Today

Very poor today. The lads did well to keep it to 0-0. at half time. The Rudd howler at the start of the second half set the tone for the rest of the game. On a slipper, slick pitch our players slipped time and again. They played with little discipline or shape and resorted to hoofing it up the pitch in a desperate effort to get back into the game.

Jutkevitch and Adams ran the show for Birmingham and our defence looked like bambi on ice. We were toothless up front and are very clearly missing Robinson and Johnson, it’ll be a nail biting season if this performance is anything to go by.

I guess given we have so many out that would normally start a game it was always going to be difficult to get a point away from home never mind 3. Given that we haven't dropped any places and there are still a few clubs below us it could be a lot worse. Given we are away at Forrest next Saturday, I'd be quite happy for those with injuries not to be risked and then hopefully be fit for our remaining games this month which could be 4 wins for us with a stronger side out. What do others think? Thanks

On my way back and today showed how threadbare our squad is at this level. We simply can’t afford to lose the likes of Robinson, Maguire, Pearson, clark, Johnson and bodin and not feel it.

+ Harrop of course. That is only seven proven first team players almost all of them first choice.

Have we even got enough players to do that?

Maxwell,
Hughes (though I read on here he's playing with shin splints), Huntington, Woods, Fisher
Ledson, Baxter, Gallagher (probably needs a rest),
Barker, Moult, Barkhuizen

Bench: Rudd, Crowe, Burke, Nmecha and ???????

Reading AN's comments you get the impression Clarke and Pearson should all be back on Saturday. That will make a huge difference.

When I read AN’s comments about being “down to our last 18” I initially thought so what, we only need 11- didn’t factor in that the 18 are nowhere near a viable squad.
