    Doyle doesn't break up play, that's half the problem with him this season - he barely makes a tackle mainly because his ground speed is so slow. It's part of the reason he sits so deep, League 1 is too quick for him and he gets bypassed if he ventures too far up the pitch. His game now is all...

    Luton have been on a good run, unbeaten in 8 and top of the form table but they've played some teams in dire form (Yes, yes, I know, I know!) and haven't done well against anyone in the top 9 home or away. Their record is quite like Wycombe's last year - smashing the poor teams, especially at...

    Luke thomas - massive concern

    Mostly down to confidence for me and the type of chances we were creating. We need a few weeks of playing with the core from yesterday, the midfield was so much more dynamic and we were getting bodies in the box. We will create more chances per game without Doyle in there and the goals and...

    The formation/shape was as good as it has been all season yesterday. For the first time in a long time we created 4 or 5 genuinely good chances to score, not just 1 or 2 and the odd half chances. Yes we needed to play a little higher 2nd half but for the first time this season we had a...

    Burge 5 - Terrible decision to come out for the ball for both his booking and the first goal. Incredible save just before the goal though. Hope it doesn't dent his confidence too much because he's been very good this season. Sterling 6 - Looked ropey for the first 10 minutes but grew into the...

    Thomas missed a sitter from 6 yards out and JCH a 1 on 1.

    Rubbish. Played well all game. 2 horrendous individual mistakes.

    Did brilliantly to get there. That header forward was weighted perfectly. Got to hit the target once he's got there.

    Well I just mean that I think the overall performance has deserved an undisputed win. :)

    Would be nice to get a 2nd just to stop them banging on about the foul on Cook not given in the 1st half.

    Not much. I'd put Bayliss wide and bring Ogogo on now, with Kelly off for Doyle on 80. 2 Jack Grimmer Sub 15 Dominic Hyam Sub 8 Michael Doyle Sub 16 Abu Ogogo Sub 18 Jonson Clarke-Harris 63' Sub 11 Jordy Hiwula-Mayifuila Sub

    Shipley looks like he's tiring rapidly too. Still running hard but decision making/execution dropping off. Might need to change him too.

    I don't normally get angry with refs, really tough job and they're usually just a bit shit rather than actively bias but this fella has my blood boiling.

    Unusually negative for you! Don't think it's that bad. We're just a little too deep and Walsall have come out like a team 1-0 down. Needs early changes today. Jch on would be my choice, Doyle on at 80.

    Learned from the Fleetwood game too, players warming up before the kick off instead of just wandering back out after a 15 minute break.

    Sterling ran straight across the back of his legs. Can't believe this ref - he's reffed Prem and Champ for most of the season, wouldn't tell. David Coote will be the man in the middle of the Sky Blues clash against The Saddlers in Sky Bet League One action. So far this season, David has...

    Kelly has won a few balls 10 yards inside their half too, with actual tackles. It's not happened for weeks. Previously we were only getting the ball back on the edge of our own area when the opposition surrendered it and then breaking. Now Walsall have to think twice before committing too many...
