Jed Wallace has already hit the crossbar, and Romain Padovani went close with a volley, from a Rickie Holmes cross.
Ryan Bird has replaced Big Pat. Danny East injured, replaced by Bondz N'Gala, who is playing in the centre of defence, with Joe Devera moving to right back.
But we are starting to improve defensively, that is a real plus, sometimes a bit of luck can win games like this. I'm still happy
Two clean sheets on the trot is something to be thankful for I suppose, but I really think we should have beaten the division's rock bottom team
Yeah, pretty rubbish result looking objectively, clean sheet or not. If we are going to have any chance of getting even close to the play offs, we need to beat the teams in 24th and 23rd, etc as we will not beat the Fleetwoods and Oxfords of the league.
Well we certainly haven't got these players playing together as a team yet. Makes me wonder what on earth has been going on training wise since July. Richie Barker made an interesting comment in his post-match interview, he said the reason for not going 4-4-2 is that the players (today's team) didn't suit that formation.
I think RB should have brought David Connolly on 15/20 minutes earlier than he did - perhaps in place of Padovani who seemed a little quiet.
