bloody hell sturrock
bloody hell peacock
bloody hell kanyuuuuuuuka

come off your line please brez

otherwise we were ok...ish

[lambourn red]

Oh ok, thought it was radio, just it's confusing with those of us with nowt bar this.

At one point Merson said cox has gone off with a Shoulder injury and Pook had come on for him.

[adje]

Corr's dislocated the old shoulder

[Scot Munroe]

Corr i don't know weather to feel sorry for him.

[adje]

Was Paynter injured in last night's game-or just not selected?

[adje]

Corr i don't know weather to feel sorry for him.

why wouldn't you?

[Scot Munroe]

probably not selected.

[Bennett]

i thought he was pretty good today, until he did his shoulder again.

paynter needed games apparently...

[Scot Munroe]

I do not want to see Kanukya play at CB ever again.

[suttonred]

Got to feel sorry for Corr, he's a good player, or would be if he didn't have a dodgy shoulder, it has to have affected him, and he didn't choose to have it.

[Luci]

Cox' attitude sucks.  Having a tantrum when Smithy took the pen.  If he cant be a team player he can fuck off, little brat. Took Easton and Timlin to talk to him and didn't celebrate the goal.

My patience is wearing thin.

[Bennett]

i'd say that as a back five (bar some last ditch saves from brez) we're looking pathetic in defence is paramount instead of cox being a bender, he's going to be a bender to other teams. things will click for the poor bugger...he just needs to try and place it for once

[Nemo]

We were okay apart from at shooting and defending. Wilson has a job on his hands.

Their number 7- Pilkington was the best player on the pitch by a mile, outstanding today.

Corr injured again seemed sadly inevitable, I think his career's got to winding down now because no other club will take him on with his record. A shame as on his day he's up there with the best strikers at the club.

Yeah-that's not good.He's done his job in getting the pen,why sulk about it?

[DV]

I said it was make or break - make, just about

Overall the performance was alot better. We looked more solid and worked better as a unit in defence. Ifil successfull passed the ball short, on the floor at least 7 [SEVEN] times**

Kanyuka looked good one minute and like a donkey the next, I swear he's high when he plays. Timlin was awful and getting booked so early on played on his mind. I suppose if you had to point the finger for the goal he would have been at him but they at least had to work for their goal and their number 7 Anthony Pilkington looked pretty decent.

Midfield did alright, nothing expectional, nothing piss poor at least Easton looked a bit more like the Craig Easton of last season.

Striker, Cox touch has gone, better control and he could have had a few. Corr was playing well so it was only a matter of time. As a person I feel sorry for him because he wants to play from an STFC point of he's basically getting paid got dislocating his shoulder!!! In hindsight a huge waste of wages that would be better spent on a player who is fit!!

Stockport were a half decent side and to be honest one of the better ones I've seen this season. So much better that the fucking dross served up by Brighton, Yeovil and Carlisle.

Their goalkeeper made at least 4 top top saves and basically earnt them their point, although axs said he gave away the penalty but I didnt see it at all as I was watching the flight of the ball.

On another day we would have won that comfortable, few positives, few negatives out of that

Brezovan was catching everything, Ifil was passing it, Easton was better, Cox didnt spend any time rolling around on the floor and moaning at the ref. Better movement from throw in. Not stupid fucking awful ghey ass little forwards, backwards, forward irish jig from corners.

If this was two months ago I would have been really happy with that performances and point but we're at the stage where points arent good enough.

I thought/hoped we would have gone for it a little bit more at 1-1, the bench look awful tonight. Smith, Nalis, Pook, Amankwaah and Sturrock. Surprised me because apart from Sturrock there were no other attacking players. I thought Paynter would have at least made the bench today, even more so with Corrs injury record.

How good this draw is depends on what we put on top of it, lose or draw next week and the point doesnt look that good put a win against Huddersfield next to it and it'll be ok

I know in the pub before hand I wasnt really feeling positive but all those cries of pesimism are again completely un-true as DV scores another spot on prediction in the league!


** it was actually 7 [SEVEN] no lie!!!!!
