Commentary from B.N poor and sparse. Not Illes
Anyone got an idea what's happened? Quite like Iles' coverage.

Well we're very fortunate to be in front there.

You take it, but we need to improve second half.

Poor half, barring a decent 10-minute spell where we turned up and turned it on. Nearly all our best work down the left through Randy. Need a bollocking at half time as Vale were arguably the better team. So it’s nice to be winning.

We've probably been poorer than this however I can't say I've enjoyed much about that half of football. Thankfully we're winning. How long will it take the team to realise that no team is going to come here and have their bellies tickled?

I think we'll see a few changes in the second half.

We're looking a little suspect defensively and shape wise. They've been the better side, but we've been more clinical. If this is us playing badly and getting the right result i'll be a happy camper.

Stats are showing we've not had 1 successful tackle in that half. Probably a telling stat.

I don't think Vik it's very good tbh. It's still early but he looks a bit shit. Sheehan so powder puff and Shola completely anonymous too. We're not able to make anything stick up front. Dreadful performance so far but PV are shite at defending/goalkeeping so still confident we'll win.

Anyone actually see it :lol: ? Assume the lack of replay was because iFollow is typically shit?
I'm hazarding a guess that the reason they've not shown a replay is because they don't actually have it? Footage going wrong?

Good job we've got Marcus on the cam behind the goals.
We didn't even get to see it live!
A blink and you'll miss it moment. This is the trouble with the one camera approach.
It's literally because I missed it. Heard Derek screaming whilst in the kitchen making a brew. Cheers Sonic!
You're very welcome :lol:

Incredible to be winning after being comfortably second best.

Second goal was good but midfield is shocking. Lightweight and unable to offer any ball retention.

Shoretire completely lost. Like we are carrying him.

Back three and Bradley seriously seriously struggling.

Williams our best player by a mile and he’s getting frustrated with the rest.

Victor done well too. Looked a presence. Why are we just lumping aimless long balls though? It’s Gary Megson football. Midfield I guess is why. Too lightweight for me. Sheehan nice finish but again looks a boys v men situation.

Currently having an enforced wait in Carrbridge for a train to pass. It's apparently famous for being the site of the World Porridge Making Championship!

Jones coming on, giving the ball away and then going in knee high on the opposition. Yikes. Thought he was gonna get sent off there.

Conor Bradley is becoming so frustrating. A chance for a first-time ball in, waits, thinks, gets tackled.

He's been frustrating for months now. Struggling to match his early season form, which to be fair would've been hard to do.

Early on everything seemed to come off for him. Now it's a case of good ball progression with middling end product. Useful player definitely, but no less frustrating at what could come off.

Ade’s been limping for minutes so we send him a long ball to chase…. Coming off. For Dan maybe? Or Kacha?
