Sounded like and entertaining game. Sherriff gave us an early lead which held til half time but Dunne scored twice after the break to put them in front only for Zola to hit back immediately. We had at least 5 great chances to win after that including Zola and Stockdale having great chances saved. Shuker shooting wide and Harrison and Zola putting wide with only the keeper to beat. Millwall also missed chances most notably at the end when Hubertz headed wide. Should have won but play offs are out of the question anyway so wasn't really too much riding on it. The amount of chances we created was encouraging we just need to take some more of them.

Yes, it did sounds like a really good open game. There werew a couple of one on one chances that were missed at 2-2. Shame really, winning that would have been very interesting.

Didn't go but sounds like it was a decent game. We had plenty of chances but same old story and not clinical enough. Zola and Harrison wasted superb one-on-one chances. Still mathematically possible...:lol:

We played well and it was a good game in the sunshine. We had chances, they had chances but niether capitalised.

Again Ward was very dissappointing and I was constantly nervous when it came to him. Gareth Taylor doesn't even deserve my effort to winge about him. Absolute joke. Defence made a few mistakes which is a little worrying. Midfield was good. Shuker looked a little of the boil but atill took two men with him every where he went. Greenacre looked lively on the ball but improved when he went upfront. McClaren showed an unbelievable aray of passing and worked hard. Very good display. Harrison is finally showing effort, closing players down, getting into good positions and looking like a footballer. Davies looked very good when he came on and created alot and created a more balanced team allowing Shuker and particularlly Stockdale to get involved. Zola worked the ball well on the floor and got in some good positions but struggled with a poor partner in Taylor and when presented with chances he squandered all but one of them.

MOTM. Has to be McClaren for me who ran the game for us. Perhaps if Davies had played for the majority of the game then he would have got it.

Ended with a fair result perhaps we could have won at the end but to say we should have won is not a fair reflection.

Given what SWA says about Taylor above and the fact that Craig Curran did so well last time out, feel Ronnie missed a trick in not getting him on here

No I think we were at our best yesterday -and that was very good- when Davies was on the left and Zola and Taylor were upfront. Say9ing that though, if someone else had been on instead of Zola we could have had five goals.
