But he definitely meant to shoot.

ST holder on holiday in New Zealand - first I missed Anfield and now this! Would love to hear the goal commentary. If it can be made available on the fishul for all to hear, all the better!

On the bench for me. Let's not forget he's still a young lad so no need to write him off just yet. He's certainly got potential. Reminds me of Dale Stephens a little bit, who needed a loan spell at a lower club before progressing. Bit silly to suggest he should start because its "his turn" or because of who his dad is though. The selection is a no brainer - Wes and Smith.

I can't bloody believe this has happened again, though I'm delighted it has. 2 years ago I went on holiday to New Zealand and missed the 3rd round (followed it in a McDonalds on the only free wifi I could find). I loved the country so much that I'm taking another trip there and missing Anfield again! My only visit to Anfield will remain the 1996 Merlin Premier League sticker swap-shop.

They all need game time. I'm not sure what Mellor and Winchester's best positions are (let LJ worry about that) but I'd rather see Mellor at left back than Plummer, who doesn't look any better. Game time at left back, even if its not his preferred position, will be beneficial. Can loaning clubs include a "must play" clause in loan deals?

Great draw and incentive to beat Mansfield. Only United or Arsenal away would be a bigger pay day I think.

Personally, I like being able to drown my sorrows/have a celebratory drink (delete as appropriate) on a Saturday night after the game. It'd be a lot less fun on a Sunday night with work the next day.

Argh, I really wanted to go to this. My last game before flying to New Zealand for 6 weeks on the 27th. Maybe I'll just stay home and pack instead.

I might be mistaken but didn't they put this out to "consultation" a few years ago and fans didn't want to move because the Chaddy is the traditional home end? We should switch ends. The only benefit to having away fans in the RRE is that we can cash in if there's a large number of them (e.g. Liverpool). We could always revert for large cup games.

What was Schmeltz up to? I must have missed it at the time - was he winding up their players?

I also voted Philliskirk bug agree Dayton deserves a mention. He was involved in a lot of our forward play and took his goal well. Good performance.

Top performance from Philli. He's not the footballer Baxter was but if he keeps it up he could well prove to be more effective in our team at this level. Rodgers I thought he had an ok game. Certainly a tidy footballer but I didn't notice him very much in the first half. Only when we had an extra man did he have the space he needed. He reminds me of Dale Stephens a bit (though not at that level yet).

I'm pleased too - I've got a wedding this weekend so the postponement is ideal.

I don't know what some of our fans want. I honestly think they get perverse pleasure out of seeing us perform badly. There was a total moron in the main stand lower who had a go at Carl Winchester every time he got the ball and tried arguing at half time that he was having a bad game.

A quick google reveals the average cost of keeping a prisoner inside is £35-40k. So assuming he serves 8 weeks, the cost is approx £5-6k.
