    I don't believe my words have any effect on the game ...

    ... if they did the ref would've gone off on a stretcher.

    We need to start the second half in the front foot again, get in their faces and make then make mistakes. Ba took his goal well and it's doing his part in the defensive side but I would like him be more decisive in the attacking side of it - if that makes sense

    Their central defenders look ropey and aren't great at bringing the ball out of defence ...

    ... I'd back them to make at least one mistake and we need to make it count.

    I still believe if I change pre match pubs and we lose it’s my fault :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    A couple of times we’ve almost been one on one vs Hanley. I would fancy either Ba or Gelhardt in a foot race against their centre backs. They seem reluctant to knock it and run

    I would be tempted to knock it past them now and again and make it a foot race between them and either Gerhardt or Ba

    Regardless of the result today I'm just chuffed that we are still capable of playing well and maybe our season might not fizzle out.

    We're getting loads of space in midfield

    BallRd did superbly there. Sargent getting away there could be dangerous even though he’s in his own box! Clever

    Wins the ball free kick against him. Getting ridiculous now
