System change has helped. But personnel changes have been just as important. Collins has looked solid. Kitching has settled and had a good effect on Thomas. Bidwell - probably the biggest differential in defence and attack. In the early games we really missed Allen’s energy and running. And...

These things do level out. I give you our, ahem, goal v Plymouth.

Title of the thread due for a change surely. Wright, Kitching, Van Ewijk, Sakamoto, Thomas. Looking like absolute steals now.

With few loans we’ve now got to the happy place where we are strengthening and adding depth rather than looking for big gap fillers. Central midfield would be an obvious place to add to what we have. I don’t think we need to necessarily do anything else. Just pick up opportunities if they...

Kitching will go straight back in for Binks I think. First half Binks was a bit scatty but was solid 2nd

That’s a really impressive win. Sakamoto and Wright absolutely top class. Full backs excellent second half. Collins solid as was Thomas. All in all an excellent festive period.

Must admit I thought he was a bit tricky but ineffectual after the first few games but that was just wrong. Now adding lots of end product - a real find, and one that looks like he’s good for the squad morale into the bargain.

Horrible place to have to go on New Year’s Day. Strongest team we have available for me with Palmer to make an impact later on.

I think that was Reggie Genaux. That was awful.

There’s a reason there are so many late goals. If teams are behind you’ll normally see two things. 1) They’ll bring another forward on as “they need a goal” and 2) They’ll start hitting longer balls as “they need a goal”. Which begs some obvious questions. The game is now obsessed with...

I’d like us to go for Ce-em Boxtboxhamerlike. I think he’s currently at Genk.

Isn’t that the general idea though??

Well the referee saw it and gave a straight red. It’s then been reviewed and upheld so I’d say it’s fairly certain he did do or say something.

Dasilva is basically not good enough defensively and never will be. That’s his game. He’s tidy enough on the ball and can make and receive a pass. He’s a useful squad player at this level. But when he plays in a flat back 4 there will be an opportunity for any opposition down his flank.

For me it’s not about the goals. He just hasn’t found any rhythm - hasn’t shown much evidence of being a natural player. It’s entirely possible it’s a confidence thing and we’re just waiting for the click - we’ll see.

Reflecting on it next day it was a dominant display. Their equaliser just one of those things. Thought we missed Kitching but overall it’s clear we are a top 8 champ team at least with potential to push beyond. New signings settling - Wright, MVE, Sakamoto and Kitching now look absolute...

McFadzean still has a role I think. If we ever switch to a back five he’s a natural choice. Kelly - I imagine he’ll be off trying to earn a summer deal in L1. Don’t see Godden going anywhere.

Costly bit of indiscipline from Kitching. I certainly think we get 3 points if he’d played v Swansea.

We keep mentioning the Leeds game. Let’s have it correct - what he did in that game was run about a lot and show some commitment. That is the absolute minimum we should expect and get. He starts ahead of Godden for me he needs to start producing something tangible over the next 10-15 games to...
