Lol CEB, crawl back into your box fella.

There's a pretty substantial gap both in terms of points and size from the top 6 or 7 down to the rest so I can't see us troubling that. But if we keep the recent form up (and keep both El Miz and most importantly Richie), then I think we'll finish 10th - which would be a great achievement and an ex...

Byrnn - 6. Little to do, kicking not great Hunt - 6. One of the least bad performers, but was still quite scrappy Happe - 3. He isn't good enough for this level. Beckles - 6. Limited but handles the physical stuff in a way no-one else we have can. Brown - 4. Not a right back. Weird tactic to go lon...

Does anyone know if you can buy tickets on the door at Chesterfield tomorrow?

Reading through all this I agree with a lot but I struggle to see how anyone can be positive about Pigott. He’s really not very good at all. Real shame but can’t see him ever coming good. Completely disagree. I think he's getting better each week - superb ball to Ruel to win the game against Carlis...

Imagine choosing going to the Gallery post-match over the SC bar...

6 games into a season in a higher division and people on here are already moaning?

Beggars belief.

Let's just sack every manager after we lose 3 games in a row, yeah? Great model for success that.

Sure it's frustrating to be losing games but some of you need to get a grip on reality.

Don't get why people wouldn't want Kelman back, great young player, he's only 21, bags of potential.
Fits our system as well.

Max b Gold must be the most negative person I've ever encountered - wonder if he's ever smiled...

What on earth is everyone talking about?

We're unbeaten in 8, we need 9 points from the last 10 games to secure a top 3 finish.

Yes the draw yesterday was gutting but calm the f*** down people, we are going up, just get behind the team and stop the moaning and the negativity, it's contagious...

Extra point for Ruel for me for bagging two assists.

He's inherently frustrating but Saturday was one of his better games.

What like Arsenal or Barcelona or something?

'A distinctly average player' - for the Championship, sure. Anyone who thinks Bonne wouldn't be outstanding in League 2 is insane. I would love to have him back, outstanding work ethic, rarely injured, runs all match, banged in plenty of goals with us, and was scoring for fun during the first half o...

Couldn't agree more, I thought he looked fairly pedestrian last season, but he's hardly put a foot wrong this season, been played in several different positions, looks really solid at the back, passes it well and he's got a shot on him as well. Plus he's young. Great bit if with to nab him from Derb...

What time is the SC opening on Saturday?

I've said this before, and I'll say it again, why does Ling need praise for doing his job? A job he's handsomely paid, I might add Because since he's come in, when we were circling the drain and had about 3 players heading into the NL, he helped to stabilise us, and now we're challenging at the top...

Decent ratings I suppose, but 5.5s for Smyth and Moncur feels very harsh. They play with intent and get us forward, Smyth was key for the goal to peel the defence away from the middle. Some tidy stuff from Moncur too including a very good shot on target so I disagree with you there. Thought Happe di...

A 7th choice player , hope Richie can work some magic . Tuffers being extremely negative immediately with zero thought being given to the subject? I honestly don't believe it, so out of character. Have you even been to an Os game since the Tommy Taylor era you boring, depressing, negative, facetiou...

Thanks for the ratings but I have to disagree with a few of then there. A 5 for Hunt is incredibly harsh, thought he played well against their better players too, 7 for me, didn't do anything wrong and generally looked to play it forward. 8 for Happe is insane. 6 for me, made some good interceptions...

Honestly tough to call this year, we've strengthened quietly and consolidated well, but maybe one or two concerns remain around injuries and depth, we know from last season how impsctful just one or two injuries to key players can be. We could absolutely finish top 3, but I expect top 7 this time ar...

Proven goalscorer, seems a good lad too, his height alone is an asset but he's not too shabby with his feet either. Definitely pleased to have turned down 100k, it's not that much for a striker who offers a completely different type of threat. Hope his attitude doesn't drop if he's not always in the...

46 games in the season boys, relax. Also, why are people saying our squad is weaker than last season? Moncur > Kyp. And we've managed to retain everyone that we wanted to, I'm in no rush for these loan signings, would much rather we take our time and get someone good in that just sign up another Nou...

Title says it all really. Don't you people get tired of the endless negativity? We've had some training injuries pre-season and a couple of poor showings, frustrating, but not the first club that's ever happened to. We managed to re-sign some absolutely quality league 2 players: Tom James is ludicr...

Would be a blow to lose him. Never understood people criticising Ruel, he young, hungry and exciting to watch. Look again some of his finishes this season, the goals at home to FGR and Bradford are clean strikes and he's never afraid to take a shot. He would definitely score in L1 with good support....
