Foyo booked. By my calculations, that's 3 bookings in 4 games...

Could be just one change with Collins moving inside to complete a lightweight midfield with McGavin and Jenkins Davies and Dan Martin wide on the left. .. and that is exactly where we ended up after DOA’s very brief comeback. Any more subs needed before the hour mark will see us in trouble. After that, we can wheel Hall out. Marshall is actually second favourite to be first red card now, but we cannot afford to sub Foyo off before he gets sent off.

link - to technical difficulties there will be no club radio this afternoon. Not sure if it is on radio Devon or Herefordshire? Both BBC Radio Devon and BBC Hereford & Worcester are commentating. That said, BBC Radio Devon isn't streaming yet, but I am listening to the H&W stream. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/live/football/67848490You can usually get the Radio Devon commentary and build-up by googling Radio Devon Live.

Hall on for Foyo five minutes into the second half.
Foyo very unhappy apparently.
I do hope we don’t buggar Hall up by making him play 40 minutes.
Your would think Hall would shore up our non-existent midfield, with Collins playing up front.
But we decide to play Hall as a centre forward and leave the midfield open.

Now Hall and Marshall up front with Martin at right back according to the commentators.
We are making it up as we go along.
Trying to be positive, at least we have changed a formation that was patently not working.
Desperate measures and unlikely to work, but we know what we had was not working.
The casual observer might think it is an utter shambles.

The casual observer might think it is an utter shambles. If it looks like a duck an utter shambles, swims like a duck an utter shambles, and quacks like a duck an utter shambles, then it probably is a duck an utter shambles.

Thomas now on for Collins.
The only player who may be described as a natural attacker replaced by a young left sided centre back.
We now have two left backs and two left sided centre backs.
Pretty sure Collins is, and has been for some time, well short of being fit.
If we had a competent manager, he would not be playing at all.

If it looks like a duck an utter shambles, swims like a duck an utter shambles, and quacks like a duck an utter shambles, then it probably is a duck an utter shambles. But George Edwards has told us that Gary Johnson is the best manager in the business. If George says this, it must be true mustn’t it? The best manager in the business would not produce a shambles would he? So no it is definitely not a shambles even though it might appear so to the casual observer.

On a positive note, we are surprisingly only two down.
My objective of avoiding humiliation is still achievable. Happy days.
Even better news is that I am looking forward to a decent curry next Saturday.

George Edwards is the boss, so what he says must be true. That's how us ordinary fans must treat authority, isn't it? We must trust what he says and not rock the boat by questioning what he says. It must be part of Gary Jonson's master plan. We'll be in the playoffs come the end of April laughing about these days. "Remember January when our glorious leader made the casual observer think we were an utter shambles?"

Well if people are trying to damage our brand, maybe we could bring in Angela van den Bogerd as a consultant to sort them out.
