F.A.Cup...Re-play V Luton at Home. Tues 16th Jan 19-45

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

I actually think Derek Clark is better than Dearden. Jacko seems very confused a lot of the time, and thus it's not always that easy to follow as a listener.

It is difficult but he doesn't talk about the weather. I find that Derek commentates like we're all watching with him whereas I can understand where the play is with Jack.

I have to agree that Derek's commentary doesn't always make me immediately realise what's happening where on the pitch. He's got a good tone and knows his subject but when you're listening without imagery you need to know we're 30 yards from goal or attacking down the left wing or whatevs.

Dearden for me. By quite a distance.

Triple change for Luton. Just what we need

Iredale on for Forrester for us.

Hopefully nothing serious.

I presume that's a tactical change?

PA says just a double change - Mengi (booked) for Bell and Doughty (good) for Giles.

I love Baxter.

Foz was booked in the first half; maybe it's an actuarial decision to reduce the risk of a suspension. As a WB himself, Iredale might also link up well with Ashworth. Plus "minutes in the legs" for Jack

Wigan put a pengy wide

Sounding like a right ding dong do on't wireless

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

Wigan out of the Sherpa!

Dearden and Browny also making the point that Iredale - arguably more of a left-back/wingback - is naturally more attacking than Forrester, whom Evatt has called a good "box defender". So it's risk/reward - add an overlapper in midfield to make up the numbers - we may have more chance of conceding but we may also have more chance of scoring.

Well it's certainly done us no harm thus far. We've had the better of the second half as it stands.

[nicholaldo]

Or not.

[officer_dibble]

Bollocks

Or not.

Gah.

Cheers.

The other thing about Iredale for Forrester is that I assume Toal was LCB in the first half – certainly he's RCB now with Jack on - and I always think he's a little more uncomfortable on the ball on the left.
