Do we go for best of three with our Covid tests?

tbh each game in isolation, looks winnable. Overall, I expect us to struggle however. That mindset has meant I haven't often been disappointed over the years!

Yeah I’d be looking for a striker even if Godden is only a few weeks away.

Not concerned about Marosi or Rose.

Kelly and Walker are key for me. At the moment how do we get Kelly in the team. No W that Shipley and Allen are showing signs of improvement. Drop O’Hare..?

Get the sentiment Clint but don't need to be aggressive over it, some are just down rather than wanting failure

This is the big Sky Blue Elephant in the corner. We're better than Rotherham and Wycombe. My worry, as a perennial pessimist, was finding another - I think today we did (genuinely think Forest, Wednesday and Derby will come good). So many good performances today and in a way the opposite of Preston, the ball/final pass just broke to us the way it didn't during the week.

to be honest I think London is right. I put up a post criticising him on about 70 minutes and after that he played well.
Unfortunately what he was doing, stopping the opposition playing from the back, buying fouls etc isn't what you need your main striker to do when you need a goal as opposed to just closing the game down and Max didn't really offer a threat apart from the one chance which was blocked.

Good win, good overall performance for the most, great way to start the year.

My only gripe is that we've given them a penalty and a chance to get back in to it too cheaply. We've still got some lessons to learn in that respect, but at the end of the day we won and that's all that any of us really care about.

If Rose or Østigård can adapt to LCB I think it’ll make us a lot more solid bringing the ball out of defence. Marosi I’m less bothered about as Wilson has done OK.

I’d bring someone on who can play target man and play either O’Hare off them with three CMs behind him or Walker/Godden up front with either O’Hare and 2 DMs or 3 CMs behind. Depending on the game and what’s needed. Ideally I’d get another AM in to offer something different and challenge O’Hare.

I mentioned in an earlier post that Spurs are ending Parrots loan at Millwall but want to loan him out to another Championship side, thought he did OK when he came on, worth a punt?

Wow...just watched the highlights, and Milwall were dogshit, and we definitely should have won by more.
That said, at least we won, and we are still above some 'big' teams with much superior budgets and squads, so congrats to MR and the team.

Genuinely think they were the worst team we’ve played this season and 1-2 flattered them. The number of times we dispossessed them in midfield was ridiculous, thought Rowet was going to have an aneurysm at one point. As you’d expect, they made more of a go of it in the second half, but anything other than a Sky Blue win would have been a travesty. If they play like that for the rest of the season they will be down there at the end for sure. Love it, hate the bastards.

You could hear the exasperation from the commentators, they were chasing shadows for the most part. Really should have given them a hiding but we saw the game out calmly at least.

The standards for him are set lower than other players like Sheaf who get dogs abuse all season. As a striker he was poor today, end of. During the first half he looked like he’d won a competition.

to be honest I think it depends who's posting!
I thought Sheaf was outstanding today, probably my MOTM but close with Hamer and Callum.

good point, though they look as though they create less than us.
Someone earlier called him gangster Parrot, I wonder if he's a bit of a wannabe bad boy?

He was useless as a target man I thought, he works hard though and did capitalise on a couple of mistakes. Not the answer for us though imho
