Johnson out!

He's been brilliant for us. Would be a key player next season if we can keep him.

I'm quite optimistic for next season. LJ will get his own players in and I think we will be much stronger. Top half would be a good improvement but I think the manager will be aiming for promotion.

Think I spoke too soon, 3 in 3 since I posted ?

We are safe! There's no way Scunthorpe beat both MK Dons and Swindon

Might be a risk but think he deserves his chance after playing well in the reserves recently. LJ definitely gives youth a chance.

Second yellow for not taking a throw in quick enough. Nice

The same thing happened at Swindon we looked a threat until smith and iwelumo came on.

Am I the only one who thought we played very well in the first half last night?

I would obviously like someone better to play as a target man just think simpson gives more than smith. Last night I would have liked to keep Barnard on and play the way we did in the first half

Everyone keeps going back to the Liverpool and Everton games. Yes he played well in those games but he doesn't bully defenders at league one level, that is our bread and butter.

Simpson held the ball up well last night and won his fair share of headers. Smith has height yes, strength and power no. Heading ability definitely not.

We created a lot more and played much better football without smith.

It worked fine in the 1st half
