Which game did you go to.

Thats not really "as you were" though. Same gap but 15% less games so the set of results were hugely positive for us. Our goal difference is worth a point and I dont think that Northampton, Wimbledon or MK Dons have it in them even to get to 47. Another 0-0 on Tuesday and we can all relaxPretty much as you were after today's results. One point closer to safety, one game less to play.
On paper we have wonderkids in our midfield but didnt boss it so I think they would all struggle to be consistently high performers in the Championship. The problem is lack of pace. We have to pick Henry but he is incredibly slow and so holes get created. Add to that a headless chicken performance for IBR and any team would be chasing shadows, so we desperately need some pace as we arent winning second ball. They are so slow at times that it draws accusations of not trying but I dont think thats it. Maybe the premiership clubs realise that pace is 90% (Bolt to Mam Utd!) and so the technically gifted youngsters are allowed to leave just because they are limited by their pace (maybe to no better than L1).Other than Dickie, am struggling to see the plaudits that so many are giving so many of our players. Versus a fellow relegation candidate at home we shared possession 50/50 and had three shots on target. That is truly pathetic, no?
They really must do better against Fleetwood, who have better players than Oldham and will take all three points if we put on such an impoverished display. A home side that carries no threat is there for the taking.
I actually thought that Obika got his head to quite a lot, and wasn't bad at holding it up (for a while). The main problem was that no one was anywhere near where the ball went after he headed it. Well none of our players were. Not really surprising if there's just the one up top who ends it further on.

Did we only have 3 shots ? Rob dickie had three in one goal mouth scramble.

Dave, no matter how you put it it was a poor performance against a very poor team, and you can read that either way!

They’re all crapObika will never be a striker who scores a lot from crosses because he's just so passive in an attacking sense. He never gets in the box to attack the ball, he always wants it into feet which is a much harder pass to play. For such a big bloke he doesn't use it, he could be a real bully at this level if he was a bit nasty.
Thomas isn't very good either. We've got some really, really crap strikers.
Sean, no mater how u twist it I’ve never said it wasn’t. Merely a question. I saw rob Dickie shoot 3 times in that one move. Was that our 3 shots on goal? Cos I’m sure I remember a few others. Albeit very tame ones, from Henry in the first 5 mins, obika in the first half, Ledson I think from distance second half and a couple of others
TBF for the first time in I can’t remember Obika didnwin anfew headers but no one to receive them....oh yes there was but they all wore blue shirts. But still crap thoughYou’re easily pleased!
He couldn’t hold it up, his passes were too short leaving the next player having to make a tackle. He couldn’t even head it against their number 3 who was half his size and about a foot shorter.
Just a little unfair? Did you see Thomas go in for that ball at the end of the game where he was almost certainly going to get injured (which he duly did?)I thought Robinson got the lineup spot on yesterday and it went pear shaped when Ruffels had to come off and Ricardinho had to drop into left back. Totally inept display from Buckley-Ricketts, someone should tell him that he's never getting a game at Man City so he really ought to be putting a shift in on loan to get himself a contract somewhere else. Then Thomas came on and didn't do much, is he actually fit? He looks like a player who doesn't want to properly compete through fear of injury.
