Blimey that sounds like a glass half full or more!Wigan are non league bound on that showing. How a very decent club can end up on the skids in 5 mnutes, football, bloody hell. We should have won four or five. Fluent and confident by the end.
Their keeper was better than ours though, what a blooper by Eastwood. So lucky not to concede.
Taylor, Henry and Atkinson high class, Ruffs much improved and Kelly looks so much better with Spanish hatchet getting stuck in behind.
Called for Henry to be dropped after Tuesday, wrong to do so.
Clare could play ok at higher level. Can see why we’ve bought him. Lovely ball in for second goal. But who thought he could play right back Karl ? You or the recruitment committee. ?
Obita was a good spot though. Easily good enough for League One.
A drink or two tonight . COYY.
I think KR was hoping Clare would be like Marvin Johnson in that he is better attacking from deep. Until now we have not been strong enough defensively for Clare to play that role. It was a bit unfortunate he didn't have the opportunity today because that might have worked. I totally understand the frustration and agree he is not currently strong enough defensively and he may never be. We are still struggling to find the formation and players that works best. I thought McGuane played well today and the midfield noticeably lost control once he left and we adjusted the formation. But he is young and hasn't played many games and lacks consistency. Cam missing is a major piece in the jigsaw that we still haven't come to terms with. We have tried Forde, Henry, McGuane and Skyes and still we search.We had to win that, they were poor. Much needed 3 points. Gorrin showing us why his type of player is so important. Obita looked decent and helped Ruffels have a better game. Good that Taylor and Henry got the goals.
Message to KR, CLARE IS A WINGER!!

The other major loss are real leaders on the pitch. Dickie, Mackie, Mous and Cam all offered that, no one left unfortunately has stepped up yet. When something goes wrong nobody seams capable of true leadership and we just drift to defeat. In that situation the first goal becomes all defining.
We still have good players but the missing ingredient is not a footballing skill it is leadership.
Thanks teach will try better next time.Paragraphs would help mate.
Has to be said, we look more dangerous from set pieces this season than we have done in years.
Combination of good delivery from Kelly today (and Forde in recent weeks) and a back four that are all big and aggressive in the box.
Awwww...don’t be too hard on him...he’s just had a really disappointing result.You really are an a**e
No chance it's away from home!!Hooray a win!
I now fully expect the Pompey game to get called off.
Probably the bit where you think we have a "fighting chance", although do you mean promotion? Or was it the little dig at our injured striker? Just enjoy the win, you don't have to snipe at every opportunity!Tell me David which part of what i said makes me an "a**e"?
He's an ice pack away from being fit.Any news on Matty Taylor, looked worrying when he came off.
Yes, he completely switched off there.
