Burton Albion v Barnsley - Paul Walker

Lynsey Hipgrave and Sone Aluko chatted over the clips from Friday's Brentford v Fulham game, despite it having been live on Sky Sports. So not only did they not use their commentary, but we didn't hear any of their post-match interviews either.
While I always like to see shows like this getting an active player into the studio - and with Sone having played and scored for Fulham he was a good choice - I really do find having pundits talking over the first and only showing of action to be annoying. With the pundits attempting to provide analysis, you simply don't get the information as to which players are on the ball in the clips you are seeing that you would get either from a commentary or a regular voiceover report. With them having 45 minutes after commercials, surely there would have been time for both a proper edit of this game and then some analysis? I know I bring it up all the time on here, but while generally I rate Football on 5 highly, this is probably the one aspect of TV sports coverage that annoys me more than anything else.
