    Was very impressed by the debut of dale stephens yesterday that i think he should start on tuesday,he just seemed to be comfortable on the ball and always tried to make himself available for someone to pass to.

    I would drop chaplow as i think he has gone off the boil recently although i do still like him as a player,maybe just needs a kick up the butt.

    What did everyone else make off stephens?

    Seemed very calm and did the right pass at the right time. Sometimes a short pass is what is required.

    Yes I was impressed with him when he came on, slotted in seamlessly alongside Hammond, I would have no qualms about starting him against Charlton. Perhaps Forte instead of Guly? Also maybe Seabo to give Jedi a rest, although he does seem pretty fit at the moment.

    Didn't put a foot wrong that I noticed, seems a very tidy player indeed.

    -Dan...why the hyphen. What's missing off the front of your name? Are you like the masked stranger?

    Didn't do anything wrong in my opinion but then again I didn't really notice him lol


    Would happily welcome him into the starting 11 <ok>

    Sometimes it is the unsung heroes that make a team tick. Quiet and steady start which will give him a boost as he was in the winning part of our game and must have enjoyed himself.

    You can see how much relief and sprit there is in the camp by looking at the match pics on the OS.

    See the one where Barnard is off celebrating with about 2 or 3 others running after him, then Lambert in the back ground clenching his fists towards the ground. Weirdly it's a picture I love ahaha <cheers>

    Looked so calm and assured on the ball yesterday , settled the game and the midfield down at a time when we needed it. All 3 subs by Adkins were strokes of genius imo.

    With luck Dale will soon be a regular starter and then our first signing in the summer. Not heard one person say anything negative about him.

    i thought his introduction changed the game for us, he moved the ball really well in midfield, very impressed by him.
