Yep, losing with this side not a huge shock, but soft soft goal.

Now Bolton 2 Eastleigh 2

Both sides in fairness using long balls not just us! Difficult one, but no harm in giving Kodjia a rest. Would give Agard a run myself.

Got to be very happy with that. Playing a premier side that have put out a strong side. Charged at them first twenty, played some nice stuff and could have gone ahead. Since then, they have shaded it really, but we have battled away, and kept in it. About the best we could have hoped for. We seem to be going long, which may be nerves, and Wilbs not really getting any change with those. Have to assume ala West Ham they will sooner or later find some quality at some stage, but not seen it so far. Would think Agard maybe for Burns on about 70. Still in it!

Yep, you would think so. Having said that we had a real go at them first twenty, and longer the game is still tight you just never know!

Yep, game starting to turn at the moment.

Danger against a premier side is we run out of puff later on, but cannot but admire our start.

Reid putting Burns through - not something we have heard much so far this season! No complaints so far at all.

Shot on target by Freeman. More than we managed first half v Preston.

Looks pretty much a full strength WBA. Can only do our best!

Rationally, to rest a few, come out with an honourable defeat, no injuries, will be very happy with that. The moment however the whistle goes I know I will want us up and at them, giving no quarter, giving 100%, and going all out for the win. Can be rational later!

I would argue Preston are competing. Not making it look hard are they.

Some fella called Robinson on. Who said he could not get on the pitch at AG?

Is this the same goalie that had a blinder at their place? Sounds like he has made a couple of very decent saves.

All gone a bit crazy this half!

Bite your hand off.

MK and Charlton both two down.

Well, from our perspective, that has sounded truely dire. Yes Preston do not make it easy, but not a single shot. Trouble maybe with a small squad, and an even smaller group that play! Only good news is we seem to have one good half, one poor one, although they do normally come in that order.

Not uncommon for them away. Makes them more solid, or so they believe!

Half time for me.

Sounds like we are hung over from the cup at the moment. Need to get at it. No shot at all so far.

MK one down.

Yep, look dead and buried.

Not really. Whatever happens now they did good.
