The winner of the award this week is -

ALI KOIKI

Injured/knock somewhere between the last game and during the international break 
Looks like whatever the knock is it will keep him out for some time according to JB.

AGAIN !

Who was in the North side of the West stand (lower section) that was drawing attention of 2 or 3 cameras today? The cameras focused on them constantly for all the first half and some of the second. Probably the wife of Cam McGeehan, made in Essex or Chelsea or whatever??

Totally agree with this. For me he lacks pace and is slow to recover his position when we are counter attacked.

To be fair, those of us watching on Sky saw very little of the 2nd half.

Surprisingly, in contrast, ifollow was perfect today!

As for McGeehan, for the second game running he got man of the match and for the second game running I can't see why - that's not to say he had a bad game, just not the best player - for me anyway.

Brady said after the game Eaves will be about 3 weeks, so no sign of him yet, just what was wrong with him? Fox might be back soon - whenever that is. I assume Magloire is just simply not being picked. JB also said Koiki will be out for some time, how the hell he got injured I do not know.

As for the game, we were truly dreadful, every ball was just aimlessly lumped up field to no one in particular, none of our forward players can head the ball so it just comes straight back. The passing, and in particular Sowerby who was unable to pass the ball 5 yards, was appalling. I thought Roberts looked good but have we got anybody good enough to play with him? When Fosu came on I was looking forward to seeing him and Roberts together but no Roberts was taken off, I guess we were 'managing his minutes'. McCarron looked lively when he came on, I would like to see him start next week instead of Pinnock who has not looked at the races so far this season. Chouchane did well too. Morton squandered several chances trying to score the perfect goal when he should have just had a go. As for McGeehan, for the second game running he got man of the match and for the second game running I can't see why - that's not to say he had a bad game, just not the best player - for me anyway. As for Sammy, he's not at his best but no way would I leave him out of the team - he is still our most likely goal scorer.

Yet again we lose to Wycombe, this is getting habit forming and we need to stop it.

On form alone, I would be surprised to see Pinnock and Brough in the next starting XI.
On fitness, I have never known any keeper to be injured as much as Burge. You need your first choice keeper to be someone that you can rely on. And that cannot be said about Burge for the last 12 months.

I'd stick with Morton though. Maybe he won't get 20 goals but he's such a pain to the opposition.

Personally think the best front 3 in the squad that suits the way we play would be Roberts up front with Fosu and McCarron out wide.

I blame the new Clarence. Useless!

I think JB needs to be ruthless and bench most of the old guard. Fosu and Roberts are a class above, Couchane and McCarron  move it faster. Mbete still has to convince me but much less so than Brough. McGowan is a proper trier so worth a start. Burge is a worry, looks lacking in confidence to me and seemed happy to come off. So if all the positives are starters, then the likes of Pinnock, Hoskins and Sowerby need to up their game.
