Three big games coming up starting with Boro away. Hopefully we will play our rested players from Wednesday evenings match and maybe get Adebayo and Pelly back from injuries.
They are doing very well at the moment so a draw would be handy and a win would be brilliant for us. COYH!!

Hat(ter)s off to anyone making the journey, any comments from those there always appreciated. Up against another good team and excellent manager in the space of four days - as well as their excellent league run, they saw off the Spuds on Tuesday, so will be particularly buoyant, and a day more rested.
COYH!

Poor game with credits hard to find. Can't really understand why Cornick wasn't in the starting eleven as yet again we had no attacking width. Lansbury would get a 10 for a couple fouls but either Berry or Clark would have been a better substitution. Not entertained and not impressed and picking a team for mid-week might be troublesome with extra injury unknowns.

We have had a good season and the points tally to date far exceeds my expectations given we have a dozen games to go. We don’t have expensive, big purchase players; we have a group dominated as well scouted freebies/out of contract players that work their socks off for the team. Recently we have pinched some wins that could easily have been drawn games yet today what could have been a draw, was a defeat with Boro being the better side and having a more functional midfield with Boro’s Howson having a very good game.
Shame about the second Boro goal; felt that Palmer should have had that covered. I reckon Isted deserved a chance in goal but the emergency goalkeeper rules don’t permit that; the loan keeper has to start. Sadly we picked up at least three injuries today & I suspect that Gabe Osho may be out for a while as could Naismith. Campbell got a bang on the head; not sure if that counts as a concussion; if it does then that probably rules him out of the Coventry game.
No complaints from me, well the second goal apart; we have a good group of very hard-working team players that are punching, especially in budgetary terms, way above their weight.

Following text updates on a phone tells you little about a game so comments much appreciated.
Agree with Wimbo on the bigger picture of the season as a whole and achievements so far on a financial shoestring. Looks like todays’ injuries are unlikely to boost our unlikely bid to finish in the top six. But we have a decent group of players so I’ll remain hopeful of the improbable.

I agree with the two afore mentioned comments/summaries of our season to date and expectations. The good thing is that whilst I think we will need to make more signings at the end of the season, it will not be as many as last pre season as we now have a stronger base of quality and depth of squad. It is always easier to bed in few new players as opposed to a lot.

Agree BB but what if we lose Adebayo and Naismith for example.Rumours many clubs looking at Naismith although I agree he's not playing as well as he was. (Missing Bradley perhaps)

I enjoyed my few days in Middlesborough but didn't enjoy the game. It was cold and windy and we were poor. Adebayo looked like he couldn't be bothered (I wondered if he was fully fit) and Osho was dire. We didn't get any rythm nor did we take the game to them as we have in many matches. Hylton's running was impressive, though, and Cornick brought another dimension so I suppose not all doom and gloom. We really missed Pelly's strength in the midfield; it was a game made for him. We will miss Naismith and Campbell if they are out for any length of time.
