Whilst we’re on passing again, what was Barrows success rate yesterday? 1 from 30 or so aimless punts down the right touchline. Sorry to pick on Ross, passing was abysmal overall, but he was the one that seemed to stand out as they were all so similar.
Back in the days of your avatar my mates and I used to call Graham Foxton “Ron Obvious” (after a Python sketch), because whenever he received the ball he would most likely punt it upfield in the general direction of Kerr or Keegan.
What goes around comes around eh?
Re: late substitutions.
“Generally30 seconds is added to stoppage time for each individual substitution made during a football match, according to BBC Sport and RefChat. If multiple substitutions occur during the same stoppage, it is counted as one opportunity, although the referee may add extra time if the process takes longer, notes TheFA.com.
Standard Rule: 30 seconds per substitution.
Contextual Time: If a player takes too long to leave the pitch, the referee can add more time.
Multiple Substitutions: Multiple substitutions by a team during the same stoppage count as one, but the referee will account for the total time lost.”
So basically, the more substitutions you make the more time you give the opposition to score.
Conversely it gives you more time to score too. But if you’re taking off your forwards and replacing them with defenders that would seem less likely”

But still a better option than Farage or Badenoch.
PS I think it’s Sir Keir.
Back in the good old days the moderates would leave Labour and set up their own centrist party (SDP anyone?).
The centre-left are looking almost like centre-right because there is a present no effective centrist party. What the hell has happened to the LibDems?
We need Bobby G to post on why they have gone into hiding.
Green Gorton!
Or was that Goblin?
Does his “fastest goal” record still stand?
What Andrew needs to concentrate on is coaching his players to pass to a teammate instead of blind flick-ons and hopeful punts upfield.
Really wasteful again last night.

Worse than their 9?
Stones gave him a lesson in both goal scoring and shithousery.

‘The Sun Always Shines on TV’?
“There’s Never a Forever Thing”, I suspect!
He is on loan for the rest of the season Bhuna their webpage say’s so, I’m with the Altrincham fan who said we announced only a month deal just to appease our fans.
Aye, and a bloke in our local said Newcastle had made an agreement with Real Madrid to sign Mbappe!
Rest of the season because he has a bad attitude? The Chinese whispers that is Social Media.
Or is Dec the new Bobby Grant?
If we have to send players out on loan because we can’t give them game time then our squad is too big, not too small!

And who are the top five?

To play 100 games you have to be in that division for at least three years (assuming playoffs don’t count).
We could have been the top of the NLN Ton Table but we only stayed there two years.
The only thing that table shows is that the league is a bloody difficult one to get out of.

Can’t afford to play in the fourth division? Jeez!
Not quite sure about the Carlton/Roberts swap but the cognoscenti on here were saying Ewing should be dropped.
York stronger and half a yard sharper. Iron wasteful and wayward.
Had a decent spell of possession midway through the second half then Mahady decides to go play fullback. Shame as he’d made two good saves to prevent certain goals earlier.
And do we have a plan of attack other than to wait for the opposition to make an error?
All looking a bit disjointed!

Does it have Howe 7 on the back?
Ruins of former Empires attract as many as visitors as upstanding edifices!
The buckets and blankets collections of the past are pointless now.
No one carries cash around anymore!
The report on the Truro v Heed game makes for interesting reading!
I don’t for one minute believe that professional footballers stop trying once “the objective has been met”!
Their form dips, sure, particularly when they’ve been playing out of their skin for two dozen games. Ewing needs some time out to regain his early season form but AB seems loathe to drop him.
Perhaps if Brogan and Scales were still in the building he”d have better cover in midfield.
Dawson out now. I just don’t get the deal with loans both in and out.

We can only recall Howe if there’s a recall agreement in place.
Initial month I believe so that’s up next weekend.
With the players we have Butler should be able to change from a 4-3-3 to 4-4-2 as and when the need arises.
Not that difficult.

Waiting another four years?
Bollocks to that!
Yes, had fought point. Disappointed with Dale. Considering the are in the box seat they looked very average.
Once again too many aimless punts forward and misplaced passes.
Not quite sure what happened with their penalty? Did Dieseruvwe touch it?
With just one automatic spot and six clubs thrown into the mix via the heavily seeded playoff lottery it was always going to be a big ask get out of this division at the first time of asking.
Six or seven ex EFL clubs wanting to get back there and at least four are going to have to wait until next season.
Who knows, next year it may be three up. The cliche “it’s a marathon, not a sprint” seems particularly appropriate at the moment. And it looks like we may have hit “the wall”!
Do we have the finances of F Green, York and the rest?
So being a politician is like being a PL manager then?
Instant results otherwise you’re history!
A draw would have been a fair result. Bit of a howler from Mahady for their first and poor defending from the corner for the second. No complaints about their third as we were all up there in search of the equaliser.
Big problem tonight was the number of times we gave the ball away cheaply. Need to cut that out.
Always a big ask tonight and just the fourth defeat in 29 games, so not too shabby.
If we can avoid defeat I’ll be happy.
Was at St James Park (Gallowgate End) for the original tie. Should have won. A certain Neil Warnock had an open goal to aim at but narrowly missed the corner flag!
Remember being at the Fox St end for the Arsenal game but don’t recall being bothered by the rain. I guess kids were tougher in those days!
I just don’t get the timing, if we announced someone inwards at the same time great but we’re now heading into a crucial game on a pitch which saps energy and we’ve made our bench much weaker. Why not send him out Monday if at all.
Unless Smith is Howe’s replacement?
