Mentioned on another thread that Stoke have a cup Q final v Spurs on 23rd (so we will get a bit more rest than their team). I'd switch McCallum over to the right (he did well there before) and bring Giles to the left (rest Dabo). Agree it's too soon to risk Godden, so whoever is fit from Max or...

For clarity, I think Hamer is still out against Stoke ( please correct me if I'm wrong!)

That's what I meant to be honest. I'm sure he'll give him a break when we play Norwich in the cup, and hopefully a whole week off will help. I've just realised Stoke have a Cup Q final at home to Spurs on Wednesday (23rd) before they play us on 26th (so that is a bit of a bonus, in terms of them...

I'd take Chef Evans in a heartbeat, my wife is bang average at cooking, and although his stubble might prickle in bed, if he can knock up a decent cheese and mushroom omelette, I'm in. Edit: sorry Otis, I've just read back through the thread and you got there first ;)

Not that Dabo is up to speed yet, but on a lot of occasions he and McCallum were out by the touchline and instead of being able to take the ball in their stride, they had to stop and check in case the ball bobbled, which it often did. The pitch was crap - although I wouldn't blame the defeat on...

Not being negative, but we could easily lose the next 2 games (Stoke are really tough, and PNE too) Fancy us to pick up something at Millwall (just a feeling). Will definitely be a meltdown if we do lose the next two. Just the way it is with supporters. Think we need to utilise Giles and his...

Fair enough Clint, but surely playing 2 up front (which a lot had called for) doesn't suggest he was playing for a draw or being negative. Giles aside, I'm not sure how he could have set up with a more attacking line up.

Part of the reason wingbacks couldn't push up today - pitch was crap, so first touch was often uncertain and tentative. Fankaty is not 'right' and Sam was marking their quickest player (albeit he was pants). I would have liked Giles on to run at them, and we missed Hamer. Don't really think MR...

That bit ok. The rest makes no sense - if he was playing for a draw, why go 2 up front from the off. The only real difference I would have done, would have been Giles for Dabo, from the off. That said, he picked as attacking a team as we had available. Players are knackered. It's obvious and...

But were obviously capable of much better, as the 5 games after us showed.

...and Derby unbeaten in 6.

He had a good game today imo.

Don't disagree, but you could take 3 players out of at least half of The Championship teams and say they are average/poor. Think January will be more about bulking up squads for a lot of teams. Keep Hamer fit and get Godden back and we'll be fine. Won't be easy, but we'll end up above Wycombe...

Id agree with that, although pitch was crap for receiving a ball wide on the touchline. Thought Sam did ok, but (and I'm banging on about it) Fankaty needs a rest to recover to what we know he can be. Baka didn't disrupt their backline. I'd sooner have a Bapaga running at people ( if Baka can't...

Sorry - but people saying we went for a 0-0, when he went 2 up front. MR's fault that Walker got injured? So glad Godden didn't pick up a knock. We attacked way more than they did (even if it was ineffective) - that's not playing for a draw. I wanted Giles on much earlier, but hey ho.

Disagree totally. No way were they comfortably better than us. We had key players missing. Did our players put in a shift - yes. Did they doen tools - no. Pitch was crap. and the game was poor, but we had a go. The bit I will agree with, is that we didn't really look like scoring in that second...

Would never have bought Godden on. Too risky for me. Save him (particularly with Walker injured) Come on City!

Where was the free kick taken versus the foul? Seems like moved forward a lot. Frustrating and expect a meltdown, but players putting on a shift. Get Giles on for Dabo please.

The pitch is naff and a few players are running on empty. Fankaty, we all know, is one hell of a player, but he is trying to play without breaking down (fair play to the guy). We can all see that Wednesday are very ordinary, but we can also see that we have a lot of players who are fatigued. get...

How many times is the ref going to let Dunkley head the back of Biamou's head? I'd try and get Giles on the pitch. not sure how with it Max is - maybe Bapaga as a loose cannon, or Shippers in midfield, and let O'Hare move up with Baka. Take a draw with all these knocks, even though Wednesday...
