    I seriously cannot see us getting 2 goals back today. I think we will now definitely lose and there is no way back. Lack of attacking options. Hope I'm wrong, but just can't see this team screaming 'goals!' Sent from my Hudl 2 using Tapatalk

    Well, I know TM is trying to get things right, but we seriously needed strengthening in Jan as a matter of urgency. It is now 23rd Jan. I'm sure TM is working his socks off, but we could have really have done with players in place today and available today. I very much see Ramage as a...

    Sorry, went to type Fleck, no idea why I typed Cole.

    Don't know why people saw this as a good line-up for us today. Looks really weak, lack of pace and in Murphy, Cole and Armstrong, that's three of our best players out. Saw the line-up and thought oh dear. :(

    Yep, agree and we shouldn't forget we could be without two of our very best players in Fleck and Armstrong. That would be a big blow.

    The gap widens or closes today...

    Anyway I think the title should read 'The gap widens or closes today, or stays the same. ' Cover all angles.

    I am also thinking in terms of Rose too though because Bigi worries me a bit. I quite like him, but he is more reckless with his passing than Fleck and is a bit rash too. Would be happier if we strengthed the midfield. This is why I too think JOB may well be in.

    Adam Armstrong injured

    Whether people rate MAF or not, he is a different type of player to Tudgay so I agree. If Armstrong is out it will probably be MAF. Would like to see a fluid front 'two' though of Maddison and Murphy. Not out and out strikers but a fluid two, in free roles. Don't think TM would do that though...

    I like all these 'must wins.' Just like Burton was a must win and Walsall was a must win and Chesterfield was a must win and Oldham was a must win and Doncaster was a must win! :D I think now we should just put every game down as a must win. Can we have it as a sticky please Nick! ;)

    I will be okay with a draw. Really could do with a win, but I think this will be a very tough game. Really fancy us to get the 3 points next week against Scunthorpe, but today I think may well be a draw.

    What do you want to see on here?

    You know what will be good? To limit posters to say 20 replies to a thread (excepting match threads) If you can't say what we need to say in 20 posts then something is surely wrong. ;) Would then stop the Grendel-Italia-thons.

    What do you want to see on here?

    Yep, but don't hold back on any criticism and try not to butter him up over it.

    Mowbray comments on Maddison speculation

    Not talking about money, talking about in terms of signing him on the back of less than 20 professional matches. Big gamble that he's going to go on to be everything people want and hope! Peanuts in monetary terms though for the big clubs.

    The gap widens or closes today...

    Hmm, TM may be a master technical thinker, but the second the goal went in last week we lost the game. Was very, very worrying last week that as soon as Burton scored the first goal we became very clueless and inept. Was waiting a fight back and it simply never came. To be a master technical...

    Adam Armstrong injured

    Yes, I know, but there is the hint there isn't there, that of it's not been a problem before, so it won't be a problem now. Definitely a smidgen of that going on, on here. He is a very, very key cog for us, so I most certainly am not looking back to how we may have won before without him and...

    You certainly can't have been on here a while if you reckon I always talk sense! :D

    Adam Armstrong injured

    I know we have done well without him, but we haven't done well BECAUSE he is out of the team. I think it is just a coincidence. We haven't played any better when he hasn't been there and he is the top scorer in this league! We will miss him without any doubt.

    Yep, that seemed an out and out lie. He couldn't have known the licence plate number belonged to the victim unless he HAD found the car and if so this was well before the car was 'actually' discovered by the two women in the search at the scrapyard.

    Adam Armstrong injured

    Would feel a lot better if Murphy hadn't have been bang out of form for the last two matches. Could we have Maddison and Murphy in a sort of fluctuating/free, front role and then strengthen midfield? So something like: RCC Ricketts Ramage Stokes Hunt Bigi Vincelot Rose JOB Maddison/Cole...
