This might not be to popular but when we are talking contracts maybe we should look at extending Page's one? he has a season left,now yes he makes mistakes but since last season he has improved our defence and our home form is the best since Rudgie was here,so next season he will hopefully improve in the goals department and our away form...it all takes time and he is a young manager who is still learning and is doing a decent job imo,i have no doubt that if he still only has a 12mth deal to run then he WILL get poached by another club

[werstayinup]

What exactly did Hooper do apart from not score a few goals and not win any headers?

 

More than Robinson had done in the previous games but hey ho

[werstayinup]

What did Dodds do?

 

Dodds was his usual p*** poor self again who contributed nothing. Why does everyone cream themselves over him? He's s***!

 

I am not a Dodds fan at all but i will credit him when he plays well and last night he has a very good game especially in the 2nd half i thought now he just has to take it into the next games and thats what he struggles to do but last night he played very well

[werstayinup]

Can't wait for inniss to come back MiGivern is **** yet again conceding a penalty always does stupid things!

 

Did you actually see the penalty? i was standing in line with it,the guy just fell over and grabbed the ball...not a penalty for me,McGivern and Duffy(i am not a Duffy fan either) both played very well imo

[Spunk Trumpet]

A great win which, if nothing else, as good as secures us league 1 football next season. We didnt need an end of season run like last season!

Season still alive but its a huge ask to make the playoffs. We really need 8 wins from the last 12. If only we had pickedup a couple more away wins on our travels! A season of what could have been!

That being said, with Oldham and Colchester up next you never know! IF we can get maximum points from them, 6 wins from 10 looks much more realistic.

Just a mention for ben purkiss he has been a very good signing for us this season good defender and excellant going forward down that right hand side whoever he plays with makes himself available to receive the ball .

Spot on I've enjoyed his performances maybe player of the season contender up to yet

So calm so superb I'd like c him do a give and go and score he certainly his so calm on the ball .

A very good player

I believe Colchester havnt won a league game since they beat Vale in October, some 19 games ago.

Thought we played well tonight three points on a cold and dreary night. Praise for once and merited as a team. Where are the stay away so called supporters though.

 

Had to work last night, hope thats ok with you.:rolleyes:

Thought McGivern was certainly the weak link myself.

[Conrad]

The sentinel are saying ajls got the first goal, not Dicko.

[NellyTheValiant]

Thought McGivern was certainly the weak link myself.

 

Am I right in thinking that you don't rate him anyway?

Thought McGivern was certainly the weak link myself.

Let's not over slate a player when we have won the game he also blocked a certain goal at 1-0 up as did Duffy ,let's encourage hey .

Hooper did ok when he came on aswell ,but doddsy when he is on form brings out the best in the whole team but u cannot expect him do it all the time he is human after all .

As in Ryan Mcgivern .

[valiant_593]

Am I right in thinking that you don't rate him anyway?

 

Yeah you are. Still regardless of that I thought he was our weakest defender and is our worst defender. Just my opinion of course.

[Warren]

Good solid professional performance. Well done.
