21' Play resumes. Noone runs and Garbutt, cuts inside. He shapes up to place it in the bottom corner but it drifts wide.
31' Garbutt swings in a tempting cross, Cardiff clear. Parker attempts an ambitious volley which goes over.
48' Chance #FFC. Fredericks is involved straight away. He cross his cleared into the path of Garbutt who flashes wide.
68' Luke Garbutt is booked for a late tackle.
(although might have mistaken player here since it doesn't appear in match stats)

Garbutt is useless. His man marking his awful, and his crossing is beyond rubbish. When Ream is fit, he plays.

Garbutt punched. Just watched the highlights and noticed that the ball boy hits Garbutt after Parker's goal.

And who was the defender out muscled in the build up to the goal, Downing or Pennington? Embarrassing and O'Connor can't come back soon enough, he's a massive miss.
It was Pennington, shame as he was superb at times.

Wigan Athletic - Conor McAleny started and was subbed on 72nd minute in 1-0 home win over Coventry City
OS Match Report
"First Wildschut powered through from the right hand side after 30 minutes and was brought down on the edge of the box, Conor McAleny not able to beat the wall from the free-kick. McAleny then had a half chance as his powerful drive was blocked, then his deep cross from the left a minute later was headed wide by Barnett. McAleny had another effort deflected from the edge of the box which Reece Charles-Cook saved."
"Latics continued pressing, McAleny volleyed just wide on 52 minutes"
"64 minutes gone and McAleny is clearly brought down by John Fleck in the box. Grigg stepped up but despite his kick being low and in the corner, Charles Cook was down sharply to parry the ball to safety."

Quotes from
pre-match interview in local paper
"I have to say I’m really enjoying my loan period here at Wigan. I’m sure the staff back at Everton will have been watching how I’ve been doing, checking up on me. But at the moment I’m not really thinking about Everton. My head’s just fully focused on doing well for Wigan, and taking it game by game. As to what happens at the end of the season, I don’t know to be honest. I’ve still got another year at Everton after this, and it’s totally out of my hands. I’m just looking at this as the next chapter in my career. I’ll see where we end up at the end of the season, but it’s not something I’m thinking too much about. There’s far too much going on to be worrying about anything else."

Twitter stuff
25' Corner - U's. Kenny's ball forward for Hylton is good, but McNerney gets the block for the corner. 0-0
36' MacDonald hovers out on the wing arms outstretched, begging for the ball. Kenny sees him but his ball is wayward. 1-0
42' Mullins is on hand to clear a Crawley ball. The U's clear upfield-KENNY breaks into the area but isn't brave enough to shoot. 1-1
43' Kenny chooses the cross to Maguire, whose shot is way over the bar. Kenny will regret not taking the chance. 1-1

Only sorry that Jonjo didn't get the goal that his play deserved. I felt his frustration.
Kenny really seems to enjoying his time here.
Cambridge United - Ryan Ledson played full game in 1-0 away win over Newport County
OS Match Report
"With their offence slightly flat during the early stages of the game, the U’s quickly cranked up the pressure on the hosts after 20 minutes, and Coulson and Ryan Ledson would surely have both notched were it not for a point blank block from Scott Boden and a fine save by Newport keeper Joe Day in quick succession."
"Max Clark too had an opportunity to test the County shot stopper but pushed his attempt wide of the mark, after Ledson had cleverly picked out the Hull City youngster 18 yards out."
"Whilst Ledson also drilled an attempt over the Day’s cross bar shortly before the break, the U’s though finishing the half the stronger of the two sides."
Twitter stuff
20' Good ball in from Clark is flicked away but United come again and Legge can't quite get his feet right to take a shot from Ledson's ball
24' The U's have turned it on as Ledson crashes a shot into the palms of Day after a well-worked team move 0-0
29' Ledson picks out Max Clark in space centrally 18 yards from goal, the youngster swivels but pushes his shot away from goal 0-0
44' The U's break well and Williamson scuffs a shot into the path of Ledson, who drives an effort over the bar 0-0
Random fan comment
Ledson burrowed his way into the group midriff for a cuddle after the goal. Which was nice.

Liam Walsh is a plane above any other @YTFC player today. Superb, MOM by a mile today.
Another great ball by Liam Walsh - it would've set Campbell through on goal if he'd had a better touch
May as well give Liam Walsh man of the match now we all know he's got it
