Stone is cup keeper, Covolan league keeper I imagine. Standard practice. We're out of the Pizza trophy so Stone has lost potential minutes.

I was wondering that but he didn't play against Stanley, did he? Don't think 'cup keepers' generally play in FA cup matches and doubt he'll play if we get a big team either. Not arguing that Covolan shouldn't be first choice but this isn't the first time I've thought that decision making regarding the keepers has been a bit unusual.

This is what every unsuccessful team says. 

'We're a 20 goal a season striker from the playoffs!'. 

Just a roundabout way of saying 'we're not very good, but if we created more chances and had better players, then watch out!'.

One day people will realise that '20 goal a season strikers don't exist in League 2 as they are either a) one season wonders or b) move to a championship club or c) old and finished. The sooner we all clock onto this the sooner we can move on from tedious 'proven goalscorer' debates every summer (which I have been foolish enough to engage in before, see Nicky Maynard). 

 

Exactly.

I'd much rather have a team that has goals throughout it (when is the last time we an say that prior to this season?) than rely on one man anyway. Plus without injuries, there's no reason why Proctor and Wilson couldn't score at least 15 each in the league which is perfectly acceptable, especially when both offer other qualities to the team.

Clarke,  bless him, must have walked under a ladder and then watched a black cat cross his path to be without Proctor, Wilson AND Lloyd all at the same time. Talk about bad luck.

Why would Stone be dropped? Thought he could maybe have dealt with the cross that led to their goal but seemed pretty capable otherwise and did enough to keep his place.

You could argue why was Covolan dropped after a faultless display against Hartlepool using that logic.

Lucas is our number one keeper his shirt to lose. 

Ps sorry I see its already been addressed.  Apologies

Is this the first time Barton has been found not guilty in a court case???

According to the press coverage, Daniel Stendel was walking down the tunnel when he was barged over by someone from behind and injured, breaking a tooth.

Joey Barton was seen on video jogging into the tunnel closely after Stendel. But there was no-one else in the tunnel when whatever happened, happened. 

The "not guilty" verdict looks to be the correct legal verdict due to the lack of witnesses.

Make what you will out of the above. I know what I think happened.
