Also. Lovely gesture from the club. MND is an especially cruel disease.

Agree with the above. Not sure how much the 4th kit will raise but the club should still be applauded for the effort.

Good to see GC laughing through the adversity in his pre-match interviews. I think you can see some players are carrying injuries atm and possibly having injections and playing through the niggles. It seems it'll be a "patch up and go" for a few weeks yet and us supporters probably need to up the noise to help carry the players through.

Perhaps an injury over the weekend to someone in the U20's squad and a County youngster call up may help as a third international player would see the game in the 18th called off.

Thought that performance was okay. No injuries and a clean sheet, that's about all you can hope for at the moment. Think Charsley has been the biggest miss of those injured and with H-P coming back soon then we could see a change in fortunes soon.

A bit frustrated with GC and his substitution policy. County needed fresh legs much earlier than the Waite for Wood in the 86th minute. Why Thomas isn't given an opportunity is beyond me. Has he pissed off GC? I can't think of another reason not to give him the occasional run out from the bench.

I don’t think Thomas is rated by GC and from what I have seen of him,he is very raw and not ready for L2.Having said that,he has pace and physicality and with all the injuries,he should be getting some game time just to save the legs of Bogle.I would expect him to be returning to Bristol as soon as his teammate is fit.

I thought Townsend was outstanding today.

With the injuries and Townsend and Baker on International duty,we really need this Papajohns game on Tuesday don’t we.

Shame that the referee messed up his duties during the remembrance event prior to the kick off.

Totally agree, he turned a very respectful occasion into a farce and disgrace. I felt sorry for the excellent bugler who manfully carried on whilst everyone was running off, hopefully he got the apology he deserved.

The bugler was a lady. I thought The Last Post was delivered superbly.

I would add that if the stadium announcer had reminded the crowd the order of the 'service', the referee may have understood his timings. This is what happened at Gillingham, although, even though it was announced four or five times, a few still started applauding after The Last Post. I assume the chap on the microphone yesterday had not been given the script. Where's Tim when you need him?

Apologies if I got that wrong, but the Referee needs to be ashamed, as watching it again he only allowed 20 secs after the bugler stopped playing. As the commentator said, it is not as if this is a new ceremony for it to have gone so wrong. It reminded me of the time when we had a military band playing and the sprinklers were turned on.

Were we also expecting pro Palestinian protests as there was an absolutely ridiculous amount of stewards present, I counted 20 from the away end and down in front of the Bisley, no idea how many more there were on the Compeed side.? I thought we were trying to cut costs, if so, here is an area to be reviewed.
