Arrived here around 18 20 I'll pop a few observations on during the game.
Interesting formation tonight.

 

[Ricey]

Interesting line up, quite surprised he has gone with Wright again and dropped Cox.

 

[RHB]

Coxy on the bench........carrying an injury? It will be interesting to see how we cope with that formation. Pitch looks good.

He is not starting, he is on the bench. :winking:

 

[Ricey]

He is not starting, he is on the bench. :winking:

Well your picture is wrong then because I can see his face in the starting line up.

Team news: Two changes for Blues at Rochdale

More...

 

[Maldon Shrimper]

He is not starting, he is on the bench. :winking:

Look again

Opps, was looking at the wrong player. :dizzy:

 

[Massimo Giovanni]

I'll say it "where are the goals coming from?"

done, guarantee 3 nil win for us now.:happy:

 

[turkishm]

Who once again, is going to sit in front off the back four, with Timlin out. I dont see anybody in that midfield putting a tackle in,

 

[Pak Power]

completely agree, where is a 'ball winner'

 

[jarvisyeh]

Why have they photoshopped Cokers face on to Demi’s body? Look at the neck and the creases in shirt, identical.

Am unsure on the formation, always felt like whenever we deviated from 4-4-2 we ended up playing poorly under Brown. Hopefully different story with Powell tactics. Glad Wright is with us for another season, with the right players around him he could be alright, the balance to this team doesn’t seem to do him any favours!

I think you'll find Yearwood is pretty good at putting a tackle in!!

 

[Cricko]

It's a late game...the radiogram is tuned in via my crystal server...I have told the missus to kick me if I fall asleep...

We havr two players only just come back from a long layoff, who are not noted for there work rate, and thats our central midfield, sorry i dont get it, away from home as well.
