God, don't remind me. I still fully expect us to find a way to somehow lose to you again regardless of the two sides' respective forms.

It was starting to get a little nervy late on with Wycome throwing caution to the wind in search of an equaliser, but that scrappy second goal will do the job. Stockdale really should do better, but credit for Idah to get himself in for that tap-in while a defender is trying to bear hug him to...

There's the breakthrough at last, great strength from Buendia to get the cross in and then Pukki doing as he always does (though the defender really should be able to block that shot rather than letting it slip through his legs). Two very poor misses from Hernandez either side of that goal, a...

Frustating for us so far as expected. Wycombe were never going to make it easy for us and they're definitely giving it a good go, but I think we have enough nous about ourselves to eventually find a way to break through. At the very least, I think this is one which we have to continue to be...

Good to see Gibson make his return to the starting XI today, and having Hernandez start in place of the injured Cantwell will be very good for the former's match fitness to make him a more threatening option for the next run of games. Decent start so far, but Wycombe defending deep and in...

Another defeat for Swansea to show that games in hand only mean anything if you make them count, and that points on the board are king. Watford losing to Bournemouth and having someone sent off is a nice bonus as well, though of course Brentford went on to win again. Still, if we win tomorrow...

Wycombe away tomorrow, and this one really strikes me as a potential banana skin as they've picked up a few results of late and come very close in most of their recent defeats (at least, in terms of scoreline). Cantwell and Hernandez both likely to miss out with injury, so will likely see...

The suggestion seems to be that the restructure at that level which was planned for this season (but delayed due to last season being made N & V) may go ahead, as there's a reluctance to keep on delaying that. For that to work would mean some teams at Step 5 would have to be promoted to Step 4...

A win while playing nowhere near your best is always welcome, and getting this one tonight to keep the winning run going feels like it could be a crucial moment as we enter the final third of the season. The 3-1 scoreline definitely flatters us tonight, but we'll take it. I would feel sorry for...

Very poor from us tonight, haven't really got going at all against Birmingham and did not deserve to be in the lead. Of course, had we scored the penalty to double our lead we might be faring better, but this is terrible from us so far. Though I'm not too surprised. We haven't rotated at all...

Gibson still out for tomorrow's game, but no other injury concerns for us tomorrow (besides the perpetually-injured Byram, anyway). Based on that, would fully expect to see us start the same 11 again, though I would like to see Vrancic given a rest so Dowell can get more minutes in the number 10...

So Bournemouth have gone for Jonathan Woodgate as their new manager instead. That does not strike me as an appointment that will see them get promoted, especially given how badly he did at Middlesbrough (just 9 wins in 41 games). Will be very happy if that sees them slip out of the play-off...

Well, I don't think we could have possibly asked for a better set of results this weekend, with all our rivals besides Watford losing while we've picked up another three points. Sounds like we made hard work of it with poor shooting and that we could have made better use of substitutions again...

It's interesting just how quickly things can change. Just a week ago, Brentford seemed to be unstoppable, but now they've gone and lost three in a row to make things really interesting at the top. We've also regained our mojo in that time, and Watford seem to also be coming on strong now. My...

Rotherham at home today. As usual at this level, they've struggled to find any real form and find themselves the bottom, while we've started to hit form again after our poor run in January. From past experience against Warne's Rotherham sides, I know they'll set out to make life difficult for...

As someone well divorced with the realities of football at this level, my view is that I always like to see a mix of teams come up from the National League into League 2; that usually means one established former Football League and one of the more traditional non-league sides who either haven't...

Dartford aren't happy either, based on these quotes from the statement they published today: "The result, in simple terms, was that out of 64 member clubs, 40 voted to carry on and 24 wanted the season to end. This just goes to show that the league rules are flawed, where a vast minority of...

Gloucester City also starting legal action against the outcome, albeit on the basis that they (unsurprisingly) want promotion from Step 2 still. Imagine you'll also have York City and AFC Fylde supporting this and/or Dorking's legal action at the very least.

As I expected, we ended up taking the foot off in the second half and just opted to see things out instead. Would have liked to see Farke use subs earlier when we're so comfortable and with another game fast approaching on Saturday, but oh well. Good to see Brentford slip up again, but mildly...

Well, there's two just before half-time, and it sounds like it could be more if not for some excellent saves from the keeper. We do usually drop off in pace and intensity for the first 15-20 minutes of the second half, so would expect us to focus more on seeing this out than going for too many...
