That lad’s gonna be desperate to make amends.
He's already scored at both ends and got a yellow. If he's looking to make amends then it'll be worth getting players on him to make it difficult. Walking red card if he's struggling against our midfield when trying to make amends.

There are plenty of holes you can pick in the first half performance. But….It ain’t half fun again :)

That's an all time own goal. Been a bit rubbish. Could do with a touch more sideways and backwards, but his job is to keep the show on the road. So far so good.

Indeed. We've been the better side, not because we've had more of the ball, but because we've done more with the ball.

Entertaining thats for sure.

Reading losing means we're up to 8th as it stands, a point off the playoffs. Barnsley beating Wycombe isn't helping...

They need to be careful if Eaves comes on as we have little height in this team.

Depends where you set your sights. We need the teams vying for top two to massively drop points and we need to massively pick them up.

Given how the teams in the league are massively inconsistent, it'll be there for whoever is the most consistent. Can't see it being us, but dare to dream an all that.

It's not just Evatt that hands round the half-time Mogadons, then

Fair. I just mean for right now. Even if it stays as it is we're still 11pts behind Wycombe.

See now THAT was great No9 play from Vic. Certainly surprised the watching Collins.

It's like having a new player. The Vic that we first signed, it's good to see.

It'd have to be one hell of a run even just to get into contention for it. Given we we're supposedly one of the favourites for promotion, you would imagine it'd be one we should be trying for.

I think as long as we go into the play offs with upward momentum, that should be the catalyst for having a good play off chance.

I think we need to bring Randall on.

Consider it done. Vic makes way.

Murphy on for Schon. More height....

I'd be leaning towards swapping Sheehan out given he's on a yellow and just back from injury. Morley's been quiet, but Sheehan's where i'd be looking.

Tall lad this Murphy.

Some of our passing is shocking, its fecking amateur. They look the better team when in possession.

2nd half is shite so far.

Can't say this is inspiring, expected after the highs of Saturday. Need to keep our heads and concentrate.

Would you rather go to Evatt's style at this moment in time? Hold the ball, sideways and backwards while we're ahead?

Passing percentages would improve
