    Signings Incoming......

    I thought Junior Brown was let go because he was 3rd in the pecking order behind McCallum and Mason. He also had a few injuries. Whenever I saw him play he seemed to give his best, at least on the pitch. If he was disgruntled for not getting a game that's surely fair enough given the fact he was...

    Looks like he has a great turn of pace as well as close control. Shame he is another pint size player but I would still be pleased to get him in.

    Scariest time at a ground.

    Yeah, I was at that game. They invaded the pitch twice! I think they came back from 3-1 to draw with two late goals. Rod Wallace springs to mind. Some Leeds 'fans' got in to the row behind me and one of them knocked me on the back of the head and claimed it was an accident! I also remember a...

    Financially, at least short-term, there may be pressure to play a strong team to hopefully progress through to the next round, though a good opportunity to give some minutes out to peripheral players.

    Ratings v Millwall

    I wonder if he has been instructed to reduce the chasing? I remember Robins saying that Godden or maybe it was McNulty needs to reduce his running and do so in more threatening areas. It makes sense when playing one up top. He did on a few occasions rob a player of the ball including the one at...

    Yeah Sheaf showed another side of his game today and did it well - running with the ball.

    Ratings v Millwall

    Nervy last 20 but their keeper made 3 or 4 outstanding saves. Otherwise it would have been a stroll. Wilson 7 (one good save and a couple of others. Kicking wasn't so good) Dabo 9 (great ability to have the ball stick to his feet. Some great attacking play) Ostigard 8 (solid defending and...

    Wow, what a first half performance. Moved the ball quickly and sharply. Should have been ahead by more. Sheaf is having a stormer. Hamer and Dabo have to be 2 of the best players in this division.

    Transfer Rumour Jack Clarke

    One problem with bringing in a free-agent is the limitations on training at the moment with Covid restrictions. Not ideal for bringing players up to speed with fitness and team dynamics. That's a reason for bringing Eccles back. A Bayliss loan would be great too.

    I agree that assist stats alone are not the be all because it is dependent on someone else putting the ball away. However key passes is perhaps more of an indicator. I like O'Hare for his endeavour and clearly has potential. If we had a better squad I think he would be better at the moment as an...

    PNE were poor and we did so much right first half but unravelled by carelessness and poor decision making. Wilson 5 (poor distribution and surely he could have been braver for 2nd goal) Dabo 9 (motm. totally the best player on the pitch. Skill, pace, endeavour) Giles 5 (poor touch, absent...

    Cannot believe we are losing. Looking so dangerous but no end product - so frustrating. Allen and Dabo the best players again.

    A better defence / attack balance I thought. Wilson 7 (some sloppy moments with his feet but great reaction save first half and distributed well from hands) Dabo 9 (motm. Didn't give McClean a sniff and danced past players on numerous occasions. Great footwork) McCallum 7 (did enough...

    Jamie Allen

    Along with Dabo, our best player today I reckon. Anything decent going forward he seems to be part of. Then still has the energy to track back to challenge in our 6 yard box.

    Was Shipley injured ?

    Totally agree. Apart from our limited squad and his potential for scoring from outside the box, I don't understand why, up until recently, Robins selects him. I have watched every game apart from Bristol City and he has been the weakest player in all bar a couple. I can only assume he shows...

    Was Shipley injured ?

    Yep. His reaction after he misplaces a pass says it all - head down.

    Match Thread Stoke City

    I would give O'Hare a rest from starting and put Bapaga alongside Biamou. He is young and unproven but obviously has talent and likes to run at people. He has nothing to lose. If he is struggling O'Hare can come off the bench when Stoke are hopefully tiring and then utilise the space that he...

    Wilson 5 (looked very good again with 2 decent stops but marked down 2 for his stupid error leading to the goal and indecisiveness dealing with resultant free-kick) Dabo 5 (poor use of the ball most of the game. One decent cross but otherwise not able to get forward) McCallum 6 (poor first half...

    I know the players are tired but if we started the game with the tempo in which we finished we would have won this easily imo. They were a poor team. I cannot imagine we will face a team as bad this season. Real missed opportunity.

    Sheff Wed gave us so much time and space in midfield for the first 20 minutes but we moved the ball far too slowly. Missing Hamer's decisiveness. They then seemed to build in confidence. Bannan looks like he might cause us problems.
