He looks very promising in these type of games which bear no resemblance to the cut and thrust of league games & he did ok when he came on at Gillingham,. However he looked completely out of his depth when he came on against Rochdale. Unfair to judge him on that I agree, but it hardly forced...

He played in the famous 3-0 opening day win at Arsenal when Micky Quinn scored a hat trick and looked like he was going to be a hell of a player. Think he joined the same time as Willie Boland who wasn't half the player, but ended up having a lot longer career with us. We didn't have a lot of...

Lightbourne had scored 20+ goals in each of the 3 seasons before signing for us, and on that basis was a reasonable punt, given that he was joining an established Premier League team as a squad player. There really is no comparison between the two players in terms of their records when they...

A goalkeeper please, but one that will play ahead of the two we already have.

I know they've started ok, but are they seriously going to bring 5 - 6,000 for a televised game at 12:30? I'm pretty sure when we played them in the Championship at the Ricoh they only brought about half that number.

Good point about the lack of movement up front. It's easy banging on about keeping it on the deck, but to do that you need players further forward to want the ball, keep moving & alternating positions, and at the moment we aren't really getting that. Regarding Saturday's game, like others I...

You're talking about two matches basically, Yeovil & Lincoln. The common denominator in those games was McDonald who has now gone and who we were right to bin off. I'm quite happy with the 3 we have left. Willis & Davies are a strong 1st choice pairing with Hyam as decent back up. As I said...

With Willis, Davies & Hyam it's the only part of the team I'm happy with. I'd rather have a new keeper!

With sales of Wilson, Maddison and Stevenson in recent years, together with important players like Bayliss and Willis the Academy has obviously been coming up trumps, but I feel we might be missing a trick with the likes of Camwell and Ponticelli particularly. In respect of Ponticelli, in a...

Should have scored, but to be fair to Ogogo any cross 4 yards out should have the keeper's name all over it & if they had scored I would have blamed O'Brien ahead of him.

The only person at fault for the first goal is the keeper. Willis was in a position to challenge the scorer but clearly got a call from O'Brien & had to trust the keeper in those circumstances.

Trouble is we have no on field leaders. Davies has potential to be a leader but that's it. For me Ogogo was far poorer than Doyle last night, and whenever Kelly is ready to come back & unless Ogogo improves quickly, I think he is the one more likely to make way.

Don't know how much longer we can wait for the Sterling we hoped for to produce the goods. At the moment he looks like he doesn't want the ball. He just doesn't seem a natural footballer which given his England/ Chelsea pedigree seems ridiculous.

John Salako?

Hyam 7, Willis 6, Thomas/ Doyle 5. The rest 4 and below..

Saturday was his best game so far...... but that was starting from a very low point as he was very disappointing in the 2 league games before that (didn't see Oxford game so can't comment on that). He made one particularly good defensive tackle, albeit if he had been more alert earlier he...

Is the first one that clear cut? I'm not sure JP isn't at least level with the first defender, and I'm also not absolutely convinced that he is in front of the ball as it is crossed either. Hopefully his and our luck will equal out, but in a more important game.

Looking at the line up tonight there must be every chance that Sterling will play further forward in a wing back role, so hopefully he will get the chance to get further forward & we can see how he shapes up doing so.

Has Sterling made a delivery into the box? He hasn't really got far enough forward to do so yet!

Don't know about just changing their name - it happened 10 years ago!!
