Simms needs to play CF, with Haji playing off him. Neither are suited to the lone CF role. MVE and Dasilva were excellent. Collins solid. Nothing to do, but some good distribution. Sheaf was rusty, but was starting to get his rhythm in the last 15. Kitching was a little reckless, but he was...

Assumming Wilson is not ready, I was hoping he'd throw the young lad Bell in. Collins is sure to be a wreck mentally tonight. Bit of a risk.

Grimes has looked good. Best to imagine how the results would of gone without him playing the last 10 games or so. Hopefully Sheaf starts Weds, as I am looking forward to seeing these two as a partnership

I liked Wegerle. He was inconsistent and struck me as needing a lot of "Man Management" to get the best out of him. Gould certainly couldn't do that. Phil Neal got a tune out of him once Gould left during the remainder of that 93-94 season. His performance at Spurs on New Years Day 1994 was...

Thought Burrows did all right for us. Solid. After watching his predecessors like Steve Morgan, Paul Edwards, and Kenny Sansom, he was a clear upgrade. Although to be fair to Sansom, he was 33 when he joined us, and his best years were behind him. Out of all those early Big Ron signings I had...

I remember him coming off the bench in his 2nd season with ( after being injured for over a year since signing) Within 5 mins he was hobbling off with McCallister shouting dogs abuse at him at the time. He never played again.

They were a lot better than us last night, but we were the better team back in the reverse fixture in November. Team and formation didn't work, the midfield 3, and Haji down the middle. Wilder prepared his team to nullify all our threats. In hindsight Frank should have switched to a back 5...

Yes, awful news. I liked the way he spoke when he came in, and thought he was building a decent team (Keogh, King etc). Would of been interesting to see had he not been sacked, if he would of kept us up the following season. Instead we got Andy Thorn

Haji will be roughed up by the Sheff U CB's. Wilder will make sure of that. Danger man. Haji seems to know how to look after himself though, and his lesser performances are not based on defenders intimidating him from what I've seen.

We are technically a good squad. We showed against Wolves, Spurs (albeit a 2nd string side) and Man U that we can compete. I think players like Dovin, MVE, Torp, Grimes, Sheaf, Wright, Sakamoto and EMC could perform in the Premier League. I am sure Frank would of assessed that before taking the job.

I'm still a fan of Simms, but Wright has the CF shirt now. Remember that Luton game though, they played as front 2 and terrorised The Hatters, both scored too. Simms then picked up a niggle and Wright got crocked for 4 months 2 weeks later. Still think that would be lethal partnership moving...

Not sure I noticed a massive dip in his performances earlier this season. He wasn't at his best early on, but not many players were. Saying that though, great to see him hitting form again.

Finally we have a nasty Centre Back who will seek revenge...Kitching laid one on that Sheff Weds winger (Dolin I thin) who left a stud in Saka's knee earlier in the season at the CBS (given as accidental....)

Goodman is excellent. Very fair. Knows the game. I remember Mark Lawrenson on co-comms on the BBC (for all the big games). His continuous sarcastic one liners, and languid style were a tough match

We normally bounce back well from a defeat. I wouldn't be changing back to 3-5-2, especially at home. Maybe look at it for the Sheff U or Burnley games. I think Allen deserves a start (for Eccles) and Dasilva in for Bidwell, EMC for Wright.

We didn't play to Simms strengths yesterday. Wright was even more anonymous when he took over. I would of brought on BTA as the CF. Despite him being at fault for Stoke's first goal, he looked bright. He's no winger though.

It's far too soon to be welcoming back Mark Robins to the CBS as an opposition manager. I actually thought he'd take the season off and evaluate offers come the summer. It's annoying as we're now in a Play Off Hunt, and what should on paper be a winnable game becomes more complex. MR will be...

Still a useful player to throw on last 10-15 mins if you need a goal. He won't be here come June

He scored a beauty last season at Sheff Weds
