We'd have to swap to 5 at the back and play more like the Robins teams probably with one up top away two at home. That's a top half style of play but were short on players to make that kind of switch. Back to rarely winning away and taking risks with a light mf at home, not for me!

We're lucky to have him at his peak. We can't actually say that about too many of our players.

He's a threat in the box too!

A year I think so to the season after this one. We don't want anyone sniffing around though.

Give the lad a contract extension!

They usually very marginal calls too. He'll hover off but come back on and try again. It doesn't always payoff but he's almost always aware (unlike, say, EMC) As you say, he'll use his explosive pace but to have that in the tank he also needs to conserve his energy. People often mistake that for...

He might well pass Matty Godden's goal tally this season too. Only McSheffrey would have more in this era...

We have to be going at 2pts per game if we're serious about promotion. We're probably there or thereabouts over the past 12 months.

Perhaps, but not what the xG says at all.

You can almost see him thinking "Jeez, I haved scored or got an assist in two years - better not f*ck this one up too!" and then the wheels come off again. Another silly yellow yesterday too.

Nobody can compare playing football for a small fortune a week to "employment".

Haji was all over the pitch last night, defending our box, dropping deep to get the ball in MF during the 2nd half, since he was getting nothing much up top and he still had the energy for the final break. I thought he had a very good game.

He did come in on a free too but yes he f*cked off for the money.

I thought so at the time and Tats clearly did too, but watching it back and, in the context of the match where the ref let quite a lot go, I wasn't really convinced.

In August I'd have taken his Nan! If I was the opposition mangers I'd be looking to put a big, ugly bastard on him from set pieces and put the ball on his head. I'm surprised nobody's really done it yet but the quality of some of our play hasn't really given them a chance. I'm sure we'll see...

Me? I knew that he woiuld have to play being on loan. I recognised that Rushworth would take time to settle down and I hoped that he would and that's just what happened, even Lampard commented on it last week! I wanted an experienced keeper over a kid on loan. Rushworth will be a bit unhappy...

I'm not sure I agree about Bidwell. He needs more time on the pitch for the occasions that we need him to play. I think he should probably rotate more often to give JDS more of a break. EMC doesn't cover that position well enough and it can expose either of them sometimes. I do agree that our...

This! We haven't been getting the to him consistently since the break, particularly from the left.

We need to mix it up and I'm sure Lampard would agree. A long ball is the often the easy option and not the right one. Far too many times we're just giving the opponents the ball back. Rushworth's kicking just isn't accurate enough and our forwards don't hold the ball up too well either.

I'm sure he'd like to play against Woolfie every week too! How can the lad not be fit yet, he really seemed to tire in the last 30 mins and we had no options on the bench. It doesn't look like he can jump much either. Luckily Woolfie doesn't have to!
