Presume they were lucky goals blah blah blah
weird because Derby are EASILY the best team to come to the Amex this season yet even we beat them!.I think Chris Martin is a major player for them , it is probably getting to the stage where they will just take the play offs again.

He really is, and Bent has been decent before he was injured but that is one of our problems, we don't have much cover....

Could the best team in the league (for the last two seasons) miss out again? Shocking really. The thing is, when it comes to high level pressure, Schteve cracks. He cracked managing England, he cracked in the play-offs last year and he is cracking again now at the crucial time. It's more than injuries mate, Schteve can't handle the big games.

Oh dear.
It's nonsense to suggest that they 'cracked' or 'bottled it' in the play offs last year. They destroyed us in the semis, and outplayed QPR at Wembley, but got mugged at the death.

No offence, but I wouldn't mind being in a position where only having Chris Martin & Darren Bent constitutes not much cover. What's happened to Jamie Ward? I've always thought he was an excellent player.
Is this really what has caused the downturn in your form, or is it due to other injuries (especially in defensive midfield), or is the current spell revealing that it's your defence that's the most suspect part of your team?
Still hope you go up, and still think you will.
Beyond those 2 though, and we're down to the youngsters and while there's a lot of promise in other positions, it's down to the U18s before one of them is a striker.
Ward is decent, but he's not a striker.....

He's an annoying so & so but I've been very impressed with him over the past couple of years. Intelligent little player. Haven't heard his name so much this season though.
I hear your point about strikers, but imagine not having any of Bent & Martin's quality in the first place! That's us, by the way, well, and most teams below you in the league
Be a shame if you blow it. Now's the time to launch one final big push: maybe you can recover some sort of form after the break, though the players must be feeling a bit fragile lately. But it's still very tight up at the top. There's often seemed to be one promotion place sewn up early- Leicester last year, for example, but that's not happening this time round. Makes for fun viewing. Especially if you still have to play several of the teams up there, as we do.
Johnny Russell?
