Whenever I see Halifax on the NL highlights I'm puzzled why they built those two huge ends. There must be almost as redundant space for a typical game as there was at Darlington.

How much of the land Brunton Park stands on does the club own? It must be worth a fortune halfway between the town centre and the motorway, or is the flood threat too great?

I'm not against this 14-player rule but it must be an advantage for home teams if they need to call in replacements on the day. We'll presumably travel to Rochdale Friday.

I watched the whole second half on Sunday. Terrific commentary by the Vale pair, also supplying Radio Stoke. As one of them pointed out, the tackle on Gibbons wasn't a foul - and as the commentary positions are on the opposite side to the camera, they have a proper view of it. Also said Jones...

Remember him playing against County for Yeading, a real handful, all arms and legs. RIP.

Sutton beat themselves. Red card was a Labadie-style "hardest kid in the playground" over-the-ball foul and the pen was a rugby tackle in stoppage time on a player posing no threat.

Our local paper says we burgled a point and that's spot-on. Before HT we didn't pose the threat we should have from that amount of possession and after HT Crawley were sharper all over the pitch except for a five-minute spell during which Telford levelled. Their goal involved a completely...

You were warned!

It's a few years ago, but I read that you can get the pellets lodged in your nasal cavities and ears and not all insurance policies cover removal. 4G makes perfect sense that far down the pyramid and of course it's a great statement of intent by the new owner.

My point is even if it's commonplace, it's not a good idea to get yourself on national TV behaving like that. The other thing was how easily intimidated the manager seemed to be.

Thing is it wasn't a team talk, it was an employer verbally abusing his staff, some of them only kids, while the manager looked on. Not a good look in 2021. But good luck regardless, you might well enjoy the next few years more than struggling in the EFL.

Enjoyed the documentary and very well done Smethurst but ultimately Savage will be a liability. Idiot to allow himself to be filmed verbally abusing what looked liked very young players at half-time while the manager who must have no self-respect let him get on with it. And they were leading...

I would have settled for a draw but we caught Pools completely by surprise by putting four in the box for a cross in the 93rd minute. Good to see the Remembrance stuff on the appropriate weekend and the bugler was superb.

Yes.

Your CBs were excellent. We had two defensive midfielders at CB. We beat your left back at will but no end product at all once we'd done that.

It is but less so than under Flynn and the first teamers are less likely to put teammates under unnecessary pressure than last night.

One-nil to Swindon was about right. We huffed and puffed and had a huge number of corners but never looked like scoring. Two youth teamers did well but several fringe players too happy to take a breather.

County at Swindon on Tuesday, a point will see us through. Lose other than on penalties and it's Arsenal.

Nope. Haynes got a deserved second yellow, irresponsible after Upson's straight red for handball. I thought he headed it but the ref had a better angle than the camera.
