So why is it we got the worst defence in the division bar one ?. I witnessed the Bromley right side player run circles around Gordon. Thomas distribution from the back as been poor at times . Even reliable Connolly have looked both weak and lacking pace. And Gibson who played at championship level looks inconsistent. Gibbons and Hoole will make Robbie Pethick crossing look decent. To blame Alfie is unfair in a shaky defence. Our front line IMO is one of the best in a long time with Collins Sinclair Coburn Marquis Saunders etc . They have been terrific and papers over a poor defence which is the worst in leauge one. Alfie is as good as any of our defenders and is being singled out unfairly. "worse defence in League 1" haven't we only lost once in 11 games and that was when we played Wednesday/Saturday? 1 league game in the last 16🤷🏻♂️😄

I think it's more referring to the fact that only Forest Green and Burton have conceded more than us in the league this season.

Tilly's Thighs, Red card or no it is yet another case of MK Dons causing us no problems whatsoever- Kilgour appears and within minutes we are caught by a simple ball over the top with Kilgour ball watching as usual. Unfortunately one of our own that has now for a long period been not good enough for this level or probably League 2 as well. A move to a National League side would seem very likely and probably when the window opens. So why is it we got the worst defence in the division bar one ?.

Anybody would think within 5 minutes of coming on Kilgour had given away a needless penalty when we'd hardly looked like confiding all night. Kilgour needs to get a loan deal elsewhere this January to get his career back on track.

Who do we want? Think home advantage in this comp is huge. No one wants to travel for a cold away game in a tin pot trophy. Cheltenham or anyone at home for me. Would quite like Plymouth or Pompey, certainly more than Accrington!

Accrington at home, I although in reality it’ll be Portsmouth/Plymouth away on a cold winters night.

Someone might know the law better than me, but I think it’s given as a red because he’s the last man, stopping a goal scoring chance and is not going for the ball. It may be debatable looking at the footage, whether he would have got on to the ball anyway, though. In my opinion it shouldn’t have been given as we were out of sight in the game and it would make no difference to the outcome. Surely if there’s the smallest bit of doubt, just don’t give it in that circumstance? Luckily, Kilgour’s not going to start the next match anyway. Red card bans only count for games played in this competition. We may well wish to have Alfie in the squad for the next round, given that some people are complaining about JB "risking" our better players in the Pizza Trophy. Alfie has certainly lost his way at the moment, although I think the way that you've chosen to express your views is rather disrespectful, given his previous efforts for the club. I didn’t realise that the red only counted in this competition and I’d ask that you re-read what I posted in that context. That’s why I said he won’t start the next game. I’m really sorry if it came across badly as I have the utmost respect for Kilgour. He’s been a cracking player for us over the years and always represents the club with passion and dignity.

I think that is a fair point I would like to see him go out on loan in January, to give him the chance to play regularly. We will need one more CB in the door then though. After having Whelan and Hoole picked above him (lincoln!) he needs a chance to regain confidence

We can put a recall clause in the deal, but less attractive to other clubs so less likely to get a loan? Unlike Westbrooke where a recall clause would make it more attractive

Apologies, it was the inclusion of "Luckily" that seemed a bit off. I can see now that you were meaning that the ban wouldn't actually affect the team selection, as you were thinking it would be enforced for the next league game.
