Will they have to spend time on a barge waiting for their visas? Will we have to wait until the end of the season for the Home Office to process them?

Has anyone looked at the match highlights on the MFC website. There are several views of the disallowed goal, including from just behind the goal line, and I'm not convinced the ball was fully over the line when Crooks crossed it.

The issue to me seems to be a lack of discipline or cohesion in our centre backs, inasmuch that when we get caught out by a breakdown in our attack we have two of our centre backs too far upfield.

If one overlaps down the left the one on the right drops back and vice versa.
