    We've still got a soft underbelly. That concerns me the most.

    I agree, which is why we should push teams back and keep pushing them back if we score.

    Change the keeper Johnson.
    Get Matthews in and put some confidence in the back 4.
    Lots of games to go, but lets start getting in with it, ffs

    Agreed. And stop ****ing around with this 2 man midfield, it doesn't work, especially with leadbitter in there.

    Should have won that. We are certainly creating plenty of chances. We are a side who now get players forward and we are making defenders go where they dont want to go.

    Absolute mystery why the penalty is not given. It is absolutely nailed on and the ref has the clearest of views.

    Jones looks a real threat and will be in the first 11 in no time. Vokins grew defensively second half and is decent on the ball. I think he will get better.

    I still wish we had a real box to box midfielder. Someone who can carry the ball or arrive late in the box. I also dont think Power is helping us at rb, he did well for a while but I now get concerned when it goes out to his side.

    I still think we are making progress and you can see evidence of what is being coached. We have no divine right to win every game but if we keep going in the direction we are I can see us winning enouhh by the end of the season to be in with a shout.

    Hull have lost 8 games, as have Shrewsbury who are in a relegation battle.

    A good run, by any team, and they look unstoppable ...

    ... we've lost 4 games all season.

    Things can change rapidly in such a poor league, KTF.

    Jones: You can't stop him, you can only foul him.

    Other teams get fouls we don't which is why we need a mouthy captain ...

    ... Power isn't a captain, or a full back imo.

    Of course, can't understand how they are deemed fit to take charge of any game tbf. Some of it is dangerous to the players

    Very true, as I say though we need to start winning and we don't look likely at present, that can change very quickly so hopefully it does. I'm sick of hoping in this league ****ing ****e league now

    Our keeper has nowt to do with the state of our defence at the minute. It’s been ages since we had a settled and solid back four. There’s been more changes in defence than anywhere else in the team.

    Keeper gets criticism and that’s fair enough when warranted but the defence was shaky today.

    Still think we will win promotion this season, via the play offs or less likely getting second spot. To do this LJ needs to find his best eleven this wasn't it, but still should have been good enough to beat what was in front of us to day. OaU

    It's just much easier to blame the keeper than look at what's going on in front of him.

    He was left totally stranded for the second goal.
