It has shown how poor our depth of spinners are in this country. We’ve got away with Leach, Moeen and Rashid for a while, but beyond that there really is a dearth.

jimbo

The other thing to note is listening to the Indians they say the pitch is getting slower and slower so the turn and bounce becomes easier to deal with….I guess counterintuitively maybe we should have bowled first…. I doubt it would have made a massive difference with our spin options - they aren’t ...

jimbo

Yeah we’re so far behind India. I think there are going to be some really really one sided games. We might be competitive in a couple if our batsmen all fire together. It must be our weakest selection of spinners touring there ever. Hartley is bang average in the championship, and a young leg spinne...

India tomorrow. First of 5. We’ll likely get hammered. Interesting team selection with our only seamers being the notably fragile Mark Wood and Ben Stokes. Otherwise it’s 3 spinners and Joe Root. I assume they’re not expecting a green seamer 😂 Stokes can't bowl at all post knee surgery, its Wood on...

It’s going to be a difficult week trying to find the cash and quality of players who will be available and able to help a promotion pushing squad. Previous January’s I suspect the pool might have been bigger.

jimbo

If we win it, the next one will be the big bear-trap... Just keep winning. Losing a game in isolation doesn’t mean that much. Many probably thought our defeat and Portsmouth was significant in the battle between us, but look how things have gone since. We’ll lose some between now and the end of the...

Coleman's not been mustard tonight, has he?
We’ve had worse reserve keepers. Remi Matthews and that clown we signed from Leeds in recent years.

Rachubka? After years of stability and excellence in goal we really did have some shockers during our dark days sliding down the leagues.

Re. Morley: I'm quite surprised at the length of his new contract but Evatt clearly has a great deal of faith in him and, if nothing else, we're tying down a saleable asset. With a bit of luck, the security he now has allows him to really knuckle down and nail a place in our starting eleven. Yeah. ...

jimbo

Contract extension for Morley which seems to end some of the recent discussion on here. Clear that Evatt sees him as someone who can do a job for us long term a division higher.

jimbo

I think debate on Morley is valid. I raised the issue in the match thread on Saturday. He’s been generally good while he’s been here. He’s been a key part of us going from division newcomers to a playoff side. I do feel he’s plateaued in the last few months though. There is near universal agreement ...

jimbo

Is Morley playing himself to a January transfer? We’ve been winning without him. He looked miles off it when he came on at Pompey and sounds like he’s struggling today. I think it would be tough to dump this on Morley... Oh don’t worry. I understand he’s one of many today, but it feels like if we’r...

Dempsey and Morley hardly banging the door down to start next week. Has Vic touched the ball yet?

jimbo

Ah well. They’re deservedly top. Time to dust ourselves down and go on another run.

jimbo

The second half feels a bit like the Barnsley playoff game. Only 1-0 but we’ve just not looked like scoring. Portsmouth comfortably better and far more dangerous when they get the ball.

jimbo

Morley has been shit since he came on

They want this more than we do. Players shirking passes and hiding since half time. Really disappointing.

I think we look a bit hurried on the ball. They’re pressing well and putting us under pressure. Lots of passes just half a yard off and we’re giving it away.

This is shit. Anyone who asks for JDB over Vic only need look at this. Split what's working. No.

There were moments of good hold up play in the first half, but looks like his legs have gone second half.

jimbo

Feels like there’s only one team scoring next. We just can’t get out
