    He was outstanding, first name on the team sheet for a reason. Don’t think we watch the same game tbh

    Was Pines jittery performance brought about by how immense Earl was?

    Your point about Connell is one hundred per cent correct and missed by many.

    It is why he is selected over nwakali - it is clear who is the superior passer of the ball, but you don’t win games without doing the dirty work.

    Defenders are always someone's scapegoat.
    He makes errors of course, but plays well most of the time

    Pines for me is the weaker link.
    Don't get me.started on Cosgrove!

    We couldn't due to him just coming back from injury.

    Cosgrove is currently studying for his accountancy qualifications. Which is a good job, because he does actually look like an accountant playing football. Donovan Pines and Marc Roberts both have much better goalscoring records for us than Cosgrove. That really shouldn't be the case. Assuming Cosgrove is one of our higher earners, we really should be looking to offload him. I don't think it's any exaggeration to say that he's up there with Dave Regis for crapness.

    If memory serves it was Cosgroves’s idleness at the start that Wrexham run and goal that cost us the goal and point at their place

    I genuinely think it was just a complete lack of footballing ability.

    :D They were that quiet we were singing that we forgot they were here when they cheered their goal (which was 9 minutes after you posted this).

    A game of two halves ehh, and I'm impressed and surprised as well of course, that we did manage to hold on in the end.
    K.D and Phillips popped up with the goals again, and maybe they are both trying to score a goal of the season contender, in every match now. :rolleyes:
    There's comments again though of another appalling biased ref, doing his best to help them level the scores. And was it nearly 10 minutes added on, out of what should have been 7!!. :eek:

    Shades of Colace. Often went unnoticed, but certainly missed when he wasn't in the team

    He was simply outstanding at Peterborough and looked a class defender destined for the Championship

    I was more bothered by the appallingly biased commentator.

    Yeah club commentators are one thing, and they can be amusing, sometimes!. :rolleyes:
    But the Sky sports commos really should be more professional, and less high pitched lol, and call it like a neutral fan. :eek:

    Out of contract in the summer thank **** although there is a further 1 year option in the club's favour. Surely those higher up aren't that thick that they'd exercise that option :D:D.

    Ps I can't see any other club being daft enough to take him off us this month so we're stuck with him for now. He's one of the worst players I've been laik tor BFC.

    Its such a disappointment how downhill Sam Cosgrove has gone, to the point where he looks like he's almost feeling sorry for himself now.
    It made me laugh when somebody posted how many seconds it took him after coming on, before just flopping down to the ground again!.
    That I'm afraid is an absolute passenger type of player, who we can now do without!.
    But as others have asked, who will take him off us ?. :oops:

    I'm sure Clarke was saying how ruthless he is a few weeks ago so let's see.
