    To be honest Marosi's distrabution has been part of our problem about giving possession away. He is a good keeper but does need to improve his distribution at this level. Occassionally go long. Just mix it up. If teams are intent on pressing us there will be space behind. Or just the...

    May as well give some subs a good 30 mins to stake a claim on a shirt. Also save some legs for Tuesday.

    Time to change it is with 20 - 15 minutes to go. Make the most of fresh legs. We need to just spoil this games for 30 mins. I don't care if we are not pretty just kill it.

    With 10 men it is going to be difficult. We just need to try and stay in the game. The time to go reckless is last 10 minutes.

    Its not as if its the first time he has raised his hands and pushed a player when beaten.

    Hamer suspension

    Jones. Always a good squad name to have registered.

    Jordy Hiwula

    Wiki stats often paint a fraction of the picture. To my mind he has plenty of ability - but again that only paints a fraction of the picture. Practically all professional footballers have ability - what divides the very good from the average and poor is mindset and mental strength. Two things...

    Freddie Eastwood is the worst professional I have ever seen for not striking a ball cleanly. It is what makes professional or ex professional footballers standout. Even ones who havent achieved much - they know where the balls sweet spot is and can ping it. Eastwood may as well have worn...

    Shipley

    Good point, things that worked in League One will be snuffed out more easily in the Championship. But it is a fine balance. You still need players to be brave enough to try things and not be detered. Otherwise you end up with a team playing safe negative passes and everyone is scared to...

    Strongest 11 after 6 games

    We have a relatively young squad. There is absolutely no reason why we should not try and coach players to adopt to different positions. Football coaches have a duty to develop the players under them and progress them as proffessionals. Being adaptable to a couple of positions can prolong a...

    Shipley

    I think playing out of position early on at a higher level was a big ask of a young player. He actually did ok and not as bad as some fans made out. I haven't got "he is one of kur own glasses on." I say it as I see it, just like I have defended Sheaf, Hamer, Rose and Hyam. In fact I haven't...

    Michael Rose

    Rose, Hyam, Ostigaard. All taking a step up. Give them time they are young players. All players can have a bad game or a run of iffy form. What is noticeable this season is how quickly teams can close you down and put the player on the ball under pressure. Last night I felt Marosi's...

    How many players?

    Brian Hill scored in Div 1 but had a 4 year drought I think due to being converted to a man marking defender?

    Shipley

    Concussion needs careful monitoring he will out for a few weeks I suspect. Shipley has stepped up well this season. Especially as he was forced to play out of position for a few games. He is a real team player, has a good eye for a pass and not afraid to take a shot on.

    Good draw against a very good side. We were slightly better side and looked more likely. We can take confidence from that. Still need to be a bit sharper in our basic passing.

    A goal, we are level, been the better side, can take a fair bit of confidence from that. Swansea are one of the top sides. I am pretty happy at half time.

    If you run at centre of defence it often causes defence to panic. Good goal by Swansea.
