Regardless of what the player himself says, the fact he threw up shows he's not fit for purpose. A good opportunity to get Hutchinson on the pitch without being criticised. If he plays well - great. If he plays badly - his inclusion is easily justified by Murray's sickness. A missed opportunity meth...

I'd change the results for a start.

We need a right back, a left back and two central midfielders.

I wouldn't change DP but he's not the finished article yet.

We'll have to disagree on this one, I'm certainly not suggesting Burnell had a great game, I thought he did ok. Murray had a poor game and IMHO Burnell was the better of the two last night. i also thought burnell played well, often linking up the play to keep the forward momentum going (when we had...

For me the main problem was the centre of midfield. Murray and Burnell put in their fair share of tackles but distribution forwards was non-existent. Hence the back four resorting to hopeful hoofing (which Yemi and Reid chased valiantly all night). Despite my pre-match criticism of playing Yemi up f...

We're second bottom of the Conference and you're worried about socks!

The crucial points from the Barrow game for me were: Just prior to the sending off Clarke was fouled and was obviously annoyed by it. The sending off was for a retaliation tackle. He's still young so the captain should be looking out for things like that and having a quiet word. Yemi was played out ...

Barrow 0 Ocannon 2 (Constable, Haldane) Attendance 1,900. Away crowd 400.

Unexpected event: The referee and linesmen show a marked improvement on any officials seen last season. (Or is that just too unbelievable?)

So do the performances from the likes of Haldane, Guy, Constable, Hinchliffe and the difference they have made to the team still leave you entirely disenchanted? I completely understand you are in no position to see these performances first hand but you must be taking some notice of this and other ...

Hello Peña,

What are the criteria for you dispensing with your 'entirely disenchanted' footnote? Are we close?

Enjoyed the game last night and agree with most of the above, but (how did you know there was a but coming) I was a bit concerned with Carruthers. He looked good going forward but left too much space for the wide players when defending. He seemed to get sucked into a central defender type position a...

Sam Deering. Put me down for a tenner.

Some of the recent players (perm any 8 from 11) have been so immobile they could have taken root!
