Have a feeling this is going to be a bad day at the office. Has an early season type of performance feel to it

This should be confirming to Mowbray that Mulgrew isn't for sale at any price 

VERY concerned about a random injury/illness to Mulgrew just before the window opens and following the new CEO appointment.

Let’s hope we are wrong and this isn’t yet another Nelsen, Samba, Dann, Hanley.  

Mulgrew going would be extremely bad for fan and team morale alike. Just shows really how thin our squad is in terms of quality.

[Miker]

We've completely switched off since the goal. Looking dire right now. We look disjointed at the back without Mulgrew. Whittingham, Dack and Graham have been really poor today. I forgot Graham was even on for a while..

Anyone playing well?

[AAK]

Not really much he can do to change it looking at bench, Samuel for graham for something different that's about it, Wharton for Ward but he won't do that

Raya made an excellent save and that's about it, getting outfought all over the pitch

[Tom]

Not there but it sounds abysmal like we aren't even looking likely 

 

Samuel isn't on the bench AAK

He's ill. Like Samuel. The End.

Someone will walk today.

I'm only going off commentary but I'd swap Ward for Wharton at HT.

[G Somerset Rover]

TM needs to get into ‘em at half time. Need a draw minimum here. Seems like they’ve had one almighty hangover from their Dublin party - a couple have picked up illnesses and the rest playing like duffers.

Or maybe he’s in traction?

Belt up.

How do you jump to that conclusion?

Samuel is injured. 

It's amazing how many people comment here without reading what others have posted eg line ups etc

Which side of the ground is the camera angle from? I know you watch all the games so just trying to get a feel for it? You didn't answer who was playing well?

[Gogger]

Ward is just awfull. So poor in the air considering his size. I would take any bet that if Ward and Whittingham imposed as turtles and participated in an 800 meter turtle relay, they would not stand on the podium.

[AAK]

I would get Tomlinson on, as this is turning into a scrap of a game, and Tomlinson will like that kind of game, also seems to do more with the ball than whittingham. I would give Harper a go for Conway, just because Conway looks so poor.

Was getting mixed up with Nuttall 

[yellowsubmarine]

looking at the bench, i really dont see anyone who can come on and change the game, maybe only Nuttall. I still feel we have at least a goal in our side. Wharton needs to come on for Ward. We cant afford a red here.

I'm not telling you. You need to use your imagination. 

[Boroblue]

It’s like a re run of Oldham.Ward can’t play football. Whittingham can’t tackle or play an incisive pass.To use the old joke he’s barber shop short back and sideways. The only thing that could make it worse is if jack Byrne appears for them in the second half

[Blueandwhitemike]

 

In the corner of the screen when they scored Williams was on the floor and the got up pleading, another Rover, to the ref like Pierre had pushed him.

We've not been that bad going forward and created a good few chances and blocked shots, Graham and Dack have both been lively, though it's true we've not been great and we do look vulnerable at the back.

With both centre-backs on yellows now and Ward not looking great I wouldn't be surprised to see a change, and I wouldn't be surprised to see Nuttall in a little while.

It's been scrappy and they've had as many chances but we are still well in the game.

Was getting mixed up with Nuttall and apologies didn't realise there was rules in place that meant we had to read every single post on here, whilst trying to watch the game. Sorry mate

Wacist. 

You don't have to read anything,but it helps when people do as it stops repetition and pointless questions.

We need one of them 10 minute bursts that we have been famous for this season
