    Recruitment has been shocking

    ....and I should say, that despite a poor performance today against Boro, there are still question marks over Collins. I thought Ruddy was different class when Brum were here. Commanded the area

    Recruitment has been shocking

    All the players with the exception of Ayari have performed to a greater or lesser extent and we no longer play wing backs that Da Silva is best suited to. In particular the defence based on an aging McFadz and loans is now much better. But it is factual to say that our two best players have...

    This game is going to indicate one way or another how reliant we have become on Kitching. On reflection cannot see a clean sheet without him, so it is down to Wright, Saka and O'Hare to get us an equalizer - or Bobby Thomas deciding to go rogue and show Ellis Simms how it's done

    No, I am thinking planned or assumed even if we were say 1-0 or 2-0 up.

    Not giving up on Simms at all. But we need better for now, hence a loan

    Squad Surgery: Coventry City

    The Hamer replacement above all else But with Simms misfiring, Godden past his sell-by and Wright now at home on the left of a 4-3-3, surely the next call for a loanee is a physically strong front man, probably from a top tier club.

    Transfer Rumour Marc Leonard

    His only only achievement of note was in the FA Cup 3rd Round v Stoke when he put a corner right onto Tom Davies's head who put it back into the mix for Jordan Willis to score the first goal

    It is bazaar that Hamer is allegedly worth 10 times more than O'Hare

    Bids was surprisingly off yesterday, but he has been so good lately dropping would be harsh. I agree with the rest. When Robins did it, I did wonder if a front three of Palmer, Wright and Sakamoto might be a quite tricksy for many Championship defences and worth another go

    It looks like I am virtually on my own in thinking this a poor performance against a side that relied on great lumps at both back and front with Barry Bannon in the middle. Were it not for a piece of brilliance against a tired defence by Sakamoto this would have been a scruffy 1-0 victory at...

    Kitching

    They are rarely rescinded - point of principle. Won't it depend on how they interpret Kitching's response to the first attempt to nut him? If there is any sight of physicality then he's toast. If it's seen as only verbal, he has a chance.

    Superb: Sakamoto: although he should cut in less, and take his man on more Good: Kitching and Thomas Bang Average: Collins, Van Ewik, Eccles O'Hare, Wright, Lati Poor: Bidwell, Godden Lets face it bar one sublime piece of finishing in the 89th minute this was a bang average performance against...

    "Lati was good", dream on. Not quick enough of thought or good enough passer. The problems are in midfield

    And when we go short, by the time we reach the point that a long kick reaches, we have usually lost the ball anyway, so there is no actual difference. Playing from the back is also very predictable and easy to counter. It only works imho if the goalkeeper releases very quickly catching the...
