Backs to Hadrian's Wall...Down to Bare Bones Away at Carlisle - Sat, 27th Jan. 3pm

[officer_dibble]

Spoke to soon don’t need another fecking defender injured!

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

And there's still questions. Like "Did Marc get the assist for Ashworth for the goal."

Heheh - a little glimpse behind the press-box scenes there...

Hope Jack's OK. If not it'll be Ogbeta on and either him or Ashworth at LCB.

Aashworth looks a bit uneasy too whilst iredake being treated

[DJBlu]

Just sat down and now it's two

Get stood up then. We want 4.

[The_Gun]

Ffs, please don’t be injured, you Aussie bastard.

Five extra minutes? Some of us have to check out of a hotel on the hour

Posh 0-0 at HT.

Paying by the hour? Isn't that what .....



edit: on the hour. Got you. lol.

[The_Gun]

That’ll do.

Is there actually something up with Santos, or is it just all perspective due to the tactics?

I'm not seeing Santos do his runs through midfield so maybe its just a change of tactics to simplify things and as a result he's looking less composed than he usually would be?

Doesn't look to be standing out as much as he would normally be, but doesn't seem to be doing bad either.

Only complaint is we should have another from that first twenty minutes…nowt daft in the second half and we’ll coast this. Moxon isn’t fit to lace Sheehan’s boots. Good half lads.

He's had a couple of runs but seems to be hanging back more.

Fleetwood winning and the supers winning means this fixture is currently top vs bottom , let's make that apparent superiority count.

My thinking is that Toal and Iredale have had a couple of nosebleeds recently and the occasional shake from Ric which has given us a couple of scares. So suspect we're a tad more focused on the defensive aspect rather than the progressive. Just need a bit of collective composure back. Be reet.

I understand what you're saying, and I suspect you may be right, but i'd also wonder whether or not its a tactical decision to keep them further back and work the ball forward a bit quicker instead of the underlapping runs through the middle from our centre halves. I noticed Jones had stopped doing his runs as well, so I suspect it's more a case of use using other parts of the play to get up top as opposed to having a defensive driver breaking through the middle.

DJ is genuinely playing "Highway to hell". Not really the music you want when you're in a relegation battle 2 nil down at home to current league leaders.

[Worthy4England]

Yeah, that too mate, I think. We're going to be a bit more solid in the middle so instead of doing x we'll do y.

[jmjhb]

Conserving energy maybe?

[DJBlu]

Derby just gone 1 down.

I was thinking the same thing. Pretty much tone deaf.

Ogbeta's got some work to do here to get that spot of Ashworth given his performance so far. Maybe we'll see him later in the game when its time for subs. Evatt usually has a game plan that's considered ahead of time.

It's very rare that this many teams in the top 10 are losing all at the same time. 4 out the 10 losing, 5 drawing and 1 winning (us).

Not of the top 10 are playing each other either.


The Portsmouth game looks like it's all Pompey too (possession wise and shot wise).
