FWIW I don't think our "in possession" work has been nearly as good in the past 6 weeks or so. We were a free scoring side up until around Christmas, but though we've continued to get results (the sign of a great team), most of our recent goals have been the product of penalties or late winners. With that in mind, I don't think it's too controversial for Dodds to think our "in possession" play needs work.

Every year we find & develop a couple of 10m gems and sell them on whilst we develop our own class of 92.

Blimey I’d like to think a group of professional athletes could recover from playing an extra 30 minutes of football after 7 days.

Yeah, interesting choice to give one to the guy who's not played since May. Oh well, promotion to win!

Still looks off the pace physically and mentally

Am I right in saying that this is the first time we have been knocked out of the FA Cup on penalties since Basingstoke!?

Apologies if it's already been mentioned but across 3 cup games Vs Championship sides this season (Swansea, Portsmouth, Preston) we haven't conceded a single goal in 300 minutes of football - two of those games being away from home (barring the shootout of course).

Add in the fact we ran Aston Villa very close, and that is quite some going.

It's already been moved to a 12.30 sat kick off. It's whether it's then, or some unspecified midweeker.

Cracking 2nd half this. Feels like it's one big incident off a brawl after quite a few little bundles and niggly little fouls.

I couldn’t see him in them. He certainly wasn’t in any proper training so this is now a massive worry. I wouldn’t say we are a one man team but scoring seems to be very difficult when he’s not playing.
