McCall's biggest problem is he doesn't know his best side, which is a crying shame, as the 1800 who were at Bury on Tuesday seemed to.

I think todays line-up, (with a fit Colbeck in for Jones) and possibly Arnison in for Clarke with Rehman moved into the centre, is the one we shouldn't stray too far from for the rest of this season.

With some better finishing, and less inspired keeping, we could have scored a bucketload today - the improvement from Tuesday's effort was amazing.

We really need to back that up on Monday though.

I think McCall has certainly found his best central midfield pairing, Law and Furman worked prety well together, and both looked better playng alongside each other than they have done when paired with Mclaren.

Disappointed the game is off tonight - haven't seen a match played with an orange ball for years!

Great win at Gillingham for City today, really impressive. We now have 2 massive home games to play which could really shape the rest of the season.

On paper that is probably the best result of the season to date.

Was Bury a wake-up call that we needed? Since then we have played pretty much our best 11 and been rewarded with two good performances and results, rather than changing the personnel worrying about the opposition (which we don't need to do in this division).

The next two games are very big now, and will tell us a lot about where we can expect to be come May.

I know it's a results business - but I'm glad I don't have to watch Wycombe every week, they looked more like a rugby team than a football one, and it was funny to see them get rattled late on and turn nasty.

I have never had much time for Peter Taylor, after he tried to claim that the only reason we beat his Hull team a few years ago was because they had to play in their away kit at home, but if he was seriously questioning the red card to his player (he seemed to be berating the 4th official) then he obviously has no understanding of football, what a shocking challenge that was.

We played well, not exceptionally, and just about merited the win I thought, we'll be in a decent position if we can back that up on Tuesday night.

Tell me about it, and we've had some duffers over the years.

Well, to be fair to him regarding yesterday, he hasn't complained about the red card after the match, despite the fact it seemed like he was whining to the 4th official at the time - maybe someone pointed out to him that kicking an opponent in the face isn't really on.

Still a tw*t though.
