One thing that lets this side down is the total lack of ability with a dead ball. Throw ins? We’ve always been poor and the ball often gets turned over. Why hasn’t this been addressed in coaching? Corners and wide free kicks? Wasted more often than not. Hamer was an exception to the rule but...

Just looking back at what we thought was going to happen a few years back. Doom and gloom. Average attendance will be about a 50 year high of 24000 this season (Leeds game and play off run in will boost a bit) and we are competing up in the upper reaches of the Champ. Happy days.

I mentioned before that Collins has a habit of just hoofing long - particularly problematic when we had Godden and JDS and Tats up front in the main. Wilson seems a bit more quick to spot and bowl out. Not saying he’s a better keeper, just stronger in some areas whereas it seems the stats show...

Collins v Plymouth. He had a habit of not adapting to the players on the pitch. Long punts to the left hoping JDS would win an aerial duel was simply bonkers for example. Wilson kept a clean sheet so I see him starting against Preston. I wonder who Robins picks for the cup now?

Toro banging in a screamer on his debut probably settled him a bit quicker.

Just watched it - didn’t see the deflection live. To me, MVE showed him too much room and the deflection did for Collins. On first showing, as stated, it do look like the near post wasn’t covered.

Collins 5 Conceded 2 and not sure he was properly covering his near post for their second. The replay highlights might show. The tactic of hoofing long balls for Godden and JDS to try to head seems a bit mad. MVE 6 Didn’t quite click for him tonight. Maybe missed having Saka to link with...

We have too many on the goal line and no one to follow up around the penalty spot. Needs looking at.

Cmon. Still time for a winner.

Obvious really.

Lati needs to come off. Booked and now giving free kicks away after. ticking.

Lati should have closed him down there.

That’s better. Need to go for the win. Eccles for Lati - freshen it up.

The long ball to JDS was the start of their move. Why?
