I'm in the exact same boat over here.

A winnable fixture and I hope we get a win for mine and brother first league away game of the season!

My thoughts exactly. Southend probably had the best chance of the first half from the corner, but that’s it. I’m not going to rant and rave about our performance, because I thought we were average too. A Southend said it was a ‘0-0 game edged by the home side’ and that’s a reasonable...

When you’re not scoring goals, it’s frustrating so I can see why fans were getting agitated. We all want to be sticking multiple goals past teams and being gung-ho in attack as it’s good entertainment value. Whilst it’s not an ‘either or’ situation, I can’t think anything more frustrating than...

Frankly, I think Powell is clutching at straws here. If it is offside, it’s very marginal. He claimed they got ‘stronger and stronger’ and created the ‘better chances’. That’s a worrying assessment in my view because they didn’t threaten us at all but for one or two chances. He spins it as their...

Like most League 1 managers, hence they are managing in L1?

Thank you! We all want what's best for the club and all have different opinions on how to get there, that's the point of a forum! I try to make my points as best as I can, even if they're not right all the time. I don't feel like there's a manager out there who's a better fit than Robins at...

Willis' improvement is precisely why we should've kept him because he was someone who could improve as he's still relatively young and had previous in L1, and our defence was red hot in the first half of the season. Generally speaking, us fans are prone to lack perspective and we tend to be...

People who tend to make rash judgements also tend to make themselves look like a tit. There’s a difference between having a few bad performances and being a bad player or a having a bad team. A lot of people cannot differentiate the two. Even during the our bad run, some of our performances...

I gather that too, so I'm considering getting the train early doors or a supporters coach early as possible but hoping there's not only a handful of tickets left!

Keep the team unchanged, or failing that, bring Doyle in the middle for Westbrook and push Bayliss out wide. JCH has been playing v well off the bench so is worth considering for a start, but keep Chaplin and Hiwula upfront for now. I fancy us for a win in this one given our good form v Wycombe...

Does anyone know how many tickets have been sold for this game as of the 28th? The website said 900 tickets had been sold out of 1800 on Xmas eve. With ticket prices being cheap this is a game I'd like to go to, but I don't want to risk travelling on the day and not get tickers. Any info would...

We all want what's best for the team so I won't criticise anyone for that. But, with all due respect, I do think you lack foresight now as you did then. We're 9th now, our results against the top 6 (albeit mainly at home) suggests we can mix it with the best in this division. So, for me...

After this season, Doyle cannot still be a starter, I'd be happy for him to be a player-coach and having a bit-part role, but we need a starting CM if we're looking to be in and around the playoffs or more. Right now, with Thomas injured and we're light on the flanks, it's natural we should...

Personally, I’d field Doyle and Kelly in the middle going forward. Thomas and Bayliss on the flanks because Hiwula is playing really well up front. Bayliss having more space out wide and license to roam off his wing (as Shipley did today) could benefit his game.

I disagree strongly, as I did with the notion selling Willis last season. If I’m wrong, I do apologise, but I’m sure we had this debate around Willis and looking at where we are now, it’s fair to say that not selling Willis was undoubtedly the right choice. You’re presenting the options as...

He’s deluded if he genuinely thinks they had the better chances. Whilst we didn’t create clear cut chances, they didn’t offer a lot but for one set piece chance. It was pretty average game, attacking-wise, but we were the better side by far.

Why would that be?

Burge, 7 - safe pair of hands today, good save at the death. Sterling, 8 - classy performance defensively and going forward. One thing that particularly impressed me was when he was pressing their LM and had the IQ to notice the run behind him, he then dropped off and picks up the interception...
