I work with a Rochdale season ticket holder and he says the following. Rochdale are great with the ball but lousy without it. Even though they have Dawson at the back their other centre half struggled in League 2. Dawson plays 40-50 yard passes from the back out to the wings where o'Grady receives and will attack the defender. If we can close Dawson down then their main outlet is gone. He was fearful we would seriously run up a huge score-line against them after the Rovers result but after Monday and the JPT fiasco result then he's more confident about getting a win!

Zola didn't work for the Prem but League 1 may well be the right level for him to 'start' club management at. I'm fairly sure he had a reasonable amount of success running the Italian U21 team. However I will wait and see although something tells me (my gut) we'll have a manager in place by Friday.

Hmmm I read his comments as to mean away from St. Mary's teams may open up a bit and not play negative football against us. But hey I'm an optimist.

Sense! Nonsense I believe it is.

Voted for martin though neot seen him play yet. Jaidi worries me as he seems casual on the ball and too often no loses out to the attacker when the ball is on the deck. In the air Jaidi still has it though from reading the reports from those that have seen Martin play I'd say he has the potential to be as dominant in the air as Jaidi (or even Metomo )

Think their second string may just be too strong for our lads.

The transfer window closes 31st August and then the loan window is open. I'm fairly sure if the right player for AP was available for the right fee then he'd be here now. We don't know what goes on in transfer dealings & we don't know his specific targets. One game doesn't make a season and

Probably because we look strong in defence, they've not really even troubled our goal, we look dangerous in attack and we should have scored from one of hammonds attempts. It'll come. Don't panic and just chill.

I've lost count! Are we three nil or four nil up already?

quick search on t'internet Jermaine McGlashen of Ashford Town (Middlesex)

Not today I'm afraid as I've had the odd glass or two of cider. 'Tis better to be critical of others from this distance.

If you do go search out Judge_B as he knows ALL the players! It'll make your day so much easier.

I think you're saying this tongue in cheek but to be honest we are playing the two toughest teams in our pre-season fixture list first. Think we'll 'do' the others (including Reading).

From Twitter........50 mins: Sochaux take the lead, left winger beats Butterfield for pace, pulls it back for the striker to fire it in. Oh oh the doom & gloom merchants will be on to that one!

Who is this Miles lad? Maybe Judge_B or chrisobee can help?

Whoever is going to be doing the match updates from switzerland certainly will have their work cut out to achieve the level of reporting we've had from Basingstoke. Thank you Judge_B for an entertaining afternoon (and your sidekick Chrisobee too)

I vote we sent someone else to matches instead of Judge_B in future. I can't believe my £5 subscription fee is funding this level of reporting
