We water the pitch at home before and at half time- I'm sure they're not arsed by it.

Well, if you'd waited they then started watering just the other half. So not shithousery after all.

Ah. Good. Missus tells me I'm a shit gardener

Sky needs to up their game

Thinking of sticking dodgy on

[Lostock Whites]

As a side note, I know it's only the first game of the new season, but I really don't rate Toal's distribution, always over hits it.

I thought I'd give him the benefit of the doubt most of last season as he was on the left on his weaker foot, but appears to be continuing.

We know they are pressing, there's been lots of opportunities in behind but we've only hit it accurately a couple of times.

Basically from what I've seen, the difference is that we have actual wingers now and press as a 3, they tuck inside a bit

That how I see it that’s why orient have been hitting diagonal balls not because of the Sun but because there is space behind would of been the tactic all week

They've proper done a job on Sheehan. It's going to be a common occurance.

Dodgy gets the SKY signal anyway doesn't it?

[Winchester White]

I'm on dodge and the sound is fine?

[Winchester White]

Picture quality is shite though 😁

[Wanderlust]

Kelman beats Iredale again. Looking a liability today.

It is. 

We are going to have come up with a means to overcome it.

Presumably that's why we've bought a number in.

Yes I think that's where Iredale is better - long passing.  That one to Collins was quality and Toal doesn't have that in his locker.  Good player but I agree he does over hit it a lot.

The comment yesterday that we should build the team around Sheehan - we shouldn't build a team around anyone, they are all Div 3 players and just have a role.  He's off his game again today, as he was in all 3 play off matches.  Nothing against him at all, but he's just another player in our squad, no more or less important.

[Wanderlust]

Bounced awkwardly for Collins TBF

[gonzo]

It's a good job Toal has Santos for a fall guy. 

Gets away with absolute murder.

Who is this Shabby Shaun Mcginlay keeps referring too? 

[Wanderlust]

Arfield was great.

[MancWanderer]

Baxter had made some very good saves 

[Zico]

Baxter MOTM for us so far 

[L/H White]

I'll be happy with a draw here 

Second best

He's had to. We're getting murdered down our left and the marking from corners and FKs has been dubious.

I'm equally concerned we've not been making their goalie work anywhere near as hard.

[CumbrianWhite]

We’ve just not quite clicked. Midfield haven’t been able to get on the ball. Early days at least. 

[Tonge moor green jacket]

Two midfielders now.

Brave move.

[Wanderlust]

Fucking hell Dion?????
