Does anyone else find BBC Sussex commentary the aural equivalent of having your teeth yanked out via a closing door and a finite length of string? Got no idea what's actually going on at any point. Not sure they're familiar with adjectives. Basic things like not actually saying what happened to the player who elbowed Dunk. Calling Aspinall a striker. It almost makes me miss Tony Millard. The CBBC bloke who messed up the athletics anchorman role would be a safer bet, at least he'd be entertaining

It keeps things surprising for the highlights.

I'm sure the commentator just announced the League One score as Hartlepool nil Preston North End...and then didn't actually finish the score. They're actually incapable of telling us words written down on a bit of paper, how are they going to describe a live game? Makes me glad I skipped broadcast training when I was a trainee. Grumble grumble

I thought the 2nd half had kicked off and we were now 2-0 up :rant:

Yep, only struck me recently just how un-descriptive he is of the action on the pitch. Must only spend about 10% of the coverage telling us who has the ball and where he is on the pitch. Far too much needless waffling. Get to the point, Cantor.

HT 0-1

I expect Derby (like Sunderland) think they can win this. What would be best for us if they take off a midfielder and put another striker on. Then they would hoof it even more, but with Wardy on the left they are possibly more dangerous on breakaways. An extra player in midfield would neutralise Derby ??? But then if they score we would need an extra striker ???

So I think we will stay as we are and see how long it takes Derby to bring on the substitutes. The first five minutes of the second half could be a little worrying (in view what has happened before).
