Sod it, I'm calling it, he's he worst co commentator this season, I'd rather have Pete !!
How can a co commentator actually say live on air 'I hope they lose tonight' and he's pronounced Ikpeazu's name about 4 different ways
It is about personal taste, but he's pretty dreadful in my opinion.
At least he speaks positively about us, but thank goodness he's a once a season merchant.
We're playing too tight with 4231, we need to help the full backs more by switching to 451. We're also playing too much long ball and bypassing the midfield. It's as if the lessons of the past few weeks have been forgotten already (apart from Gareth's ditching of his leather jacket).
One hears Derek Payne doing match previews on 3CR on matchdays quite often. Never got the impression he was likely to add much more than cliches and tonight has tended to confirm that impression, but he's pretty far from one-eyed even if the credit he gives has little basis in the observation of what's actually happening.

Just seen Chairboys on the Net reference Stockdales double save and then seen the iFollow stats of no saves by either keeper.
Stats don't work
They do if they are correctly recorded as I think they were here. Stockdale didn't save either shot, did he? Both blocked by defenders.
Yes, Stockdale made a superb interception, but the follow up shot was blocked by Grimmer (even though the co-commentator said it was a save), and then JJ cleared the next one.
Payne is just a parody of himself at the start of the 2nd half. Complaining about a clear foul on Knight and then saying Wheeler was well offside. Unlucky for him there's a video feed of the game that showed him to be talking utter cobblers.

Are you questioning the excellent Chairboys on the Net?

Don't fancy your chances
Are you watching the game out of interest, or just reading updates online?
I have to say, and I think this might be sacrilege to many on here, but I just don’t get Dominic Gape. Almost every time I watch him play I’m wondering what his role is. I’d have Thommo or Dennis in ahead of him every time.

On a scale of 1 to Geoff Doyle, just how bad is he?

I quite like Geoff Doyle
Does his homework, pronounce names correctly.
Is Geoff Doyle the Southend guy?
Couldn’t agree more @aloysius. It’s looked horribly retrograde so far (if that’s the right word).

So do i
I inferred from @Gary's scale that he also rates Geoff Doyle.

He did make a save at some other point though, didn't he? One that he pushed out towards the penalty spot.
Haha in all honesty, I used to really dislike his commentary style. I think it just reminds us how lucky we are to have Phil though.
Yes, Stockdale made a superb interception, but the follow up shot was blocked by Grimmer (even though the co-commentator said it was a save), and then JJ cleared the next one.
Can't remember if there was another save.
Sigh. Replay showed wheeler onside.
Would like to see a proper angle of that "offside".
Payne is just a parody of himself at the start of the 2nd half. Complaining about a clear foul on Knight and then saying Wheeler was well offside. Unlucky for him there's a video feed of the game that showed him to be talking utter cobblers.
See I thought offside. Good to see the third umpire in the India test series is on iFollow replays though.
Offside goal? I'll show a low replay from behind the goal
I think Pain is the operative word. As good as Phil is on comms, I've had to mute it
Are you questioning the excellent Chairboys on the Net?
Don't fancy your chances
The iFollow replay seemed to suggest it was the right decision and Wheeler was offside
I fear I might be.
Crud.
JJ having a tough game.
We’ve not been very good tonight.
Not diabolical. Just not up to snuff.

Congrats to Derek Payne on winning that competition to be a commentator for the day.
That was a very good goal.
