The mistake for me was playing Martin as a replacement for THD and Sinclair over Sercombe. I can accept that THD probably needs a rest after the games recently but Martin was slow on the ball and couldn’t beat his man, Holmes-Dennis is just that class above. I felt we needed to start Sercombe from the beginning too as Sinclair was sloppy with possession and out of position too much, he did put himself about and make a few tackles to be fair to him. Burton didn’t offer much, especially not in the second half, we certainly looked the better team throughout. Unbeaten in 4 and away from the relegation zone though, so I’ll take that. The squad is showing one or two promising signs and with reinforcements in January, will hopefully move further from the relegation zone in due course. Martin and Sincs our best players today - but yeah not there for the creativity. What's happened to Matthews could've chucked him on with 20 to go on the left ? Agree on Sincs he did what you expect him to do, which is good cos all teams need that terrier like midfielder. Martin however was absolutely non existent, especially first half, not sure how anyone could say he was our best today. Opinions I suppose. UTG |

Today was a humbling experience and the table don't lie. We are 1 of around 10 teams in a dogfight. The teams who avoid relegation are those who spend / do loan deals well in the January window. Any team in the bottom 10 are capable of going down because their current squads aren't good enough. That's the humble reality and our board have a big part in deciding the outcome !. Did somebody give you a copy of David Copperfield for Christmas? So many humbles. I was disappointed yesterday; after the last three results, I thought that we were more than capable of picking up another win, and moving clear of the bottom four. But it was a battling performance against a well organised side, and we got a point that we probably wouldn`t have, under the previous manager.
