Who else is going tomorrow ? If I can acclimatise myself to the bloody weather I’ll be there. 30C and shorts and a tee shirt this time last week for me !

If anyone cannot make it, it looks like this (and all other games in this competition) is streamed free on the National Leagues youtube channel

Two good goals by us. 

Tyjon is playing upfront. Dunn's son is playing, so are Batty, Powell, those two CBs (Litherland and Aitchenson?) and Wood.

Decent first half, poor poor second. We never came out after half time. Also we never looked like coming back after going 3-2 down.  We lost too many 50-50 balls. The subs were way too late, we were getting over run in central midfield after 55 minutes.   Nobody is going to be knocking on the managers door tomorrow asking even for a place on the bench. Tijon ? The game passed him by, he’s certainly not an No 9 in a million years. Although he did win the John Buckley award for the most pointless booking in the game.  They looked like a team that is used to losing to me.
I expected more from Batty. Joseph came on too late and never got a pass.

I hope VI has the confidence and conviction to not play Tyjon if he doesn't deem it beneficial to the team in the short term.

I've made my feelings on this clear, I have no interest in blooding him this year to improve him on the chance that he signs a contract, especially if it's at the potential expense of Championship points.

Sign and play. Otherwise, best of luck.

If I were Tyjon’s agent I’d be telling him to sign that contract asap before we change our minds !

Precisely. Many more absent performances like today and Arsenal will look elsewhere.

He reminds me of John Buckley and that’s not a good thing.
