    Yeah I didn’t even notice he was playing tbh. His only redeeming quality is his hold up play and he just sat out wide most of the game doing nothing

    I'm not not sure if this unbeaten run is because of Loading or despite him. They're still playing for him though, whatever he said at half time did the trick. Onwards to Cardiff.

    They were doubling up on him to be fair - but most of the time, there`s a bit of the Djenepos about him.

    I still like Sulemana; I just think we need to try him through the middle a bit more. Teams have worked out how to play against him.

    I don’t rate him. He runs down blind alleys and doesn’t do anything productive.

    Every time he gets the ball he runs away from the action, ends up with no one to pass to and then gives it away.

    Reminds me of a guy I used to play with in the under 11s who just got the ball, put his head down and ran.

    Completely pointless player at the moment. He has the pace to be good but none of the other attributes

    Yes, the fact we've won 7 out of the last 10 games really backs this up. <doh>

    He meant struggle. And we have struggled against teams from the bottom end of the table. You can’t remotely facepalm that. We have easily beaten one, maybe two, teams in 18 games.

    We have made hard work of all the other 16.

    I really want to pull my hair out at some of the comments I'm reading. I think some people are under the impression we've picked up 4 points from the last 30 available, not 24. Yes we can play better and we could do with scoring more goals but the stats say we're in excellent form. We've seen glimpses of it really clicking (Leeds first half for example) but we're yet to fire on all cylinders consistently. Which is encouraging really.

    I said before; it’s hard to tell if our players are bailing martin out of if he is actually a good coach.

    I still have no idea. Long may the unbeaten run continue though

    Couldn’t beat Rotherham. Couldn’t beat Huddersfield. Luckily beat Sheffield Wed.
    All struggling teams at the time. Teams hoping to get promoted beat struggling teams with ease, or should do.

    I agree in principle- but Leicester just failed to beat Weds…

    My issue is we haven’t brushed any of them aside while our rivals have had quite a few big wins.

    This is much better than I thought we would be at this stage of this transitional season...

    Today for me just highlighted how poor our finishing is. Either indecision, choosing to pass, or simply hitting a lame shot straight at the keeper. Just woeful (apart from KWP of course).

    We need Stewart fit and firing. He will be the difference between winning narrowly, and winning comfortably. Just hope he gets fit some time before the playoffs start.
