He's one of the better skate managers in recent years, f'sure.

People's moods have been affected too much by WHU's result, all of a sudden, because they beat a truly pathetically inept Barnsley (most L2 teams would have thumped them on that display), they are world beaters and we are now 'in trouble'. The fact is and to put it into some perspective, they went into the game after being thumped by Reading and dropping points all over the place. A 4-0 win does not make you world beaters again, they still have their weaknesses and Birmingham are dangerous opposition for them. We're still 4pts ahead of them btw, and I still would say that it will take an almighty ****up by us to finish below them. 4 points doesn't sound much, but to cut that deficit and finish above us in 5 games is some ask - we're still going to be picking up results.

Come on, grow a pair. It was never going to be plain sailing in this run in. Lots of more twists and turns. Don't give up now.

He didn't have a good one today, unfortunately. He's still one of the best LB's in this league though, that's why he keeps his place in the team. When he's out and Harding plays you appreciate how good he actually is.

Absolutely. 4 games in 14 days. Lots of twits and turns, but a very quick turn around so we can rectify mistakes very quickly - and punish other teams slip ups. This period will really test all 3 squads.

We were worse, IMO. I don't think we know how to use SDR properly, although he isn't making the right runs for me. I'm not sure if he's being told to hold back or not, but there was a moment in the 2nd half where he had yards in front of him - but he stood still and didn't run into that space, so Richardson was forced to go infield. You can moan about people not giving him the ball, but if he's not making the space and getting into the space then he's a pretty big passenger in the team.

Now you're being silly, come on. He didn't have a great game but you're picking on stupid things to make a point. At the end of the day, if we remember, in the first 2 mins Morgan was very sloppy and gave the ball away. He then had to give away a free kick in order to stop the player running through - so you could go back to then and say actually, it was his own fault he was injured(!)!)!. But I won't do that, because it would be stupid.

I tell you what, you wouldn't want to be down in the trenches with him. Mainly because he'd have flooded it with his constant bed wetting.

I think there will still be twists and turns, but we have a chance to rectify mistakes very quickly. We now have 4 fixtures in 14 days. This time in 2 weeks we'd have played our 45th game and we'll know a hell of a lot more. I reckon if we pick up a couple of wins and a draw in the next 4 games then it will be going to the last game and that is in our favour. Reading are away at Birmingham, WHU are at home to Hull and we play a (probably) relegated Coventry city at home. As frustrating as todays result is, let's not take our eyes off the bigger picture. The next 2 weeks are huge and with 4 fixtures crammed into such a short space of time, alot can and will change. Nothing is decided yet.

But we haven't got the players available to rest him, if he can get through the game with an injection then he'll play.

Clearly very low on confidence, which is why he did that. I really don't rate him though personally, he never does seems to do much. (although we didn't get the ball to him enough today)

He didn't do a great deal, but he never really gets given the ball. He's totally low on confidence though, you can tell - he was a right bubbly character at the start of the year, but he looks pretty rubbish these days. Why is he a muppet though?

Singling him out for the first goal today is just stupid. Get a grip.

Morgan won't be back this season, would put him as a doubt for the start of next year based on how Nigel was talking about it. That is as big a blow as any. Some people don't appreciate him, but we have no composure in the middle of the park without him. Cork and Hammond played ok today, alot of tenacity and effort...but very little composure from either of them, that was the main problem. We lacked a central midfield player to just take a touch, stop the ball and move it on. We will miss him enormously.

Sorry? What are you on about now?

It was a Derby, the league table doesn't come into it.

How has he cost us 4 points? Moron.

Priority for the summer, whatever league we're in, is a new right sided player.

He didn't seem comfortable to me, he didn't seem able to jump for the ball as he usually does. I think he was rushed back.

It was all a bit disjointed and panicky, we never really gained composure or full control over that game.

His touch around the GK was just a little too heavy, he didn't try to dive. He had a better game than Lambert today anyway.

There were a couple unfortunately' ''Adkins got it all wrong, we should be clear of reading. He's useless, Adkins out'' was the jist of it.

You've based that snap reaction on a weekend of results. WHU lost their game before that 4-2 and looked useless. We have only lost 1 in the last 14 games. We are not in a downward spiral what so ever, it's a Derby game and you cannot read a hell of alot into it. Very difficult games to predict or come to conclusions from. Win against Palace and Reading, which we're capable of and we're almost there. I'm frustated as anyone today, but let's not start saying stupid things like ''the season is over'' ''we're on a downward spiral''.

Here come the Adkins out texts, I just give up with our fans sometimes.

It's still a silly way of looking at it. HTH.
