If that's the case, it's disappointing that they were. I fail to see how 10 v 10 is more knackering (or at least more knackering for us than for our opponents) than 11 v 11. We've just had a couple of weeks off.

Do our players even want to touch the ball any more? So many just seem to watch it pass them by these last few minutes.

Does it count as a counter attack if you stroll up and allow the defending team to outnumber you?

Do we have one of those?

Following on from my point about JFC and Lualua starting v newport, then the red card... Barnes scored v newport. Just saying.

We have no killer instinct. Greer heads it it goes against the cross bar and he just accepts the miss rather than putting effort in to getting the rebound, lopez lacks the finish after getting clear in the box with a wonderful touch, calderon can't put any direction on an unchallenged header...

So far this season, I think we've started every second half poorly, I wouldn't put too much emphasis on the subs for this period of play just yet.

Deliberate handling of the ball, denying goal scoring opportunity - 1 game ban Foul and abusive language (including gestures) - 2 game ban Serious foul play, violent conduct, spitting - 3 game ban As he kicked the guy while he was challenging for the ball, it will be serious foul play.

What's up with that graphic? The coloured bars for shots were tiny, representing 1 and 2 shots. Ok, that's fine it's all perspective. Then you look further down and the 5 fouls a piece are long bars, fine. That works, 5 units fill the bar and give you the size for 1 unit. But why are yellows and...

Ahem.

Told you.

I'm not going to get too excited yet. Firstly, I can see the ref evening things up (perhaps best not to put barnes on...) and the last two times we've had a man advantage this season I've been disappointed with how we have failed to use that advantage.

When I made my earlier comment about JFC falling over, I was going to mention the ref might be strong on diving because of the high profile of Young's dive yesterday...

I've noticed JFC twice. Both times he was falling over softly claiming a free kick.

JFC and Lualua both started v Newport. Just saying.

So far this season I've not gone into a game with any sense of positivity. No different today. Little bit of trepidation because its televised, and we have a poor recent record with televised league games.
