Who really deserved higher? 5 to me means not great, 6 average and 7 fairly good. Nobody was really better than 'fairly good' tonight, IMO. Maybe bump Mendes up to a 2.

It was handball for sure, but a booking was harsh and undeserved.

Subs:
Beerens - 5 didn't get into the game, crossing was poor.
Evans - 5.5 different player to the one we saw on Saturday
Williams - 6 usual energy and drive took us forward a lot more, should've had a pen.

Jaakola - 7 did fine really, a few good saves. Watson - 6.5 one of our better players until he got knackered. Moore - 5.5 put in the two best crosses all night but wasn't that impressed defensively Cooper - 4 liability, always looked for the sideways pass first Obita - 4 he's turning from a decent a...

Al Habsi Gunter McShane Cooper Obita VDB Swift Williams McCleary Beerens Meite Something needs changing in defence, so why not try Cooper in for Evans with VDB pushed forward to try and offer a little more protection. Don't want to go too defensive though, as we are at home. I'd also like to see Mei...

1-1.
Beerens to score for us.

Last years home kit was better, IMO, but this one is pretty good too and the faded back is a nice feature. I quite like the away one, but they should've gone with black shorts and socks as its a little too luminous. Regardless, it's great to have some decent looking kits with interesting designs for...

Absolute no brainer for me. Form is temporary, class is permanent - would love to see him in the hoops. The guy clearly wants to play football two and seems committed to trying to get/stay fit having spent the last 2 months with a personal trainer. Even if he didn't play he'd be a great influence on...

Happy with this. Everything we need in a winger - good with both feet, very quick, skilful and an eye for goal.

Ian Royal currently the 10/1 outsider with BetVictor.

£4m sounds a bit steep on paper, but I doubt we'd be able to sign a better winger for that price. It's been a long time since we had a player who could cross a ball or beat a man like Ola can. Obviously we wouldn't pay £4m, so if we can get him for anything under £3m it should be a no brainer as he'...

We play well against good sides. 1-1, Norwood for us

No, he's clearly saying that we don't have any wingers at all, and need to sign at least 4.

Decent game, didn't deserve to lose but they came for a win and got it so fair play to them. It's worrying when Quinn, a CM/LM by trade, looks twice the fullback Gunter will ever be. Fully agree with comments earlier in the thread about how he always turns and plays a backwards or sideways pass, nev...

Thought we were a bit unlucky, but really we didn't create enough clear chances in the second half considering how we dominated - virtually all were shots from 20+ yards. IMO the mistake was taking off Vydra, he linked up well in the first half and our best chances came with his involvement. Sa shou...

The new announcer is a f*cking moron. Bring back Paul Allen - he kept it nice and simple, and the 'back the boys' line usually raised the atmosphere just prior to kick off too. The manner of his sacking, especially with this new guy in now, was disgusting as well.

When was the last time we scored from a corner? I believe under the Adkins regime we scored one, which was actually a short corner, plus Cooper from a more direct corner away to Norwich. Under Clarke, I can't remember a single one. With Ian Harte - oxf*rd loads. We need a new Ian Harte. The amount ...

Matejovsky and Kebe

*wistful gaze*

2 assists and 2 goals so far. If he continues that sort of ratio for the rest of the season that would be fantastic, even if his overall performances aren't brilliant right now.
