Given Barton didn't make any changes until after we scored, surely that was his decision rather than a player claiming he was injured warming up? I guess the result proves Barton made the right decision. You obviously missed the point. He had taken his training gear off, was ready to come on, wearing just his kit and receiving final instructions. There was still over twenty minutes left and at that stage they were well on top. Barton could have changed his mind, at the last minute. Not sure what happened. But something happened last minute.

A little bit disappointed he didn’t start let alone get some decent minutes today. Arguably our most gifted player in the squad. He’s just getting himself fit/head straight and one of our best performers last week. Way to improve his fitness and morale that is well done joey. He was ready to come on half way through the 2nd half. So not sure what happened. For all we know, he could have been feeling tight when doing final stretches or anything. Obviously you were on the touchline though and heard what was said.

Thomas was coming on a while back but sat down again. Glad someone else saw that, I thought I meant have dreamt it😂. He was ready to come on about half way through the 2nd half. Not sure what happened.

Probably against many views but I’m glad Harries back in. He can pass and when he plays well and cuts out mistakes we do look a better team. Of course I know he has a mistake in him but this is League 2. Him playing at his best will help us move up this table. COYB. UTG! He's still only 24, so still has plenty of time to improve. He has made mistakes, but he has had a lot of good games as well. I don't mind him being in the side either.

Don't wanna sound harsh but its his own fault, knowing he was on 9pts already he should have been even more careful to stick to the limits. Ive got done for exactly the same mph over the max limit on the Portway and I couldnt wriggle out of it, why is he different. cant imagine he is short of a few bob either going by his career. It's quite common really. Most that appeal get off, if they need a car to get to work. I've known a few people who have done it, everyone of them, kept their licence. Plus most can get off their first 3 points, if they sit a safety course. Got nothing to do with money, or who he is. I don't agree with it. Like you say it's their fault and if they are continuously breaking the rules, then they deserve to lose their licence! One of them was even a taxi driver, but they when he reapplied for his licence, he got turned down! He's appealing it now, hopefully he gets turned down again!

So after having a cryptic message yesterday, we have had the same debate about the location again😂.
It's a pointless debate anyway, as any news stadium, would need to have new transport links anyway.

I thought Thomas had similar issues at Ipswich? He did. They are massively in debt, not the club they once were and Paul Cook struggled to understand him. [br.. Thought they were taken over and had a bit of money now and that's why they appointed cook??

I like Thomas and hope he can kick on. What interested me most about that interview is the little teaser of a comment saying he didn’t want to give too much away but there are good things coming. Probably Callum Camps arriving as I doubt stadium news etc would interest a loan player and it's unlikely we'll sign another striker? He could be talking about him joining permanently as well. Never know, if he's finally feeling happy and is closer to home, he might consider it. His club might let him go as he hasn't been fantastic so far, so they might think he's not going to make it with them.

I thought Luke Thomas looked very good yesterday, not just going forward, but defensively as well. It's also on the matchday thread, but his interview after the game showed that the intervention of Joey Barton had the desired effect, which Luke himself acknowledges. The double threat of Thomas and Nicolson looks promising for the future, especially if Loft can gel with them. Then got Evans and Collins etc as well. When everyone is fit, we will certainly have options!

I didn’t watch the game yesterday as was away for the day with the family. How did Luke Thomas do yesterday in his first start for a while? Heard he was one of our better players - be great to get him fit and firing for the whole second part of the season! Thought he looked a lot fitter than he did before. We all know he's got the technical ability, but I was happy with the way he got back as well. On one occasion, Hoole miss judged a ball and Thomas covered well and was the furthest player back. To me that was more impressive than any of his attacking play, as we know he can do that. It showed he is listening and putting in the effort. Hopefully it will continue.

They both look about 17! How old was the Max who came on in injury time? Said he was our 2nd youngest player every I think. Tried to find his age, but can't. Think he started when the under 16s this year though, so he's probably 16.

Am I the only one who didn’t see a foul? There was a small push when the ball was mid flight. But that happens at every corner! Very soft free kick

I'm awaiting the part where we start conceding more now he's gone and we beg him to come back Only 4 teams have conceded more than us so he couldnt have been helping that much, and there are some dire teams in this league We don't exactly have an experienced defence though. So it's hard to say if he's helped or not.

Lambert was a proven L2 goalscorer though. He had scored 22 goals for Rochdale the season before we signed him and had been joint top goalscorer in the league. Not saying that we have necessarily signed Loft for his goals though. If they come then great, but if his presence in team makes us better overall then that's still beneficial. Thought we signed him in the January? He only scored 28 goals in 64 games for Rochdale. So if he scored 22 goals the season before, he didn't score many the season we signed him. So I wouldn't call him an established goal scorer, lots of players have had one good season. Just looked we did sign him in August, at the end of the window. He didn't score in the first 3 games for Rochdale though. So there was still a slight risk and I can remember a lot of fans moaning. Although a lot moan anyway😂😂

Similar age to Lambert when he signed isn't he? We managed to get him from another league 2 club. I get what you're saying though. This signing could go either way. I'm just pleased we have a different option. 2 1/2 year deal is a bit of a risk, normally when we give out long contacts, they do rubbish! Lambert was a proven L2 goalscorer though.

I've seen positive comments from Scunthorpe fans, as well as negative comments. Some of his goals on YouTube, have been pretty decent. Some player's improve at new clubs, others get worse. So I won't judge him, until he's played quite a few games for us. At least he gives us a different option. He's a lot more mobile than Pitman, so will give us a mobile target man, that can bring others into the game. Hopefully he can chip in with a few goals along the way. It wasn't a criticism nor a judgement Dan, just an observation. If he was that impressive then we wouldn't have been a le to sign him. Hopefully he is a good signing with improvement to come.

Yes, I’m surprised reading their forum that they aren’t more angry at having their too scorer (is he?) sold when they’re where they are. We’d be furious wouldn’t we? But I don’t make notice of what fans say, Coventry fans didn’t rate JCH did they? In the end he starts his Rovers career and I reckon the players around him here are better than those at Scunthorpe so fingers crossed that he’s a good fit with us. UTG! I think you have to bear in mind a little what they say. They've been watching him week in, week out. There are other variables to consider too though. Hopefully he'll do well!

Ffs what we giving clowns like that 3 years contracts for 😭 Can see why we would. Was a bit of a coup for us to get him, sometimes it doesn’t work out It's our luck. He was probably rated higher than Evans when signing. So one gets a 3 year contract and the other gets a year year deal!

This seems a little under-reported, even the BBC buried it in its footy pages ?
Could make some differnence - but what does 'on the match day' mean ? - midnight ? - 24 hrs pre kick off ?
I'm surprised its not been mentioned here - as it came in with immediate effect on 1st Jan it seems ?
I mentioned this when our game against Orient was called off. This with player's only having to isolate for 7 days now, should mean less games are called off on the day A lot of Orient fans were not happy that our game was called off. To be fair if it was any other club, I would have been moaning. It did sound pretty suspect. At the moment any club can say they have symptoms on the day, if they have an injury crisis. Especially if they only have one fit defender
