[Denny61]

What outcome do we want
Leeds v foxes...im hoping for Leicester win..they still too far off to be caught and could have won today's market comfortably on another day ..

A good hard fought victory another assist from Davis and Burgess was great he just needs to put one of his chances on target COYB.

I think a Leicester win….

[arana peligrosa]

rotherham and birmingham both home games, you'd ideally expect six points from it but unfortunately it just ain't as simple as that. The Yorkshire team have caused us problems many times before both at PR and wherever they play at and Birmingham must have picked up since firing Rooney and his services.

Quite looking forward to the Bristol City fixture coming up soon after. Mark Ashton against his former employers and all that, the West Country team have acquired some fine scores just recent and possess some players of merit. Won't be easy but got to believe we have the capabilities inwhich to get victory once again.

9 points from 9 is a feasible total from those games highlighted but they'll all be out to stop us, get results for themselves. They have their own end of season objectives, after all.

Pressure was really on us today to get a win after Southampton and Leeds got 3 points from their games. For me that was the most impressive thing about the result, winning when the heat is really on. Still feel that out of the 4 contenders for a automatic spot we are the outsiders but we are like a bad smell, hanging around and won’t go away.

Nice to see Chappers back on the scoresheet. Maybe missing the start at Millwall lit a fire and he’ll be back to scorching the back of the net!

Such a gutsy performance and massive result, as Darren Ambrose said you can't always be on your game and days like this shape your season, Burgess immense today. Two winnable home games now and the March is back on.

Mike, It just goes to show how much we missed Burgess at the CB whilst he's been in Qatar he's a solid rock, also why wasn't Axel on the bench today, was he injured?? with the games coming thick and fast we need Axel on the bench, I must admit he did look a pissed off at the Millwall game

[Charnwood]

If we are going on a run of winning games, today’s was just the type of game you have to learn how to win and Leicester and Leeds have both been good at it before today. Unfortunately it’s the sort of game until now where we’ve dropped two points, and hopefully we’ll have learned from it as I’m sure it won’t be the last where we struggle for the win. Next one up is Rotherham where we’ll be up against 11 players fighting for their Championship survival and will be very difficult to break down but once we’ve got ahead will probably not have the fight in them to come back.
An early couple of goals would probably be enough to see them off.

I see the saints have 4 home matches out of nxt 5..how did that happen!!!

[hallamblue]

Bit like how their run of form appears to coincide with them playing mostly teams below mid table . It’s certainly helped them gather some momentum.

….. However, they’ve got a very tough March. Playing teams mostly in the top 6 I think, including us. Bring it on…..

[herforder]

Interesting post-match comments by KM. He feels we’re getting stronger, having overcome injuries, absences and integrating new players. Today, a much sterner test than Milwall, suggests he’s spot on, and that we can push on, game by game, with confidence and belief. Next two home games are winnable; but need to be won. Expect some tweaks to the starting line up on Tuesday.

When noting that Leeds brought on a £35M pound striker, as a sub, today - we’re doing all right!

.....and what does he know, eh?

Was Talking to a work colleague about Axel the other day, and are was saying he had been Talking to another work colleague who also works at the club, and it seems as if they feel Axel struggles to ope with more than a couple of games in a month. So, if this is the case he'll never make here despite he's undoubted class. His body just can't deal with the rigours of the professional game. Big shame.

Seems his inability to play many games is Axel's 'differential'' quality?

[mendipblue]

What was pleasing about yesterday's win was the all round commitment from the 16 individuals that played. A proper team/squad effort. It was great to watch.

Well why the heck did Kieran sign him he knows Axel's game from his days at Man U I'm a bit surprised that he would sign a duff player, he's done very well with new signings coming in, mind you saying all this Williams seems to be a bad signing

It’s called player loyalty. McCarthy was king at keeping his mates employed. Not making comparisons but you have to wonder.
