Best Of

The crowd are trying their best, but any early enthusiasm is draining away and the kids are starting to fidget. Not much more than low paced pitter patting it round the back before launching diagonals.

Fingers crossed for the second half.

Oh for Jeeves and Catchpole. At least they would inject some jollity into the occasion. The dour man started the match with the fascinating observation that Wycombe were beginning to impart themselves on Wigan. I’ve a feeling he is much younger than he sounds.

Sam Avery is excellent but is used to commentating on radio. Richie (?) was with Phil on Tuesday and drove people mad by talking non stop and lacking wit or empathy.

Fairly dull so far, a consequence of both teams being happy to keep possession in their own half for long periods.

Wigan are trying to keep the game at a slow pace, but we are still looking much more dangerous and have created a few half-openings.

Simons looking good again, but front three still not firing against a good defence.

Probably saw the stinging criticism!

I’m restricted to following on live text today. How are we doing? Scowen hits the bar and looks like we’ve dominated?

Cheers. The co-comms guy seems a little more muted today, which is actually a great balance for him.

Sam Avery and the same co-comms from Tuesday I think?

Where’s Phil?

Agreed but he’s not playing for Hornchurch.
