plenty of passing around with the defenders rather than getting the ball forward and go from there.


JDC getting knocked over, no foul. Fkin double standards from this linesman / ref.

Nothing when JDC gets the same treatment.

That linesman is a prick.

Wow, even the throw in was given their way. Never their throw in.

Looks like we're in for a tough game here folks, 11 v 12.

Suspect linesman, let alone the ref.

We've had a really good run of decent refs. Hopefully we dont end up going back to the crap sort again.
