Bidwell is our best centre back at the moment

Tactically spot on but not enough quality on the ball tonight. O'Hare must be the best player in the league off the ball but on the ball is a totally different matter unfortunately. His control is not good enough, let alone his shooting.

I reckon a rare Jamie Allen goal tonight

Moore 7 (no chance with goals. Distribution good) Dabo 7 (some sloppy passing but crossing much better, including the assist) Rose 7 (steady) Hyam 7 (steady) Bidwell 8 (some great headers and blocks) Maatsen 6 (kept going but lost the ball far too frequently) Allen 8 (some nice link up...

I am surprised by those comments. If you can play left back and you are only 19 years old, surely you can play wingback or develop into one. Bidwell looks like a left back more than a wingback.

I think it will be a struggle to move much above where we are. However, nothing would surprise me with this squad. When they look down and out they come back fighting. It has been an impressive season, so I hope at least we have some positive momentum to carry through the summer.

That's assuming mine isn't as big!

For red nose Day I got permission to roll a tennis ball around the pitch at Highfield Road with my nose. When I came out into the arena the first team were training. Bobby Gould was shouting at John Williams. As I was crawling around Oggy came over and asked if I wanted a bigger ball. I was so...

Really pleased for Baka. Turn around in fortunes.

Do you have an idea when he is likely to be available?

I am sure, had he not had his recent injury he would have had some proper game time in the run in with the injuries and illness we have had. His latest setback has probably scuppered it. Shame we didn't see more of him to get a indication of whether he is worth offering a new contract too...

Your later post shows Allen had the highest passing accuracy and 2 key passes so hardly think it is fair to make any comparison to Shipley. Allen also works hard off the ball.

Unfortunately I have thought that for a while (apart from when he filled in at LWB) but Robins continuously puts him in or on as sub. I don't understand what he sees in him.

Moore 8 (good handling and some decent saves) Dabo 5 (positionally dubious defensively. Rash at times and got away with a pen and red card. A couple of decent crosses though) Bidwell 8 motm (looked really good at LCB. One great block throwing himself against the shot. Needed more of that...

Maatsen found out time and time again (as was Dabo). Anyone think he, or any other post-McCallum player has done better than what we would have expected from Brandon Mason (apart from his injury)? I don't.

I would put Reid on for Shipley. Get some aggression on the pitch. We will need to play much better second half if we are to win this. Again too many players not performing. Hamer looks laboured. One piece of quality play led to our goal. Not much else to shout about. I think Gyokeres would...

Yes please

Unfortunately I cannot see us turning Wednesday's performance around enough. I can see Derby winning to end any playoff ambition. I think we will need Moore to get back to top form to get something from this with a threadbare defence.

I thought first half he looked more confident and direct. Unfortunately second half he caught the shocking passing bug, though still had some good moments. I didn't think it was his worse game of the season.
