    Felt sorry for O'Hare today. Thought he was carrying the front line. The only player with any urgency or creativity. Great cross for Gyokeres chance. Robbed of a penalty. Otherwise we were toothless. Could say the same about Cardiff but two moments of poor defending were penalised but decent...

    Weather going to be horrible on the weekend too - strong winds and rain. Even more sapping on their energy levels.

    Trouble / Segregation at the CBS

    Cocaine use across the country has increased as has football violence so I think it is a reasonable comment to make. It sickens me seeing mindless violence. There is some irony in your aggressive comment!

    I thought O'Hare was better yesterday. Some nice moments where he turned well and was a little more direct with his running. With regards Maatsen, I would be delighted to have him again next year. He has done well playing an unfamiliar position and I liked the way he took on the shot early and...

    Trouble / Segregation at the CBS

    Get sniffer dogs in at all grounds to deter this seemingly rising trend of cocaine use at football grounds and start banning anyone provoking or behaving with violence.

    I get your second point but regarding the first, Allen has been one of the best players on the pitch in a number of games only to find himself on the bench the game after. Shipley's decent performances have been at LWB. He has been awful in midfield time after time after time.

    Unfortunately I do think we will see much more of him because Robins doesn't appear to see what 99% of fans see. If he does feature I hope it is at LWB with Maatsen AM.

    I am not sure what Robins sees when Shipley plays in midfield. If I was Allen or Jones I would be stunned and furious to see him being preferred ahead of them. Allen has had some really decent performances and Jones has not been given a chance from the start. I assume Shipley will probably start...

    Yet he trusts Shipley.

    Thought Hyam was excellent second half. Gyokeres was a nuisance for their defence. Otherwise it was a dire performance but 3 points is what matters. Jamie Allen should have come on much earlier. Shipley did nothing but give the ball away. How can he possibly be a better option than Allen or Jones??!

    Jodi Jones

    We have been struggling all season for a goal-scoring midfielder and he we have a player who has a first team hattrick to his name (albeit pre-injuries and lower league). He has shown in his cameos that he has variation, such as a reverse pass, and rarely gives the ball away. Going against him...

    Josh Eccles injury

    Whatever happens with Kelly, the guy deserves enormous respect for what he has achieved with us and his contribution to where we are now. His knee injury was typical of his defensive commitment - colliding with the post to protect our goal.

    Josh Eccles injury

    If he is let go in the summer with a year left on his contact I cannot imagine there will be a fee involved. I still believe he will offer us value as a squad player. He is ideal coming off the bench to hold a lead. The problem with us though is we are not often in that position having to come...

    At this rate young Howley may need to step up ahead of time.

    Kelly has had a torrid time as well. Hasn't been the same since his knee injury and now the hamstring. Another blow to our squad depth.

    I really hope not. The fans this season may well have influenced players signing new contracts and others to follow - Hamer and Clarke-Salter. It is frustrating how little points we have gained from games we have dominated, but the effort of the team has been incredible all season. The crowd...

    Josh Eccles injury

    Out for 8 weeks. Such a shame for him and for the team. He had settled really well into an unfamiliar position and arguably would rival Kane and Dabo there, as well as provide cover in midfield. He has so much potential. I just hope his injuries don't jeopardize his chances.
