I understand Penfold had a slight knock - as did Hutchings. They were both there though. Cisse was missing as was Sol. So that is 4 central defenders out. So Lewis and a new face James Smith stepped in although I don't know how much football they have had. They haven't played pre season with us.

Colman also went off with an injury and from the look of him won't be playing Tuesday. Orisatoki also got a knock and would have been subbed if we had any subs left!

Don't forget that Newham have already had 2 league games and last season they finished 6th in the table - at step 5 - the same as us. And they have a gun striker who may be playing pro later this season.

So taking all that into consideration a draw wasn't too bad.

But 3-0 up we got the daft 2nd yellow and really failed to block up the middle of the park.

So was it a good result? Well, that will depend on Tuesday!

Apparently Lewis lives about 3 doors down from Jamie and they grew up together. I don't know if he's just signed for a short period to help out while we have a centre back shortage but if he has that's when good neighbours become good friends. I think there's a song in there somewhere 

He wasn't thinking.

You need a brain to think.

Three nil up against ten men and he kicks the ball away while already on a yellow card.

He is quite clearly brainless.
