Sheaf leaves with my thanks and appreciation for his part in moving the club forward to a place I thought unimaginable 10 years ago, and he deserves to be held in high esteem by our support because of that.

.... but BTA only scored 4 league goals himself last season! Having scored 2 this season those stats suggest we can expect a bit of a drought moving forward. Saka provides far more to the team. He gives us more balance, better coverage for our wing back, is more likely to provide assists and...

Hoping this is just a blip on Rushworth's part and that he will prove to be the keeper we'd hoped for when he signed. If this form continues though I can see us curtailing his loan in January if we are able and looking for an alternative. Apt for a keeper, but its in his hands!

Didn't mention the first goal! Not so sure it went through a gap in the wall as you say but it did go close to Torp who wasn't in the wall. The ball did swerve a bit and wasn't an easy save, but having got to it he might be disappointed to have not pushed the ball out wider. It was a bit unlucky...

Sorry, but he was badly at fault for the second goal. If your keeper positoned a wall so poorly playing Sunday League he would rightly get pelters, and if Wilson had done the same he would have been slaughtered on here. It was clear what Brannagan was going to try to do and he made it easy for...

The second goal today was criminal. Because we've been keen to put the regular Collins/ Wilson howlers behind us, Rushworth has pretty much had a free ride so far, but he has got to buck his ideas up soon or else we will be bracketing him with them. Watching at home it was obvious what Brannagan...

Fine, but don't include the Millwall game as being one of the last 2 games if you want to big up BTA's recent form! He deserves to keep his place at the moment, but he will have to continue his league form much beyond 2 games if he is likely to stay ahead of Saka in the long term.

We all know football doesn't always follow logic though. On paper and form we should win comfortably, but a combination of complacency, poor refereeing and bad luck could easily bite us on the arse. They are likely to try and get stuck into us so its important we are up for that battle, then...

I think it will be quite funny if some of the points hoarders who bought Millwall tickets but didn't go to the game end up missing out to people with less points ;)

To be fair Thomas-Asante only scored 4 league goals last season himself. I don't know for sure but if we are comparing like for like I presume Saka provided many more assists too. Sakamoto also operates well with MVE and provides us more of a defensive shield. I thought BTA was poor last night...

The examples you give are FA Cup. If we bow out of the FA Cup like we did tonight then I will be pissed off. Just don't feel the same about this competition. Will gladly sacrifice a defeat tonight if it means us beating Oxford on Saturday.

Some bedwetters on here were quoting QPR as having done good business in the Summer before the season started, quoting them as an example of what we were missing out on and should be doing. Just because they've signed more players doesn't mean they will be any good!

Am I the only one that thinks its a bit rich for point hoarders to try to sell on their tickets? They've got their points in the bag so take the hit, its hardly a fortune in this instance! If you want to get rid then have the decency to give the tickets away!

....... but if they think he's as crap as you do they wouldn't be in for him at all. If they are interested in signing him they must believe he can do a job in the PL, and if that's the case his market value is automatically higher than if the interest is only from the Championship.

The Match Thread is the gift that keeps on giving. Never really understand why anyone would want to post when a game is on, as I like to just concentrate on the game, but love reading back some of the comically premature comments :ROFLMAO:

He was unlucky in the 1st half with his left foot shot that went in after a foul given on Rudoni. Excellent technique even with his 'weaker' foot.

After this worked for them last season I think you're right. Hopefully are performance will not be as insipid as last season!

Firstly we are in a position at the moment of still having the team that finished 5th last season but with a better goalkeeper. Other teams bringing in new players is out of neccessity and doesn't neccessarily strengthen them as is widely thought on here. Stoke have signed a load of players...

I' don't think I'd sell even for 8m, and definitely not for £5m. There's a lot of naiveity on here about how easy it would be to bring in a good (and affordable) replacement. Of the possibles mentioned Hughes will be too costly and I suspect has his sights set higher than us anyway, and Doyle...

Yes, he idolised Beckham as a kid, which is just about the sum of it. Loved Son singing 'Sky Blue Army' :)
