Things got a bit heated for a few minutes. Also had the presence of a convicted murderer

Police checked to see if he was still serving a banning order, turns out it finished at the end of last season.

One mans loss is another man's gain, or in this case woman's gain. Somebody stood next to me was very pleased they changed keepers at half time

Not really. We played some nice stuff but we have not addressed the problem of lack of firepower up front. Oh for an Andy Bishop-type player who can make and take chances - we never worked their keeper at all. Plus points for me were the new left back who looked the part, feisty and a good footballer, and Murdoch at C.H. looked very solid in a 1st half defence which did the business.. Miles looked sharp , unrecognisable as the player who left us on loan - "who is the new no. 7", said my neighbour! Ryan(?) showed some good touches when he came on but gave the ball away too often.Massively dissapointed with Grant's performance today - he really has to convince me that he has what it takes, and Proccy was completely out of his depth today. I also thought Kenny should have done better with the 2 free-kicks, although the wall didn't do it's job for the 1st - it wasn't exactly a top corner job.
Like TM, I'm very, very worried by our complete lack of striking ability up front.

Yes, Dave, I can guess who and I can guess why!

You might want to watch this with no sound

To finish my moan I couldn't get a beer or a burger at half time because the *3100*

had the lot before I got there.

I'm seriously not moaning here, just expressing a genuine concern.

We will concede goals aplenty next season, because that's what we do. However, I honestly can't see where the goals are going to come from. Mullin might get 9 or 10 if we're lucky, but where are the others coming from? Craney will chip in with a couple maybe, but if we don't find a winger and a striker (or two), we're in serious trouble.

You thought last season was dull and depressing at home? Just wait for this one!!

We should remember there is a big gulf between League 2 and the Championship.

Sheffield Wednesday finished 16th there last season but won 4-1 at MK Dons in midweek and 2-0 at Bury (Andy Bishop and all) today.

Maybe but there was some good results today from League 2 clubs, be honest if we had been playing Barrow today we wouldn't have scored.
