In that defensive display, you single out Haynes? - Not Hyam for the 2nd and 4th goals? (In fairness, the 4th he was left open because we were going all out) - Not Grimmer for a terrible, underpowered header that their striker got to for a tap in for their 3rd? - not McDonald for missing a...

People are making a huge deal out Burge, but he does more class saves than mistakes. He’s made 3 mistakes that have ended in goals all season? He’s not as bad as people make out. He’s no Westwood, that’s for sure. I think a lot of people have it in for our younger players that struggled in L1...

I think synergy-wise Haynes and Shipley work well, but with Reid in the mix now, and after a terrible defensive display, Davies and Stokes should start the next match.

I think he’s really taking to the role of an impact sub. I think this is what he was signed for — come off the bench and make things happen. He seems to have the confidence to try more things when he comes off the bench. He probably deserves a start v Notts County.

I think it was Grimmer, but I’m not 100% certain. For a defence that is usually so sturdy, I’m in complete disbelief at the calamity that was the first 15m. Possibly the worse 15m I’ve ever witnessed from a defensive point of view.

I’ve been thinking for a while we’d suit a 4-3-3 with a lack of an obvious RM. Bayliss, Doyle and Shipley in the middle like against Mansfield. With a combination of the following; McNulty, JCH, Biamou and Reid. Reid displayed a few attributes I think we’ve been missing for a while. He wanted...

What would Shipley bring to a game we’re trailing by 2-3 goals? Barrett had a really good chance to score off a brilliant first touch, followed by a disappointing finish. He’s also left footed meaning the only player he could really replace was Reid. Who frankly, was probably our ‘best’ player...

I don’t think any goals came from Haynes side, he got skinned a few times and recovered well to concede the corner that led to the first goal. Whereas, at least 2 came from Grimmer’s — he was v lackadaisical tracking back for goals 2 and 4. He was also directly at fault for their 3rd! That...

I’m unsure where I stand on that. McNulty, somehow, since scoring his hat trick has missed about 3 clear cut chances over the last 2 games! I think Biamou is benefitting from having a newly defined role within in the team. He’s an impact player. That said, he’ll be just about the only confident...

The difference between losing 6-2 or 4-2 was immaterial. Both Barrett and McNulty missed clear cut chances at 4-2. At least we ‘went for it’ — we could’ve easily ambled into the 4-2 loss. I’m sure if anyone has played football manager, we’ve all been there losing 3 or 4-0 and went ‘fuck it’ and...

Why does Haynes get a 1 and Grimmer gets a 4?! Haynes played bad, yes. But Grimmer trotted back for their second and 4th goals. In fact, I think he may have been able to prevent their 2nd. I think he’s a better player than Haynes, but he looked utterly shattered today. His tracking back was v poor.

With the mistakes we made, this is clearly isn’t the managers fault. We had chances to get back in the game. For starts, Vincenti had a simple tap in at 1-0 to equalise it on about 6m in. I think we should’ve went into the break at 3-1 at least. We had plenty of chances but we weren’t clinical...

I left after the 5th went in, so I’ll have to wait to see what goal 6 was like. Burge, 4 — from world class save v Newport to costing us another goal. Grimmer, 4 — far too many people letting him off the hook on here. Failed to track back for goals 2 and 4. Hyam, 4 — what an earth were you...

I think a heavy pitch probably hinders Yeovil too. Listening to the Nii Lamptey show, it seems like they play with pacy wingers - the pitch won't be great for dribbling - and they play James Bailey in centre midfield. On the face of it, they're not going to be a 'hoofball' team. On top of that...

It is a must win. Arguably one of our easiest game remaining in the run-in. But besides, Mansfield and Lincoln could overtake us if we fail to win. More importantly, automatics are still in sight, we need to keep the pressure on.

I’ve never experienced a Villa v Cov game, so I’m indifferent to them. When Martin O’Neill was manager, and with a load of young English players, I actually liked them. As for Leicester, I dislike them, but I was happy they won the league because it’s about time someone outside of the top 5 won...

If you've ever played a reasonable standard of sport, it's a thing. You can train at high intensities, even in conditions that surpass actual matches, but, it doesn't beat the real the thing. Had they played on the 24th, I'd say they'd have an advantage. Matches build great momentum and I think...

Arsenal TV should be a reality TV show. Their "plight" is so entertaining. I do want them to win the Europa League and Wenger retires on a high. It's ugly to see a legend become so polarising. I think West Ham fans are irritating me the most at the moment with those scenes at the Olympic...

The rule of law is the bedrock of modern western society. It’s what separates us from the brutish fundamental Islamist. Give them a fair trial, punish them in accordance to the law and show to the world that we’re better than these zealots.

Nothing other than a win is acceptable here. We have 4 home games remaining and 3 need to wins, at minimum. Yeovil may be ‘fresh’ after their postponement — but, they’ve not played in over 2 weeks so I expect a bit of rust. We owe them for last time. 2-0. Unchanged.
