That talk of mid-table a few weeks ago seems a long way away now. Good job Grimsby and Southend are also terrible.

Anyone think there was any improvement in mid-field?

It wasn't great. Very little difference between the two teams but I think Bradford got the rub of the green. A 1-1 dour draw might have been a fair result.

Relegation is looking more and more like 2 out of 4 ... and I would say it is 50/50 that we stay in the league

Well despite what we have tried to change in management and players, nothing has changed in how we set out to try and win games. Both of their goals were soft and defendable. I think we had a fair shout for a pen second half but not to be. So nothing has changed in our league position. I think the two relegation are nailed on for any two of the current bottom 4 places, no one is going to get sucked back in. We need leaders out on the pitch and none of them seem to want to take on the role. Here’s hoping that we are the 3rd worst team in the league at the end, I bet it’s a nail biter.

IMO Biggins was the pick of midfield, he is improving every game.

No, but as pointed out previously by Big Mac - veyr hard for a midfielder to play a part when we play looping cross field passes in the hopes that we will pick up scrpas. The game becomes just that - scrappy and we seem to have lost our identity if we ever had one this season.

Agree - worked hard. Kept it ticking over when he could and won some good free kicks with clever turns

why a back 5 ? certain this was to accommodate Thomas, which is ridiculous ,the problem we've had all season is daft goals and it's all down to this system, just play back 4 with a midfielder sitting just in front, we cannot continue being sloppy in defence I'm afraid Jolley has to take the blame for this decision just lucky grimsby and Southend are as bad as us !

There is a gap developing now above us, as mentioned above it's any 2 from the bottom 4, we need to pray the other 3 teams dont start to pick up some form otherwise we are going to be in big danger of going down

Poor ref again ! Definitely a couple of fouls went against us ! Not enough creativity to feed the strikers but with all 7 new players playing it wasn't going to be plain sailing. We really could have done with that Grismby game being on Tuesday!

Jolleys football has always been regarded as shite by any fans of teams hes been at. Why would you sign "footballers" and proceed to hoof into the channels all day long. David dunn 2.0

So frustrating. Once again coming off second best by the odd goal in a close game. We had good spells and chances. Meanwhile at the other end, you have to say clinical finishes.
