I think the free agent market should be considered. But I don't know enough to be sure that can actually be done. Another route might be bring in a junior or reserve keeper from a bigger club if possible - but don't think it is. I thunk we have a major problem. 

A free agent will take about 5 games to get match fit according to DC on previous positions where he has been asked about bringing in free agents.

Wonder if he will bring in Stevens now.

Good effort that was today, more performances like that and we will be fine. Actually looked a decent side at times

Good performance today. Bolton good team, maybe jaded after midweek but we battled today but just lack quality. 

Forwards looked much better.

Garrity in proper position where he should play in today and it showed. He had chances too but missed them.

Donnelly had good solid game.

Will never be convinced with Stone in goal.

We always look weaker after substitutions too.

We've looked much better and more in control since Pett came back in. It's no coincidence. Get all strikers match fit and we'll be more than fine

Pett should be one of the first names on the team sheet. No one notices him until he's out of the team!

Keeper couldnt do much about that one tbf. Won't stop the team getting slagged off though for conceding against a team flying high at full strength.  The players are good enough for this league hence we are midtable. If they weren't we would be where FGR are. 

Correct... I saw someone say our defence is League 2 well imo Forrester/Smith and Donnely had good games today.

Anyone moaning should check the stats on this considering how they are flying right now,we have given them a damn good game.

I think the goalkeeping situation has been a problem defensively,really need a keeper in the summer,if we could pick up a keeper like they had today it would be ideal. Also a dominant LCB and LWB

As of this game the 8 teams below us.  We have won 4 (Morecombe twice).  lost 3 and drawn 3.  On paper we should have easily won a few more games as they were on bad runs, but we didn't.

We lost at Morecambe.

Pett and Wozz.  Then followed up with Taylor and Smith.  The others not sure about as they seem to be great one game, good the next but can make errors that cost.

Well played vale, shows we have enough to pick up a few more wins . I do think Stevens has to come back in though. Desperately missing a fit Wilson for that composed killer ball / finish

WHEN Wilson plays, who do we leave out ?   Taylor ???

Thought Bolton would've been hungover after the battle they had on Wednesday night and then the celebrations after, Plymouth certainly struggled today, we don't have the players to kill a game off.

Don't forget - when we were in 10th - that we had a bottom-6 team?

We still might end with a bottom 6 team. Long way to go.

Today best performance in 10 games of so.

Cannot guarantee what the next ten will bring though

[dazzerjames]

How many points do we get for effort and a good performance?

Against a lesser team …3 points

Clear where the problems like from our last 5 stats and XG. We're not playing anywhere near as badly as some make out

What you are saying is we are rubbish in front of goal. Is that relegation form ?

Where are we now?

I think being able to rotate the 2 is a great option , perhaps stops Wilson from getting so many injuries as well
