As I recall Evans has played regularly and scored regularly in the Championship in the past. All for giving Barny a chance if fit but he isn't. As for signing Evans - he could be good for us but would prefer Sharp or JRod.

IN: JRod McCarthy (on loan from Reading if we can steal him from Leeds) Matt Phillips from Blackpool - thought he looked dangerous today. OUT: Much as everyone else has said.

I would also like to know this - if he was back next Sunday it would be a HUGE boost.

Might be a good option to mix the starting XI at some point - but not against the Skates - too big a game to try new things.

Both very good players on an equal footing but I would go with Harding v the Skates - he played really well off the bench today both in an attacking sense and defensively. I was a Fox fan before today but Harding convinced me today.

This is it in a nutshell. I like Deano a lot but as the season has worn on it is clear that Morgan and Cork are the best pairing. That's not to write Deano off by any stretch and I like the fact that we rotate them. Once Chappers comes back we will start firing again I think.

Yes - every promotion chasing team has a wobble - this is ours and the way other results have gone we haven't damaged our position too much as yet. That being said, next week is massive as our the games against Palace and City at home. If we can get to January clear in the top two then I really think we will do it. With a fully fit squad plus another striker (I really think we'll end up bagging JRod) then I can't see us blowing it.

Thought Morgan played really well on the right today - he was lost out there against Hull but today, especially in the first half I thought he was good. As for SDR, I think that part of the problem is the way we are using him - he only gets 20minutes a game and clearly wants more/to impress enough to start. Although he should have squared it today the fact he didn't seemed to show me that he is desperate to give the gaffer a reason to put him in next game (i.e by scoring the winner). I do agree with the general consensus though, at home we can play narrow, intricate football with the full backs bombing on. Away from home we can't do it and that's where we got caught out (especially at Bristol). Give SDR time I think he will come good for us.

Lambert for me - he is our talisman and just so so important to how the team plays. Him, along with Chaplow are my favourites and right now I think they are most important to the team as a whole.

I'd honestly rather have a half fit KD than Bart at the moment - plus Adkins said KD wasn't far away. My point is I'd rather a 50-60% fit KD than Bart and that is my honest opinion.

He simply CANNOT play against the Skates - they'll have seen that performance today and will prepare accordingly. Not only did he cost us the win with that ridiculous spill he was simply terrible all game. Can't remember him doing anything well. When I've seen him this season I've been worried about him. The fact is, we didn't actually play too badly today - for those saying we did - it was a knock on effect from the back. Bart put so much pressure on the defence it was untrue. You could see that they did not want to give it to him. We lost our rag at the end of the game because we were behind with only a couple of mins to go - and whose fault was that? Oh wait.....

Steve you idiot

Oohhhhhhh rickkieeee i ****ing love you.

That's a pen.

Cannot agree with this at all - we haven't been as good as we can be but not awful. He's put so much pressure on the defence and lost us the losing goal. His performance has had a knock on effect. Bart OUT

Have never seen such a useless keeping performance.

This ref is absolutely USELESS. FFS!

The ref is garbage as well.

It's not happening lads lets face it. If we swapped keepers we'd have battered them.

Completely agree - we are too short. Also, Bart is so bad I'd rather have Kelvin in there calf injury or not.

We can't change it - that's why - the squad looks shattered and much too thin

Fact is though mate, the keeper has lost us this game.

Definitely.

Thing is - I'm fine with losing at home but to lose the run like this is a sickener.

Don't think we'll get back into this one though lads - going to be a long xmas.
