Simms really is an intelligent striker. His game is clearly making runs in behind and not running channels. Great performance by him tonight. I think with players like Torp behind him he will excel.
fair play to Tavares too. Two well taken goals. A front 2 may be a good change we can make in a game we are chasing.

Maybe even a 442 diamond could be good, Sheaf sitting, Eccles (or Allen) and Torp CM and O’hare or Palmer at the top of the diamond
I mean long term when sheaf and Sakamoto is back we will play 433. For the time being I wouldn’t mind us playing a back 5 with O’Hare behind 2 strikers
Job done.
Luton at home so I can see Kelly flatten Barkley.

I agree although I think we play better with 4 at the back, 442 could be in order if we go 2 up top. But 532 has served us well in the past so you never know
1 game away from Wembley……Sod that 2 games away from potential European football!!!!
Do! Do! Do! Do! Sexy football

Palmer, O’hare, Wright can all play there although instead of wingers they’d be advanced midfielders or wide forwards
Palmer is such a good player. I know it's Maidstone and the usual on here will say he only plays well against the good sides but he's a joy to watch at times. So strong and powerful on the turn. He's very close to being a top Championship player.
3 assists tonight is class.

The only reason he’s in the Championship is inconsistency and unable to last 90 minutes, if he could and was consistent he’d be a lower PL player

It will always be the Ricoh Arena
Think their manager was class, when Maidstone finished their warm up he ran to the Sky Blues fans and applauded them before joining his team in front of the away supporters.
Looking at the pre match interviews etc he is a really rounded guy. Loves the game and is thankful for what he has. Wish him well for the future. Might change when I get through fast forwarding and see what he says post match but some how I doubt it

The main reason is his injury record. If he could play for longer periods he would be at a higher level. There's no doubt about his ability in my view.
Pleased to see the boards advertising Legends’ Day for last Saturday against PNE. Is it too late to sign up?
or Palmer. I get people remember us struggling to win games with that system earlier in the season but if MR goes with it, I'm quietly optimistic.
Also whoever started “You can shove your fucking phone lights up your arse” I’d like to buy you a beer.
Don’t know. Don’t want to know. Just glad to see the fans put a stop to it. They went out pretty quick once the chant started up. Lovely stuff.
