You do know that once articles like that are being written we are doomed.

... ...Hamer has an insane amount of energy. Can I have some please?

Thank you to whoever posted the link to the Blackburn supporters' blog. Never have I seen so many fans unhappy at being in the play offs. Heaven knows how they would handle the trauma of relegation to League 2. Given what they say about their own lack of power in front of goal without Bradley...

What impressed me on Monday was the decision to lay back to Doyle for the cross to equalize. He was half past his man and has the skill to get a cross in but took the better option

Decided to do one of these again: Sheaf & JWB the best. Not sure why people say JWB 'grew' in confidence. I thought he had their RB right from the start. He was clearly our best out ball. Godden: I give up. Tripe for large parts of the game, doesn't do the press we require, looked knackered...

Don't forget we will have have Callum Salter-Ostigaard, our longstanding left sided central defender and Sam Maatsen-Esbrand at left wing back.

That is the nub of it

Win all the home games, draw the easy away games but lose to Boro and Blackburn. 71 points not enough

Looks like only me and Robins like BNC.

Both Burroughs and Howley showed a major problem of the jump from U21 to Championship - the off the ball running. It's the sheer intensity required at this level. Once dispossessed you have to respond very quickly, like Dabo does, and neither of them did. Not sure Howley has the acceleration. I...

Drop Eccles - MotM in my opinion on Saturday - surely not. If Sheaf is fit, which is unlikely, play Sheaf and Eccles in the holding roles and get Hamer to pay further forward in place of Howley Failing that Maquire for Howley. It is a bit devil and the deep blue sea. Howley not really ready...

Bidwell chooses the wrong option too often. Not easy I realise.

Right on the mark, to which I would add 1., The two wing back substitions added something. 2. I gave Eccles MotM for his tackles and distribution 3. As you say, Hamer faded.otherwise he would have been MotM 4. I noticed both Howley and Burroughs lacked the speed of recovery after possession...

...like the fourth goal on Saturday

I'd swap Walker for Godden, and give him the brief to stick close to Vik to pick up the scraps

How many players come in during the summer - 5 or 6 max including loans. Having three from the youth set up who are potential first team regulars could make a big difference to how the still limited budget is spent. It's about time too, because Bayliss and Shipley were the last to come through...

Not sure Walker is up to the kind of cross Godden has in his armoury like the one he fed Vik against Sunderland or Fulham last year

Contractual obligations to the loaning club kicking in by any chance?

Have I missed something? Bidwell dropped

Assumptions 1. Whatever he plays it's going to be a patched up midfield 2. The object is to get at least draw,and possibly nick a win. Our injuries, their survival fight and new manager. It'll be hard, ugly and close 3. MR believes in consistency. He will stick to 3 at the back and pack the...
