    Wanted a win before the match started, but relieved with a point at the end. We’re very much a work in progress and although I’m disappointed not to have beaten the bottom team in the league, we probably didn’t deserve to win the match. The goal over this mini unbeaten run has clearly been to...

    Next two games

    We have to go for the win against both teams if we want to pull clear of them (especially since we lost to Forest and should have at least got a point). Was watching Derby against Wycombe and they look very ordinary. It's a club in some turmoil as their fans want Rooney out as manager. Rotherham...

    I think Max has to be ahead of Baka in the pecking order now for sure. Good to rotate the players and keep them fresh. Wilson had a superb debut imho and that was never a penalty. Earlier in the season we would have walked away empty- handed, but full credit to the team for fighting for a very...

    They are saying that the changes (i.e. Hamer, Walker, Shipley etc) are to give a breather to the players and focus on the Derby game coming up. Still I didn't see this coming. ..

    Another clean sheet please! That has to be the goal more than anything else in this game. If it's a boring 0-0 I'll gladly take it, but considering they're missing so many players maybe we should try to nick it 1-0 - that would be fantastic.

    Lee Camp

    He seems to parry a lot of shots rather than catching them. So if we sign him up, we'll need to make sure he's surrounded by our defenders to prevent any tap-ins after the initial parry. i thought Wilson did okay for the 1 min that he played, but obviously that's too little a sample size to...

    So dumb. Suicidal back pass and a penalty to compound matters.

    Are we catching up

    It hasn't helped that we've played quite a few of the early season pacesetters and the matches have come thick and fast (almost every other Tue and Fri/Sat). Fitness levels are not quite where they need to be and injuries/suspensions haven't helped. I'm desperate for some clean sheets as well as...

    Watched highlights of Middlesboro vs Forest on YouTube. Still can't get over the fact we lost to Middlesboro who look very ordinary, but we were worse on the day. Forest look a poor side and rightfully so. If we have the same belief and mentality like we did against Reading, then I think we have...

    Biamou still has lots to offer

    Agree with this. Baka for his youth and physical stature does not always seem to know how to use these to his advantage in terms of the team concept. Walker will need to get up to speed soon and offer competition for places. I thought, to an extent, Max helped bring others into the mix. We need...

    From this day forward I think all other teams in this division besides us, need to wear blue hoops for their home kits and red away kits.

    Stay calm it’s a long season

    i understand it's a long season and am trying to stay calm, but something has to change in terms of: a) Not committing silly fouls in front of the ref that could get one sent off (e.g. tapping someone on the face or shoving an attacker in the penalty area) b) Doing a better job against the press...

    Plan B

    Apart from the Barnsley match, we haven’t keep a clean sheet all season. That would be a start. Having some confidence/belief and not committing stupid red card offenses like tapping someone on the face or pushing someone in the back in the penalty box right in front of the ref would also be an...

    It’s like target practice for them. Just hope we can keep it respectable.

    Agree totally. Just let it fly when you’re around the 6 yard box. That’s what Shipley did the last game to score.

    Always felt Rose got his place back in the side too easily. Never thought Ostigard should have lost his place. Seems more steady to me than Rose. Now that’s he’s suspended for the next 3 matches, I hope Ostigard cements his place in the first eleven.

    I do hope you end up being correct with your predictions. I agree that MR teams of the last few seasons seem to start the season slow and then pick up the pace and finish the season strong. I'd really like to see that this season as well. We are clearly getting used to the pace, strength and...

    No Dabo, Hamer and Shipley. Our squad seems a little stretched at the moment. Hope we don’t lose.
