    How aren't we in a bad place? 5 losses on the spin is the definition of bad. Bottom of the form table. I get you're positive but this is next level.

    For the reason I just gave.

    Don't make out I'm stupidly optimistic mate, I'm aware of the results.

    For me Dodds needs to build on that second half against Leicester and that would mean keeping the ones in that played the majority of that half. Rigg deserves another start after his performance as does Adil. I would take Ekwah out and bring Jobe into his position. There's no point in having a squad if you keep playing the same players week in week out

    Agree with this. Ekwah needs a bench shaped kick up the arse. If anyone impacts they play. Rusyn to start up top and I’d have Rigg Aouchiche and Ba as the 3 behind with Jobe and Neil sitting behind them.

    :emoticon-0102-bigsm Modern life marra! I'm with Keano on this. I've got 3 kids and my missus didn't want me there at any of them. After I'd taken her in,the Midwives told me to scarper and come back in a few hours. I went back to work for the first two.....had to do the school pick up for the last one! <laugh>

    It won't. I think weve loaned him out to find a new club.
    He made his feelings about not being happy well known, and you can see why when you look at that cameo he made to set the goal up and that was the last time he ever featured for us.

    Was tongue in cheek from me tbh! I was there for birth of both my kids and its best moments of my life, wouldn't expect anyone to miss it for work!
