Completely agree but we don't have them at the minute and our best performance(s) have arguably been without him. Until we sign some wingers he's practically worthless in this team.

Handing a team their first loss of the season before handing a team their first win. That's us Had a really bad feeling when I saw the lineup. 4 central midfielders wasn't going to work. Why can't Vernam get a sniff when we need some trickery and attacking intent on the ball? He's the closest...

For the record the pub team comment wasn't aimed at Mansfield, more that we're capable of losing to one on our day. You're more than welcome to believe what you want though. I'm more than used to seeing us get a result like this. It's annoying but we're on an upward trend, I'm sure we'll forget...

:lol: That was coming all day long. Told you that we are more than capable of being world beaters one week and unable to beat a pub team the next. Sounds like we missed Wright a lot when he went off. Said all window that we needed another winger, fingers crossed it's nothing serious or we're...

About the team I expected, a mixture of height in Hanson and pace in Wright. Cook and Robson in the middle allow us to really knock it about. Robson has been brilliant recently and could be the Embleton-like spark we've needed to really kick on.

Jolley tactically masterminded the win at Exeter just a few days after he tactically failed at Chelsea, which in itself isn't a shameful thing but it underlines the fact that he is still very much learning the trade. He's given himself a dilemma here as he knows he can play a team without...

What a win that is. That's the second time this season we've fielded a side that is clearly not our favoured 11 and won, Donny being the other. Our strength in depth may well only be youth but what an incredible job they're doing. Pollock and Wright are playing with so much confidence and it's a...

Strange selections up front with no Green or Hanson but not totally unexpected after Wednesday. Absolute bags of pace for us there but also bags of inexperience. Should be an interesting game, we'll be fully set up to counter attack.

Pulisic was garbage was well. I was very impressed with Billy Gilmour, always demanded the ball and already had a forward pass lined up before he'd even received it. Reece James was an obvious standout too. Lampard will do well by getting those youngsters involved in the first team. I don't...

Yeah we were absolutely shattered by the second half last night, that combined with us pushing forward and leaving gaps at the back, Chelsea could have genuinely scored 15 if not for some poor finishing and also some great saves by Macca. I don't think the loss will impact us mentally, in fact...

It was a professional performance by Chelsea to be fair and when that happens there's very little chance. They've got some very good youngsters. Players worked their bollocks off and everything caught up with them in the end. We were sadly too limited to trouble them too much and didn't get...

Looks like we're trying to man mark again but they're just running past their markers with the pace they have and it's worked wonders for them. 2-1 would have been a great scoreline to go in with but fear that penalty has put the nail in the coffin. We are a very 2nd half heavy team this season...

This one stuck with me in recent years, fantastic hit for the Gimps, they'd finally had enough of us ruining their Christmas

Completely sold out, great effort. I bought two tickets for the home end as a backup while waiting for my brother to borrow some season tickets, he managed to but they gave him the wrong stubs!! Secured them today though thankfully. Looking forward to a Mattie Pollock masterclass that will earn...

It's two things really, the length of time it took after the goal was initially given and everybody was ready for the restart. Then the fact it's completely inconsistent for the 4th official to get involved as heavily as he did here. If he is getting involved this time then why isn't he when...

It was very bizarre and it's a fine coincidence that it would go in favour of the league's new golden boys, but it is what it is. Like you said we weren't good enough in the end. That goal I have no doubt would have changed the game and I'd have even fancied us to win it if it saw them open up...

Reminded me of a classic conference game, that. Lost to a dreadful Salford side who shut up shop as soon as they scored. Sadly we showed how one dimensional we are at the minute, we are seriously lacking creativity in the middle so when Hanson isn't on it we offer very little and have no hope of...

How are we meant to feel about that? On one hand it was the correct decision but how on earth can the 4th official intervene like that, a good while after the decision was given? It's annoying because while we've been pretty poor, Salford have been utter shite and we really needed the lift from...

Sounded like we had a poor day and that Jolley probably got it wrong but we managed a point through sheer character and perseverance once again. We are becoming a very hard team to beat.

Yep it would have been the easiest tap in of Hanson's career but I think anybody would've taken the shot themselves after a run like that, especially after beating the last defender as easily as he did. He showed he's capable of getting his head up and passing it against Port Vale, if he can...
