Even though you did mug us on the day Brentford are actually one of the better sides I've seen us play this season, it's not saying much as this division is very average this year IMO but if they play like that for the majority of the season then I think you'll definitely be in with a shout of a top 3 finish.

Defence is good. 10 clean sheets this season. I can't really complain about the rest I think its mainly just that our brand of football isn't very attractive. But then, in the UK below the Prem, what is? There's Doncaster and thats about it!

Gillingham drew 1-1 with Wycombe Wanderers

Notts County decided to charge 5 quid for the home fans, and 20 for the away fans against Rotherham, so all the Millers fans went into the home stands, and got moved at 1/2 time incase something kicked off

1-1 draw against Dagenham, good result, especially as we equalized in the last minute thanks to Ian Sharps!

Very frustrating from our point of view, after the first five minutes we totally dominated the play in the first half, hit the woodwork a couple of times and missed a couple of decent chances.

Again I'd say we were the better team in the second half, though our final ball wasn't there and we didn't create too many good chances. As the game went on I was half expecting Shrewsbury to nick one late on but I don't really recall you having any clearcut effort on goal and I think you were happy to take a point, both sides should (IMO) have had penalties too.

Personally I think we'll come to regret not winning today, for me it was the first really important "promotion" game of the season, we played some good fluid stuff at times, but it is alarming that we haven't scored in 3 of the last 4 games, notwithstanding the fact we haven't conceded a goal in any of them.

Shrews' looked well organised and obviously are dangerous up front but, today at least, didn't seem to have too much of a supply line - how much of that was down to the way we played I don't know, I thought your right back (Moss?) was superb, his timing in the challenge when up against Daley was first class.

Yeah I listened on the radio. Got a similar impression to what you gave me. Bradford had more chances but we sporadically threatened. Im happy with the point really considering our away form is shocking.

Hope we can pull in some new faces, apparently we bid for Liam Hatch but we need someone with pace really. That jamie ward was on our radar apparently but we wont be able to afford him i doubt.

I think Barnsley have put in a bid for Ward. A few of our fans in dreamland reckon we should be after him! I think his sights are set alot higher than that.

Yeah i imagine the bid would be half a million at least now.

It will be interesting to see who we do go after, if what I've been told about Thorne's back (it's totally screwed) is true then he will only be able to play a bit part for the rest of the season at best, and we do need someone else to knock the goals in because, for all his recent improvement, Conlon isn't going to score enough to compliment what Boulding does.

There are strong rumours that we are in for Andy Bishop but I can't see that either, I'm sure he could do better than League 2 and won't come cheap anyway.
