Just back...

Time for goal line technology in the EFL perhaps? If that had been at the other end, I think we would have felt pretty hard done by. But was it fully over the line? I have no idea, but it was a heck of a clearance anyhow.

Well, an afternoon spent in traffic taking my Daughter back to Uni, nearly 5 hours from Northants to Egham and back - Royal Holloway? I graduated from there in 85!

Do you and FPVMariner share a daughter?

Yes mate, Royal Holloway.  Lovely old Uni.

My daughter looks nothing like me………. What are you saying?

Regards our goal line clearance near the end I couldn't possibly say until I watch the highlights shortly (if it's on it) but I could have sworn something rustled the net, could have been a foot though!

Fantastic performance today. First off, we didn't look like the away team; completely dominated them, winning the ball high up the pitch and moving it around really nicely.

Holohan and Morris were both outstanding in the middle of the park, and what a hit by Morris for his goal. Clifton had his best game of the season for me; full of energy, positive going forward and some lovely link up play with Richardson, Taylor and Glennon. He'll have been disappointed not to have got that second goal.

Richardson looked lively, some lovely touches. My one criticism of him was that he probably looked to take one too many touches at times rather than get the shot away, but he'll learn. Kiernan huffed and puffed but was a little wasteful in the final third, but he's got a good understanding with Efete and if those 2 can both get firing on all cylinders (I don't think either of them have so far) then that'll be a formidable partnership that a lot of league 2 defensive won't know what to do with.

Waterfall is just immense, wins absolutely everything and is a great captain. I was extremely critical in the relegation season but he's like a man re-born. Smith mostly great too but there's always 1 or 2 loose passes in every game that we've luckily not been punished for really but he needs to stamp that out of his game.

Crocombe immense again, not really any worldy saves to make but he's just so composed on crosses. His distribution is so good too, we really don't need to be playing it out from the back to league 2 defenders when he can ping it so well. Can we stop doing that please Hursty? (minor complaint). Simmonds looked a talent when he came on, based on that he might prove to be the best signing of deadline day. Love seeing a lad with the confidence to knock the ball over the defenders head and go, having only been on the pitch a minute. Did really well to set up the second Clifton chance too.

There were a couple of Newport fans previewing the game on DN35 this week and they were a little dismissive of us and really played themselves up as automatic promotion contenders. If they're automatic promotion contenders then we should be looking at the top of the table rather than over our shoulders. Bogle looked a forlorn figure for them at times, isolated and feeding on scraps. His frustration came across a couple of times and we know how much he likes a sulk! Seemed to spend almost as much time flinging himself to the ground as he did doing anything with the ball, although I was always nervous when he did get it in/around the area he doesn't look the player he was when he left us.

Onto the next one, Crewe will be a different kind of challenge to when we faced them in the cup but we certainly have nothing to fear. UTM

Watching it on TV it didn't look like it crossed the line.

Didn’t realise he was quoting you - just read like you two had remarkably similar afternoons!

I’m going to risk upsetting Golly and assume your gender.
If you are a bloke surely you should be relieved your daughter looks nothing like you ! !!  
I await red crosses from the LGBGTFCATAWUTM brigade!!
