    Well GB recovered a fair bit of credibility for me yesterday simply by playing 4-4-2. If he keeps playing like that with two of Palmer, Cooke and Devitt in central midfield and two of Ismail, Pritchard, Connolly and Wood out wide I don't think we'll go far wrong. The likes of Akpan, Anderson, Devine, AOC, McCartan, Gibson, Reeves, Robinson, Patrick and Riley can be kept in reserve for backup or until we can get rid of them. That's an awful lot of mediocrity still to move on but there we are. The trouble for me is that I felt like this after the Oldham game and we all know what came next. The acid test will be whether Bowyer keeps to a winning formula or starts messing about with formations again, but the fact he signed two wingers this week is very encouraging.

    I agree about AOC. I think he's been very unlucky to lose his place. Reeves I doubt we'll see again, but who knows?

    Can't believe you brought Reeves into it mate.

    He's been out for nearly 2 years. It's unfair to expect him to be like the 1st 6 month he joined the club.

    Forget about Reeves. We've about a million midfielders anyway.

    If he's fit and as I posted comes back to as he played in his first 6 months I believe he'd walk into our present midfield.

    If he does come back, he'll have missed 2 years. I struggle to see how anyone can pick up playing professionally again after so long out.

    We'll have have to see, you could be right, but as I say anyone who's fit and can kick a ball has got to fancy his chances of getting into our midfield at the moment.

    We were losing 1-0 with 20 minutes to play, I think it was more to do with the Ismail for Connolly that actually changed the game

    He's better than Devine and he's not played in 2 years.

    Agree. As soon as it was 1-1 or 2-2 we should've gone 5 across the middle and settled for the point.

    For me it's like he lacks belief in the team at team.

    This will be almost as good as me protesting that Anderson will come good.

    Gb shouldn't be sacked yet, but he needs to work out who to play and where to play them.

    he doesn't get off scot free for last season either, if anything, results got WORSE after he came in rather than better! I know the team was awful and this was after the number 1 problem had already left the club.

    Lowe has just joined and doesn't have the experience Bowyer has.

    Can't imagine that going down well with Bowyer.
