    You’re a great poster, Smug, but please just let things be sometimes.

    A number of our fans bemoan the apparent lack of experience in the side,but such experience is growing into these players match by match. They've had a difficult time, 3 coaches all telling them different things,and a poor run of results. I'm sure they will have learned bucket loads this season and will be better players for it.
    A good end of season will set us up nicely for next year.

    Good win and we didn’t have to risk Alese/roberts! Hopefully be a good end to the season, would like to see some of the young lads that have featured on the bench recently maybe get some minutes and see if they can be more involved next season. Might save us signing a few if we focus on the academy lads

    I agree, he played really well and looked more like himself ...

    ... he's definitely one of our best buys, great scouting by the club.

    Does anyone know if Aouchiche had been nominated penalty taker before the game ...

    ... or did he just threaten to run away with the ball, he was definitely clinging onto it <laugh>

    Impressive. Been a while since there's been one of our players I've enjoyed watching more than Neil. There's a touch of class to everything he does.

    He reminds me of Porterfield, not speedy but always manages to make space and time

    I think we'll struggle to keep hold of him in the summer. Glad for him but gutted for us as a club

    I could watch him all day long. He is a rolls royce of a footballer. I love the way he receives the ball, on the half turn all the time. The very best centre mids do that and it is why they can play in there. His weight of passing is unreal as well, I cant think of anybody else in this division that can match him. Then his speed of though and vision. He is so calm under pressure and always will receive to take pressure away from teammates. The impressive thing is he is still improving as well and his attitude seems 100%. Hope he ia still here next season, but the big boys are circling.

    If he could add goals to his game he'd be unbelievable

    Aye, should have scored yesterday. He is striking the ball better than a year or two ago I think, but room for improvement for sure.
