The commentary is abysmal

[theo_luddite]

Agreed. He's adding all the excitement of a bowl of cold thin porridge sprinkled with soggy stale cornflakes. Maybe they should use one of the Radio Local commentary feeds. it would probably delay the transmission even more (BBC Live reporting had the goal up before we saw the corner on TV) and HTTV isn't live to the second either) but either of the home or away common taters would add a bit of interest.

But would SKY agree to use BBC common taters (and vicy versy) or would they have to be those advert fueled guys? Do Town games (and others) even get advert fueled Radio Local common taters these days? I've no idea of the frequency or even frequencies any more.

Super finish from Harry Kane's brother.

How Wycombe didn't get down to ten men in the first minute is bewildering.

Midfield lightweight again. Losing the ball too easily.

But apart from that, all positive.

[theo_luddite]

Even though both teams are in the top 6, this is typical of the scrappy, crappy football that was tyical of League One when we were last down here. There's a bit more effort to play the ball out and on the floor, The "Pep effect" but really, it hasn't changed that much. If in doubt, kick him and play it/wipe him out.

Not a pretty watch but a welcome 3 points

[Lord Snooty]

Rode our luck, but a massive three points in the bag.

Referee was a joke again.

[theo_luddite]

Wycombe bring Bradley in on loan to replace Taylor. His first act is to wipe Bojangles out with an elbow to the face in less than 30 seconds, missed by the ref and the liner stood 10 yards away. We didn't even get a free kick for it. He spends the next 80 minutes pushing, pulling, kicking, arm wrestling anyone that came near him and the first time he crosses the half-way line for anything other than a corner/free kick Tom Lees gets a yellow for tackling him. Sums up the standard of referees and football in this division. Not that refs are mostly any better in the Chumpionship but the standard of football (generally ) is.

Get promoted Town, don't stay in this poxy League for another season. Preferably without another Wembley penalty shootout, please. I'd prefer to be on holiday for once.

Great win last night, it wasn’t pretty and we rode our luck at times but all that counts at the end of the game is the 3 points.

Now we move on to the next game…so with very low temperatures forecast do we think the Shrewsbury game will go ahead?
We’re supposed to be going for the weekend but don’t want to book anything unless it’s likely to be played

[Lord Snooty]

The forecast says 3 degrees in Shrewsbury for Saturday. But that can always change and probably will.

[theo_luddite]

The frost is deep and crisp and even down these parts today. To my knowledge they don't have undersoil heating so you would hope they've taken other measures to try and protect the pitch. I've got a ticket for the match but I'm holding off buying a train ticket for now.

Night time temperatures for the next few days will be well below freezing and daytime temperatures will hardly induce a thaw. There's also a chance of rain/snow falling on frozen ground on Saturday morning. If you can't get a full refund for cancelling Saturday morning I'd hold off. There's plenty of accomodation in Shrewsbury, Telford, Bridgnorth, Wolverhampton at weekends, with all but Bridgnorth well served by public transport if needed.

PS - with a Railcard, it's £8.55 return between Wolvo & Shrewsbury. West Midlands trains run every hour and stop at all intermediate stations. Arriva Wales trains also run every hour between the WN trains but only stop at Wellingon and Telford. You can get a few pence off if you only use the AW trains. You could always do an improvised ale trail and spend the afternoon/evening in deep refreshment.

The Mrs wants to stay in Shrewsbury, apparently it has lots of things to see. Haven’t booked anyaccommodation yet (to the best of my knowledge) I’m tempted to book the premier inn to the North which you can cancel until 1pm on the day and shift our plans from Saturday to Tuesday rather than Friday - Monday.

As you say the temperature may struggle to defrost the frozen pitch especially as it’s going to be post lunch by the time we reach + temperatures
