Looks like there is little or no interest in this game.
I am in the little interest camp.
I am not going to spend £10 for something which has little meaning.
I hope that our “important” players – Doyle, Sarcevic, Santos, Delaney do not play but that we can somehow avoid being fined.
I assume the likes of Senior, Greenidge, Miller, Isgrove will play so at least we should get some match practice into them.
I expect to lose but, really, it does not matter.
Roll on Stevenage on Saturday which definitely matters.

yep. certainly not paying for it. might listen if can find commentary, but I would doubt anyone would cover it.
can't be bothered learning all the rules about who might be allowed to play in this one. just hope like David above, we rest the key players & give as many of the fringe ones a run-out... Hickman, Taft, Greenidge etc. would have been nice to see Alexander in goal, but think it'll be Crellin.

I think I get the I-follow commentary for free as part of my 'foreign' season ticket. If so, no report from me if all I have to go on is the hopeless commentator. With video, one can ignore him, but as a radio commentary it's useless. I never thought I'd say this, but I quite miss that sniffing, grunting chap we had before!

"Lo de Crellin y la defensa es desastroso"
Ha, thanks for the video links. I have no idea what this means but think it sums up the season perfectly. I think I can work it out.

blimey 3-2 to us now. 2nd scored by Gnahoua. been searching for vid of that goal...with no luck.
3rd goal by Mascoll.
god knows how, at one point, shots on target count was 5-1 to them.

On the off chance anyone is interested I bit the bullet, stumped up £10 and watched. The game began poorly. Crellin rolled the ball straight to Comley about 10yds out of the D. He tunred backwards, was dispossessed and the wide player ran through and fired past Crellin on his near post, beating him too easily.
Comley and White kept showing for the ball and both battled in possession but their passing was a horror show, negative and at times square. We almost gave a 2nd away. And then we did. A long crossfield ball eluded Greenidge for some reason on the left- their right wing, Crellin swanned out into no man's land and could only watch when a sublime bit of skill from a good opponent flipped the ball on the volley and over him.
Meanwhile Darcy was doing his best if a little weakly but Gordon ahead of Mascoll offered nothing, all too often checking back. Miller hardly touched the ball and with one up front we threatened nothing except from the occasional corner. That said Isgrove has a good bit of skill and he was quietly influential. One cross landed at Hickman's feet but he shot wide when he should have hit the target. Hickman generally was very lightweight and after his first good cross hit some shockers. However when just before half time another Isgrove cross made its way over to him he made no mistake from nearer 1-2
It was a half that the older, stronger BWFC team should have dominated but we didn't.
In the second Mascoll and Gordon were swapped. This greatly helped Gordon who made a decent fist of left back, but Mascoll was very disappointing ahead of him. The hapless White was hooked and Darcy played deeper with Gnahoua upfront. Much better. Darcy began to rake some long passes forward with purpose and we began to make progress on the left. From one Darcy pass we forced a corner and came close. Then we pushed forward and won a free kick on the left a few yards out of the penalty area. Isgrove's free kick was near perfect. All sort s of chaos ensued and Gnahouah stabbed the ball in 2-2
Then a routine through ball embarrassed Greenidge and the opponent, Toure, waltzed through, took the ball round Crellin and with Greenidge falling on the line managed to hit the side net from about three yards with the goal gaping. Staggering.
There were some good points in what remained. best of all was Thomasson. Strong, positive, forceful he changed the entire ambience and tempo for the twenty minutes he was on. We forced another corner. Their keeper floundered, Greenidge won it at the far , it hit the post, bounced back, Darcy swung and missed, then Mascoll half hit a left foot shot and it went in.. The game played out
At the back I thought Taft was steady if a bit slow positionally and both Taft and Greenidge had moments bringing the ball forward
Players who advanced claims to be part of the first team squad or team were
Taft, Gordon at left back, Darcy, Gnaouha, Isgrove, Thomasson
Players who did not were
Greenidge, Mascoll, White, Comley, Hickman, Miller
Crellin given another chance was just awful throughout. At fault in my opinion on both goals, he had two horrendous flaps at crosses, once trying to punch and missing. His kicking was awful. He kept giving the ball to White and Comley under pressure and right at the end he mistrapped a slow backpass and hearts fell as the forward all but got to him
If marks are helpful, based on quality of contribution rather than quantity of time on field it would go something like this
Crellin 0 , Greenidge 4 Taft 6 Gordon 6 ( second half, 0 first) White 4 Comley 2 Isgrove 6 Miller 2 Darcy 6 Mascoll 3 Hickman 3 Gnaouha 6 Thomasson 8 ( if you haven't seen him, from what I saw tonight, you will all like him!)

Recognisable, but too generous to our usual suspects. Comley and White do battle and tackle but the former is a nightmare in his own half. White not much better.
Isgrove, Darcy and Thomasson were the best on view and the most capable of stepoing up. Greenidge has a bit of something, one good block, quick moving forward, an aerial threat but limited passing ability and positional sense. Can't go back as quickly as forward.
Crellin needs to be put out of his and our misery.

you have to laugh at that first incident. Comley has a reputation now with the fans, for passing backwards. Crellin passes it out to him with 2 guys on him. WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG !! Majority blame goes to Evatt & his dogma. Greenidge and Taft didn't help out too much either. if Greenidge had reacted the second he saw Comley was in trouble, he might have stopped it, but he stays rooted. credit to the Newc player . still had a fair bit to do. and the little stop/start feign to shoot moment was clever.
for the 2nd goal. freeze it at 0.43. no pressure on the ball. ok it's not always possible. not the greatest view of the back line but it doesn't look the most organised i've ever seen. Greenidge seems out of line with the rest. he has a yard or 2 on Anderson. Anderson just takes 4 or 5 fast steps in his sprint, and he nips in front of RG. yet again, I say..so much for this amazing pace IE told us about. sublime finish by Anderson. Crellin caught high & dry. not sweeper keeping or on his line. it'd be interesting to know how many times our high offside lines have actually worked . i suspect.... it's not worked that well at all.
our 2nd goal. nice ball in from Isgrove.
1.33. Greenidge foot-race. starts level. faster than Santos, but this myth about his rapid pace shown up again.
our 3rd goal. positive role for RG here & decent take by Mascoll.
