I definitely agree that we weren't at out best, I just don't think we were as bad as some people have suggested.
When have we been at our best at home this season. We have had results but I can't really recall us really dominating any one

I'd largely agree with that although I thought we dominated Leyton Orient in the second half.

I think what did play a big part in our win on Saturday was the system we played. I would have thought that all week you would have trained to deal with James Hanson and Matt Green up front, like we have played practically every league game this season, but when neither started and we went with Akheem Rose up top and Moses Ogbu and Max Wright on the wings it must have taken Matt Taylor by surprise and he struggled to adapt your play to deal with it.

Leaves us with a bit of a (good) headache next week. Do we go with the same starting lineup or bring Green and Hanson back in.

Ogbu up top and Rose playing out wide I should have said.

Wasn’t very impressed with either Les, they got pace but one of them missed a sitter first half . Can’t see Ogbu scoring many in league 2 . Hanson and Green are a lot better finishers

He said in an interview on DL 2 or 3 days ago that he was playing a bit too far forward for his preference.
Perhaps he likes to play deeper in midfield in the Kevin de Bruyne role

Matt Taylor has written to the authorities seeking clarification of Huxtables decision to get Archie Collins off the pitch for treatment even though the Grimsby player was booked, and Archie should have stayed on the pitch.

Matt Taylor has written to the authorities seeking clarification of Huxtables decision to get Archie Collins off the pitch for treatment even though the Grimsby player was booked, and Archie should have stayed on the pitch.

"With City down to ten men, the corner was played to Robson, who was left unmarked on the edge of the penalty box before curling a fine shot past Lewis Ward and into the far corner of the goal.

Asked if that was the area Collins would have been defending, Taylor added: “No, Lee Martin would have been on the edge of the box, but Lee Martin went and marked and took Archie Collins’ marker. We do have someone on the edge of the box, so our set up is pretty strong on set pieces against."

This is what Marcus Flitcroft said at the Senior Reds meeting.

I don't think even Huxtable has done this
