    Just back home. One of the most fortunate wins I've ever seen us get that, absolute daylight robbery how Walsall haven't got anything from the game.

    We set up for a smash and grab type performance from minute one which I would understand if we were away to Forest Green but I'm scratching my head as to why we approach a game against 17th placed Walsall so negatively.

    Result papers over some massive cracks but it was nice to enjoy a late winner which doesn’t happen too often.

    Another example that proves it is possible to get deals over the line when needs must. Much like the way Swindon didn't hang about bringing in another striker when their lad on loan unexpectedly got recalled. Yet despite us knowing months ago that we needed at least one more striker and being told that we'd be ready for this window, we are still waiting for them to arrive and are now being given the usual bullsh!t about how difficult the January window is.

    Genuinely in all my years I cannot remember a game we have least deserved to win!

    Credit to Foulds BTW, had a decent game when he came on.

    I'm the happiest of clappers but even I can't see the point you are making. You can't have watched this evening's game and have optimism for the remainder of this season.

    Would love to be surprised but we are shockingly bad atm.

    Tonight it was rub of the green, heroic goalkeeping, and ineptitude in front of goal from Walsall which won us points, not sound defending.

    Hardly a classic but an enjoyable journey home for the 400+ fans who had the bottle to go to the game.

    I've just nipped over to my holiday home (can't say where, but I saw a little mouse with clogs on) and a video match pass is showing as available.

    I'm in two minds about what to fo tonight, Halifax Town on BT, listen to this match or as Michaela Strachan has just said, there's some really good 'beaver action' on winter watch.

    I like Foulds. He has never let us down when called upon. I would play him right back if Ridehalgh is fit for Saturday

    Let’s be honest we need to improve dramatically if we’re to have any chance of promotion, personally don’t think we have a chance though so I’m relaxed about it. We simply aren’t good enough, but happy to be proven wrong. Thing is early season we didn’t look bad and created loads, now we barely create. If we could get them performances back but be more clinical we may still have a chance but not holding my breath.

    To be honest I feel for Cooke a little. He isn't actually playing as a 10, he's just one of 3 across the midfield. We don't play on the front foot, we sit in deep and only press when they enter our defensive third. Adams plan is to then hit them on the break, that isn't a strength of Cullum's. He got the ball on the break against Rochdale and the only player ahead of him was Cook stood in the centre circle being marked by multiple defenders. Cooke then holds play up and plays a pass sideways, to the annoyance of the crowd. What else is he going to do? Could lump it to cook but he isn't going to run in behind is he.

    If played in a team that dominates possession and on the front foot, I think he'd be a very good player.
    We haven't had a manager that's set that ethos at City for a long time. If Adams is going to continue in this way, I think Cooke drops out, and Sutton comes in as he is more suited to that role.

    Absolute joke. Only midfielder with any pace and drive dropped to bench.
