Tranmere at home. They look to be in poor form with a couple of senior centre backs out?

We’ve got Hoskins back which is an interesting selection dilemma with how well the whole team played at Bradford. Be interesting to see what we do.

2-1 Cobblers.
Central defenders Turnbull and Simeu both suspended. Doubts either illness or injury regarding Hawkes Hemmings and Jameson and a few more longer term absentees definitely unavailable. We've played fairly well in the last two away games, but with all those missing players it's hard to see beyond a comfortable Northampton win 3-0/4-1

Our keeper Tomas Holy did it last week at Walsall. Must be a bug going round League 2.

Didn't realise Holy still had a gig in the Football League. Very poor everytime Ive seen him.

He will probably have a blinder on Boxing Day now

Killip's passed on his CURSE to Paul Farman it seems. Thomas Holy beware.

1:32. This is worse than both Killip’s and Farman’s right?

Carlisle United 3 - 0 Sutton United

All evidence points to nothing else but a routine Carlisle United win this afternoon. Paul Simpson will be demanding a performance after his fury at last week's cock-up.

No fit LB for us today so looks like Evan Khouri (or maybe even Harry Clifton?) is stepping up.

Currently in a taxi to the ground, gonna be pushing it in terms of getting in on time. 1000+ tickets sold though, great effort for a 9 hour round trip 12.30 kickoff.

Not at Plough Lane today, I wish this rotten cold would do one.

Sounds like a nasty injury to Michee Efete. Hope he's okay.

One team took it’s chances one didn’t, 2-0 down having bossed it early on.

Carlisle 1 Sutton 1 at halftime. Relatively even half, both defences were suspect for the goals. But there are positives so far for Sutton

The top two seem to be very good, Northampton win today and they're running away with the autos.

Rovers starting xi ok but only able to name 6 subs and of them only Jameson and Nevitt have significant first team experience. Anything short of a hammering will be a good result.

Our league form is really concerning now, I’m starting to expect defeats every week which is a pretty horrible feeling.

Play without strikers don't expect to score goals.

If we don't sign a striker in Jan it's an embarrassment

Played ok today until the offside goal then let Wimbledon into the game and we were poor after that.

No, however Will Randall went off injured for Sutton.

That was the only negative for me, a point away is always welcome, especially one as unexpected as this. And we were well worth the point imo, I don’t think either side did enough to win it.

We always start games slowly. Total control after the first goal went in. Real clinic from us.

Similar story to last week. Start the game brightly, should've probably had a pen, wasted a few good chances then go one down from their first attack. Looked offside but would have to see it again. Then we're two down out of nowhere thanks to a wonder strike and that's the game done. Concerning how we look like a pub side as soon as we have to chase a game.

Great early start for the mighty County. If the Flag Burners aren't careful this could be heavy

Despite a nervy start when we got caught pissing around with it at the back and nearly conceding, we scored the first goal and in the end got a deserved victory - we're very good at managing games when we're in front, Bradford didn't create anything after the second goal.

First goal was a tight offside call, will have to check it again but our running in behind caused Bradford problems all afternoon, the second was another Tom James wonder strike on his "weaker" foot.

Second Half Mark Hughes lost his head midway through it, the ref Declan Drysdale was a bit crap I have to say but Bradford were poor and not really doing anything. He ended up kicking eveything in his dugout, losing gloves and telling the crowd to fuck off all in the space of 30 seconds much to everyones amusement.

Despite alot of possession, we still created the better chances second half especially on the break with our frontlines pace and killed the game with a third.

Bradford apart from the first 20mins when they got into us and needed to score the one chance they had, lost their way after we scored the second goal and never really looked like getting back into the game.

Should have had a pen and if the dreaded VAR was around they probably wouldn’t have scored the opener, things may have been different had we had the rub of the green. But once we went 2 down after missing a sitter we got outclassed and our heads dropped. Northampton were the better team though imo, with a bit more luck early on the result could have been different where as Northampton gave us nothing. Our heads drop awfully once we go behind which is why when we have conceded first we are yet to gain a point this season.

Another pretty poor home performance from us. That’s 2 in a row now. Play like that next week and Barrow will absolutely dick us.

Sutton definitely overestimated us. They were clearly expecting to be on the back foot given they were time wasting after 5 minutes. We were poor and possibly there for the taking, no need to time waste against us.

As 0-0 goes this isn't too bad. Some really decent football from both sides and a couple of choice tackles.

I would say Swindon have edged it but we've made their keeper work more.

All to play for at Crawley.

Stockport County.
2 0 up from two poor bits of defending from Hartlepool, particularly the first.

I don't know why we've been so shit in possession though. Barely really strung much passing together. Game not over for me if we keep playing like that.
