TM has said Fortune and Henderson, as well as Rose, have all picked up knocks and are doubtful for Tuesday. That means we just have Tudgay and the kids. George Thomas and Bassala Sambou surely have to be on the bench. Think Jones has to play too hasn't he?

Yeah, that sounds about spot on. I would give Ricketts a 4 though, same as Vincelot. He was responsible for 2 goals.

He was brilliant for us at first. Really looking like he would be in line for potential player of the season. What we have seen since is the disintegration of a player. The only keeping him in the team is that he is captain. Not captain and he would have been dropped. I have been very...

Hmmm. Completely ruined the bloke's life, used violence and this victim has had 3 heart attacks as a result and will never work again, but the perpetrator gets 3 years, 3 months. Adam Johnson gets 6 years. System is nuts.

When did Aaron Martin suddenly become Aaron Martins? :)

Ricketts caused 2nd goal? What about the first one that was completely his error?

Yep, still raw. Wish we had, had him in the Jan window though. Could have made all the difference.

Yep. How can we possibly think we can win 5 out of 8 when we can't even win 2 on the bounce! Last time we won 2 in a row was November, 4 months ago. One thing to be positive about though! In March we have some easy games coming up.

He was very good, but our finishing was also terrible. Too many grasscutters and balls hit too close to the keeper, enabling him to make the saves. There were no blinding saves by their keeper. Just a series of good ones. Of course we should blame our players. That first half we must have had...

Don't wish to piss on anyone's chips and yes, it is only 3 points behind, but we have to be realistic here. To put it in perspective, we will almost certainly have to win 5 out of 8 to even have a chance. TM said this very same thing. 5 wins gives us a chance, 6 should ensure we're in. That...

No-one had a bad game? Ricketts. Vincelot. Henderson. Ricketts was very poor.

Not sure you can drop a sub can you? If he doesn't start with him it doesn't mean he is dropped. He can now only be dropped if he is not on the bench.

It's the City. The meter has run out and we don't even have the gas to light the oven.

Please let me have some of what you are having! ;) We've lost 8 out of 12 and only won 4 out of 19. We've scored 4 goals in 7 games and continue to give away silly goals. That paints the exact picture of where we are. There IS a chance of the play-offs mathematically of course, but it all...

All their goals were gifted by us. The only good goal of the game was ours. Scant reward.

Last time we came from behind was in December against Chesterfield. That was to earn a draw. Before that I think it was Peterborough, where we won. We go a goal behind we nearly always lose. That is a team with no backbone.

Exactly right, Nick. We have the technical ability, but no backbone. It's something we have lacked for years now. We need the same team spirit as Burton. We need to be a team that never knows when it is beat. How many times this season have we come from behind to go on to win?

Basically, the normal thing is to score when you are on top. You will always get the breakaway out of the blue goals of course, but both teams usually get a period of being on top in games. What you have to do is to make it count when you have the upper hand. You know when the opposition have...

Downwards?

Quite the opposite I would have thought. If we finish with a whimper I'm sure the prediction for next year will be midtable at best. Pointless saying we were top for a bit. Means nothing unfortunately.
