I ended up in Bury's South stand and talking to stewards in there at half time was told that Bury fans behind the goal opposite our end had been asked to move once the problem became apparent and refused. I can't see this as anything other than a Bury FC planning cock up

He'd been feeding off scraps and probably thought he deserved a spell up front with Smith. That was my thoughts at the time, I'd have staggered the substitutions and given Barnard another 10 or 15 instead of Millar. Luckily I'm not the manager

It does, it was superb

That's why I didn't get Lance Cronin - had this Lance's face in mind

Bloody hell, I was flying until the last one - who's that?

Had to be Korey Smith for me, set the pace and kept up the momentum

That's true but I can't help thinking he normally would have let it go for a throw, he worked to keep it in and then delivered a gem

I think he was pretty good last night but we did play a few too many backpasses, particularly in the second half. I think we got a little narrow and became congested in the middle and were smothering ourselves, then when it broke down or we went back to our defence we didn't have many options, particularly from full back positions. One of LJs comments was about creating opportunities from mismatches and I think the wide players did this well, particularly Simpson's diagonal runs into the middle, but at times this also left our full backs exposed. That said, Jonathan Grounds wasn't troubled by this which highlights the difference in quality of the full backs, but I was a lot happier with Brown's performance last night. A great performance though, if not a little surreal - enjoyable and comfortable

My 7-year old always makes me buy one, there's hope

Sorry Prozac I'd missed a page when I wrote that, thanks for that in depth summary

Thanks Sly and for all those that attended, been interesting to get some direct answers to relevant questions. The answers sound promising, looking forward to tomorrow night

Yep, you can't complain about his performance today. Unless you've decided before kick off

That's sad to hear, although I can understand the reason, always enjoyed the scouting style reviews. And will never know who the recommendation to Latics was?

I'd say it was a classic case of the boy who cried wolf

A group of us from school used to watch Glossop NE in the early 90's, those were the days with Tricky Trevor Smallwood and Stevie Morgan. Never got to the Wembley game as I was working away

That's horrible, but you aren't saying you have a soft spot for them are you? My first kit was Arsenal and so i supported them for a while in primary school. No real soft spot for them now but i'll support them in the North London derby and always hope Oldham will get drawn away there in the FA Cup

This, almost exactly Bolton - my dad's team Hibs - used to live 2 mins from ground Eintracht Frankfurt - German exchange Newcastle - Uni friends

Unless it was just reality being far different than what was promised at Hull? It may be the case that if he goes in with his eyes open them he'll be happy

He looks like he's got a strong little finger!

Very true! Let's hope

I think it'll be Shrewsbury not us, big game in a couple of weeks

This for me, it just arrived from nowhere (crap December and a crap first half) and changed the mood of this season. I thought I was going to have a heart attack

He warmed up with his head set on. I think at that point I was seriously concerned. Premier League referees refereeing a Premier League team against non-Premier League opposition has to be a conflict of interest doesn't it? Even if it's subconscious

Yep I've done it
