Great pressure from Mubama.

Lincoln leaving huge gaps in midfield. But we've not got that second goal so it seems a gamble to take our two main scorers.

WHAT A GOAL - WELLINGTON!

Wellington really struggling with the pace and positioning today. I guess he hasn't play much. Needs to come off soon.

A bit better finishing and Lincoln would be ahead. Giving them too much space out wide and in the area.

We are giving them too much space. Have to hope they tire and we can create a bit more space.

Unless we have made some last minute signings, I'm a bit worried. Just one proven striker and one youngster as yet unproven. It not enough, especially if one gets injured. Not sure what the club is doing.

On reflection tonight was a great result. They look an excellent side and really worked us. But we also had our chances. A point away is decent.

Can't believe we are rid of him for good. All those goals he let in and all that time the club persisted with him as number 1. What a waste of time.

Well, someone had to say it

Would give the whole club a massive boost if we can get Bazunu gone for good. A bag of crisps should cover the cost.

As long as it doesn't break the bank I have no problem with JWP or March. Experience helps as shown with Larin. I could see JWP and Larin combining well for corners and free kick goals given James's delivery quality. He'll always give 100% and will want to do well. Perfect move for him. March has been on the slide, but maybe can teach Fellows how to score?

Quite likely we'll get thumped by Millwall if we persist with Jack Stephens. Does nobody at the club analyse the goals we concede and spot a trend?

Yes we look weak. Lack of energy and quality. Even last some of last year's players look like they can't be bothered to go again.

Scored - Manning. 3-1 - No worries

Pen! And a red.

GOAL!

Hardly had time to settle in. How can you judge him the same as Edozie who has been here for years?

On the back foot from the off. Need to wake up lads!

So far the players have underestimated it I think. They expected an easy ride this season and forgot we were good because we worked very very hard toward the end of last season. At least we have Larin!

If the window closes and we've sold Charles and THB and not adequately replaced them, we'll be in for a long hard season. Those two and Stewart contributed vital goals that turned matches around last aeason. I'm preparing to be underwhelmed though.

Not much time left in the window. It's obviously a good thing we've kept Larin (2 in 2 already) and Peretz. Dobbin will have his day, I am sure. But still feels like we're standing still in terms of developing the squad. Maybe it's all we can afford, but we could do with 2-3 more first team or close to first team ready players. A replacement for Charles (for depth), someone out wide, and a better CB to play alongside THB. I don't mind Wood there, but Stephens has to be benched now. Loanees would be fine if we can get them. As with the City striker on loan, I expect we'll be trying to do this on the cheap.

Still don't understand why Stephens let the guy run unopposed till the last moment for their second goal. What was he thinking? Crossing was also poor all round. Hopefully just finding their range. Lots of slick play in the second half, especially when Azaz came on. There is hope, it's only 1 game.

Miss from point blank. Should have been on target.

Well, not the start we hoped for. Need to do better.
