Sat refreshing my computer every few minutes eagerly waiting for news from the CoT. Any little nuggets available guys? Even the rumour of a new tea-lady would be something. Just need a few snippets to keep me going.

Have we signed anyone yet? Day 3 of the window already - time is moving on.

Walsall are sat in 11th position 2 points behind Gillingham. It would be hugely embarrassing to lose to two such mediocre Division 2 sides in the same season so let's not screw this up. I get that we'll rest players and have no issues with that but pick a side to do the job and move on.

I don't think the build up to the goal needed Baz to play his sweeping role - that's more for balls over the top where he starts from a high position. When play builds through the middle he should be working on his angles and, for me, he didn't quite get it right yesterday.

Agree, it seemed an odd position and didn't give himself enough time to get down and make a save. Not an obvious howler but a more experienced keeper would probably give himself a better chance of keeping the ball out by being closer to his goal.

Agree, he appeared to make sure he gave himself the best chance to get away with what was a horrendous tackle because he knew he couldn't cope with Edozie. Took a measured risk that he'd just receive a yellow card and clearly it worked.

I really enjoyed our play last night, we were superb for much of the game. If you think back we created so many chances from good interplay and were a tad unlucky to only score two quality goals. Because the final score was close I think many are not giving the performance the credit it deserved. If you reflect on our many attempts at goal it feels very satisfying and yes we should have converted more than just the two but for most of the game we put them to the sword. Off the top of my head THB hit the post, Che scuffed a couple of good chances, Arma lobbed from distance just over the bar, Charley hit one that whistled six inches past the post, KWP drew a good save from the keeper, Aribo sent one just wide, Mara had one blocked and Wee Man should score when clean few - there were probably more as well. Plymouth had zero on target until their gifted goal although of course they were unlucky with the one disallowed by the useless lino. Overall I thought we were brilliant especially considering the number of games at this time and the fact that we made changes.

Ipswich could only draw 0-0 at home to QPR 🙂

Agree, Mara is now starting to show what he can do. Looking forward to watching his development as we may have a future star on our hands. He has a lot more self confidence and clearly believes he belongs in the side.

Agree, no need to rip into him which is why I suggested RM needs to have a quiet word.

No excuses for that even if a ten year old keeper did it. It's not acceptable and RM needs to have a quiet word.

Yeah and to be fair he cost us chances in the first half by wrongly flagging. Those in charge need to look at his performance tonight because he was awful.

It shouldn't matter how big a lead we had - you do not do that and risk the 3 points which were in the bag at the time. No excuses.

It doesn't work like that - we'll never know because if their goal stands the course of the game is altered.

Behave - we battered them and gifted them a free goal. Ok, their offside goal should have stood but we were worthy winners on the night.

Should have won by at least 3 clear goals. Missed some massive chances and gave them a gift of a goal. Their offside goal was very unlucky on them but we deserved the win.

Exactly right. What he did was inexcusable and I hope he will learn from it.

So sloppy. Hope RM rips into them.

Baz!!!!! Idiot - no need to do it.

Come on - once or twice maybe but he's been absolute quality.

Think he's been equally bad for both sides.

Getting sloppy.

KWP needs to cut that out.
