    Is an exponent of shithousery up front to hold the ball and pull a free kick.

    Yeah ball doesn't stick. We've got a 5 hit house in goal.

    I thought Benson would have been that man. Thought today was tailer made for him. He didn't perform. There were times where he could have gone on and he didn't. Some brain fart football after Phillips went off but we won and that's all that matters.

    He’s a really talented lad but doesn’t impose himself on the game imho. Needs a fresh start somewhere and off our wage bill.

    Been on about him today. Still can't get my head around why his legs suddenly went when he signed for Barnsley.

    No doubt we'll need a point to make the Play-Offs. He'll summon up the strength to come out of retirement and play a couple of matches.

    Norwood type, draw Fouls, and bookings, get in defenders faces just general shithousery

    I've been critical of Humphrys this season. He has talent but often seems bone idle and goes missing far too often. Northampton and today I thought he was good. Needs a goal though had a great chance today but opted for the stopovers and got dispossessed instead.

    I like him and was pleased for him that he played very well today after a pretty poor last few games.
    He strikes me as a player that could show character for the run in.

    What we're missing is any decent wing back, left or right side.

    I thought we were missing a proper forward running midfielder, but I saw one in Russell this afternoon. He has the ability, but needs the intent.

    He should have had a assist for Humphrys today when he ran then played him in. But good forward run.

    I'm missing something wet and slippery.

    About 5 or 6 quality players / and better options on subs bench

    Yeah and I was going to say similar to that, we certainly had that player in James Norwood.

    It's all about opinions, but I think we massively lack a ball carrier. Someone who can transition us from defence into attack. Someone with electric pace, trickery and guile.

    Ball never stuck with Humphrys. He should be able to do it but doesn’t.

    Benson couldn't lead his dog, completely useless, but he is laughing all the way to the bank
