Yeah I've seen that now, hopefully it's a "he's good to start" and not just "he can be involved" It’s an impact injury a week ago. If he’s involved then he’s starting. my phone just changes it to that and i cba changing it whenever i type his name

Enjoyed the view from the Danny Bergara for a change. Haven't sat in there for a few seasons. I'm seeing a lot of moaning about UT3 again. Didn't notice any difference between before and after the drum was taken away from that stand. Also, as an aside, just read that the lad that organised the fan marches (not Dave, the pyro ones) and had controversial views on Mo Farah has picked up a stadium ban for a few years. Anyone any idea what's gone on there? Have read about that too and wondered what had gone on in UT3. I was sat in UT2 and didn’t notice anything different to usual though wasn’t paying much attention. What has gone on?

I think Challinor has got this one wrong I’m afraid. We’re light on numbers, I get that, but what’s the worst that can happen if we play a few of the better players we do have available? We might lose at Blackpool? So what? There’s a decent chance we’ll lose at Blackpool anyway. Likewise there’s a decent chance we’ll win at Blackpool anyway. I think we’ll give League One a really good crack this season. I actually think we’ll make the playoffs. But I don’t for a minute seriously think we are going to be promoted. Nor should we, these things take time. Should’ve taken this game more seriously for me. We've 12 matches before October and hardly any fit players 100% right decision tonight for a game that wins f*ck all prize money, got to get off good start in league ensure we aren't teetering at wrong end of table that's priority it's a stacked league we have to get early points on the board The prize money. f*ck me. Imagine that mattering.

Imagine that mattering. Lets have a think of how it could've worked out... we play a full strength (of what we have) team...MAYBE get something against a good championship play off hopeful team, pick up 2 more injuries that are out for a few weeks...get smashed at Blackpool away in front of 4,000 travelling fans because we've got kids out there and then struggle for a few weeks after that till we are getting players back It's not mine or your jobs on the line in that situation is it, I'm not saying DC would be gone in that scenario but we've seen stranger things

I thought Cina was invisible in the second half... Because you can't see him.

I,d guess every other manager in div.1 would have played a similar team as we did giving the injury situation. We might have got away with it if we had played somebody like accrington but that was never going to be the case against blackburns side. Fans had a good idea what type of side we were going to put out but going and giving the manager grief afterwards isn,t on. Would we have beaten them anyway if he had played the same starting 11 that beat a woeful cambridge. No one knows but i doubt it. Even if we had we,d have gone out eventually with only the extra sponsorship money to look at.

Those days are a once in a generation thing for all lower division sides who get the odd shock result over time but rarely have regular cup runs like that.

Just listened to this and it's surprisingly tough, but fair, from DC. Praise for the young lads but also plenty of constructive criticism, in particular for Okeke and his marking from corners as well as the team for defending corners/tracking runners. He really is a serial winner who will always demand more. Very much that they've had an unexpected opportunity and it's up to them what they take from it. He always puts in a nugget, like communication being a dying art. Then he's just reminded me he was also a no nonsense CB who can be pragmatic - basically saying that whilst we couldn't compete with them on a ball, maybe we should have tried to match the physicality and put a few more on their backsides. Last night was the first time I’ve seen Okeke. There’s a danger of reading too much into a game against very good opposition in a team of kids and I think he’s got the makings of a good player, but I’m now definitely in the “needs a season-long loan with regular games in NL” camp, rather than “could cover for us for a few months until Knoyle is back” one. He’s athletic and positive, but in addition to the defensive elements flagged by DC he needs to improve at picking and choosing when to stretch play high up the pitch and when to drop back. All for positivity, and it’s needed in a wing back role, but being canny about when to bomb on will be key in League One, especially if he ever has to play full back. The other thing I noticed was extremely minor, but hopefully correctable too. He does a little jump/hop before he runs. The only player I’ve noticed do this before was Pogba. Like him, Okeke is big, rangy lad who looks like he naturally rests his weight back on his heels more than most footballers. I think that might be what leads to it. It means he has to wait until he’s landed from the hop to properly start running. It’s not an issue when he’s running down the wing, as his athleticism over a decent distance more than makes up for it, but it risks losing him half a second in defensive duels, when he’s quickly got to shift sideways or backwards. Again, not a big thing and not sure if it’s something that can (or even should) be corrected or if it’s innate, but something I noticed.

This was the point I made on a previous thread after seeing him at Pinatar, there might be a player in there somewhere but he's nowhere near L1 level atm and if he plays in a league game we'd very much be carrying him - you could see that from other players reactions in that Derby friendly, we were sat right near his position A good loan out to non-league to get used to mens footy for a season will do him no harm
