Top 5 reliable players for 3 months.

Oh lovely, Miller admitting to having a concussion in the full time interview. Won't be available midweek then.

At a properly run club you thank Hedges for his services and let him go at the end of the season. He's 30 now, 31 before the start of the new season and has always flattered to deceive. Here he'll get a new contract if he fits in the wage structure.

You can see why they grind out results. We're not a small, soft team anymore. When we're not giving away soft goals we're hard to beat.

Oh, full control - he knew exactly what he was doing then. If Baradji gets beyond him it's a huge counter attack. Disgraceful tackle.

Yeah, c'mon, ref, that's a clear red card for Whiteman. No attempt to play the ball.

Tavares vibes - trying to slow the game down to his pace. Acting like he's got all the time in the world on the ball. Quite scary, really.

Three, technically.

I'd have gone with Forshaw - and I'm absolutely on record as saying Forshaw's legs have gone.

He's much better at LWB. Focuses on his positive aspects (basically being a defensive Winger).

Absolutely not. Hasn't played a second of English football, now is not the time.

Looks like he played 6 times for Chorley. Often they pick up loans at that level for cover - suspect they had favourites at CB and he wasn't breaking into that team without injuries / looking like Rio Ferdinand in training.

So good they've switched him to the right because he was getting battered by Alebiosu.

He's learning - defender on the floor, no need to come in and try to overplay it. Crash it into Row Z and let everyone reset.

Pratt fell asleep there - Devine should never be allowed to volley that.

He's my favourite player of this Venky's era. I'd like him to stay until the wheels fall off (which at 30 is probably 3-4 years away).

It's actually a really good finish. Commentator downplayed it.

See that there - Miller comes back and helps McLoughlin dispossess Jebbison (or whatever he's called). Dinks the ball over the tackle and the PNE player comes in and blocks him from the front - two hands to the chest. Ref just waves play on. Then they've just gone through the back of Tronstad and another lad did a scissor tackle for this FK to actually be awarded. It's crazy what they're not calling. It's rugby.

This Small lad has had a torrid time against Alebiosu.

Forshaw for Montgomery. Gueye for Gudjohnsen.

Or a yard of pace.

Same as the Derby game (although not quite as bad) - push, pull, grabbing shirts. Refs just don't seem fussed by any of it.

Was that another delicious ball in from Morishita? Bad touches by both our CFs tonight.

I don't think he's hyped by any of the coaches - we'd never heard of him as fans until last year. I think they're just desperate for another Academy player to come through / smarting from Wharton's success so they've pinned their hopes on him. He's no better than Duru, Powell, Pratt in terms of being a fringe player that probably needs a chance, but most likely aren't going to make it at this level.

Exactly - I'm talking about the unit, not individual performances. As a 3 they've not done enough.
