Good professional performance, in what might have been a potentially tough night. Similar to the Oxford game, MR respected the competition, picked a strong 11 and had them well set up and on it from the first kick. Wilson 7 Lati 7 Thomas 7 Bidwell 7 Torp 7.5 Kelly 7 Tavares 5.5 Palmer 7.5...

^^ my thoughts too. Always seem to have it tough against these, so any sort of win will do - can’t see many goals so Simms with the decisive one.

Going on the inferences of some surprising selections, I’m minded to suggest we are possibly looking at: Collins Thomas, Kitching, Binks Lati, Eccles, Torp, JDS COH, Palmer Simms Not saying that’s what I would go with….. personally I’d stick with 4231 and hope he goes with MVE, Saka and Wright...

Collins, 7.5 - Not much he could do with either goal. Some good blocks, and distribution up on Sunday MVE, 5 - looked fatigued Thomas, 5.5 - inconsistent and one of those at fault for their first Kitching, 6.5 - solid enough for first game back Bidwell, 6.5 - similar to Kitching and solid...

Fair enough, I’ll need to watch it again…. From my angle on the sofa it Seemed to hit their man, canon into another of their defenders, and bobble into the corner. Ultimately doesn’t matter, it’s ended up in the net. Same result as a screamer from 30 yards.

Slightly flukey equaliser but well deserved. Overall thought we were the better team for most of the game in tough conditions; stats suggest same. Some inconsistent performances but bag the point, move on. Still in a play off spot but tightening up. Baggies the big winners from this round of...

Comical defending, coupled with Godden’s ineptitude to do what he’s paid for and we have it all to do. Changes needed, Mark. Saka and Haji for Godden and JDS, please

Quite enjoyed that. Open game which by my reckoning we’ve had the better of. Not everything has come off but overall this is ours to win, and think we still will. Sorry to say, but Godden’s miss was atrocious for this level, shocking.

Absolutely, as was the ‘light show’ - what was that about….

I see it as our regular 4231 Strongest back 4, and hopefully Collins has put Sunday behind him. Lati and Torp ahead of them Simms (right), Palmer (central), JDS (left), Godden. I’m surprising calm with the line up. Can see us keeping a clean sheet, and nicking 1, perhaps 2. Torp and Godden or...

Strange one: all seemed to be well off it to start with and Millwall bossed the first 30. Winning second balls, had the better of the midfield and Wright didn’t test their CB’s, full backs exposed. MR got it sorted and we played much better 2nd 45. Collins, 6 - not his most accomplished...

Arrived at 11.40 and thought it was going to be horrendous seeing the length of queue at our usual entry point, but turned out to be very quick. In seats just after 11.50 and had time to get food and drink… Good natured banter in the queue with no issues of people abusing stewards or pushing in etc.

Assuming all fit and healthy reckon same starting XI as last week, so Palmer stays in, Godden up top. Personally I’d probably prefer Simms over MG but don’t think MR will see it that way. Tough conditions/pitch so hope we are up for the battle. If we are then I say we’ll take by the odd goal.

It’s just over 48 years since I went to HR as an 7yr and have been a ST holder for most of the years in between. Those early years were about the smells (Beer, bovril, cigarettes, p**s to name a few), the anticipation, the disappointment, but the highs, oh the highs….. and sharing them with my...

I’m fearing this may be so but I’m rather hoping this is just a ruse to throw them off the scent 🤞😉 Kitching yes, Godden no; even less so if it means Simms to the left of the 3. Simms up top, Palmer on the left for me, please.

Same 4231 formation, hopefully. Palmer in if Wright is out, Kitching in for Binks, who could justifiably be a little disappointed, as could Lati. Collins MVE, Thomas, Kitching, Bidwell Sheaf, Eccles Saka, COH, Palmer Simms Heart wants to say 2-0, head is saying high scoring draw, 2-2

Assured, composed & professional, mostly. Was very pleased to see a strong line up with an obvious gulf in class showed. Thought all who played a part did their jobs well; Tavares ring rustiness to be expected. I thought 7’s and 8’s throughout. Sheaf over Palmer, just, as MoM for me, with...

So, does MR stick with 4231 or sacrifice an attacking option to fill an extra midfield berth?? Means for me: do we play Allen or Lati, or neither? For me, I suspect he will (and I hope) we go with: Collins MVE/BT/Binks/Bidwell Sheaf/Eccles or Lati Saka/COH/Wright Simms Rotate Palmer & COH for...

For me, he didn’t do anything in the game to justify his place ~ simply couldn’t bring myself to rate him on that level of effort or performance.

Hellishly frustrating. My opinion we did ok in the first half considering the changes and that Allen and Godden were passengers, largely dominated the 2nd and changes made a difference. Collins, 5. Difficult to tell from my vantage point but seems he either got the wall wrong or his own...
