    It was more a case of missed chances wasn’t it?

    Really should have won that comfortably.

    You can’t have so many clear cut chances and not score.

    Things that have been confirmed. DeGevigney is just too soft slow and stupid to create a solid defence around him. Killip is country miles ahead of Slonina. Our wing backs can create. Humphreys is our best forward by a distance. Dunn can’t head. Nwakali looks decent if he can add more mobility to his game. Roberts is player of the year.

    DKD seems to be making a habit of missing piss easy chances. That header he missed against Rotherham last week was awful.

    Disappointed that we didn't win but it was a decent performance and Nwakali was a big positive with Humphrys showing his class again.

    Cambridge got thumped 5 0 last week .
    To start the game with no strikers on the bench is criminal .
    Questions have to be asked about team selection imo

    I also thought Fabio should have been given the last 20 minutes or so.
    Could have injected the trickery we were missing with DKD.

    you’re either on a wind up, or a Washday fan on a trolling expedition, can’t think of any other reason for a statement like that!

    which part? Dunn and Phillips had terrible games and we had nobody on the bench to change them, yes they had chances towards the end but for 80 minutes they didn’t turn up. The constant long ball tactic were we just kicked it back to them, we looked good when we played it on the floor but that was few and far between. A decent point away from home mmm maybe.

    MDG had a really good game against Rotherham (in my opinion) but today he's taken 3 steps back with an awful showing. He's a nice lad but I'm just not sure he's going to be good enough for us.

    The header he missed today in the 6 yard box wasn't great either.

    even then it wouldn’t have gone in without the deflection

    I’m not sure if pace is a problem when you are so good on the ball. Disagree about MDG as well.

    Been there and done that and it’s not ended in making a difference hence I can understand why he’s not putting him in anymore. He should have gone out on loan this season really.

    I agree, he looked okish against Rotherham. But that’s very rare and he’s generally more likely to gift a goal from nothing. Having Roberts put in such solid performances week in week out alongside just shows him up all the more.

    I don’t know if McCarthy, Lopata or Shepherd can play his position. If so I’d be trying them and if not that would be my second signing in January. The first being a striker.

    But it was one of our strikers and our leading goal scorer that had/missed the best chances.Edit, Cambridge lost 6-1 last week

    Not pace, mobility. He was static a little too much. He’s certainly excellent at spreading play though.

    As I said earlier, he’s one of those players who is pretty lethal when the balls at his feet, but doesn’t seem to have the first idea in the air

    2 minutes added on was scandalous. Then again we should of won. Nothing really to complain about or worry me with that game. All teams will drop points on the road.

    Played really well again, on another day would have won by 2 or 3. Some really good performances today, Robbo,Nwakali and O’Keefe the pick for me.
