It was too much to ask the same 11 players to play 3 games in 6 days, especially against (what is possibly) the quickest team in the League.

Last season he had a bad game at Barnsley and never looked quite the same again. I hope the Oxford error doesn't set him off on a bad run again.

Hurrah. Same team. Just hope they aren't too fatigued.

I'd take £4m with a loan back all day long

Not just a Warne pre season, but a proper pre-season due to last season's circumstances

Tbh the only reason he would change the side is because of fatigue or injury. As we don't have the inside story on that, it's very difficult to predict a starting XI. Hopefully we will stay with the 442

Thank God no one is being shouted down now

So people disagreed with you. Ok

With a loan back for this season

Could you give some examples. I'd be amazed if you found more than 2 people on here.

I've looked at the highlights now and I agree. Though Cashin sidefoots it 6 yards out, it passes others on the way. As a general point keepers don't seem as good on crosses as they used to, but the balls are different now, and I imagine that makes things more difficult

We had 68% possession first half

Correct. Someone like Poom would have collected the crosses for our second and third goals

I don't like to comment on the ratings thread, but no fault for the goals?

Went today. Not bad.

Angieram can't get signal, she says 1 1 Collins

I would largely agree with this, Nyambe arriving at Carlisle improved Nelson immeasurably

I hope not. I would hope we give 442 another go..

Would he play in a for for to?

The second penalty was unforgiveable for any professional footballer of any position. He had time to assess the situation. Warne want impressed. Hauled him off a minute later (ht) and didn't off the bench v Wigan.

We will definitely rotate at least 2 players. Especially wide players.

This is not a moan. As well as we played, Wigan had to rotate and had a very young side out. Several 20 year olds.
