    Gives the oppos a sporting chance I suppose.

    Seriously though he should be starting if fit. Even when he doesn't play well he scores and it's not like Sinclair has shown much.

    Poor first half cost us top spot, still the unbeaten run preserved and we move on.

    Yeh, I don't get it myself.

    He's our form striker. Why wouldn't you start with him.

    As for not winning, we've won 8 straight games in all competitions. Its a big ask to keep winning.

    The great thing is that we didn't lose! We have that fight in us when we go behind.

    Thought today would be difficult, don't know why but Josh saved our bacon.
    we keep our long unbeaten run going so onto the next game, you can't win them all.

    Our strongest team would have won that game, but I understand the starting selection, maybe the changes put the best available 11 on the pitch eventually but we ran out of time. A point is a point after all.

    Being a Wycombe fan we are at least keeping it even having taken a point at Pompey early in the season, & taking 3pts off Peterborough the other week. You will still go up.

    Played a decent side today and the return will certainly be interesting.

    Ross must have his reasons for 'saving' Maja and it almost paid off.

    I guess he's still carrying an injury and while he's not ready for 90 mins it makes more sense to bring him on at the end than start him.

    It’s a long season but I feel it’s these games that will decide automatic promotion, hopefully we will be better especially first halve next time out, two points dropped

    Meh, we werentwexactly going to win every game for the rest of the season. If we draw one for every six wins for the rest of the season we'll be top by a mile come May. As long as we dodon make a habit of it.

    Smug,
    Josh hardly had a kick in Tuesday at Morecambe other than his goal, too say he was disinterested is a bit harsh but he did score with his one and only chance.
    Perhaps his ankle is still an issue and Ross is trying to protect him.
    Sinclair looks the part but doesn't produce and if Maja is fully fit he has to start ahead of a loanee everytime.
