You can forgive Ruel for his 50p feet if he’s scoring but when he is missing easy chances as well it’s hard to justify a place in the team. Mind you, he’s still better than the Piglet. El:Miz has to be MOM. Different class to anything on that pitch tonight. Honourable mention to Gailbraith.
God knows how many Dan Agyei would have got tonight if he had played.
Ruel worked hard but his finishing was poor.

Thought Ruel actually did the grind part of being a lone forward tonight a lot better. Made a load of good runs, pressured their centre backs and linked things up well. Maybe he always does this and we just can't see it as well when watching live. But his finishing and decision making in final third was absolutely atrocious.
We're short on options up front or Ruel wouldn't be in the starting 11. He's not a League 1 player I'm afraid. I know he's scored a handful of goals this season but only because he's been given so many chances. He misses so many sitters and I'm sure he'd be better if his boots weren't tied together.
Maybe give Edwards a Start & swap him at
half time for the Bournemouth kid

A 1-0 shellacking. Ruel will be a relieved man, fluffed some excellent chances.
Miz, Brown, James and Galbraith outstanding tonight. This team is unrecognisable from the side we were in November.
We should include Moncur . He looked really good tonight

Moncur was invisible for the first 45.

Ruel shouldn't be our starting striker. The only reason he is, is because 1)Piggot can't press and 2) Lingy ballsed up the senior striker we were after.

Can’t argue with hoover on all counts, we could and should have had at least four tonight and Ruel was at fault for most of those misses

Pressing is one of many things Piggot can’t do. The main one being scoring goals.

Dan Agyei would have got a hat trick tonight if he played in Ruel’s position.

Richie’s interview last Saturday. (Not the one on Monday where he rowed back after being told off).

Blimey, give Ruel a break! Yes, he's missed a sitter or two by all accounts but talk about everyone piling in on the bloke. We won a game away from home on a Tuesday night, another 3 lovely points. We should be concentrating more on yet, another victory.

In RW we trust
I said a couple of weeks ago I thought the gap was too much for us to catch the sixth placed team . Now it's down to only seven points I'm wondering do we dare to dream ?

Of the three chances that fell to Ruel, only the first was a bad miss, the other two were great goalkeeping.
Theo missed a real sitter last Saturday, and no one said a thing.
We won the game and im happy
