Well, I'm glad we won. But we made it very hard for ourselves after those substitutions, not sure what Butler was doing changing so much at once. Not like we need to save players for other important games coming up.With Peterborough up, next weekend's game can solely be a focus on Coppinger now.
Derby one up at Swansea.Derby just need a point to relegate Wednesday.
Okenabirhie just does not have it, that was an easy chance for a striker.
Interesting last 10 coming up. Gutted for Louis. Deserved a clean sheet.

The way we played today and the 4-4-2 system we could score a lot of goals with the players we currently have. What we need is 2 top class central midfielders, proper MISTERS. Players who can defend, pass the ball short and long and have the legs to get penalty box to penalty box. Thinking about it Stock and Wellens ( 12 years ago ) would do very nicely. Paul Green in his prime would be good. No good dreaming about the past but we do need to find those central midfielders for next season and play Fej up front with a quick player like JJ TJ playing in a wide role today suited him because he had the freedom to roam and express himself. It is no good asking him to defend in front of the central defenders because his abilities do not stretch to being able to do it without giving away free kicks in very dangerous areas and he then becomes a liability.Play players so they can express their strengths not expose them to their weaknesses. Round pegs in round holes comes to mind.I hope we can get a manager that does this and would love him to be able to get TJ and JJ back to the Keepmoat next season. I also like Smith and a fully fit Sims but is Smith that strong midfielder we need.I think we need at least 1 seasoned pro in there. Smith though does have huge potential and can only get better. It is a real shame we could not keep Whiteman as i do think we had a very good team with him in it. I hope the spirit shown in the last 2 games will now help to persuade those who have been offered contracts to sign them.Even with the capitulation we have seen i do think we have the nucleus of a top 6 at least squad and need just a few quality additions to achieve our goal of championship football again.
Sorry hound have been doing it all day. On my texts that I have been sending also. It must be that I will be a senior citizen on 17th May 66yrs young and get my State pension. Senior moments getting all too frequent. As long as we all know who i mean.
