    They have two smiths, but one is in goal and one's up front, so it should be obvious which one I'm on about.

    O'Toole levers forward after some ping-pong; Konsa and Smith battle but they have it on their left - Wilde can't pass Byrne, and Holmes then has to concede a corner.

    Corner bounces, Smith shoots blocked Novak, Konsa vs their bloke, has to concede a throw after some semi-clearance.

    Phillips into Williams, gets it back, ball touches into Smith, Konsa challenges well and Page helps out vs Williams to complete the clearance for their throw.

    Good challenge Ezri.

    phillips to Smith, touchline, takes on Botaka, Richards middle out again to Wylde, Smith now, nope finds Williams with Page there, Phillips behind him, crosses - and it goes out for a GK.

    Rudd to the far side, down the middle for Magennis actually, he heads but then Zakuani nearly finds them. Bauer back out with a header, Magennis jumps into Zakuani and it's a foul free kick Northampton.

    Sent away to Smith, Konsa heads but only to Taylor, can't find O'Toole and straight to us on the right. Holmes to Magennis, shit ball to Novak but recovered, Ulvestad finds Holmes - Byrne overlap but Taylor has to concede a corner. Good counter attacking football.

    At least we've not conceded yet.

    Holmes outswings, Novak - cleared by Smith, Ulvestad edge of area but Luke Williams clears. Byrne pressure back to Rudd. To Page central, up to Botaka touchline, passes Phillips really well, touchline, passes a second man(!), right foot cross and Botaka... oh well, behind everyone.

    Really really good work from Botaka to pass Phillips and O'Toole - and it's a crap cross.

    Sounds like Charlton summed up in one player!

    Smith backs into Bauer and it's a foul. Our FK in our half. Standard. Up to Magennis, looks for Holmes but Ulvestad from the clear, Crofts outside to Byrne back into Ulvestad, back to goal to Byrne, tees up Novak, releases Holmes - Nyatanga can clear though for our throw.

    Byrne line to Holmes, into Magennis, looks out wide for Page overlap eventually - poor ball but Konsa has the legs on Smith to stifle a break.

    ... Ulvestad tees up Magennis but he can't find Botaka, and it's back to Smith.


    Sorry, missed a minute there - commentary cutting out.

    Holmes intercepts well from their attack - we can ride it again with the interception, Magennis gets the ball to Crofts edge of area to Novak, can't control it from the counter attack and they have.

    Williams, turns Novak, hospital ball finds Smith JUST before Magennis there and Michael Smith up there now. Williams to go down the wing but Page gets back - Rudd just about can clear it from some scrappy marshalling generally across the board from both teams.

    Throw now deep in our half. Williams back to Phillips, takes on Botaka, stops the run - but a corner there.

    Rochdale 0 Sheff U 2. I think they are coming good, funny what happens with a good manager

    Taylor left-footed to swing it in, and flicked away by Bauer, their throw-in - no, it's apparently our throw!

    Nyatanga from Magennis, and headed on - Rudd gets it though. Page down the left hand side and can't find Botaka, Phillips back to Williams - Page pressures them too much and flicked off, their ball Taylor on the far side. Buchanan overlaps and Byrne cuts out the cross though, their throw.

    Buchanan to Taylor, infield to Smith edge of area all on his own - why did he have that time and space?! Missed the shot entirely though.
  • PaddyP17

    Ball to Smith now and Williams, Bauer can intercept the overcooked ball and we win a header vs Buchanan, who picks it up vs Holmes - throw conceded though for them. Still 0-0.

    Is this a match thread ?

    Nothing seems to make.sense anymore.

    Buchanan halfway in his own half lines it, Richards but Byrne heads - straight to Smith, and Bauer reads well to touch to Magennis. Right to Holmes, infield to Magennis again, back to Bauer now, switches it to Botaka - overdone again. Their throw.

    If you mean the other scores I am putting up, no fear, no more

    Phillips to Richards down the line - he can't control it, and we have a throw halfway in our own half.

    Page with it now, down the line for Magennis, heads in but no Charlton there and Taylor can deal with it. Passes it back to Adam Smith, and he hits long. Konsa only finds them, Williams has a shot - easily saved by Rudd. Optimistic effort.

    Sorry no. Great job just losing the plot.

    Holmes to Botaka, touchline, Page now and Konsa is found but he's pressured and goes back to Rudd. Clears long, Novak beaten to it by Nyatanga, who finds Williams infield back to O'Toole, up to Smith, back to Phillips and he tries to go right-hand side of Williams but overcooked and we have a throw.

    Page takes it on our left, and halfway in our half. O'Toole from Novak and Smith back to Taylor but Novak wins well - Crofts to Holmes great ball, Holmes takes man on and shoots straight at Adam Smith. Similar to Williams' effort just now.

    Byrne from the GK - Phillips in on the challenge and Botaka concedes a foul. He kicks the ball away in frustration.
