Unchanged side, routine 4-0 win, 3 goals in the 2nd half after it being 1-0 for fucking ages and missing some good chances. Time to start delivering the goods away from home.

We’ve drawn 5 of the last 7 away, dominated in a lot of them without being clinical enough. I think it’s a fair comment, there’s a lot of dross in this league and we’ve failed to beat plenty of it. Luckily our home form is so good it’s kept us in the running

Shocking defending from Sunderland

Great team goal. Wee man showing how to have a calm head there, get him a proper contract

Get in

Those are the moments, I’ll never change my mind, where someone has to take responsibility and put a fucking foot through it

Che back to his usual self. We HAVE to take one of these. Open on the break there

Being this dominant but only having 1 goal to show for it is the common theme. Not complaining with today’s display, as long as we win it from here

Then a 30 yard shot well wide. That’s why we’re keeping the ball away from him

This lot are shit. Matter of time unless we do something stupid

KWP far too good for this league. So lucky to still have him. Need to make the most of these corners

Nobody out of position. Like it. Now blow them away

Maybe potential banana skins for Leicester and Leeds? Cov in decent form and a local game, if not a proper rivalry. You’d expect Ipswich to win as their home record is so good but some pressure on after no wins in 5. We have to win to pile that pressure on

Wonder if they’ll do a bucket collection for us in our time of need

I’m also after a couple if anyone knows of spares or can no longer go

Rumour is that Russ wanted him gone. Waters’ analysis repeatedly showed that pissing about at back was costing us far more points than it was gaining, but Russ wants the whole team on board with his philosophy.

Home game against a promoted team = must win

All I’m saying is there are times when it’s absolutely not on, but we go for it anyway. Like we saw against Plymouth, we were in such a box that someone had to just take responsibility and get clear, but we don’t and put them back in the game. And I’ll maintain that playing blind passes across our own 18 yard line is just irresponsible and needless

Eastleigh home or away, another lower league side or a top 6 side so we can get it done and forgotten for the season

Positives though, Meghoma looked very assured and hopefully he can push Manning for his place going forward. THB was top class again and obviously Fraser ran the show. Good to see some of the kids getting first team minutes and not looking out of place, and Lumley with a solid performance

Solid win in the end but we’ve got to break this habit of pissing about and trying to gift the opposition a way back into the game at 1-0. It happens far too regularly I’m not saying hoof it forward but some of our ‘playing out from the back’ is just pointless risk with no reward. Holgate’s throw in across our own 18 yard line followed by Stephens’ blind pass to their forwards, then another blind pass from Holgate a few mins later is what I’m on about. It’s just irresponsible or complacent and a better team would’ve punished it, and it might have been a different game.

RussBall does not work when you’ve got very limited players. Every week the fannying around and the back gets us in trouble for zero gain. Does my head in

Nice example of why Holgate and Stephens should be nowhere near the starting XI

Agreed, when he’s on it he really makes us tick. It takes a good few games for him to play himself back into form after an injury/break so we need to manage his minutes but he can be top class.

Let’s hope he’s another year wiser and starts playing everyone in their natural positions
