    Really really hope Derby go down. Come on Swansea!

    Wasps & Hummel Deal

    Bit odd having your kit made by Bumblebees when you're called Wasps.

    Todays games

    Rotherham have failed to score in 12 of their last 18 games. Really think they are done. Down to Wednesday to get something at Forest to make their final game with Derby interesting!

    Bayliss - PNE perspective

    Would have absolutely thrived in one of the AM roles in the box formation deployed the season after he left. People panned him in the first season back in L1 when he was asked to play alongside Doyle, whose legs were absolutely gone relative to the level, in one of the 2 deep roles of the...

    Ben Wilson

    We're bad enough judges of the players we do see every week, nevermind those from other clubs!

    Allen

    He reminds me of Lameiras in some ways. Not in terms of of his skill or technical ability but rather that he's the type of player that needs a quite specific style of play built around him for him to prosper. Moving the ball direct into the strikers and expecting him to feed off knock downs or...

    Wonder what it is that MR is partial to that has caused his weight gain over the last few seasons? Any guesses? I reckon he likes a twix with his cup of tea on the training break and picks up a Steak bake on the way home each day.

    We've been unlucky to have this useless ref again today, we had him for the Swansea game too, another bunch of grade A shysters.

    Absolutely devoid of any quality on both sides this game and smacks of end of season! Proper hard watch!

    No idea how they haven't got any yellows yet for the persistent fouling, especially on O'Hare.

    Transfer Rumour Scott Twine

    Oh man, what a position we are back in as a club, able to compete again to sign all the starlets from L1 and L2 rather than worrying about losing our own for a pittance. So exciting, makes me feel like a 14 yr old, not 40!

    Sam Mccallum

    Well I meant hindsight execution between forum members, not of the player. A lot of people now gloating saying 'I knew these players were great' when they were genuinely poor for periods. My point was that there is often a myriad of reasons for that, especially in the young ones, rather than...

    Sam Mccallum

    There's been a lot of hindsight execution on the forum in the last few days (James, Gyokores, McCallum etc) but he was below par for a run of games around the time Giles left, has been solid for much of the season either side of that, and has been excellent for the last few matches. Some people...

    Gyökeres

    I'll go against the grain and say I'm still not 100% convinced by him and don't think he's anywhere near as big or physical as made out to be. Yesterday's goal was a lovely finish but the build up to it was pretty clumsy and Stoke's defending of him was terrible, they got nowhere near him. It's...

    Kelly and McFadzean

    Don't think there's anything wrong with McFadz passing, perhaps his split second decision making but not the actual execution, if we're going for a more direct, aggressive style I think the danger of mistakes and the need to be great on the ball becomes greatly reduced. Just not going to get...

    Not just 9 points clear of Rotherham meaning they need to win 3 of their remaining 6 fixture JUST to catch us, but 5 clear of Derby too on the same number of games. 1 more point and this season is done.

    Still a long time to go in this game and we're starting to fall deep and the midfield is stretched. Be brave defence!

    He's starting to fade though, must be Godden time soon though wouldn;t be surprised to see Bakayoko in a game like this
