    And this is why you never leave early, although by the sounds of the rest of the match, I should imagine it was incredibly tempting. I'm so pleased for Small, because he's been creating some good chances lately but his shooting his been somewhat wayward. It's going to create an interesting dilemma once Ramsay is fully fit.
    Dilemma? Mitchell doesn't have it in his contract that he needs to start, does he 
    So are you suggesting we switch to 442, or Ramsay's going to play on the right of a back 3? Has he played that role before, because I'm not sure having 2 players on that side playing out of their comfort zones is going to work out.
  • I reckon we had the two best chances to score 
    Before time added on. 
    Yes not a great game, I described the first half as unenthralling to a friend in a text. 
    But the big thing to show fircus in the game was heart not given in to soporific nature of the game I accepting the draw.

    The way we set up to play, Ramsay doesn’t fit into the rwb role at all. Imagine he’ll be competing more for Alex Mitchell’s role, who had another shaky day today. Think Ramsay probably offers more overall.

    Ramsay played right cb today when he came on.

    Thats a lovely flick on from the Shrews Defender in the centre, to just slow the ball down and probably make it ever so slightly easier for Small to control it
  • Highlights again why when we carve out relatively few goal scoring chances you need to take them. 

    You just don’t get the luxury of another opportunity. 

    We still miss ALfie May too much taking chances earlier in a match. 

    Regardless fantastic when you win in the dying seconds.

    Luke Berry is, I think it can no longer be argued with, a horrible void in the heart of our play, a waning higher level grafter turned luxury wage thief. I fucking hate him and all the players who fit this exact mould that we keep signing for some reason 
    You are a weird guy... seem to love some players whatever they do and hate some players whatever they do. Berry didn't have his best game today, but is one of the better players in the squad. I'd prefer if we had someone a bit more creative in there and have him coming off the bench when we need a goal, but he is the least of our troubles, seems an honest pro and always likely to nick a goal
    He along with Gillesphey, are the weakest links in the side. Berry does not make himself available when Coventry or Lloyd are looking for an outfball. He cannot win tackles or fend them off. He cannot beat a player or make a decisive forward pass. We need a replacement attacking mid to sustain our challenge, not him.
    Spot on, about both Berry and Gillesphey.
  • Terrible game with lots of players off the boil. Leaburn, Mitchell, Gillesphey, Berry all well below par and TC involved but nowhere near as good as he has been. We really struggle to break down teams that come to defend. Ramsay was understandably rusty but great to have him back. Anyway..somehow we came away with the win, with good composure from Small after some comical defending by them. Two barely deserved wins in a row and we're just outside the playoffs. Roll on Tuesday.
  • Thoroughly deserved, great work ethic for the whole match.  A little more creativity would produce a lot more goals though.
