Lets just hope that theres four teams worse than us come end of season.

Some of them are garnering points (or have games in hand), that's the problem.

Can't see how we're going to get another 6'ish wins

How poor was tommy for their goal btw? He got a hand to it and just palmed it to their man. Then flapping his arms about like a bird after, embarrassing

Tommy has a habit of punching rather than catching, which is at best a 50/50 whether it goes to one of our players or the opposition. If it goes to them it comes straight back with force.

It's a habit he needs to stop .

I'd have no problem with him punching, it was the pathetic girly palming of the ball to gift yet another goal. He's made loads of errors this season, but get overlooked as its Tommy Lee. He's a steady keeper, but very overrated by a lot and another department that could be improved rather than relying on sentiment. I imagine he's one of our top earners aswell.

Hearing both ebanks blake and Novak both injured after the game

Novak has a habit of picking up knocks when the going gets tough.

Injuries are generally what you get when you sign a load of long term crocks. Thanks Deano!!!

How many points do we need? Well 6 from Crewe and Colchester as a minimum, any more are a bonus

How many do I reckon we will get? 3, maybe 4, but they must be coming against our relegation rivals, we can't afford to let anyone build up a head of steam.


Put it this way, Colchester have not won a league game since October, if we can't beat them then we deserve to go down.

I would look to get rid. Vastly overrated.

We'd be relegated already if not for his early season form. Courtois would struggle with our patched up and out of position defenders guarding him. He's not been great but he's far from the glaring issues at the moment.

Agreed.

Though that was a shocker. Quite often he'd get a foul, but no excuse for not catching, or at the very least punching it hard.

You do expect your goalkeeper to catch the ball in his six yard box though . Compare that mistake with Peterborough goalkeeper- he got everything in the air .

Oh agreed, it was far below his usual standards, I think sometimes keepers second guess they might get a foul in situations like that and lose track of the ball. Alnwick for his OSCAR winning theatrical performance at least got that part of his game spot on when his team were under the cosh. Ball stuck to his hands like superglue.

Messing about to one side, I thought their keeper had a great game.
