Some really good performances. As has been said particularly Jensen, O'Connor and Mandroiu. A good word for both Sorenson and Erhahon who were a bit below par on Saturday but were also outstanding. Feel Draper is just trying too hard and is snatching at chances at the moment. He has proved he...

Jorge Grant what a great player and pleasure to watch. Some people would use show pony as a term of abuse or ridicule but then some people called Ronaldinho a show pony

It is perhaps fitting that injuries have again been the stumbling block. Ironically this time it is in the midfield with us having so many available attacking options that we are trying to accommodate them elsewhere. We have done incredibly well to cope with those midfield injuries but seem to...

Thoroughly enjoyable evening. Players want to express themselves and so credit to the coaching staff as they certainly look like they are enjoying themselves now and have been freed from the shackles. Obviously getting better players back from injury and better players in has been a major...

"I hope we are not going to just use Draper as simply a target man and lump 20/80 balls up to him all the time" That's what I put after his first game back against Wycombe and when we do that he will struggle. Taylor and Draper were exceptional in the league below. I don't believe the step up...

Well ..it's a personal thing but funnily enough I do feel sorry for any club that has been badly mismanaged or owned by a crook as the soul of a football club are the supporters. As an example I know quite a few supporters of Darlington, from my time in the north east, who hated Reynolds but...

Yes but to balance that out there was a time when they played the Captain Pugwash music whenever they scored

Am sure it's not a sentiment that everyone agrees with but I felt sorry for Fleetwood. If you are scrapping for your survival the last thing you need is a blatant officiating mistake like that. The sending off did make the difference, not because they were the better team before it but they had...

The referee assessment panel checking and approving another performance by Jeremy Simpson

Pleasantly surprised with this Someone started that rumour about Grant, which was probably always a non starter, but this would have been the next best. There are less than three months left of the season. Have been plenty of loan signings in League 1, some will hit the road running but many...

So the answer to whether we are better at the end of January than December is a resounding yes. Peterborough and Derby are really good teams so to go toe to toe with them in an energised and entertaining way is a huge improvement. Defensively we have always been strong. Must say I was...

Credit to the players today they were all outstanding. I was worried we would be vulnerable today to their wide players and although at times we were I thought on the whole we coped ok. If we persist with 4 at the back though I still wouldn't mind a bit more depth and quality at full back...

I was genuinely shocked how poor we were in the first half after having the extended break. Others have already covered a lot of the points I would have made but it certainly wasn't a conventional 4-4-2, although with the players selected it could have been and probably should have been...

Hopefully if we persist with 5 at the back then Duffy has done enough to be first choice on the left. He did OK defensively bearing in mind he was up against CJ Hamilton and gives much more going forwards. If Sorensen's injury puts him out then Burroughs could move to the right...unless his...

Captain hindsight the undefeated champion of opinions. It would have been best for him to have played at Southampton and then a decision made. It was a non contact injury today which is concerning but he walked off the pitch unaided so that would be more reassuring. Jay Benn's latest injury...

Thank you Liam. Hope you didn't feel like that was something you had to post but it's a really detailed and extremely laudable post. One of the great successes over the last few years has been the expansion and transition in the demographic of the supporter base and football supporting is great...

Yes indeed. He is a diamond of a player and it's not just his goals. You only have to look at the set up for Walsall's 1st and 3rd goals yesterday I didn't think he should have gone out on loan again at the start of the season which I still believe but conversely I would now agree with you about...

The Model depends on the younger players developing and improving with the club and for the club as financial assets. Almost to a man they are not doing that at the moment and that would be the worry. We do however have a diamond of a player on our books and we will sell him for a lot of money...

It all seems a bit odd at the moment. Nothing epitomises that more than starting a game with one player up front in a game you need to be on the front foot from the start whilst having four forwards on the sub bench. The argument that none of the subs are good enough is one but somebody has...

Well done Jules You should be really proud of what you have done with this forum
