This game still annoys me 46 years later we were well and truly robbed, a penalty and a free kick for too many steps by Mike Rogan. They didn’t get much further as Watford knocked them next round at O/T. Here's the thing. I always thought we were robbed too (hence the title of the video 😂), and couldn't understand Willis' decisions. I was sitting with a guy who was a ref at the time (got as far as running the line in Division 5, I think), and he couldn't either. Although he was as worked up as me, being a die-hard County fan, which may have affected his judgement... The accepted reason for the free kick against Rogan has always been that he took too many steps - the voiceover on the video also says as much. However, if you watch (1:55), Rogan actually catches the ball, drops it, rolls it out and then picks it up again. Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't that illegal? Peter Willis in Correct Decision Shocker? The penalty (2:23) remains highly dubious, however. Even with the poor quality, it's hard to see where the foul was. As bad as Burnley at Wembley. Absolute pisstake.

Home kit at Blackpool. Would have thought the 3rd kit would have worked, but I guess it will be another season of the home kit being worn whenever possible.
These images usually show players who are starting, but I'm struggling to see who we drop for Fevrier unless there's another injury. If all 3 really do start, I think it's Mingi out injured and Fevrier filling in as a RB 😬 or Fevrier as a RWB and either Camps or Collar out.
I suppose one positive is, even with all the injuries, it's really difficult to see who you drop to slot Fevrier into the team.

I think the media team would be conscious to pick players that are in the matchday squad but not sure they know the 11.

Last season, it was always just one player and I can't think of an occasion where they picked one who didn't start. Obviously, that's less likely to be the case when there's 3. It just got me thinking about how you'd fit him in really. I'd like to see him in the starting 11 if possible. There was a run he went on against Blackburn where he effortlessly glided past a number of their players. He's going to be a really special player.

I said Bate will be our most important player this season, but Fevrier looks like he has so much potential to be unbelievably good. The run & assist for Wootts was brilliant and I know the run vs Blackburn you’re talking about. You can see why he was miles ahead in the successful dribbles stats in L2! I don’t see how teams will cope with any combination of 3 from Diamond, Barry, Tanto & Fevrier.

Under Stott we have worn our home kit at pretty much every away game that we can. I’m more surprised when we choose to where one of the others than when we don’t.

There was a run he went on against Blackburn where he effortlessly glided past a number of their players. He's going to be a really special player. My guess is that we'll be unchanged if we can be with Fevrier playing 80 mins Tuesday and another with a reduced preseason. He's an exciting prospect off the bench though either to chase a game and really attack teams or give us an outlet and counter threat if we're holding on to a lead. No reason he can't displace Diamond either who looked rusty Saturday with his end product. For Mingi, I'd like to think something would have been said if he was a doubt with our injury issues. Yes it let's the opposition know but if he drops out of the squad without explanation they'll be talk of more training ground injuries. Let's just hope we're having the Fevrier conversation more often. As DC said, he wanted his first team selection to be a headache not just slotting in who is available. If we had Adaramola, MSH, Powell, Fiorini, Mellon and others we've be struggling to pick an 18!

2-1 County. Not sure why I think we even give u a goal, law of averages/on the road. Wootton and Barry again. Actually let's throw in a 3rd, Diamond makes up for his miss and notches his first for County. 4000 happy County supporters enjoy their time seaside and County stays at or near top of the table. Cheers, Jeff

We don't have the pressure from sponsors to change shirts now everything's VITA, 2-0 again for me same scorers.
