Our away form as defo cost us a playoff spot this year..We must have one of the best home records in the division..

Totally agree with Cambs Don. Top 10 place, as I can't see Posh coming out of the last play off place. 2 games in hand as well.

 

Well done all those at Vale Park.

Our defence and midfield has done that, by letting players waltz through and score.

[Pheonix Vale]

The ref recently sent off the WRONG Arsenal player then it was corrected later, so Vale should appeal!

[boomer's vet]

Doh. My mistake.

 

Still relegation form though.

 

make that 15 points, 3 points off 7th and 4 off playoffs. is that so unacceptable? When was the last time we dropped out of the top half of the table?

Only 2 defeats in 7 now isn't it. Improving at least!

Checked on internet and it looks like the Saint is correct:

On our form over the last 13 games, we would be next to the bottom, only marginally better than Colchester. I guess it excludes tonight's game but it doesn't look too good. The consolation is that results count over the whole season, so our form before January has kept us where we are. If only we could have maintained some consistency!

'...and Knott was substituted with 15 minutes to go, to the general bemusement of the crowd…'

 

Shows what the crowd knows, doesn't it!!

Loft was brilliant since I said he was playing ****

[valiantsireno]

Knot oozes quality, he has been a revelation over the last 5/6 matches and has been by far and away our best player by a country mile.

It's certainly an improvement but 15 from 14 isn't all that clever.

 

It doesn't change my opinion that there are huge areas of work required on the training ground and the pitch.

Well done boys thanks for the three points.

Do you know what bemusement means?

 

Well as much as I was surprised the decision worked a treat even though I wouldn't have put Taylor on.

He was playing ****! His crossing was woeful but if you don't shoot, you don't score. His endeavour is one of his best traits- a captain should never give up & Logty didn't

[Robbie Earle's Perm]

Loft was brilliant since I said he was playing ****

 

I thought he was poor today until he moved to central midfield, that said he never stops running and is always an option for other players.

 

His boundless energy and commitment will make him my player of the season this year edging out Neal.
