Well happy with results tonight. If we can beat Wendies and Reading lose, will take us into fourth, big confidence boost at this stage

Agree BIGE, other results don't matter we just need to make our statement to Wednesday and the rest of the top 6 before they all kick off on Saturday that we are here for the fight.

Be even better if the Bristol City can beat Fulham tonight and get rid of one of their games in hand. Although its all about what we do kind results will be welcome. MOT

Positive; the wendies are losing by two to Brentford. Negative; bouncebackability in the next game?

The wendies were guaranteed promotion the other day according to some. Just goes to show you anything can happen in this league.

Couldn't have asked for better results tonight. Derby also losing ground, Reading and Wendies losing.

Means a draw on Saturday not a disaster, a win would be immense

Huddersfield v Reading tonight. At least one of them is going to drop points and it couldn't have come at a better time for us. Puts them both level on games with us as we don't play, so preferably a draw would suit us best.

Just means a win would be all the more sweet on Saturday. Who's going to the game? Also news coming from thorp arch that charlie Taylor has his boots on and is joining in with training, fingers crossed he's back for Saturday, if not then I'd think he'll be starting against Birmingham.

You've got to feel sorry for Berardi, he's been called upon unexpectedly to play, has gone through a tough run of games with the team, and for me shown his best form since joining, I've been pleased with him, and I hope he's pleased with himself, but we need every possible asset and charlie is a far better player for that left side so he will surely drop straight back into the team when fit.

The dogbotherers will still have a game in hand after tonight, so thinking a draw would be best

Good news re Taylor, but maybe Monk is considering playing Taylor further forward maybe as a left winger? He loves to get forward and can deliver a good ball all day long. Berardi looks comfortable at LB so could be an option. Could it? MM

Think Taylor at left back and Pedraza left wing would be dangerous, roofe on the right and hernandez down the middle.

Agree1 Disagree0

Reading have Brighton on Saturday as well, so should be more dropped points. Actually hoping they win both matches as they're not as strong as others.

Agree0 Disagree0

Would play two wingers with Roofe and Pablo and One DM either Brid or Okane. Take the game to them and when two nil up bring on DM for Roofe.

ok am I missing something here. Baraidi is playing out of position so fair play, and is right footed playing on left fair play and does put a shift in again fair play and is far from awful. but people are praising him? he is decent at best and by far weaker than bartley pontus taylor and aling is he not?

he is still the weak point in the team and the focus of others attacks due to being the weak link, he also loves a bit of a mistake for a goal. Now am I being harsh as i think he is a 6 out of ten, but playing in the wrong place, so 5 out of ten at best. have i got a bee in my bonnet for no reason and do i need to send him a moon pig card and apologise?

Agree0 Disagree5

21 Feb 2017 13:49:41
I agree with you BW - not good enough and wouldn't be my first choice ahead of any of the rest of the back line. I like Berardi and think he puts a shift in and doesn't seem to complain but we need better if we are to move on up. There are too many areas where we are just not good enough at the moment and left back is one such spot.

Agree0 Disagree1

21 Feb 2017 15:11:48
I think Berardi is a good player, can't understand the negativity. Each to their own opinion though. MM

Agree2 Disagree0

21 Feb 2017 16:53:45
Agree MM. Send him the moonpig BW !

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Feb 2017 17:33:23
Berardi as good a right back as there is in this division and adequate at left back. Ayling a bit classier but we could have done with his aggression in some of the matches we have had.

Agree1 Disagree0

21 Feb 2017 18:01:58
fair enough to be honest i am kind of on the fence with baridi and of course don't see as many games as you lot so happy to take your view and moon pig card is in the post to him even wrote it in itialian.

on other point in thread i trust monk but in my opinion we need to be bit more agrrsive and positive now two dm's is too much when with dallas. i'd like to see roofe ped and pablo play behind wood with sacko and barrow waiting to come on and cause havock in final 25 minutes. like dallas but we need more now at business end of season

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Feb 2017 18:09:31
Just a slight problem BW. He's not Italian !

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Feb 2017 18:21:55
I'd like to see roofe stay up just behind Wood with two wide players supporting poss Alf and Sacko, Douke or Dallas with mo coming on for the most ineffective player. Pablo playing just begin the front two and brid or okane the dm. Beradi is a good solid old fashioned full back, solid defensively not the best flying down the wing, getting to the by line and swinging in a cross.

Agree1 Disagree0

21 Feb 2017 18:33:49
Swiss, i knew that but thought i would send it in Italian to show how a sorry a I a am.

21 Feb 2017 18:52:21
Lol at BW . At least your Google is working 😀

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Feb 2017 20:43:09
Berardi can only do the job that is asked of him. He's been asked as a right footer to play LB, and defensively been ok. A couple of mistakes, yes, but he's been pretty bloody good for being played out of position like that. And I'm sure he has the heart that we've shouted out for all over the field for the past 10 years or so?

Agree1 Disagree0

21 Feb 2017 20:44:18
Got to be Taylor at left back with the foz ahead of him, that Spanish link up play with Hernandez, were the new Real Madrid!

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Feb 2017 22:07:19
I know and he does always seem to give 100% and I should know I am a massive football manager fan and even worked as them, first thing i do is sell murphy and Gaetano Berardi so I forgot that beridi is swiss and murphy is jamacan.

Agree0 Disagree0

21 Feb 2017 23:05:58
Yep. Beradi is good. Been in our top three players for last couple years i reckon and with taylor was only one putting a shift in when we were being walloped week in week out. i'm not a great fan of bartley tbh. Makes a lot of mistakes and is a bit of a wuss.

Still liking hudds to go auto. Them and newcastle have been best I've seen this year. don't think top 6 will change. Its a matter of what order we finish in. don't think we have anything to fear against wendies. Attack attack attack. More movement up front and no silly side or backward passes.

Agree0 Disagree0

22 Feb 2017 23:29:56
agree i can't see us wining playoffs as too many teams are better than us but fair enough i didn't even think we would make them before season started. Hudds look great as much as i hate to say it and brigthon wobble so guess that would be our best bet
