    The thought had crossed my mind that maybe MAD is downsizing and/or withering itself on the vine.

    If the owners are doing any sort of maintenance and monitoring then they must be aware of the...

    Randall's "attempt" to stop the cross for the fifth goal was utterly pathetic. It looked dreadful live, but it gets even worse when you watch it on TV. Our defending from wide positions is...

    In terms of centre-halves, the only one worth keeping is Lewis Macari. I've also got no problem with Chicksen staying as a squad player because he has some decent defensive instincts, but aside from...

    Baldwin certainly isn't a great defender. He's a very poor defender for this standard, which unfortunately describes all of our centre-halves with the exception of Macari, who does at least...

    Charlie's got good personality, so it's no surprise he's as good at anchoring a programme as he is at commentary. I don't praise the BBC easily, but they've got themselves a good 'un there!

    I thought a draw at Walsall would be a decent result, so a win is very pleasing.
