Elsewhere, a very early goal down Devon way - Plymouth Argyle 0 Blackpool 1 (1 min)

Our defence lasted 11 minutes..... 1-0 down :( :( :(

14 minutes, and we have a corner....

1st shot....1st goal.
Pathetic clearance by Chambers.

Questionable goalkeeper positioning for both goals IMO.

Thought Chambers was poor at Bristol as well to be honest. Maybe he is slowing after that quick start.

Am I right in thinking we have been behind in every game now apart from the Portsmouth game?

Harsh. Two saved penalties and he definitely won us two points against Oldham. The evidence to date has been fine for me but sounds like he has something to answer tonight

Certainly NOT a good start to our first away win of the season........................

Not looking forward to my first Belza match, against Charlton, or my local match against Wiggin away!!

Hope it's not a tonking, it would be a bit of an embarrassment, but as I've mentioned before we never seem to do well against Rovrum.

Regrettably the forecasters misread the timing of the storm, now said to be hitting us in the early hours...bugga!

So much for my "Under 2.5 goals" bet for the Saddlers' game....... :(

30 minutes, just when you think it can't get any worse ......... it's 4-0

I love Leahy going forward but he's a very weak defender unfortunately from what I've seen
