Not far off

[mistertonmick]

Also Bartonscorpian, there were 6 lads making their first ever start in a first team shirt and 3 more had game time so apart from Davis, Onaraise and Hippolyte the only other experienced players were O’Malley and Rowe so seeing Palmer played 21 minutes for City on Saturday against Norwich and I think 2 or 3 others have had first team experience in preseason friendlies they probably had more experience than quite a few of ours, our lads gave a good account of themselves but you could tell a difference, and when an opponent scores a worldy it did deflate the team for a while,and we had a goal disallowed for some reason, but we played quite well second half and they scored late on after young Collins parried the ball out to their player after making a good save, but he played well and made some good saves, Poulter looks impressive and puts himself about and will be one for the future, I think Jessop needs to go out on loan I don’t think he is ready for first team football yet.

It was James Moody and Alex Kenyon in the Radio Humberside Bay doing commentary, Kenyon has a scouse accent so I will let you guess who was doing the main bit because I didn’t hear it, I had a little chat with Alex before the game and he is a real nice bloke to talk to, he said he is nearly fit to play now.

[mistertonmick]

He was also on the pitch last night putting them through their paces before the game.
But when you’re hands are tied the management bear the brunt.

Cole Palmer who scored the first played 21 minutes for the first team against Norwich on Saturday, I was impressed with their captain who was in central defence and the little number 99 was outstanding.

And yes Northumbiron I did go to the game.

I’ve been to Crewe a few times but can’t remember the fish & chip shop, the last time in one of our promotion years, didn’t there used to be one across the road from Stockport’s years and years ago, but could be wrong.

[mistertonmick]

Or support Rochdale, good fish shop outside the ground.

Humberside commentary was shocking.
Newey was OK, but not the same without Mike White, other bloke was dreadful.

I asked Tom Newey where Mike White or Matt Dean was and he said doing Hull City, I didn’t know the other commenter I’ve never seen him before and he was a oldish fellow, listened to Humberside on way home but apart from interviews with Cox, Scrimshaw and McCann it was all Rugby League, though I did have a good chat with Chris Sumpter and it is 18 months since I saw him, also Lee Novak was at the game according to someone near me who had been to the Bar.

[mistertonmick]

You are right but I just said I don’t like it, also I think swapping Jessop for Green weakened us, I have never seen a team get so many injuries as us this last 2 or 3 seasons.

Very disappointed with the second half performance, our goal was the only one we had on target all game and we never troubled the keeper at all apart from the goal and the attack won nothing in the air all game, the new lad played OK but Green and Hippolyte had a couple of good runs then did nothing with it, either wayward pass or tripping over the ball,
I must praise Rory Watson who had a good game and also I am not keen on 3 at the back, and also substituting the left back on 75 minutes every game, also still don’t like Pugh playing right back.
We are the home team and again it wasn’t football to win the missing fans back, it was Knill side passing and Wilcox let’s hang on to what we’ve got style, I know we have a lot of players missing but if we carry on trying to win 1-0 every game it’s going to be very boring.

So expecting a blooper today then Les.

[mistertonmick]

hadn’t he been given the number 1 shirt before Bilson came here.

[mistertonmick]

on Humberside it said he would start on the bench, regarding whether O’Neil or even Loft can play with a mask I haven’t heard it mentioned, where was Hippolyte the other night I haven’t heard what was up with him either.

[mistertonmick]

Scrimshaw is on the bench, so possibly no striker in starting lineup at home.

Barnsley have a new manager, the lad on loan at Cambridge last season Adeboyejo has played in a couple of recent games and played against us last season, though I am not suggesting this is the player.

[mistertonmick]

striker in today according to Neil Cox.

[mistertonmick]

Do you think we are actually looking for someone, how many times have we seen we are going to sign a player and all of a sudden he’s in their first team squad.

[mistertonmick]

I would be happy with George Miller back at the moment.

[mistertonmick]

He will be back on the bench on Saturday, the moral was certainly lifted in the last 5 minutes.

They are but unable to see any one else’s choices. Is that the same for you Michael ?

you do that different now to look at others

I’ve messaged Matt so we will see what happens, but I did my predictions last night.

[mistertonmick]

mine is showing fine on Edge Browser and iPhone, still no joker working and you have to go right to the bottom to save or press enter, I will get in touch with Matt, he was going to sort it.

Lewis Butroid was squad number 16 last season.

[mistertonmick]

I don’t know any other club that gets as many injuries than us, it’s every season now.

I take it none of the posters were at the Grantham match. D-T played most of the game.I understand why he is not getting a shout.

I think Neil did say he was only just back in training after isolating from the Covid.
