Shipley makes a good run in behind, lays it off to Stokes but he gives it away.

JMD then gets it but heavy touch and it goes back to them.

Stokes is so bad on the ball these days, offers nothing going forwards.

Maguire-Drew looks skilful but doesn't look like he wants to get stuck in.

 

[Nick]

Stokes gets stamped on, think it was missed. Very blatant.

Heard him shout "Ah you fucker".

If the lino hasn't seen that he should be fired.

 

[BackRoomRummermill]

Read your original post again

LOL I see

 

[sw88]

Everyone up for a free kick. We take it short

Surprisingly comes to nothing

The refereeing at this level really is bad isn't it.

 

[BackRoomRummermill]

There is still time need to get Bayliss with the ball

 

[sw88]

Listening to who?

The fly was in the dressing room

 

[sw88]

Burge again almost bringing us into trouble

 

[BackRoomRummermill]

I've got 2, none of them lay anything and never have.

Is one called Biamou LOL

 

[covcity4life]

Fucking burgeeee

 

[Nick]

Not sure how mcuh clearer it needed to be, he was looking at him. Lifted his foot and stamped on his ankle.

so is the control, passing and tackling.

 

[Marty]

I wonder why Burge came back in today. If as he says there's no real No. 1 then he should really have stuck with O'Brien. I thought he did well last week.

He was rubbish, nearly cost us a goal coming for a cross he had no right in going for. Poor positioning for another which was cleared off the line from Willis. Burge is the better of the 2, but ideally neither would be anywhere near the first team.

 

[mark82]

Fair point

 

[skybluepm2]

Yeah okay is there a point to that?
If a keeper makes 2 mistakes in the first 4 games? How can they not be dropped?

Burge made one about 16 matches ago? And has now made a second? Big difference

Neither should be making the types of mistakes they have done, even at this woefully low standard of football we are involved in.

They’ve both cost us points in games where had they not occurred, we would be in a far stronger position than we currently are. In fact, I’d go as far as saying they may well cost us our place in the play-offs or automatic promotion.

Let’s cut the crap that Burge is having a good season or that he’s actually half decent at this level. Some of the superlatives that I’ve seen used for his performances are actually embarrassing; ‘superb’, ‘having a brilliant seaaon’, ‘tne bear in league 2’. The performances of the guys in front of him have meant that he has had to do very little in the majority of games that he’s played aside from the basics. Some seem to think that we can just brush this sort of thing under the carpet and accept it.

We have terrible officials at this level, they are all non football playing fat slobs who wanted to have a hobby

I think most goalkeepers at this level are the same unfortunately.

 

[Paxman II]

Think we will score. Then go on to win.

Dirty f****r

 

[Nick]

Would think Robins has to be thinking about a change soon surely?

I'm guessing from recent comments you've played at a decent level and think this makes you more informed than the most?

 

[matesx]

Shove Barret on let’s see what he can do

 

[Marty]

Good play from biamou then.

 

[sw88]

McNulty played in by biamou who got back well to win the ball on the half way line, holds it too long, keeper saves for a corner

Corner comes in eventually after a short one, deflected wide for another corner

Poor Shipley header but was a poor corner too

 

[Nick]

Biamou does well to win it back, puts McNulty through but the ball is bobbling badly. It bobbles, stops dead then carries on again.

 

[sw88]

Good play from biamou then.

Don’t be saying that on here

 

[Johhny Blue]

Would think Robins has to be thinking about a change soon surely?

He's a 60th minute man

 

[BackRoomRummermill]

a draw would be fantastic here

 

[sw88]

Bayliss out wide to Grimmer, his cross heads towards Biamou who wants an overhead kick of all things! Defender gets in his way, ball finds Doyle whose half volleyed effort is block

 

[Johhny Blue]

a draw would be fantastic here

A win would be fantasticer

 

[Marty]

McNulty puts a shot in someone's front garden.

 

[Nick]

I have just started getting commentary?

Just as McNulty hammers the ball into somebodies living room.

 

[steve82]

Super stuart beavons day

It comes and goes, I'm guessing they're located next to the camera man.

 

[Johhny Blue]

Wait for it....................................Wait for it
