I thought Stretton looked decent. A young player who looked natural on the ball.

You would think owners would learn from sacking managers who are optimising what they have within the time they have. Whenever I see him being interviewed he comes across as astute, calm and respectful. Need more people like him in the game.

I liked Newton. Thought he looked the better of the two when Reid stayed and he went. Definitely more of a wingback than LB.

Not really. I would swap Hamer for anyone of our midfield - Sheaf included

Think he is very comfortable on the ball and his diagonal long balls are quality. They only thing I was unsure about was his physicality but he showed he had this v Man Utd, and he is still very young. Think he would be a great signing but I don't think it will happen.

If we think of Tyler and Bell, surely they would be an improvement on what we have witnessed recently??

I think it will be difficult getting Collins out. Surely no club in the championship would want him and he isn't likely going to take a pay cut to join a team in L1 or 2. I think we are stuck with him. We don't want to have another season with 3 senior keepers so think Wilson would be the one...

Did anyone spot Kitching for the lap of appreciation? I didn't. Saw most the other squad, including those injured.

Not sure who would be willing to pay a fee though. Think Wilson would be more attractive to other teams as a number 2 due to his character. Don't see any of that from Collins. I have never seen a keeper play so badly, so repetitively and not be dropped.

It wasn't as if it was in the corner

Both goals would not have been if we had a championship keeper in goal. Goalkeepers should make themselves look big. Collins makes the goal look big. If you are unsighted from distance, move your fucking feet so that you are not. He is absolutely atrocious and has been in far too many games.

Always seemed extremely professional in and out of the team. His positional sense / reading of the game has always been superb and sometimes overlooked by those only interested attacking stats.

Both Wright and Simms certainly need to improve on basics. I do think Simms is. Not so sure about Wright. Moore is very good holding the ball up and keeping the ball close when doing so. Wright and Simms have pace though which is such an asset now. Goal contributions from the pair have been...

It isn't just the defence that causes the defensive issues. A Sakamoto type player either side of a number 9 would help. Good going forward but willing to help out the full-backs. I don't think having Wright on the left is going to work long term if we don't want to continue to ship goals. He...
