Good point today, but think we need to beat Plymouth now!

I don't have a good feeling about today! I really hope I'm wrong though!!

I'd say a point today makes it very likely we'll stay up, but a win almost guarantees this. A defeat today will be a disaster in my opinion!

A strange player with all the physical attributes, but unfortunately lacks the footballing brain.

Wilmot's had two bad injuries and he's a shadow of the player he was before those injuries. He is however still a far better centre back than either of the chuckle brothers that are first choice at the moment. Unfortunately he isn't anymore! That's part of the problem actually!

I agree Vidigal is not the answer right now. I think Manhoef and Bae or Campbell should play in the wing roles. I know it sounds strange, but I'd love to see Leris played as our target man up front. I actually think he will fill in better than Ennis in that position. He works hard, strong in the air, able to keep the ball, Yes, I want to see him played there!

As bad as last night was I dont think we shoudl be throwing the bathwater out with the baby Firstly I think Junho despite most of us suggesting he is better in teh 10 role should play out on the left and drift in. Secondly we missed an extra man in Midfield last night, and Burger and Laurent were totally outplayed by Grimes, also our goal threat seems to come from midfield so we need someone who can score in there and lastly a 4-3-3 seems to be suiting us better than a 4-2-3-1, therefore I would go Iversen However, McNally, Rose, Stevens Burger, Baker, Laurent Manhoef, Ennis, Junho Bench: Campbell, Bonham, Thompson, Vidigal, Haks, Cundle, Lowe, Leris, Haksobanovic. Junior!?

You have to be the most incompetent ref I've seen for many years and that really is an achievement. Gouranga. I can't remember a game where he hasn't been really shit for us! He decided the outcome of the game yesterday and that's a disgrace!

We conceded the first goal because he couldn't hold the line! If he could they wouldn't have scored their first. He was also in the best position to do it, but still he couldn't! Not very impressive! After that Swansea got so much help from the ref that they won convincingly!

As too many of our players he lacks pace and physical presence, some got the physical presence but lacks the pace, Vidigal lacks both assets unfortunately.

We didn't play well, but still I feel the ref cost us. With 1-1 at the break and a free kick instead of a penalty in the second half I think we could have got something from this game.

I get the feeling the squad is a bit stretched. Certainly there were a few hobbling off at full time yesterday. It’s doubtful that Stevens will be risked, and Junior is at least a week away so we could be looking at: Iversen Hoever Rose McNally Thompson Burger Cundle/Baker Laurent Leris Junho Ennis No Cundle please!

.....and our most prolific goalscorer has...? I would of course prefer Håland, but I doubt we will be able to tempt him here! just because he’s got more than our useless lot does not mean he good enough for what we need I really struggle to see us attract better strikers than him right now to be honest, and he certainly will be an upgrade with his workrate and pace. Exactly the player we should have had this season to stay out of this relegation dogfight!

.....................Iversen.................. Hoever......McNally..........Rose......Stevens .....................Burger................... ...........Laurent..........Baker............. Manhoef............Campbell.............Bae... Subs: Bonham, Wilmot, Thompson, Leris, Vidigal, Haksa, Ennis, Cundle. This if Mmaee’s injured. I do have a feeling he’ll be tinkering though and it’ll end up .....................Iversen.................. Hoever......McNally..........Rose......Thompson .....................Burger................... ...........Laurent..........Baker............. Leris....……….....Ennis.............Bae... Ennis’s work rate is excellent but as a footballer I have grave concerns. Manhoef was our star player yesterday in my opinion and needs to play. Ennis might be a better choice than Campbell as you know what you get, something we never do with Campbell. I could also be tempted to try Leris up top as he is great in the air and very good at holding the ball up. I know square pegs in round holes etc., but I actually think he could be a better choice than both Ennis and Campbell. I don't think they will risk Mmaee for this game.

Is it really that hard to place the ball approximately half a yard away from the post and the bar? If you do you will probably score at least 9 out of 10! I've taken so many penalties in my life and I've hardly missed at all, so I really struggle to see why we are so bad at this! Must add that I have not played at a very high level though, but in principle the same counts anyway.

Iverson 6 - I don't think he can be blamed for the second as he had to stop the cross. Hoever 6, I'll never trust him but has improved lately. McNally 6, OK Rose 6, OK Stevens 6, makes us much more solid on the left side. Thompson 6, steady but lacks any creativity. Laurent 5, why did he stop instead of getting between their player and the goal!? Bae 7, good game. Haks 5, never has any end product! Manhoef 8, troubled them the whole afternoon, MOM! Mmaee 6, does a lot of good things, but he doesn't score goals! Subs Burger 7, makes a difference! Vidigal 6, really shit penalty but luckily scored on the rebound! Campbell 6, thought he added something when he came on! Leris 6, he certainly gets stuck in! Re Thompson did you see who passed the ball to Campbell for the penalty. I think Thompson's passing is very underrated. He can't shoot though but that's true of all the team. I must say I'm far from impressed by Thompson's passing. Every player at this level will make a good pass now and then, but in my opinion Thompson takes too much time in controlling the ball and his passes usually go sideways or backwards. When playing the ball forward he rarely hits his target, and when it comes to his crosses into the box I really want to cry! I think he is a very limited player that is OK as back up, but he really shouldn't start many games for us. Think he has improved a bit this season though.

His pace was the main factor anyway, but shit defending? YES!!! Just think it was bad positioning and our two getting in each others way. Laurent just needed to drop in the gap between Asante and Hoever and the keeper. Laurent was the main culprit at both our conceded goals!

Feels strange to be fighting to stay up, when we are so few player away from fighting for promotion! Really? For me, there's only a handful of players in the squad that I'd consider to be decent footballers. The rest I'd gladly see the back of. From the players we have today we're only a new first 11 left back, a dominant central defender and a decent goalgetter from being there.

He is as he has scored more than all our strikers together, or at least almost! True, except even Vidigal has 6, so his 10 isn't impressive at all. Bang average for a CS striker. Still better than what we have, and we certainly need to buy players with the ability to score this summer! I really doubt we can attract any better than Asante at the moment to be honest?

Did WBA score 2 with only two shots on goal? I really can't remember Iversen having to make any other saves?

Best performance from us I’ve seen in a long while, if only we could finish! This! A good point in the end, but we were by far the better team!

I hope we will go back for him in the summer! I don't. He's a dumb brute I don't care as he is more efficient than what we already have here.
