Goddens USP is scoring. Its seemingly been previously accepted that as long as he scores we can live with him not offering much else. But a) it seems to take him more chances to score now and b) if we want to be in the promotion hunt we cannot carry a player like that. Can still be used in a...

Two big big chances missed at the end. We fucked ourselves really. Four points dropped from last two games. It’s not over but it’s a massive massive shitter.

Impact of Sheaf has been massive. He’s so so good.

Few individuals worse, few better, but overall as a team we just haven’t been good enough so far. Other than one counter attack, we’ve barely played any football at all. Maguire not offering much, but it’s being exacerbated as neither are the front two. Gyokeres attempting to but he’s being...

Wilson having a good game. His level of confidence from when he first became No1 to now is great to see.

1) Weather is absolutely horrendous! Any chance it’s called off? Guess it depends on how the pitch handles it. 2) Wigan look a decent side and have played some decent stuff so far.

Got to score.

Pleased with that team, and especially Burroughs over BNC, as a) he’s better and b) he’s our player. Hope Walker gets a decent run out tonight.

I get all that Pete, and I also know as a poster you are always quick to the defence of players and the team, which is great. In this case however, it isn’t needed - it wasn’t jumping on his back, but as ferret said it’s a surprise he’s out. Clearly I hope he has an absolute stormer today (and...

I get that, but sort of disagree. It’s not just the beer, I imagine it’s not the usual chilled and easy going pre game night. Plus they’ll likely be back late - especially if they do the niceties after etc - so won’t get an ideal sleep. Sounds silly, but small things really matter these days...

Unfortunately I remember every single one of those players! Always liked Stokes, he was a steady, solid and reliable LB but was never going to make the journey to Championship play off contenders with us. He absolutely loved/loves the club too which is always good to see. Stevenson is the...

Birthday weekend; tried my best to persuade my partner to come, even offered to watch it away from my usual ST seat and in a box, but she was having absolutely none of it. So instead I’m bringing a few mates in addition to the usual crowd I go with. One of whom is a Man U fan who has been to...

Notts County away, L2 play off semi final - every single time. Best live game I’ve been to. Unreal game, unreal atmosphere, and really a significant milestone in our recent history.

We are absolutely in the play off hunt now. I said it on the match thread - despite the depleted squad I genuinely think we have a decent enough chance of scraping 6th. Absolute testament to MR and the team. Excited end to the season ahead!

Despite the increasingly depleted squad, we’re very much in the play off race. Fantastic effort from MR and the team. We’re in for an eventful and exciting end to the season. Considering the continuous adversity we’ve faced this season, a top sixth finish would feel even sweeter. Bring on Hull!

How are people getting 4-4-2 out of that? It’s the normal formation but with no natural 10 and a striker who’s contribution outside of the box is minimal. Hoping two more offensive wing backs balances it out a bit. Interested to see Howley, but disappointed it’s at the expense of a 10. Dabo...

Going to be tougher than expected and we all know it’ll be horrible hoofball and dirty tactics. However, despite our massively bad luck with injuries we have the team to win. I would stick to the formation too, as it does work, but I would prefer the unknown Maguire in a 10, rather than JWE who...

Draw is disappointing on paper. But finishing the game with a LWB playing as an AM for 45 and being entirely ineffective and non-existent for most of the half, plus a striker who’s barely had a look in all season, it’s a good result.

Burroughs is far superior to BNC and he’s actually our own player!!!

To be fair, it’s clearly not his position, and he has barely played mens football, but JWE looks absolutely lost and we’re effectively playing with 10 men. Having the ball with the whole pitch ahead of you and space to run into, is entirely different from getting the ball in tight spaces with...
