    David Rock, from Hertfordshire, has sent off three players in his last five games, hope he takes the pitch conditions into consideration before he starts dishing out cards.

    Well if it's off again because of a waterlogged pitch, we can always bring on our sub!

    Boom! Boom!

    Warming up with a small microbrewery (Kent) beer, No Frills Joe Dreamland IPA 4.5%.

    Then it's St Austell Proper Job (5.5%) during the match.

    Hard to see this game finishing unless the snow stops soon.
    Wearing white wasn't a stroke of genius, was it?

    Taking the players off for 15mins really isn't going to make things better. They should either just be playing on or calling it off

    Hindsight.
    Why did the game start with a white ball?
    Why did we wear that stupid kit with white numbers on?
    Why did Scunthorpe choose white lining?
    They knew the snow was coming absolute amateurs including the deluded referee.

    I'd just make clear that they have the job till the summer, and a final decision will be made then. The uncertainty isn't any good. but neither is there a need to make a decision when we have time on our side for once. T&S have done great over a very short period of time. But they wouldn't be the first management team to make a sudden, short impact after taking the reigns only for it to be a false dawn. They have very, very little management experience in the professional game. That in itself isn't something that should be used to write them off, but its reasonable to want to judge them over a longer and fuller test. Not least, to see how they manage under the sort of pressure they'd face next season and whether they can manage a bigger, better squad rather than being limited to polishing turds and sending out a team that's just hard to beat.

    Meredith was a more attacking full back, however my recollection was that Darby was very defensive and rarely crossed the midway line. I maybe wrong, but I recall very few assist/crosses. He was very good at what he did, but was not a wing back sort of defender.

    After reading Truemans comments about not losing games and happy with a draw I suspect that is his true mindset which means little change to the 4-5-1 formation we really play ( listed as 4-2-3-1 ) With that in mind I suspect we will be lucky to get anything unless we get more ambitious and change to 2 up top, To have two goalscorers and only play one at a time is criminal, Most clubs would bite our hands off to have them together

    In the press interview today conor sellars said "we created decent chances" against Oldham,I know he is only young at the job but stop the bullsh!t - please.

    Just like last week with Truman after the match with him making out that the wind was the main culprit to our defeat.(Radio leeds interview)

    Charlie Wyke would run him close.

    I don’t mind if he never smiles again provided he scores goals.

    Commented his lack of enthusiasm after scoring when I posted the video clip of his 30+ games for AFC Fylde, I don't understand any footballer not getting excited after scoring a goal, maybe he's just a player who doesn't think doing his job (sticking the ball in the net) is such a big deal.
