    Murphy

    Thing is weeman, we can't give him credit for stuff he didn't do. I thought Lameiras was worse than Murphy too. There was a couple of times at least where slack passing from Lameiras lead to dangerous breakaways for Burton. He showed a bit of trickery, but then he was easily out-muscled...

    Good News Statistics

    And I am still very confident of getting into the play-offs. Now not so confident of top two though, not unless we can change things round and bring in reinforcements.

    Yeah and we kept losing our tempo because we kept giving Stokes the ball out wide left in our build-up play and then refused to support him, so he was left on his todd and had to put his foot on the ball and then when he realised he had no support, simply just pass it backwards again. Must...

    Murphy

    Don't think I ever saw Tommy Hutchison put a tackle in. Murphy is not a 50/50 challenge type of player. If he went in for 50/50 he would probably end up injured.

    Our Defence

    You said it yourself, that error was huge and just how many goals has he cost us now? It's a number of penalties and mistimed challenges and cases of diving in. Lots of schoolboy errors, so even if he wasn't that bad, that error yesterday was terrible. I would say he looks very much out of his...

    Disappointing, but still in our hands

    We definitely still need strengthening.

    Burton

    Unless things change we have no chance, no. That's two games against our rivals where we have been found out and had no change of game plan. Tuesday we seemed to have the win in the bag, but just sat back and tried to hang on to the one goal lead. Yesterday we were doing okay and a draw...

    Who watches American Football in the UK?

    Wow!! Two great games last night. Guessing many of you maybe haven't watched yet, so with that in mind .... I never, ever expected Arizona/Green Bay to beat Green Bay/Arizona in such a fashion. Wow!! What a great/crap game. And as for the Pats and the Chiefs, who would have thought Brady...

    Disappointing, but still in our hands

    Yes, true. Accept that. Think Ricketts wouldn't have allowed that to happen, but then again, Ramage has only been with us 5 mins and he did come from the Indian leagues, so accept it will take him time to adjust. It was Phillips' one that was the one true shocker! Just how many times have we...

    Murphy

    They are unable to put strong tackles in. They are simply not that type of player. Did you ever see Michael Owen putting strong tackles in, or Glenn Hoddle? Tommy Hutchison? We can't expect them to be complete players, but we do need them to excel at the things they ARE good at.

    Disappointing, but still in our hands

    I'm far from doom and gloom Tony. I still definitely think we will make the play-offs and what a wonderful season that will have then been. Just feel we aren't winning enough games now. As I said before, draws are fine, but you can't then be following them with defeats. I can take the odd...

    Disappointing, but still in our hands

    He was culpable in that second goal though.

    Phillips

    I am basing my judgement on the fact that he surely can't be worse than Phillips! ;)

    Moaning about the little things in life

    Well that's what I'm talking about. I hated the news coverage of Princess Diana's death, so what did I do? I changed channels! Why would I sit there watching something I didn't want to watch? And that's what these people do, they watch the programme and then moan about it. Just change the...

    Mr Tinkerman

    Didn't putting Armstrong on the bench for that one game result in him scoring a hat-trick in the next? Don't see how you can use that to back up your post at all.

    Disappointing, but still in our hands

    We need to start winning matches, pure and simple. I was happy with the draws, but they are no good if you at drawing and then losing. We are not winning with enough regularity. Think Southend is going to be another tough game. On the whole they are another solid, physical team who can be hard...

    Harsh on RCC for the first goal. Don't think he could have done anything more than that. Second one, yep, he shouldn't really be beaten from that angle, but don't see how you have put some blame on RCC for the second goal and none on Ramage, who was much more culpable. RCC 5 Phillips 2. Sorry...
