    They've been noticeable wider today for a lot of the half. Can't see on the tv angle if it's Bristol's shape dictating it or a tactical choice. Absolutey acres of space in the middle though between Kelly and Godden.

    It used to be an instant yellow for pulling a player back after he'd beaten you. They've got away with at least 4 so far and noticed it going unpunished in previous games too.

    Not won in the league for 4 games, scoring only 1 goal which was home to Wimbledon (before conceding twice in the 2nd half). Think they'll collapse if we get an equaliser.

    JCH will be all over McFadzean now too, he needs to be really careful.

    The Bristol players have forgotten to take the coat hanger out of their shirts.

    That was just as much Marosi and Walsh's fault as McFadzeans. Time and a place for knocking it around like that...

    No midweek game until the end of Jan as long as this match doesn't end in a draw, so should be able to get away with being unchanged again from a physical point of view. Just need a light load in the week for the starters. Would like to see Allen and Pask in 2nd half though if we're comfortable.

    Floored it back from the mountains to get back in time for this today, even knowing I wouldn't be able to watch and only listen as it's not on iFollow. Oops!

    No planned incoming activity

    No one but me worried by defensive midfield? If Walsh gets recalled and Kelly injured our formation would be screwed.

    The formation

    Even Kelly has had his 15 yard string attached to the Centre backs cut and is being allowed to get forward. The quantity of shots he's had from the edge of the box is a clear indicator of that. He’s had more in these away wins than I can remember him having all season. In fact he needs a session...

    The formation

    I also think the wing backs have been allowed to push on further up the pitch from the off too in the last 2 games, which has made a massive difference to the way we’ve started those games. It’s not a coincidence we’ve scored more goals in the first 20 minutes of the last 2 matches than we have...

    What a difference early goals and being clinical make. Scored 4 goals but didn't create that much on a very difficult pitch. 3 other chances in the match? Westbrooke miss first half, Godden's poor connection on the cross to back post and Walsh at the end of the team move?

    Really nice goal, composure from all 3 players involved in that. Well played Baka.

    How is the ref not booking these blatant cynical professional fouls? He should have carded about 6 players so far.

    These spells always happen when we defend the edge of our own 6 yard box. No-one ever defends as deep as we do when under pressure. I don't understand why we let ourselves get pushed back so far, you never see us screaming to get out the 18 yard box.

    Will be hard to slow it down with any confidence on this pitch. Think our best bet will be to score 4 as soon as possible!

    Offside trap not their strongest area then :woot: Loving the early goals in the last 2 games.

    Goal of the decade

    Biamou’s volley in the 6-2 Yeovil defeat was incredible technique, unfortunately the goal was not important so it doesn’t get the credit it deserves. Grimmer at Wembley?
