Edozie off for Scienza, Larin for Stewart. Both have got that look of negativity now, like they expect things to go wrong for them, lots of shrugs, etc.

My concern is that we can change things up, get Leo and TF on, get Stewart up front but we can still be undone by one long simple uncultured hoof upfield.

I got 85-1 to win 3-1 and Stewart to score anytime. Part of me was hoping they were gonna sling that last corner in the mixer!

Coming away with a draw tonight would be a good result, keeps everything in our own hands. Hoping for a Larin early goal to settle the nerves and upset the natives.

We just can’t break a team down. As soon as a team sets up deep, we end up passing from CB to RB to CB to CB to LB to CB ………. It’s shit to watch and easy to play against. Azaz is having an off night so we’ve got nobody to create a chance.

I’ve got it on Now Tv, sky sports plus.

The big difference over the past few games has been Welly and Bree. They have been immense, stopping the crosses coming in. Such a difference from Manning standing ten paces of his man and letting the crosses come in.

Not too fussed if THB does go, it’s not as if he has been instrumental in our defensive strength. Get the money while we can and get rid. He thinks he is better than he actually is. One chipped through ball assist a few seasons back and he thinks he’s Glen Hoddle. He reads the game badly, makes rash decisions and gives up easily. One of the Sheff Utd chances the other night was his fault and he just stopped, and watched, no chasing back for any rebounds or such like. Strangely enough, the only one of the current CBs I would like to keep currently is Jack Stephens. Says a lot about our defence!

A win but only because the opposition were dreadful. There was no excitement watching that performance, just boredom and an impending sense of doom. I’m normally a “glass half full” person but we are going nowhere with this squad. I think I have previously tended to blame tactics or formations but ultimately the team aren’t good enough. Paid special attention to THB this evening as he is allegedly being watched for this transfer window. I’d be amazed if anybody fancied paying for him. A win but I was hoping that at this stage of the season it would be to keep us fighting at the top rather than three points in our quest for safety.

He’ll bottle it and get two yellows tomorrow night.

Is that it for Bazunu now? Quite a fall from grace. Picked as Tondas number one and now on his way out the club?

451?

It’s been rubbish. It’s been spineless. But we missed a couple of sitters. Goals change matches, misses cost matches. It’s been the problem for seasons.

We seem to have been worked out after that initial five or six game good spell. The key triangle move to create space from CB to CM and then onto winger is being snuffed out. Admittedly we seem to be doing everything much slower. Teams have worked out that if you press the midfield two and stop them receiving the ball, we are a bit clueless. Hopefully Leo for Robinson or Azaz and Welly on for Manning.

Manning has been dreadful. An absolute liability.
