we won!

Talk about cold turkey, today they served us the left overs and we'd run out of crackers. Seems that Eckert isn't Santa after all, another false dawn. Hang your heads in shame lads you let us down badly today. Do we always lose with Stephens at the helm? Is Manning a robot, if so he needs reprogramming.

Be fair, he is super cool under pressure, clever with the ball at his feet and bear in mind he hasn't been given much game time to hone his skills. Given a settled run of 10 or 15 games as a starter I'm willing to bet he will turn out to be our best CB

You'll find out soon, as soon as May indeed. When promotion is ruled out, he'll be off to a big club like Everton or West Ham

Spot on. You cold see the goal coming as soon as he passed to the Coventry player and sre enough that phase of paly ended in the back of our net. Manning is a liability, he can't defend and 90% of his crosses are useless. The odd goal or two he has scored weighed against the many more times he has missed should not be a sufficient reason to make him an automatic starting choice. If he is the best we can do at full back then we are up sh8t street.

That's a "Yes" then

Eckert seems to know how useless Manning is at defending as Quarshie was given the task of shadowing him throughout the first half

It could work for the first 60mins when we seem to be gung ho then sub him off for a more defensive RB (Edwards or Stephens) when we go into defensive mode in the second half. The key is that we must boss the midfield and stop the endless strean of crosses into our box and a midfield three has a better chance of doing that than a two with Azaz ahead of them. He does little defensively. Bragg is showing signs of being a top class defensive midfielder and alongside Downes with Jander breaking forward could give us a formidable midfield and the solidity that is lacking at the moment

We were at the first relegation so did we get 3 + 2 or how does it work when you Yo-Yo?

I am late to the party but Fellows is most likely

Not sure Fraser's lack of pace had anything to do with the pitch. Looks more like his legs have gone. Quite embarrassing to watch.

I'd like to see him play 4-3-3 With Bragg alongside Downes and Jander.

Yep! Depends on which version of Saints turns up, play like we did yesterday and we get screwed.

When you add it all up we have a very poor squad that has no right to be playing in this division even.

Give it a rest mate, we already know how much you adore Gavin and Tonda
