    So you're completely happy we are signing players who are incapable of strengthening the first 11 and are just there to make up the numbers?

    There really are no words!

    No. Which is why I said we need a new striker and Scannell in the team. If they are in the team, you then drop Wood and perhaps Doyle. Having Doyle, Miller, Chicksen, McGowan and the other new signings on the bench means we have 16/17 decent players for L1 survival as opposed to the current 12/13

    If we are banking on scannell think we need to throw in the towel now.

    Even without Scannell, I'm confident we'll survive

    Great point today. Sounds like the team has got its mojo back.

    Scannell will help when back

    Akpan had a good game in what turned out to be an entertaining game after what was an insipid first half hour. A draw was a fair result in a game where both teams had decent spells of attacking posession.

    A draw was a fair result against two pretty even sides.

    Really? Despite the very clear fact that we’ve had more than half a dozen of these “freak performances” already this season?

    And it’s irrelevant anyway. Just because @Fordy117@Fordy117 demands we win every game, it doesn’t suddenly become easier to do so.

    A point at Burton is a good point, but only if we follow it up with 3 on Tuesday night and then at least 4pts in our next 2.

    Fordy is just being his usual hysterical self

    Name them

    We've had nothing as bad as last Saturday, hence our biggest home defeat

    We've had poor performances, but that isn't what I mean

    That was a performance I reckon they'd be hard pressed to repeat. All the other defeats, I see been repeated if quickly played again

    Even Southend fans considered if freaky

    Surely the better player starts and isn’t a sub??

    Pretty much tbf. But if one side deserved to shade it, we did.

    And I don't think they're a bad side. It shows if we apply ourselves properly, we can do OK

    The spell at the end was good but neither team dominated enough to warrant a win. We looked a lot sturdier with a back four where NKP was the partner for one of the other centre backs. A good point in the circumstances but i ain’t getting too excited. We still look weak upfront and wasted opportunities when in the final third.
    Thay save off Akpans header was a worldie.

    Accrington Stanley (a),
    Coventry (h),
    Gillingham (a),
    Luton (a)

    All very poor performances. There were a few others too, where we simply never turned up and got going, for example, Wycombe (h).

    There was nothing ‘freaky’ last Saturday that hadn’t been witnessed by our fans already this season
