The table never lies. The best team are Birmingham, the worst are Shrewsbury. But which team that you watched did you think were the best and which team did you think were the worst only counting the ones you've seen.

You can't include your team. The worst team I saw was us (by a mile) but I've got to choose someone else. We only see our opponents once or twice so we might have picked a day when the sun shone on them or they turned up in dog turd.

The best for me was Barnsley. We played well against them but they were fitter, stronger and better than us and won 0-3 in Crawley. Other teams gave scored the same amount or more but we didn't play that well against them.

The worst were Bristol Rovers, don't get me wrong, we stank that day as well but they were awful. We won 1-0 but the only thought I had was how terrible the game and both teams were.

The best over 2 legs was lincoln, we lost 4-1 and 3-0, we were dreadful in both games, obviously over the season there’s not much between us over the season.

Worst - peterborough won 3-0 and 4-2

Birmingham probably but honest mention to Stockport, very effective both times.

Worst probably Cambridge. We were awful when we played them but we still won, so they must be really bad.

Best to visit us were probably Huddersfield and Orient, best away was Birmingham (didn't have to try too much mind) or Reading.

Worst home and away was Shrewsbury. You get doubled by us and it's straightforward enough.

I have to be predictable and say that Brum were probably the best side - even if Charlton smashed us the hardest.

Funnily enough I find it really hard to say who was worst, there just wasn't anyone who stood out as truly pathetic cannon fodder, the way that say, Carlisle or FGR did in previous seasons.

Maybe that's more a sign that we struggled against teams who stuck men behind the ball than anything.

We did thump Stockport 5-0 away but I think that was just a combination of us genuinely playing well, and them having an off night, rather than being a genuinely poor team.

If I have to pick one "worst" then I guess I'll go with the Gas, but they were just bad, not "banter club" bad.

I was very impressed with Stockport at their place on New Year’s Day, but they were pretty gash in the home tie. Same goes for Bolton, Charlton and Orient.

The only team we’ve looked properly threatened by in both games is Reading. We didn’t beat Northampton this season either but that was down to Blues being off it in both games rather than them being any good.

Worst team is a toss up between; Bristol Rovers, who were absolute dogshit at our place but at least had a go at theirs. Lincoln didn’t even touch the ball in our penalty area at St Andrews.

I’ll go with Cambridge though. Probably the worst team I’ve ever seen Blues play in a league fixture, the way we walked through them straight up the middle of the park for one of our goals was alarming. I expect they’ll be even worse today but who knows.

Best were Birmingham - for 70 minutes at their place they were leagues above anyone else.

Worst were Shrewsbury, but Northampton run them close.

Am a bit baffled at Peterborough this season. I saw them at home to Cambridge (who admittedly were poor) but they looked like a fantastic side in that game and more than deserved there 6-1 win that day. Looked like they played some good stuff and had huge attacking threats.

I think Posh had a long run of their best players being injured when they couldn’t buy a win, and were actually flirting with dropping into the relegation zone at one point.

Thank you so much for bringing that game back to contiousness, most of us Cambridge fans have only recently learned to sleep at night again.
Pish are a funny one, on their day they were unplayable, but once Poku got injured they fell away badly. Very much a confidence team, and once the rot set in the young players couldn’t handle it. They got a couple of key players back just in time from injury, otherwise they might well have been relegated. Sounds like a lot of their better players are leaving this summer, so I expect them to really struggle next season, as I doubt much of the transfer fees will get reinvested given the clubs financial position.

Still think that was more us being dreadful and Poku being mint rather than anything else. Which only makes it worse.

Still didn't need bringing up again!
