Thought we played better last week and lost. Still it's 3 points and you can only beat what's in front of you. I don't like the back 3 - or at least I don't think Cashin, Nelson or Bradley like a back 3. Maybe if we commit the wing backs a bit less - go for solidity.

I think the stats show we aren't as direct of late and we don't seem to try and get it wide as fast at all costs. Now whether this is because Warne has changed his tactics or the players are getting closer to what Warne has always asked I don't know but I think it's for the better. Our press looks better too - Collins seems to be fitter and his press has more intensity and he's being backed up better. Overall we now look like a top 6 side, even a side who might challenge for top 2 in a weak season. If we are going to go with a back 5 though for me I still need convincing - I'm not saying it can't work but I've yet to see enough to be confident the defensive frailties of early season are overcome.

If the offer is right - £2m plus- I'd sell. Nothing against Bird but we need to keep an eye on the longer game and we will need to restructure in the Summer and that can't be another group of free transfers. That means selling at the right time something we've been poor at in the past.

Thought he was at fault for both tbh. FK was his side and a good height for a keeper.

Going to say Nelson. Defenders get less of the glory so him over NML.

Yes it's noticeable where I sit/stand in South lower.

Yeah that's how I see him and I just don't think we have the forwards that can take advantage of his crosses anyway. Collins is probably our best bet but he's hardly dominant in the air or one to get across the face of defenders. Then people will say he doesn't get enough service but a striker can make average balls into the box look like good ones or vice versa.

I don't think the atmosphere is that bad. I'm in the South and it's ok. This is all seater stadiums for you - you'll get the odd season where something like a promotion or a points deduction will just get everyone behind the team but for most of the last 30 years this is what the atmosphere is. F**est have supposedly had a good atmosphere under Cooper but now that guy with the connection has gone and they are no longer the new boys in the Prem it'll soon go back to how it was.

ATG 1Wildsmith - 6.5. 23Ward - 4.5 penalty was really poor, didn't get many crosses in, his touch looked poor failed to kill a couple of diagonals. 2Wilson 8 Goal and assist in 45 minutes 35Nelson 7.5 Just a really good defender at this level 6Cashin. 7.5. One really good block and solid throughout, always wants the ball 3Forsyth. 6.5. Did OK, got one really good chance 4Hourihan 7. Great finish - part of a midfield that controlled the game in parts but lost control in parts 16Thompson. 6 7Barkhuizen. 5.5. Tried hard, couple of poor crosses, not his best game 20Elder 6. 22Fornah 5.5. Tried hard 19Sibley 7. Good closing down, created a few chances, should have played someone in at the end but even there he did well to get into that position. 8Bird. 6.5. 11Méndez-Laing 6.5 19John-Jules 5. Didn't really get into the game, agree with Warne the 2 didn't really work like you'd hope 9Collins 7. Really good finish but again needs to threaten the goal more - it's that balance of closing down while being in tne right place when we do win the ball.

Yes, I think a lot of people have been really shocked by what happened.

Id definitely offer NML a new contract in the Summer - for me he's been excellent. I'd also offer Fozzy a contract if we don't go up - even if it's planned as cover - he still plays a lot of games and can play LB or CB - it may be a lower offer and he may turn it down but if he was 26 and playing like he is nobody would question if we should keep him.

It's literally just a barrier in front of you - everything else including seats are the same. I'd love a return to terracing but this just seems like a pointless exercise in h&s gone mad - I'm not blaming the club i realise they were compelled to do it.

Don't think that performance was as bad as many others seem to - don't think recent performances have beens as good as many others seem to. Current form is still positive compared to early season - not just points per game but performances and entertainment. It's hard to know where Warne is going with this squad - we change system during games every game let alone match to match. If that's how he manages then if it works fine. In a way you can credit him for reacting to the match in front of him - maybe it also contributes to a lack of patterns of play at times. I'd like to see a more settled team but it's hard to pick a best 11.

ATG 1Wildsmith. 6.5 solid, not a lot to do. 23Ward 5 poor defensively - good Beckhamesque crossing 35Nelson. 7 6Cashin. 7 3Forsyth 6 5Bradley 6 4Hourihane 5 7Barkhuizen 7 2Wilson 6 19John-Jules 7 Needs to play more 8Bird 6 17Sibley 6 Another example of him being the fall guy for a poor team performance - I know he'd been booked but who hadn't! 22Fornah 7 11Méndez-Laing 7 9Collins 6 I do think Collins is playing better this season but he barely gets a shot off from open play most matches.

My take is she wasn't that bad yesterday and she wasn't that outstanding previously. She's an above average league 1 ref. I don't think Sibley or Collins needed to be booked - you can argue they brought it on themselves but we've all seen those things dealt with without a card. If she told Lyle ? to leave the pitch on one side and he just ignored her then that is poor and I can imagine players seeing that and thinking they can pressure her. Ive no problem with the crowd getting onto the ref so long as it's not abuse because of or about gender. I go to football to be partisan - so Im appealing for the pen on NML even though I knew it wasn't etc. A sense of injustice helps generate atmosphere - unless the ref is really shocking though there's no need to carry it on on social media.
