This keeper is a bit shit.

Not on the Jason Steele scale of shitness but shit all the same.

Good job he's SOOO much better than Pears..........

 

[Bethnal]

3-4-3 for the second half, maybe. Wouldn’t change anyone just yet (what are the options?) but at a push, Ennis for Moran and a narrower focus up top. Play a bit more direct than usually and run off Ennis to try and break through a high line.

He's a Man City loanee I think. Was at Burnley last year.

Have a feeling Enis on at half was always the plan. Sit back for 45 then put our striker who’s only fit for 1/2 a match on. Almost worked if we could have kept it 0-0 for 5 more min 

[tomphil]

That was awfully weak defending and goalkeeping yet again there, not good enough at any level it's all basic stuff.

This side is still so piss weak where it matters and age isn't an excuse.

[neophox]

Great save from Wahlstedt!

Cheering me up is the Southampton commentary.

We've had Hill called Callum Brittain for 30 minutes.

Andrew Moran called John Moran.

And finally, we've just been called Bristol Rovers.

I'm sure it's an AI bot.

They're also talking about us like they're the ones that have won the Premier League. 

[booth]

Good save from Leopold.

Might be wrong but are you mixing him up with Trafford.  Bazunu is ex city but thought he was at this lot last year after a good spell at I want to say Pompey or Rochdale .  Burnley have Trafford also ex city but did well at Bolton

Rest him then. Play Travis or Garrett. Even Gilsenan. 

I like the lad but completely agree.
 

 

Yep, my big complaint with JDT - doesn't use his subs enough. 

Has to try Ennis / Leonard / Garrett / Travis / Gilsenan.

[ItsRoverZ]

Nice of us to come out for the second half and change nothing and expect different results 

[Exiled_Rover]

We're getting absolutely nothing from this ref. Again.

[Bethnal]

Ref is embarrassing himself. His bosses must already be writing the apology letter. Can we trade them for points at the end of the season?

[booth]

Two consecutive fouls, referee looking right at both of them, nothing.

These Southend commentators don't have a clue.  They must not have the internet in Northampton

Has there ever been a game when you didn't blame the referee?

[neophox]

Shot from Moran good save.

[B16Rover]

Would be half tempted to say sodd it and get Garratt and Gilensen on at 60

[Reginald]

Moran is occasionally useful going forward, but he's so lightweight defensively I'm not sure we can afford to carry him in games where we set up like this

Is he wrong, though?

[Bethnal]

Brittain sent off for kicking the ball away. Madness. Drop him til the new year.
