Lets pray we can appeal that one and get him back

Yeas that's what I was thinking.

So David and who as full backs on Sat?

 

[fleet]

Hope we don't blow this one now - should have taken more of those chances (not just the Barnes ones)

 

[HastingsSeagull]

So David and who as full backs on Sat?

Upson? El-Abd in at CB? Not convinced but depends who Upson would be up against really

Referee goes for the red card , 50/50 challenge with both players going down injured and no malicious intent. Debut for Maksimenko on Saturday.

If you trust the player commentary team- this was not a red. sounds like 50-50. Would like to see it before judging. But we need some luck.

 

[fleet]

The extent to which I don't care about the Crawley score is vast

 

[Driver8]

Let's hope we can appeal the red card.

Nathan Jones to do a Tanno?

 

[kevtherev]

Jesus, Nigel Clough will be rubbing his hands together with glee. I wonder where he will tell his team to get at us on Saturday.....Maybe we should go three at the back, five across the middle and two up front Saturday

Couldn't make it tonight listening on BBC R Wales on Sky.
Sounds like 50/50 ball Albion wouldn't be complaining as much as they are if it wasn't I don't think !!
Can't say though not there

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

Lua Lua off , Maksimenko on

 

[chucky1973]

I was a good left back

 

[fleet]

KLL no big loss on the sound of what we have had so far - he needs to up his game

 

[HastingsSeagull]

Interesting to see who sits infront of Maxi now LuaLua has been taken off

 

[littlehampton seagull]

Salako says on sky it was a foul on calderon these ****ing refs

 

[halbpro]

That was dubious as **** from my North Stand perch. Red for both or neither.

 

[Ernest]

Salako says the Newport player came in late on Indigo

 

[LamieRobertson]

Salako said the newport guy was coming in hard and calderon was trying to get out of it....reckons the guy has broken his leg

 

[Farehamseagull]

Not being wise after the event but I have been amazed all night that Calderon started instead of Maxi. With our lack of full back options it was always going to be a massive risk playing Calde. Surely it was more important to rest him than Upson?

Would have been a chance to test Maxi against league opposition also and see if he's up to it.
