Where’s the linesman when you need them? Should have been dead level with that.

West Stand lino has been awful

 

[Suomi Shrimper]

Doesn't matter though does it. If he doesn't challenge a bloke not in charge of the ball heading towards the corner flag then there's no danger.
Perhaps the ref gave it for sheer stupidity rather than the challenge.

Stupidity is a bit harsh, no? He's running full pelt after the ball and clips his man rather than pull at him or kick out at him.

Would we prefer it if he maintained a 2 metre distance?

Live table has us 13th at HT. get back in front and we break into the top ten.

Let's hope for a positive half. need more composure on the balls into the box and we do have the players to finish them off.

Crowther having a good game in the middle of the defence.

No winning team at half time has more than a 1 goal lead, apart from Pools at Woking.

Not showing he is the player of last season.

As I keep saying. The catering in East Stand is horrible.
Was the pie hot?

Just bought a steak and kidney pie in the west stand kiosk (can’t go too far wrong with that I thought) just before the ref blew the half time whistle.

The girl took my money, all good so far and then… no forks. No cutlery of any kind. They’ve run out - and the half time trade hasn’t even started! Seriously?

As you say......no

Also you are accusing Bridge of being at "full pelt". Again as you said......no.

Still think it was a stupid challenge. Matter of opinion if you think it was a good one.

Go full Jason Biggs on it.

Very hot, the bit I got in my gob and not all over myself was anyway.

Bridge seems to be on his heels the whole time. Passes from Moncur and Crowther went out as they expect him to be on the move. Also not seeming to back himself to go outside a man. I wonder if Wind on with Gus switching is worth a try part way through the half.

The other worry with Coker going is that I assume Moncur and Noor likely to be planned to go off but we’re running out of Midfielders. Maybe Faulkner will get some minutes

 

[yogi bear up the cagire]

Don't really agree with the commentator's assessment that 1-1 is a fair reflection of play. Apart from the penalty, have Daggers had a shot.....even one on target? We had plenty of chances to extend our lead and couldn't profit from any of them. Coker having to go off certainly hasn''t helped the cause. How long will Husin/Moncur last in the second-half ?

 

[Harry Bullocks]

Wake up Shrimpers !!!

 

[Rob Noxious]

Jesus, Bridge’s lack of movement is painful at times. He’s literally glued to that position.

Did they bring a cuppa out for him during HT?

 

[ColinMorrisWalksOnWater]

Noor might not last the full 90, but nothing to do with tiredness imo!

 

[ColinMorrisWalksOnWater]

We are still in the changing rooms!

 

[ColinMorrisWalksOnWater]

And another golden opportunity created and spurned!

 

[ColinMorrisWalksOnWater]

Bridge puts us back under the cosh. Straight to a yellow shirt FFS!

Good movement from Wood inside the left channel.

 

[Holy Joe]

Miley gone down?

 

[ColinMorrisWalksOnWater]

Barnet 3-1 down, as are Aldershot.
