We’ve played all of the top 6 once and taken 4 points. We’re closing in on them but we probably have to beat some of them to get in to the top 6 and stay there. Thing is out of those 6 games 5 of them have been away so now 5 out of those 6 games in the second half of the season will be at home. Some big games at the Mem coming up I’ve the next 3 months can’t wait bring em on.

A pleasure to watch this group. No matter the opposition, I always go into games with a certain amount of belief and expectation that we can compete and give anyone a game. With 2 or 3 key signings who knows what the rest of this season could have in store for us, but I'm certainly looking forward in anticipation. Bring on the next game. Up The Gas!!!

Don't want to be too negative and feel the wrath of the good Doctor, but we are 8th with a goal difference of -1 and need to strengthen our rearguard to give us any chance of challenging the top six clubs. Despite successfully defending a one goal lead for the whole of the second half, we never controlled the game and it felt like they could snatch an equalizer at any time. The final whistle came as a relief. A one goal lead is always flimsy.

Weren't we saying the same thing last season, then we suddenly started beating them, I doubt beating the likes of Bolton will be as easy but you never know with this group of players.

It’s reassuring to know that even if we go a goal down like we did yesterday, we have enough firepower and attacking threat to turn it around. Still a little concerned with the manner we are conceding goals.

I notice Hoole is becoming a bit of a Alfie figure for some this season. More critically assessed and unfairly blamed than most players. Not sure why we do this? Reading reports, sounds like Hoole had a good game and was moved inside to add height to the back 3, not for Gibbons to cover for him at RWB because he was underperforming Of course he’s not perfect, he’s still learning and Joey is a little to blame for his lost confidence by playing him out of position in a very weak back line a couple of times. Think we’ve got a great player on our hands here. Give him time and a bit of leeway!

Yeah I like Hoole and considering he’s only been playing Professional football for just over a year he’s doing really well especially considering the move up in the leagues. Same could be said pretty much for most of our defenders.

We should have beaten Bolton away not so long ago. Nothing to fear here. Like to good doctor Im predicting a 6th place finish Hopefully with a cup double
