    Yes also listened to this interview from today where Alexander explains the Power/Halliday situation (3 minutes in) as most would expect passion possibly took over but shook hands in the dressing room, Bobby still a bit away and Alexander doesn't want to rush him back but positive news with regards Pattison. Baldwin, Humphry's, Tilt, Cook nearly at a fitness level to start but he wouldn't be expected to do the full game, a very good interview.

    Pointon's technical ability is in a different stratosphere to Kavanagh. You need to be more than just a good runner at L1 level which is why I don't see Kavanagh making it higher than L2 ultimately.

    dont no if its just me when cook played together with swan they looked good together
    me personally would have left swan on with cook.
    still have to be honest we are still in a great position lets keep up the momentum.

    Yes I was surprised he took Swan off yesterday. Thought he look revitalised on Saturday when Cook came on to join him up top. Don't think I can ever recall a good Cook / Kav partnership game

    I just don't rate him.

    Humphrys and Swan both do as good as, if not a better job of pressing and they both bring decent other attributes with them.

    That, aligned with Cooks return to fitness means that in reality, he should be 4th choice centre forward yet we're squeezing him into the side in a deeper role that he just hasn't got the attributes for and we witnessed that over a longer spell at the beginning of last season.

    For me, he either forces his way into that central striker spot (he won't) or he simply misses out.

    Kav has had some stick and Swan called out for a poor performance. I don't see an issue with criticising players regardless of where we are in the league. I haven't seen anything at all abut 'dressing room unrest'.

    Saw a pic of Sparks laying a wreath before the game. Has he trimmed down? Looks like he lost a stone or two.

    Wasn’t for the want of trying - we had some fantastic chances that game.

    like this reply swan give all every game ok he is on a goal drought at the moment, but we have been playing the tops sides
    so just getting draws to me is a great result as far as I am concerned.every team at the top are there because
    they deserve to be there.
