Today's announcement on club website which links to EFL site suggests ifollow is no more. Overseas viewers should get access from a different provider, no clarity on how this will work. This is my understanding as well. As an overseas fan I will still be able to watch all of our games, it'll just be on a different platform. It also states that for overseas fans all games that are not exclusively shown by Sky will be available. This was the same rule for iFollow. I assume by this that only if any of our 20+ live games are are chosen for the main event (which is unlikely) then that game wont be available on the new iFollow. Yes, listened to that podcast yesterday and it had a good explanation. I think they're right in that out of the 20 odd games a club in leagues 1 and 2 may be televised then about 17 or 18 of these will either be played at 3pm, evenings or the usual ko times for Christmas/Easter periods. So in reality we're probably only talking about 5 or 6 games being lunchtime kickoffs or Sundays.

All games are available on iFollow on the firestick with a VPN and a sufficient 'package'. So I'm told, anyway.......... Told by who as iFollow have been totally silent on what's happening next season? Yes, that's the point I was trying to make, not clear if iFollow will be available any more as a service for overseas viewers, irrespective of whether you're actually abroad or via a VPN.

So if abroad or on vpn, firestick, dodgy website all games will be avaliable if they aren't on sky+? I still think that's to be confirmed. The statement above mentions overseas fans will be able to watch games that aren't being broadcast on Sky but then goes on to mention various companies who will have streaming rights in different territories. No mention of iFollow whatsoever. Hopefully the IPTV guys will work it out but don't think we'll know for sure until the season kicks off.

Good first half at London Road. Posh looked good for Wembley when they took the lead but Oxford penalty right on half time has it nicely balanced.

Hearing that Luca Hoole wants to leave and is obviously out of contract, so best wishes always gave 100 %. Off to Newport I reckon.

I’m a bit confused with all this Sky stuff for the last few games. Is this on Sky Sports today or iFollow? Still iFollow for now, the Sky TV deal starts next season.

Ryan Loft just notched a vital goal for Vale, 1 up at Burton. Hope he's not heating up for facing us...

Does that mean we're no longer tin pot if we've lost our actually tin pot?

Hopefully our central midfield will have a bit more steel than in the home game when we were down to the bare bones. We'll need Finley to keep their Celtic loanee Lawal in check as he ran the game at the Mem. Fleetwood always seem to give us problems and will be desperate for the points, hoping Chrissy Martin can get revenge for his sending off and send them on their way to the drop, 2-1 away win incoming UTFG.

Derby definitely targeting the left side so far, Gordon going to be in for a long afternoon if he doesn't get any help.

I was wavering between a 2-1 win or defeat today so going to plump for 2-2 (as also think it's been a while since we had one of them). Lineup-wise, not too keen on our right back options as it would mean either moving Gordon over or bringing in Hoole, who's too rusty IMO to start this one. Sounds like Derby have fullback issue too and will likely go 3 at the back, I can see Taylor deciding to match up with them, so: Ward Crama Taylor Baggott Thomas Finley Conteh Vale Evans Martin Brown I think we are better suited to 4 at the back. Having Sinclair in front of Gordon gives him an outlet, rather than having to go back, or just have Martin to aim at. Luca looked very good in the 5 minute cameo a few weeks ago when he put in two thumping tackles and looked to drive forward. Hopefully he did well in the reserve game in midweek. His pace and height at full back could be an asset. Yes, agree that we have looked better with a back 4, just not sure if Hoole would be up to it today. I hope he can as I think there's a really good player in there, one who I really thought would kick on after the promotion season into a player we may have trouble keeping hold of. His development took a nose dive under the last fella so hopefully MT can bring the best out of him.

I'd be happy for a repeat of the only time I went to Orient back in 1982. 5-1 win with goals from Holloway (2), David Williams (p), Paul Randall, Mick Channon came on for the last 15 mins and set up the 5th for Graham Withey. Can't see a repeat today but a sneaky 2-1 could be on the cards. UTG!

Friend is retiring immediately and becoming DoF then? I must admit I thought he was going to be Head of Recruitment, but that is where our Chief Scout is going. Interesting! Yeah, didn't see that one coming, the retiring immediately and getting the DOF job. Like you say, sure it had been mentioned that Friend would be heading up recruitment.
