    I agree he was excellent but I asked because the EFL policy was to avoid such eventualities? Chalk and cheese to our previous encounter with him ?

    It was really funny when Baldwin was waiting to come on. Doyle was showing Baldwin his clipboard, who looked at it and quite clearly went "WHAT????"

    Curtis Tilt worked in a quarry for 4 years whilst playing semi pro football, all i can imagine is Tilt just heading back rocks to pass the time.

    He was awful last night, like a fish out of water . That experiment should not happen ever again. I was shocked he wasn’t oiked at half time tbh.

    My wife and I found that highly amusing.

    It was said with so much aggression as well.

    He had absolutely no idea what Doyle said.

    Well, that was a right visit to Edgeley Park last night. A couple of wonderful pints of citra in the Old Vic prior to the game followed by a first half performance (that I have read on here as being poor to which I can understand) but it was so out of line to a GA team, devoid of intensity, a lack of movement when in possession and calmness.
    The conversation at half time was we would be better second half, as GA would shake things up and make substitutes but wow, never expected us to win the game. My hopes were to compete, press, energy and use the football but the end result, wow. A definite 3 points we didn't deserve but the game is about taking chances and that we bloody did!!!!!!!

    And top of the 3 points, a nice winner to boot.....

    I will listen to him later , but he’s copping out excuses before he’s seen all the dead ball line images and so will have County fans.

    Another poke in the eye for the famous 15 year old Seb , armchair “footballing expert”?

    I think the club maybe use in in running data to influence subs etc too?
    Now the players have those sports bras with the trackers in the back the performance analyst will be able to see how many metres covered and whose intensity has dropped etc

    Thats why sometimes GA says “we saw the data and didn’t feel the need to switch it” etc even though as fans we call for certain subs.

    Swan should start over Humph on Sat though - latter looked knackered.

    I was a bit worried to see Sarcevic limping at the end.

    Hopefully nothing too serious as he was smiling and joking about it on the way back to the dressing room.

    Washing one’s dirty linen in public is not a good look. He wouldn’t last 5 mins in any other industry talking about staff like that . Once, but twice?

    He went to the bench and didn't get treatment, guessing it was cramp rather than anything to worry about. Tbf he's a top player but he's also 33 and will turn 34 this season, at some point with the amount we are asked to press his legs are going to need a rest.

    Waits for somebody to jump in with” But Pointon didn’t score”

    He's a hard one to work out. Looks dead on his feet about 5 mins into most matches. Abysmal in the first half but then pops up with the winner.
