He does all that tireless stuff but does he really hold it up? He certainly occupies the defenders but there isn’t a lot of link up play.

I take exception to your comment about Grimshaw, did you see Dunne’s pass?

Hastie may have to rest up after getting his face smashed on Wednesday, Ariyibi was also spent when he went off, there may be reasons to make changes but not too many please.

Roasterwood?

Keeping the same team seems obvious but surely the managers job is to look at the opposition and decide what changes he needs to make to his line up to overcome that team. Of course the answer may be none.

If we accept that Dunne cannot pick out a pass (good at other things) why do we consistently funnel the ball to him. That's the next wrinkle to be ironed out.

Fair comment

What do you think, bin him or benefit of the doubt? Or wait til Saturday or the next defeat?

Normally a performance like that from Grimshaw would get my vote but I thought Gorrin gave us something different.

3 degrees tonight, 8 better than my journey to work, almost balmy, a great night in prospect under the lights. Will review the situation at 8 o'clock.

I think that this year’s quarter final exit in the league cup was a ‘reasonable’ run rather than seeing it as an early exit.

I will be happy if Scott gets 15 minutes tomorrow then 20 minutes on Saturday, if he shows up we’ll get him in the team from the start. If we throw him straight in and it doesn’t work it will be career over in some folk’s eyes.

Enjoyed that

Went to see Stirling Albion, Darren Smith was replaced by Dylan Mackin, the big guy nodded it down for the winner and showed a few slick moves and rattled the bar from 18 yards. The young loanee McLaughlin came on for the last few minutes.

Mark O’Brien came on for Newport in their victory over Lichester

With Mbulu presumably out this may signify another defender coming in.

A windy day on a plastic pitch, can’t wait.

No, he can't re-register until the window opens

If you pay to get in then you get a ticket issued surely

I think it was ball to face but I had a partial detachment in 1999 and have been advised not to header the ball since.

Perhaps just a bit more balanced than yourself

Martyn Corrigan, no.2

If that is a detached retina for Mbulu it could be a career ender. Medical recommendation would be not to head the ball. Wouldn’t have been an issue if it was one of our strikers.

It wasn't good but the game had something about it, slightly more interesting than recent games, maybe building to something on Saturday? Let's hope.

He needs to show for it then move things forward, not play it back to the full back
