    Quite enjoyed that, probably not great for the neutral but I never felt they were going to equalise.

    We are capable of playing some real quality stuff like what we scored from, we need to do it more often though. Having Luke in midfield would help with that with his link up play and decision making.

    Would've been a better game, for us, without the card imo.

    Never mind it's 3 points and a home game next, Portsmouth and Peterborough dropped points at home.

    Portsmouth are away to Charlton on Saturday so someone's dropping points.

    McGeady stayed on 20 minutes too long.

    Great to see the likes of Gooch, O'Nien, coming back but ...

    ... ffs let's stop this experiment with Power at full back before I have a seizure.

    I've said before wyke will scores goals if you put them on a plate, it's his all round play that is ****.
    Then again I thought he had a good game.
    Anyway who is O'Neil never heard of him for being our best player

    Ideally I would like Sanderson, Willis, Wright & Hume as our back 4.

    Only Manchester United and Sunderland are unbeaten away from home this season.

    But there is no creative in this league
    I think we were as good as any one else
    We are not good but neither are the rest

    I’ve slated Wyke at times since he arrived, but he’s a likeable lad, gives his all and it’s brilliant to see him looking happy and confident with his goals too. Well done lad

    Thought that was one of Wyke best games for us, even without the goal.

    Did what he should do more backing in and causing a bit of aggro for them.

    If he did that and we had mobility in midfield, that hopefully Luke brings back, we be getting somewhere.

    I've not paid for any streams, only time I've watched us have been the 2 games on Sky.
    I hate being negative and it's pretty obvious, but if we dont get reinforcements in we wont go up in the automatics. But we live in hope.

    I don’t disagree that we shouldn’t be good enough. But this league is appalling.

    Just had a bit of a thought - does this season have a familiar feeling about it? Not that great at home but a good away record. 1989-90 season? Hopefully we won't need the playoffs and a dodgy accountant to get promoted this time

    Twice in two games we have managed last 10 minutes really well. I have been critical of Power this season but fair play he has been really good at rb. Not many l1 teams can replace a key centre half centre with a quality one like Sanderson who I thought handled Drinan really well. O'Nien and Gooch cominh back. Clever subs again. Momentum is building.

    O9, Embleton and +1 would do me. O9 is a bloody good niggly midfielder, Embers (learn to release the ball at the right time) at least attacks plus one of Scowen or another would be my choice.

    well, another case of 'will take that'...

    solid if not spectacular, some nice crisp passing movements when we decided to get forward a wee bit quicker, so many wasted long hoofs though but again, some little signs of improvement.

    for a change i am now feeling a little more secure when the opposition get an attack going, not too long ago it seemed they only needed one attack to score, gooch's running was welcome to see near the end, scowen again a decent first half but faded in the 2nd, power guilty of far too many of those little drag back type first touches which leave him facing back to his own goal and kills forward momentum otherwise another good game and very good assist.

    a little higher in the table and, dare i say it, a half decent little run coming together, commentators tried hard to put their curse on the game by going on about how we are the only unbeaten away record and how once we score first we usually win etc

    6 points of 2nd spot who knows ? half way mark if we get the same return 2nd half season 78 points will be a play off spot maybe 80 points gets us up, Lincoln have won 8 games away though, our away record the best can remember other than 1998-99. Oxford have won 6 on the trot as well.
    away M K dons 3, Shrews 3, Burton 3, Crewe 3, POMPEY 0, Wigan 3 ,Accy 1, b Rovers 3, peterboro 0, Blackpool 1 hull 1, plymouth 1,
    Home Gill 1 , DONC 1, Fleetwood 3, Swindon 3, rochdale 3, LINC 1, Blackpool 3, OXFORD 1, CHARLTON 1, ACCY 3, =71 points.

    Indeed, and with a game in hand.
    .
    Plus 22 games yet to go.

    Get some consistency going and second place (in fact first place) is achievable.
