L Sheff Wed 1-0 Plymouth - as it stands, Owls go top

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

Ipswich - who've only won one in five league games - go behind at Cambridge

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

Accrington go behind at home to Lincoln, and in doing so, drop to second bottom below Burton - who they visit three days after our semi

[Mar]

Match is a bit of a damp squib at the minute. Nothing really happening. Not terrible just not incisive.

[DJBlu]

Ifollow is a joke. How many replays are overlaying the live action?

I heard the club are looking to go the way of Charlton/Leeds with our own channel. The sooner the better as this is awful.

[DJBlu]

Feck me these are desperate to waste as much time as possible.

Lad in the wall headed the ball into the ground, goes down like he's been headbutted.

[DJBlu]

Again, ifollow showing a replay as we're off on the attack to the right.

[Mar]

Cheltenham have been very arm heavy. Lots of pushing and pulling, nudging, etc.

Real scrappy stuff

[DJBlu]

Well, that's 45 mins of something and nothing.

Huff no puff?

Cheltenham's gameplan is clear to everyone. Hope we can break them down in the 2nd half.

Seeing the John who couldn't get near the side again today.

Won't do 50/50s, no cover for Jones, won't chase things that Cheltenham players get to, isn't pressing properly...dire.

Generally we're being well handled by them. Very little space in and around the box and our touch in key areas has been poor.

We're better than them, but they are making this their game.

Derby go in front, bang on halftime. But at least that, coupled with Cambridge beating Ipswich, puts Morecambe in the drop zone as it stands.

John is very poor. There are a few others too. No idea why we spend so long slowing a game down against teams like this. Free kicks and we are slowly walking to take it. We should be playing everything as quickly as we can.

Needs bit more brain in the final third for me. Shoretire looks lost. Doesn’t know where to find the space.

[GhostoftheBok]

Lad in the wall headed the ball into the ground, goes down like he's been headbutted.

That's happening a lot throughout the game. Totally shuts down second phase play.

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

Only two teams in the top half yet to have a shot on target: us and Ipswich.

[GhostoftheBok]

Shoretire looks lost. Doesn’t know where to find the space.

Credit to Bonds. Their best player so far. Totally shutting down that second 18 yards box, which is where we are weakest in terms of attacking play generally over the season.

[DJBlu]

Started poor.

Scrappy as buggery.

[GhostoftheBok]

Ref sick of their time-wasting too, it seems.

[DJBlu]

I'd be taking Declan off, he's in no mans land when they have the ball.

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

L Pompey 1-0 Barnsley
L Cambridge 1-1 Ipswich
L Derby 3-0 Morecambe

Oh and Accy are 3-0 down at home to Lincoln.

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

I'd be taking Declan off, he's in no mans land when they have the ball.

Who for, though?
Dixon, Sheehan, Lee, Isgrove, Mbete, Jerome, Khumbeni...

Could bring on Mbete and push Gethin LWB but he's hardly the most penetrative, even on his favoured right. Izzy? Evatt said he could play either WB role... but it's a big ask...
