This defeat could help.

For one Shotton will be out and Bucko back in, it showed Hughes has to be played and that Best should go back to Blackburn as soon as! I'd also play Eustace as he helps make the defence more solid and it needs that. Mac knows signings must be made in January if he wants to challenge for autos. I said I'd have been happy with a point today but on that performance we wouldn't have scored in a brothel. Anyway onwards and upwards!

What it showed was irrespective of what team we put out, most of the players are misfiring - Eustace was ill today hence not on the bench and it wasnt so long ago that the back four kept 6 clean sheets without a sniff of Bucko!

Seeing as our last 6 or so game ahve shown the team to be in a dip of form, to still be 3rd 1 pt off top is actually a sign that we are not as bad as we played today!

I like your thinking MOP.

I've been saying for ages bucko over shotton, hughes over hendrick and Eustace over omar. I believe today went a long way to adding credibility to that argument, so I hope all 3 can come in for the next league game.

however I accept that there were god awful performances all over the pitch today, especially our full backs.

Not if we are a point shy of 6th in May
