Great film

certainly hope so

Agree with all of this except I'd put 'did' for 'done' in Hiwula's evaluation ;) Think we were watching the same game!

pleasant enough to watch and we're a much better footballing side than them but one does wonder who's going to stick it in unlikely to be Bakayoko on this showing... one fears the 0-1, as many have said

I also live abroad and get to one or two matches a season, though unlike you I have little idea why the club I have supported ferociously and exclusively for 33 years is menaced with expulsion from the football league. Greed? Pride? They wouldbe my first guesses... Anyway, I applaud your...

Anything but 100% in all games. He was a maddeningly ineffective player who seemed to spend long periods of many games either invisible or baying petulantly for imaginary free-kicks. You're probably right he needed to play in a two upfront though. Perhaps his isolation was the cause of his...

Watched on ifollow Really entertaining game. Thought Barnsley were the best opponents I've seen, really quick to break from defence to attack, neat passing around our area and some skilful players. Feared the worst tuning in at 0-1 but we never rolled over. Our equaliser did us the world of...

Yeah, definitely, didn't mean to sound picky

Ponticelli stops running for some reason as the tackle is made. Dunno why - maybe he thinks Shipley is about to shoot? It looks more like a penalty every time I see it though - their number 4 just barges Shipley down to prevent him getting the ball. That said, in real time it looked 50/50 at...

Thought Turgott was an attacking midfielder, Odelusi arguably too

It's funny watching the highlights compared to the game (ifollow, in my case). Events appear in a new light. Bayliss gets absolutely clattered after the Bakayoko chance. Was that a free-kick and yellow card? Should have been but can't remember. Their corner was well outside the corner segment...

Just been watching Tuesday's highlights. Burge saved us again and again and again. MOTM easily. I think the anger at the way we lost to Burton found an easy outlet in critcising Burge and it all became rather unseemly. All the same, he is erratic, that cannot be denied. New keeper? Not sure...

That was still worrying me before tonight

Not sure we deserved that but Burge kept us in it again and again - MOTM by a country mile. Meyler looking leggy and off the pace, yes. Bakayoko still doesn't look good enough overall. Brown did well when he came on, Shipley stiffened us up while still being less than a top player. Why no shot...

Fleetwood have looked more dangerous though not necessarily much better Great goal Hiwula and he's playing well. Not seen much of Bakayoko apart from his astonishing goal. Giving the ball away too much in middle of the park and often end up chasing backwards towards our own goal - Bayliss...

Strength to fucking strength, ace stuff Kelly's pass back put me in mind of his pass back against Notts County away last season, albeit from a less pressured position this time

Played very well for the first 15 minutes and then in bursts thereafter. Burton were considerably less able than us a footballing unit but played to their strengths, saw out our early pressure then imposed their game of hassling, pressuring and crowding our men. A notable change in mood and flow...

Stockdale 8 - did nothing wrong as far as I could see. Looked unfit though! Sterling 7 - pretty good. Not to the forefront as much as recently. Willis 7 - didn't seem in any trouble but worried me a couple of times holding on to it for too long or making avaerage clearances Hyam 8 - seemed to...

They're maybe the most limited opponents I've seen, twice, though Plymouth and Wimbledon weren't far behind.

Abysmal - did no one predict that's what Blackpool would try to do?
