    Both Fellows and Johnston are exciting to watch. Fellows is more successful in producing the final pass/cross. Sometimes Mikey takes it one tackle too far methinks, but always prepared to have a shot.

    I agree Prando. Let?s just hope our manager does not keep hauling them off to be replaced by inferior subs. I would have kept Holgate in too instead of Bartley and kept Styles on the pitch as he moves the ball forward rather than sideways and does not wave his arms!

    Got to be the same selection against Coventry albeit Holgate in and Bartley on the bench to regain fitness.

    Please please no Cole unless we are three up!

    I know what you mean, maybe he does try too hard to try to live up to his previous time with us. Either way hes a very useful and tricky winger. Must be a real nightmare for other clubs to deal with those two.

    Let?s hope if both Fellows and Johnston are playing well they are not hauled off as usual unless we are winning by two. Then again wouldn?t be surprised to see Dobby the horse or Super Jed starting. Too irresistible not to tinker yet again!

    It's interesting how everyone says they have enjoyed the last 2 home games yet we have conceded 4 really poor goals, Heggem has scored an own goal and was at fault really for both goals yesterday, also Fellows allowed his full back to get 2 crosses in, Johnston was a threat but he leaves his left back Styles/Heggem very exposed as he doesn't track back , if we open the game up to much we will get exposed by more mobile teams than us , when Mullumby plays we are more mobile in the middle but we have 7 games in 21 days so there is no way we won't have to make changes, yesterday was our best starting 11 but there wasn't a lot to come off the bench, protecting players is going to play a big part of the team selection over the next month.

    Good point but then high earners like Wallace, Grady and Swift need to be shipped out in January if there?s any takers. I doubt whether there will be! Cole is a league 1 striker and Dobby is poor!

    Out of all those draws - you would rather win about four and lose the rest. For example it was criminal how there has been little intent to go on the front foot and win a few of those home games even if we then had lost away!

    Did we honestly think we was going to get the winner yesterday with those subs?

    Who sanctioned some of the dross of players that came in last season? Who sanctioned Cole - Frabotta - Dobbin - Racic all of which are poor?

    For me the biggest miss is Okay who was class!

    We actually should have won the game when Grant went through and fired the ball across if he had looked up Mullumby had made a great run and was un- marked, i've said all season the problem has been our 3 highest paid players but you can't expect Corberan to bomb them out totally, Cole i'm convinced Corberan didn't want and Dobbin wouldn't have been signed if we knew we would have the money for Johnston, i agree about some of the draws should have bee turned into wins and at times we have settled for a draw rather than push for a win but looking at the goals we have conceded in the last two home games i can also understand why Corberan has also been more cautious particularly in away games, and this is why IMO opinion getting rid of Corberan would be a mistake at this current time we have a lot more players out of contract at the end of the season and we will need another influx of new players.

    Some good points. Wallace?s contract expires June 26 so if his legs have gone now in another year Zohorse will seem like Messi in comparison. Who would want him on loan on his sky high wage?

    For me, disposing of CC would be a mistake…notwithstanding his strange substitutions. I believe he has our Club at heart and engenders loyalty.
    Maybe some squad building going on, with an eye on replacements as and when finances permit. In the meantime he seems content to keep us ‘in contention’. I get that.
