    Like the look of that starting 11. Back to 4 at the back thank goodness. Connolly could be key, need him to get a decent supply in for Doyle and Vaughan. Taylor on the left likely to come inside more but with Woods crossing ability from fullback I think there's a balance to the side.

    Hoping the coup of bringing back someone as on form as Doyle will make players up their game offensively. Both in terms of making sure we give the strikers service but also Vaughan - I want him to be busting a gut to get himself on the score sheet today. Doyles return and Donaldson impending fitness suddenly gives us more attaching options. That competition should make players raise their game

    I can accept defeats but not ones where we play like a bunch of strangers, it’s happening too often.You wonder how this squad can manage to be so poor on the road.

    Doyle coming back could have been a catalyst, so far it’s the opposite.

    you watch team like Sheffield United, the fighting qualities and organisation are unbelievable and gets them results. I do think bowyer should stick to his guns on formation esp away from home.

    So maybe this tells us everything we need to know. It’s got feck all to do with the playing staff, more the management and style of football.

    Bowyer out!!!

    I’ve said it repeatedly we need some muscle in midfield. Palmer and Reeves are both light weight. It’s not rocket science.

    He plays well in the sense that he scores lots of goals when provided with opportunities in the penalty area. Wellens understood that at both Oldham and Swindon. We're simply not geared up to that when the safety first mentality has been drilled into the team for much of the season. That mentality won't be changed easily.

    Looks like we will need to go into transfer market again. There’s no one on the books who can impose himself physically in the midfield. No one. That is a serious omission considering we’re awash with midfielders.

    A yard Too slow and no passion Crawley wanted it and we didn’t. Glad we made the effort shame the players didn’t.

    doesn’t matter if we have Doyle back if he gets no service.

    Once again possession means f all if you do nothing with it.
    Piss poor show all round but letting a team get 17 shots away is worrying.

    A big man up top doesn't work were told, it certainly worked for Crawley today, our usual pairing of BRE and O;Connor have been very good most of the season unfortunately today they we completely bossed by the big lad Palmer, one Palmer does it all the other Palmer does FA.

    It's an old cliche but they wanted it more than us.
