Alcock off injured, he's done OK tonight. Ealing on with Fred moving to DM to spend the rest of the evening niggling, smashing people and moaning.

Shakpoke going off shortly, Moore coming on

Or not, he's going to hobble around for a bit longer.

Pics or it didn't happen

Fred's in the team tonight, she might be here again.

Yes, Kadan Young in the team, much prefer to see him that some of the other lads

Anyone coming Owl watching on Friday?

Rounds are too short, why do they only do 2 minutes?

The singing is worse than the judging.

Women's boxing is a hard watch. Not sure what of the judges were watching there.

Very negative at times last night, generally not brave enough and too much tippy tappy academy crap. Second half when they really stepped onto Newcastle and got up the pitch it was a different game, Fred's aggression amd experience in midfield a big factor in that.

Not overly impressed and I don't expect to see many of these lads knocking on the first team door to be honest. Feeney is great, an absolute Rolls Royce and Smith next to him solid enough, beyond that not a great deal to shout about for one reason or another. That said Moore's movement was excellent when he moved into the centre forward position.

Fred was immense in the middle of the park, particularly second half. Just shows how different the levels are.

Feeney is incredible, what a player we have on our hands here.

Fred's wife has just walked past me again, knee high boots and a short(ish) skirt......I can only assume that this is her first visit to Bodymoor.

I'm genuinely shocked he bothers to attend given how he treats our youth and fringe players. Perhaps he's hoping to pick up a new tactic off one of the U18 coaches.

He's here every game (for some of it) looking thoroughly miserable.

Do I run over and tell him he's boring and to **** off?

Gerrard has turned up

Guilbert playing as a DM?

Correct. Crowbarred in.

Stefan has arrived and is sat in front of me. In other news, I've just stood up to let Fred's wife and tiny kids past me, he responded to her arrival by absolutely smashing one of the Newcastle lads .

Luke Moore is here watching his nephew

It is Sam

Kobei looks sharp, certainly some meat behind his shots.

Appreciated, even though I was working on the Penny Lane pun.

Sadly can't be there tonight, family birthday. Hope the Owl isn't the evening's only highlight!

Yeah I know, I was saving you from yourself before one of you guys locked the thread.

I just caught a fleeting glance of a Buzzard landing in the trees to shelter from the rain in the far left corner. #autumnwatch

Rain has about stopped, everyone soaked but acting like nothing has happened, like only footballers can.
