    I tend to agree. The wing-back system worked in the National League because player for player we were so dominant, but in this division where the opposition are as well resourced (if not better)...

    All done amicably and properly it would seem. He may rub people up the wrong way, but Steve Evans has proved several times over the course of his career that he's a very good football manager. He's...

    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...

    The management need to cut out this "individual errors" narrative too. If their definition of players "taking responsibility" is to take ridiculous risks deep in our own half rather than getting the...

    It doesn't even need to be an either/or situation.

    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!

    It's far too early to draw conclusions about a Stuart Maynard revival, but what the owners have made very clear is that they won't be overly influenced or intimidated by fan opinion on social media,...

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

    I'm clearly in a minority but I thought Cameron was okay yesterday without being anywhere near the defender I'd want him to be. The bottom line is that he and Baldwin (with Chicks and Macari) emerged...

    Great result yesterday, but I thought the scoreline flattered us and has perhaps led to some over-inflated assessments of the performances of some players, for example Bostock and Cameron. I thought...
