We certainly made hard work of it yet again. As I said the team is unsettled, with Injuries and new players getting used to the system.

We need Santos back. It's a pity the Thomason hasn't yet digested the idea that making fouls every game will sooner or later see him suspended.

Another home game is on Saturday. Hopefully, we win and those around us drop points. We wait in anticipation.

The amount of laughter at the EFL, indicates IE has set himself up for a stiff sentence.

A fine and a ban must be coming up. He isn't going to beat the system when the other officials were present. Which of them will contradict the ref? It wouldn't go down well, would it?

Wigan away sold out this morning . 4100. Not in a position to go so didn't attempt to get one.

Looks like Charles is out 2/3 weeks.

Honest, I'm not smiling like a Cheshire cat now IE is forced to name a team without Dion.

Charles needed to be rested but now he has an enforced rest. Let's hope that when he comes back he is in the mood for business.

Charlton at home tomorrow, another win is required to keep us in the top three, then we need to win our games in hand.

We have a tough couple of months before the end of the season playing some of the top teams. However, if we are going to get promoted we need to be beating the best teams in the division.

Charlton have gone from the gung-ho too much attacking team we tend to tear apart to appointing a manager who won't do that sort of thing.

Will be interesting to see what they do.
