So many close calls.

We look like shite

We miss Kitching and need to get Palmer in soon

Hopeless so far

I don’t know how many minutes the gamesmanship I suggested will add to the clock, but at least it alleviates the immediate pressure on the defence after an onslaught of attacks that come in waves. Basically it breaks up the momentum and forces the opponent to start all over again and buys us...

Oh wasn’t sure. Thought he’d be back

Wilson, Fadz, JDS, Kitching, Binks, Allen, Kelly, Eccles, Ayari, Godden, Simms. Didn’t want to play Ayari but I think and hope he can at least play against a League 1 team. This lineup should hopefully be competitive enough against a good L1 team that’s pushing for promotion.

I agree we need to get better at shithousing late in games when we have the lead. Rolling on the ground like you got shot, late substitutions just to waste time, taking the ball to the corner flag and dawdling on it, taking your own sweet time to take goal kicks (which Collins has been trying to...

Only potential change I might make is Lati for Sheaf. Otherwise ok.

I remember that hoofed clearance and was wondering why we simply gave the ball back to them. If Simms or someone had busy a lung to get onto it and just held the ball up near the corner flag that might have just been enough.

Could potentially add Allen to the mix based on his last few poor displays. After last summer’s clear out I bet these will be next on the chopping block.

Exactly. If he scored 7 in 17 for Sunderland, he has it in his locker. C’mon produce the goods damn it. We’ve figured out how to get Wright to be productive. Now we need to figure out how to get Simms to do what he did last season. Consistent game time is one thing, but what else is needed?

I get that. What I meant is there’s exceptions to your example as well.

Really want us to go for it and get 3 points like we did against Sunderland (where I was hoping for at least a point). Very tough match this one and the next. Bidwell back please and Palmer in place of Allen to start along with COH. MVE to start at RWB and Lati to move to midfield in place of...

McNally had a loan spell and didn’t return, JCS had a loan spell and a relationship with Adi and didn’t return. Things change and people change their minds sometimes as well. Sure there’s examples of people staying where they are as well. Oh well.

All I am asking for from Simms is to make a nuisance of himself to opposing players, keep them occupied/concerned, track back and try harder. I am seeing that from Wright now and not previously when he was a carbon copy of what Simms still is. Right now there’s I see zero effort from Simms...

Whittaker instead of Simms would have been a much better and cheaper option than Simms. Strong, pacy and scores goals. Alas hindsight is 20/20 and we’re stuck with Simms who offers very little. There were one or two games like against Huddersfield where he was trying hard. Nowadays he just jogs...

Teams target JDS for a reason. He’s so short and not very fast that you can easily lob the ball over him and have a pacy winger outrun him. Coincidentally our recent good run of form started after JDS was removed from the starting lineup and Bidwell took his place. As for the midfield, I think...

Only if we get 3 points away to Boro will I accept this draw with Swansea. We squandered an opportunity today. I don’t think there are many other teams out there that are as charitable as we have been vs Swansea and Huddersfield. Think we’ve given up around 10 or more points from winning...

I don't care how tired Bidwell, COH, MVE, Saka, Lati and today's version of Palmer are, but they have to play 90 mins. No rest allowed because we don't have ideal replacements. Godden, Allen, JDS need to find new teams. Sheaf makes suicidal mistakes that really get on my nerves, If we find a...
