Monga coming on helped him. They couldn’t over commit players to him the same when we had the dual threat on each wing.

Can’t believe Daka has lost the one thing he had going for him, a yard of pace. He’s slowed down loads.

Ayew had an easier pull back pass to make twenty secs earlier.

Daka will go on a scoring spree soon. He’s a massive flop for us and barely looks like a footballer 80% of the time but I’m convinced he’s a confidence player. He will get a lucky goal soon and all of a sudden won’t be able to stop scoring. Ayew could play in this division for the next three years and will struggle to score 10 goals in open play.

As much as I don’t rate Daka and he frustrates the shit out of me, I do think he’s worth a gamble. We will not finish top two without someone getting 20 goals and no way on this earth Ayew gets even half that many without some penalties. It’s the lads last chance to at least pay us back some of what he owes us.

Nice we will be able to lift the trophy at home.

Cracking first session this morning.

batting first.

Now win the thing. I’m assuming we get a nice pot for being champions

Absolutely pissing down in Notts. Heavy shower but would get them off the field for an hour if it comes this way.

Yes they’ve got nothing to lose as such being aggressive and putting pressure on us. They also know we won’t fancy a nasty few hours batting with max pressure on us. I was hoping heavy rain would come earlier and make this a stress free draw

Although seeing batting looking easy might me more preferable. I’d be more scared seeing them 20-4 right now.

Them other games both would need contrived finishes to force a result now. Be annoying if one of them do get a result.

Another howler from the umpires. Probs the worst one yet.

I agree. 4 down or even 5 overnight and the draw becomes clearly the most likely result.

Going to be hard for Gloucester to beat us providing we avoid the follow on. Looks likely plenty of overs will be lost to rain and as long as we make Gloucester bat again they are not going to have plenty of sessions in which to bowl us out. Northants batting well. Hopefully that game mirrors ours for the four days and with play lost finishes a draw. Given we’ve never been in a strong position and Glamorgan will have fancied the lot after their batting, two drawn games would be a nice result.

It’s like the managers are blinded by the wages. Playing the big earners over a lad who is probably their equal at worst but will be on substantially less money.

Just play him now. That youthful fearlessness is something we need. He’s not scared to gamble. It’s a joy to watch.

Masood has been very frustrating. He should be seeing this game out. Less than 2 an over needed ffs. Just show your class.

400 up. Get ready bowlers.

Still playing defensive pushes to balls pitching a foot outside leg. Just kick it away. Nearly all out playing a ball he doesn’t need to play.

Deffo rather have these runs than be the bowling side. Especially if we are likely to lose a day.

Not quite sure why we ain’t padding away most of Parkinson’s deliveries. Five balls an over pitching a foot outside leg. Make him have to change his line. He’s landing it in some rough and we are still offering the bat.

Green out first ball ffs

Need to buckle down now. We’ve scored at a decent rate. No need to play any risky shots. Need to get 340-350 and grind our way there is fine.
