Glad you get a big FA Cup story, Marc. And no-one better to describe it!

Can you imagine seeing your club pull off an #facup giantkilling and reach the Second Round for the first time…then find out you’ve won £300 in the @WimborneTownFC 50/50 draw?! 😱 If this is you, give me a ring-ding-ding, because I want you to pick my lottery numbers. 😃

Always good when the manager sees the same game. It’s valuable. Lots to put right. Main one he can’t do anything about until January. A proper target man can transform that team. Not talking about goals. One who can hold it through the middle & get #SWFC up the pitch.

Only conclusion I’d draw from that. They are what they are & where they are. For very understandable reasons, #SWFC are not as strong, not as experienced & sturdy as the League One promotion team of 2023. Acceptance of the reality of that should help, not hinder, the new manager.

Young Grainger needs to learn from giving away that free-kick so unnecessarily against a team who thrive on delivering long, high set-pieces. Not that he could be blamed for the defending that followed for the Oldham goal!

Might seem a small thing but I like that Bannan isn’t taking the corners. Been a tired old record on that subject. Much better deployed, as here, lurking around the edge of the area & picking up the pieces. Good early common sense move from #SWFC’s new manager.

From what I’ve seen, this game at Oldham deserves to have been hidden under fog instead of the one at Altrincham last night 😉

Knew that would do the trick. Cue the Keillor-Dunn sunbeam.

Exactly my impression of the Burnley I saw collapse shamefully at Lincoln recently. A collection of disjointed parts massively removed from any semblance of a team unit. Players whose names I didn’t recognise & absolutely zero sense of identity.

If a club treats players as commodities to be simply bought and sold, moving numbers in and out every year with no real development and no team culture, you end up with what Burnley have - a collection of players who just happen to be under contract to the club at the moment - and nothing more.

Remembrance Sunday brings poignantly to mind a recent tour of WW1 battlefields with my son … when we visited one of the sites of the legendary Christmas truce football matches. Lest we forget. ❤️

If that was Billy’s final farewell, he can more than hold his head up. A nagging menace to a L1 defence. I watched him in isolation at times today, willing that goal. All the movement & guile that brought him 299 goals clearly evident. And so close …

No Diamonds dream … but Billy Sharp so, so close in stoppage time to that elusive 300th goal. #BAFC 4 @AFCRD 0. Professional by the L1 side, proud by the non-leaguers, who had a real go after halt time with Sharp always a threat. Deserved the acclaim of their 2,000 fans.

It was good also to see Darren Cann give a penetratively clear explanation of this incident on MOTD.

Dale you got this one 100% correct. The Offside Law is clear and a penalty kick should have been awarded.

FT: Retford United 8-1 Golcar United. It’s goals galore at Cannon Park as the Badgers hit Golcar for eight. #UTB 🖤

Amazing how one win can become two. Confidence, belief etc. Never any questioning of the spirit. Really pleased for the Patterson brothers who have battled through a really tough few months to start a turnaround 👏

Bad news sadly from the Valley. Femi Seriki out for the season with a serious knee injury, per Chris Wilder #SUFC

Plenty of good wishes to Billy from Blades on my timeline … but be some story regardless if the 3rd tier team are toppled by one from the 8th.

Billy Sharp scored his first pro goals for Rushden & Diamonds. Can he score his 300th today - for the since reformed @AFCRD ? What an FA Cup story that would be! I’m at Burton Albion for that first round tie. talkSPORT #AroundTheGrounds
