    Agreed. AOC wasnt a disaster. Neither was Wood to be honest. Capable lower league players. No frills.

    I thought Wood was decent and he had a little spell where he looked like he could easily play higher up the divisions.

    What a contrast in styles we had in midfield with Kennedy and Palin. Totally different, but both did a very good job for us

    Kennedy would be always suspended these days though!

    Rod Johnson liked the cynical style at times

    It was the 3rd goal in the 3-0 win, Pepper also scored the 1st.
    Great when the free kick went in, 52nd minute we knew we were safe from the drop then.

    And Rod Johnson in a holding role. Imagine a midfield of Kennedy, Abbo, Kammy & Johnson. That's four red cards per match in todays game.

    Shame we were discussing Adam Chicksen though.

    His pace got us out of a few sticky situations where an opposing player was bearing down on goal.

    Afraid he wouldn’t be on the pitch long in today’s game. Booked in 5 minutes off after 15

    Absolutely - two potentially career ending injuries in one season, but some on here blamed him for all city's failings.

    He's found his level that's all. He wasn't good enough when he was here, just as he wasn't good enough for several other league clubs who took him on and then didn't really feature much.

    Good luck to the lad, I'm pleased he's doing well but let's not pretend it was a mistake to move him on just because he's scored a few from left back in the division below.
