No-one's really mentioned this, but part of the absence of chances relates to Burgess apparently disappearing as a creative or incisive force. He still does some really good things (although I'm struggling to remember any from last Saturday) but he isn't the influence he was early on. And I don't th...

Eddie was my man of the match yesterday. As a card carrying Slow Eddie critic, I agree he did much better in the second half, and was very willing to make himself available, he worked hard and did some good things. Even then, his defensive positioning and awareness can be a problem (there were a nu...

An honorable mention for Hog ... given the pork analogies, that might have been appropriate ... but with 2-1, 8 corners and closest on the crowd it's Oxford James's trotter.

From a hoofed goal kick or free kick, the ball is blown backwards by the wind. Two porcine Tamworth supporters burrow throught the west stand and escape across the Minchery river.

Presumably those hogs are long since bacon sandwiches ... OK, something more minimalist for Tamworth:

1-1, Ricketts, Wilmott, 1700, 700
Slabber breaks his wrist, hand or arm in new version of the gypsy curse. A seagull lands on the pitch and sprints past Slow Eddy.

Mooney is on his last legs isn't he? Brevett is as well. Playing from memory. Not sure I wouldn't rather have Rufus on his last legs than Slow Eddy on his first. The grouse had more speed and positional sense. Agree on the good points, battling performance, with a couple of obvious exceptions. A te...

UE: Slow Eddie runs outside his marker (just the once, mind). Jim passes him running alongside in the &quottechnical area&quot.

Referee loses complete control of match amid a confetti of red and yellow cards. British army recruitment stands block all exits from the ground.

So everyone's stealing my stock 1-1 huh? Well, let's go for broke.
