Ivan Toney, what an overrated cheating nob head. Spent half the match on the pitch Anything is possible for us this season Yeah, have to say I was really surprised at how good he wasn't. Also shows how good Craig, Kilgour and Menayese are. Kilgour has got the potential to go on and be a Premier League centre half IMO. Twice the player Lockyer was, already for me. |

Great game where I dare to say that the Gas were marginally the better side. Excellent saves by our keeper and yet again a paramount performance by our defence. And dare I say Nichols and Smith are looking good. 0-0 but great entertainment.

Good game with a fair result. Great to see too that in the two games this week, we seem to be playing a bit more football.
We may not stay the course, and a lot will depend upon what happens in January and of course, who the new manager is. But the commitment and at times, the level and style of football on offer today gives me confidence that maybe, just maybe, we can sustain this.

After that whole hearted and quality performance I would suggest they don't waste money on a rock the boat manager, but carry on with Maher, and use GCs and Dunnes wages to fund a quality loan in January.

Agree Kilgore is tall, slim and strong plus he can play the ball out and is comfortable on the ball, hes not slow either and in terms of build is a better prospect and player that lockyer was at his age. The premiership maybe not but then again who would have thought Lambert would leave us and have such a great career?

The only issue for January will be what our rivals bring in and how quick they gel, on a par as it stands I am starting to believe we can compete with any team in this league, great game today played out between third and fourth place teams both cancelling each other out in a tight game neither looking overwhelmed, both looking capable of consolidating their position, great stuff from our lads considering what has gone on since last Saturday.

If we can get Bennett out then that would free up the reported £4000 a week that he’s on, if that figure is true we could hopefully bring in 2 or 3 loans for that sort of money. |

Good game,good point. Thought we were poor up front until clarke-harris came on and menayese got torn apart by their sub when he came on. Craig and rodman were our best players for me. harsh on rollin- once he realised the lad was literally as fast as a top class sprinter - he backed off and timed his next tackle very well! Top defender for a newbie! Not sure if we changed from 3-5-2 to 4-4-2 but when the sub dragged him out wide he was in big trouble and struggled. He has done very well for us though i agree. |

Pretty obvious we're going to have to contribute at least half that to get him off the wage bill, then it's down to how much the ALQ's will give the new boss. Back to Rollin thought he had a bit of a struggle containing the second half sub, wheresas Kilgore had Eisa in his pocket. |

Think Maher pushed the WB's further up the pitch hence the all action show today, rather than the borefest we've had under GC in most home games. |

Well we’ve picked up 57% of our points at home and sit 4th in the league having only lost once at home all season. Pretty good I think. |

Thought we played well and could have won it at the end, thought we tried to play more football today but that could have been because posh went for it.
Starting to believe this season could end well, even with a shed load of injuries we are competing.
Liked what Kevin Maher said post match sounds professional.

Their manager says the sub is the quickest player he has ever worked with, considering that I thought Rollin learnt very quickly in dealing with his pace. Well played Rollin & the boys, great effort. |

Herbie Kane seems a no brainer for me, just what we need, he’s from Bristol, played well for Doncaster on loan last season and Liverpool will be looking to loan him out in jan.
