can't see Liam being dropped after the comments made by SK.

Very decent goal. Good play by Devine and good finish by Vale. A few things spring to my mind as being obvious about the current team/set up. 1) Kelly - being rested is no bad thing. This happened to Maxwell back in the day and he benefited from it. 2) Centre Halves - we don't have 3 good centre halves - so don't always play 3. 3) Devine and Gent both look very good in the wingback area play them both please. 4) Play both Bair and Vale - BUT when you bring on Obika -one of them needs to come off. They are not a good front 3. We've got more than enough goals in us to progress but we need to move away from being a soft touch for any set plays/crosses.

Not all keepers come off their line - Gorum is an example . no question Kelly has had poor games and looks devoid of confidence . As poor as he was for the first goal last night the defence were equally poor. The amount of crosses into our box where the opposition won the first and second ball is disgraceful and frankly a key reason we concede so many goals . Someone posted earlier at lack of spine - good keeper , good centre halve, centre mid and forward - we lack all of the above . Butcher looks done as a player - I’d rather bring Casey back in and see if he can regain last seasons form

SK's primary issue is not having a decent plan B and being able to adjust mid match. Last night become obvious by 20 mins that we were being outfought.We should have changed formation in first 25 mins. He waited until we were 2 down - that's a huge error. Then just brought on 3 strikers when it was obvious we had to break them down. There's a lot the manger does well and he has people playing for him but his in game mgt is poor. Hence the amount of draws & defeats.

Last week SK said with lots of games coming we’d need to rotate team . he didn’t do that . After 20 mins we were being outfought . waited until too late before changing it . When changed it Vale & Halliday made sense but equally we needed to break them down , Nicholson was the obvious choice . God only knows what formation we ended up with . very poor man management and equally piss poor all over the pitch

Kettlewell needs to take a huge amount of blame for tonight we all knew what we’d face and he put out the wrong team and sun choices and structure out the window

I don’t get why Nicholson who has a bit of guile isn’t hasn’t been used - instead obiika - complete nonsense

I can’t believe Nicholson hasn’t been brought on

I’d go with Sod , Paton and maybe miller off nicholson , vale and Halliday on

We need fresh legs , several players look a yard of it tonight decent subs - get them stripped at half time

We had some nice interplay early but lost it and our approach is wasteful mid already be thinking about subs

We’re not winning our share of 1st or 2nd balls and look suspect again in defence could do with putting out foot on the ball

David Martingale said he was gutted that Adams had been sacked - I really like his honesty. Adams staying in charge was a great opportunity for the rest of the bottom 6.

wellfans account has been hacked 😉 To be fair there's plenty of reasons in the past to question and doubt we'll have too many nights like last night but it was great to see. Really hope we can edge towards 6th and get away from the bottom, the manager and everyone can do with a bit of breathing space.

Our backline was more settled last year with a fit Butcher , McGinn, Casey + 2 decent wingbacks. The last few months has had so many chop/changes. Casey/Butcher/Casey struggling with fitness + form and having to move S'OD and Mugabi around a few positions. I still think we're struggling with the central defenders. If all fit and on top of their game I don't think all who started last night/recent weeks would get a game. Also agree that confidence/habit creeps in. As a team we're on tenterhooks for every cross ball. Need a few clean sheets to build confidence.

He reminds me of Kirk - reads the game , has a great eye for goal, too slow to be a striker but a dangerous player who links play well . we should put him on as a sub for all cup games

Tell us next time you get that feeling GazzyB - will be sure to tune in .

Nothing against the player and hope he recovers - it’s more about the balance we now have

Absolute quality

Hoping we can bring on Nicholson and anyone else on the fringe

We’re a far better midfield and team without Slattery . Much better balance about the midfield. overall excellent team performance in the first half . still feeling nervous - a 4th would help my nerves

Best first 30 mins all season - by a distance

Lovely goal Blair he’s been superb in this formation

That type of feeling is typically kept for a Saturday

Nicholson if used will be as a sub and impact player until he’s fully up to speed happy for him to come on for final 25-30 mins to get into the swing of things .
