Why bring Widdowson on when you have a proper centre half on the bench?
Defies belief

Brophy, Dayton and Dennis in the same lineup with the formation we play could be tasty or suicidal. I fear the latter.
Hmm

Yes, it's really irritating . Why bring Akinola to the club than play Widdowson at CB . Square pegs into round holes again and we've already seen that this doesn't work .

This is dire. We haven’t put two passes together all half.
Ling has adopted anew defensive tactic. Instead of standing 15-20 yards away from the left winger, he is now getting about 5 yards away but then maintains that gap as he retreats as his opponent advances. It’s actually worse than the old policy.
Nice that Barrow have allowed fans in

Glorius day here in Cork -- COYO's
Lucky you Corky, even darker in deepest, darkest Suffolk today and a howling cold wind off the North Sea.
Whereabouts are you EN? We’re just North of Woodbridge
East of you and its now pissing down and I'm sure I just heard thunder.

Vigaro made a cracking save from the free kick after Happe was sent off and has kicked well despite the atrocious conditions.
But that’s it.

Was initially watching with the sound off and I thought it was a yellow for Happe. One of those 50/50 red yellow ones. Probably a tad harsh. Johnson is working hard and having a good game. The rest, meh.

Let's still be positive, according to BBC stats, we've had 2 shots on goal of which 1 was on target. There have been occasions where both stats have been nil at half-time.

Why bother bringing in a CB on loan when we can play a full back out of position
