    Job done, 3 points. Thought we played well at times, plenty of control in the game. I thought the two wide lads played well and Jobe was really solid.

    Re penalties ONien will be designated taker. Pro teams dont decide between themselves on the pitch. He maybe got the gig when Isidor was benched? Big question for me is why Isidor didnt take this one. Has he been binned off altogether? Mundles reaction was a bit ****e imo, team game and all that. A talking from Regis to him about standards I hope. And the penalty was a shocker <doh>

    I have never really understood penalties are so difficult. I loved them, easy goal. You just have to make an 18 yard unopposed pass. Treat it like a pass to a teammate with no pressure on the ball. Players do weird things with them, absloutely no need. If a player doesnt fancy that then it is mad imo.

    He is absolutely carrying Dan Neil mind. Neil has had a really poor 2 months apart from Shef Wed.

    I thought he was fairly solid today, did his job without much showmanship. Kept us moving.

    Overall happy

    large spells that was a good game with the odd moment of madness, still not confident in Patto

    Browne, Hume, Isidor, Mundle and Jobe all get shouts of praise but MOTM for me was Roberts

    not against the O9 penalty decision either.

    we’re still in this

    haway the lads

    What a bizarre take, Dan Neil had a very good game today and has only played poor recently where everyone else has, particularly jobe been poor the last few.

    Got the job done without being overly impressive, suppose that’s a positive.

    they didn’t offer much mind so could argue that down to our shape

    I must say mind, we’re built to be without the ball and we were pretty poor in transition when it got turned over.

    been on the fence a while but would be looking at a change in goal regardless of what league we end up in. just comes across as lethargic to me.

    Just what I am seeing. Today was mildly better than previous weeks but thought he was poor with the ball again. Jobe seems to be the force and better on the ball.

    His work rate was excellent, seemed to win every duel as well. Needs to practice his shooting though telegraphs every shot and multiple times this season now weak side foot efforts from good positions.

    Just think he is no where near the levels he has been. A canny run of games he has been average/poor. For a player of his talent I want to see more. Especially at home to Millwall.

    Disappointed to see Mundle walk straight down the tunnel in a strop over not being allowed to take the Pen. I do however see his frustration being overlooked so a defender can take it instead, especially when he was the one that got fouled.

    We have alot of improving to do come May when the playoffs begin. Im hoping Le Fee can bring back abit of magic

    Centre back taking the pen? Disgrace.

    Pretty dire first half, much better in the second and deserved the win, partly because Millwall didn't offer much but we were decent overall.

    Penalty was a bizarre situation but hey ho didn't matter in the end. You'd think Wilson should be on them or does he plan to never take one again.

    Thought he was brilliant today personally. Jobe is going to be that as he’s our advanced of the two and Neil is in the quarterback role

    I would be interested to see Neils stats today. I thought he got through some of the rougher work well enough. One of those games where he digs in more so others can have a bit more freedom.
