I was a bit surprised we didn't make substituions earlier, as we were beginning to tire and Walsall brought 3 sets of fresh legs on. The conditions were heavy with all that rain and it certainly took its toll.

From a business point of view though, if he's out of contract and will be gone in the summer anyway, then if we can get a fee it will be considered. All about replacing him with someone who can fill those boots in that scenario.

TM has said Maddison will start on Saturday, so if Cole and Hunt were to play then we would have to drop either Murphy or JOB, both of which looked very tired second half.

Where did you hear this from, ferret?

Only thing is, can we get an adequate replacement for him. If TM thinks he can do that then that will obviously have some bearing on the decision.

We have had no luck at centre back at all. First we lost Willis, then Reda, then Turner, then Martin. If Stokes becomes another casualty I think we can put it down to a curse. Really been so unlucky and the thing is, though Stokes has been brilliant at centre back, we have really missed him at...

He tired very quickly though. Looked brilliant in the first half, but slowed down considerably as the game wore on.

Vincelot played well but made a couple of mistakes, whereas, besides stepping on the ball early on and nearly losing possession, Stokes was outstanding. My player of the match for sure.

Yeah! Besides scoring and having loads of assists, he nearly always chooses the wrong option! It's a bit like 'what have the Romans ever done for us' I think.

Agree. First half we totally dominated and looked very much an automatic promotion placed side. We ran out if steam second half (ring rusty?), but even then we came back and had a 10 minute period where we dominated and had 3 good opportunities to kill the game. I am more confident too. Hunt...

Except when he scores?

Well yep, totally agree. 2 or 3 wins in a row and the whole picture changes. Not going to say we will do that, but that's a possibilty for any of the top teams. We nearly won again tonight. Don't get all the gloom and doom at all. We were dominant and should have killed the game off. We didn't...

Exactly! Knee jerk reaction and way off the mark. We deserved a point, we are still right in it. Look at our back four tonight! Let's give TM chance to bring players in like he has promised. Could make all the difference.

Surely not. You can fly to Sweden in 2 hours, unless someone is coming over by pedalo.

Totally agree. We're still 4th and in with a great chance of at least a play-off chance. I'm still really bouyant.

Errr, we have Lorentzson don't we? He could make a big difference.

Bit of an exaggeration. Yes, they had loads of possession but there was next to no threat and I think we believed we could hold out for the win. Some of it tonight was self enforced with us trying to protect the lead and defend deep.
