Tidy but ineffective. It’s frustrating cos we all know there’s a bit more in the tank aaaand it’s a similar story to last seasons away games. Up and down the flank, back to centre backs, repeat. Cross occasionally.  Then, and now still, it doesn’t feel we’re brave enough to take a risk on a killer pass or drive towards the box often enough. No coincidence Dobbin and Sibley brought more of that and we looked a little more likely towards the end. Think this’ll be the main thing that separates a decent campaign and a promotion one. Feel sorry for collins cos he works his socks off but is often fighting the whole back line for a cross. Can’t be too disheartened in the grand scheme of things. Last season we probably lost this one 1-0.

I think it kills them that in their moment of long awaited glory and our lowest standing for decades, we’re actually the happier fans. We’re Teflon at the moment and they’re desperate to twist a knife that doesn’t exist. Though most of the knuckle draggers on Twitter probably can’t comprehend any of that.

Thought he’d be wasted at right back but first 15 mins especially he did a great job of getting involved in attack with NML and his tracking back at pace saved a certain goal when otherwise clean through.

He’s a great player but there’s still a question mark about where he’s best; in the middle he’s very busy, wins lots of fouls but, despite having a decent shot on him, seems there’s still a bit of a question mark over his creative effectiveness. Long story short, this might actually be a good fit for him, depending on what the rest of the team looks like.

Tonight reminded me of last season when Lawrence was suspended; around the box happier to knock it backwards instead of chancing the progressive pass or drive into the gaps. He seemed to be the only one at times that broke this cycle. I’m not reading too much into it, but we will need to break that cycle and be a bit cannier/braver to do anything in this division.

Do you really hope that? After the last few years we’ve had?
People either have very short memories or are watering down the gene pool.

Isn’t this the fundamental of modern football?
I can’t see the business plan allowing for too much audacious spending, even on wages. The pot we’ve got, if we went big on a couple of players I doubt there’d be enough to even fill the rest of the squad.
im sceptical those signings would happen and if they do you’d hope it’s because the project appeals of a bit of a sleeping giant and a strong chance of first team football.

So today summed up this season really; lots to be positive about, slick midfield play, promising youths, good backing but ultimately lacking up top and end up coming up short… and leaving with an uneasy feeling about our future, still.
on a personal positive, my first visit to pride park again for a few years (yet feels an eternity), with my 5 year old daughter in tow for her first ever game, and she actually enjoyed it. Does that constitute child cruelty, when we live near Leicester?

For the longest time I wanted Roos to have his chance, ever since seeing him in that epic cup game at Fulham. He’s struggled for consistency though and for every few great saves you always feel there’s a poorly dealt with cross not far away that shoots us in the foot.
Allsop I presumed had come in to make up the numbers and I didn’t really get it with the few squad spaces we had available. Especially seeing as his first few appearances he looked shaky as anything. Since then though I’ve been won around and especially crosses into the box, I’ve not felt as relaxed with our keeper in a very very long time. For all the pressure we’ve soaked up at times this season I think he’s done exceptionally, and in the grand scheme of things I’d guess his stats for goals being his fault versus his league peers is low. 
 
Long story short; didn’t know why we signed him, but fully behind him now.

This one always stands out for me too. No idea how we didn't score that day.

Despite this seasons heroics so far, I’d still take instant relegation if it means having a club, a faint hope of having bezzie mate Rooney stay on and actually retain some of the players and kids, aaand have a fair crack at league one. No pb before end of the season and the foundation of the club cracks; academy falls apart and we’re at least 2 years down there if we’re lucky.
