I think a Blade above has it pretty much spot on. Utd edged a fairly even first half with chances at a premium. Second half they started stronger until we made a double sub on 60 mins and after that we were the better team and should have really gone on to win. Gaffney has got to be scoring...

Sheffsteel has posted some very impressive stats above which show why the Blades are 5 points clear at the top of L1. They should clearly be playing a a higher level and I'm pretty sure this season they'll go up as Champions. We do have a good home record but not great against the top sides. I...

Bradford are a very good side and stand a good chance of promotion via the play off's in my opinion. Not many teams have come to the Mem and had more play and goal attempts than us but Bradford bossed possession and put us under pressure for long spells in the second half. I think we probably...

Should be a good game which could go either way but will probably end in a draw. Nobody has lost fewer games than Bradford in L1 and they also have the 2nd best defensive record with just 26 goals conceded. They're no doubt hoping their 5 or 6 new signings in January will help them push on and...

Should have been 4 up at half time. The Swindon goal certainly led a charmed life. Bodin and Harrison both had chances they'd score 9/10 and Sweeney had a goal bound header cleared off the line. Swindons keeper kept them in the match. Hit the bar in the second half but failed to get the second...

Swindons loss to Peterborough last week was their first reverse in their last 4 matches and they won their previous away game at high flying Bolton. One of only 2 sides to manage that all season. They've clearly improved with the help of 5 or 6 new arrivals in January and I imagine will put up...

Having been in L2 last season I can safely say there is a step up in class in L1. You only have to look at our goals against column to see that. Last season in L2 we conceded 46 goals in 46 games, this season in L1 we've conceded 50 goals in 28 games. Teams are far more clinical at this level...

Game over after 24 minutes. Can't remember the last time we were 4-0 up so quickly. Should have been given a definite penalty soon after as well when O'Toole handled. As others have said we were in complete cruise control from that point on and subbed 3 important players to give them a rest...

First half fairly even but we should have had 3 or 4 in the second half. Taylor had a shot saved by the keepers legs shortly before the first goal and he should have completed his hatrick with a free header from 6 yards out. Bodin also had a glorious chance which the keeper again brilliantly...

Not sure about that. We weren't great against Rochdale, Walsall or MK Dons and if you include cup games we were poor against Yeovil and Barrow. We drew or lost those games and I couldn't say we deserved to win any of them. I'm not complaining, our home form has been very good overall but I don't...

This should be a good game and I think it could go either way. Both sides could make a case for why they're favourites going into this. As Gassy says above we'd only won 1 match in 10 over 90 minutes prior to Boxing Day. Hammerings against Millwall and Charlton were followed by defeats to non...

DC got the formation and team selection spot on this week and it made all the difference. Lets be honest, we should have scored 6 or 7. Bodin and Taylor both missed an absolute sitter but their overall play was excellent and it was great to see Billy back to his best. The entire team responded...

We've only won 1 match in our last 10 if you discount extra time and that includes hammerings against Millwall & Charlton as well as losses to non league Barrow at home, L2 Portsmouth and L1 strugglers Shrewsbury and Chesterfield. In fact the Shrews and the Spirietes were bottom when we played...

I thought our defence was shaky but Bury's back 4 are even worse. I know they have a lot of injuries but oh dear. I cannot see them getting any points if they carry on defending like that. We should have been 2 up early on when both Taylor an Gaffney went through on goal with just the keeper to...

We can't quite match your run but we're in awful form too. We're 8 games without a win if you discount extra time in the cup. The only games we didn't lose were draws against MK Dons and struggling L2 Crawley. Those 5 defeats include 4-0 at Millwall, 5-1 at home to Charlton and most recently 2-1...

If you fancy backing an underdog I'd seriously consider putting a few quid on Barrow to beat Rovers. Barrow are currently on a 22 match unbeaten run which stretches back to the middle of August! They score lots of goals and concede very few. They're in superb form and go into this one very...

Not lucky but it is a game we should have won based on the balance of play. 59% Possession, 17 shots to Chesterfields 6 and 7 corners to Chesterfields 1. We're losing games due to rank bad defending and poor finishing. Teams are having very few attacks against us but scoring 3 or 4 goals. We...

I think Chesterfield are probably playing us at the right time because we're definitely going through our worst spell of the season so far. Got smashed 4-0 at Millwall in our last away game and hammered 5-1 against Charlton in our last home game. All of a sudden were shipping goals left right...

We actually had more possession, more shots and more corners but managed to lose 5-1. To be honest I thought we did okay in the first half. We had plenty of attacking play and could easily have scored a couple of goals. I'm not sure the half time changes were necessary, they certainly didn't...

Given the disontent amongst the fans and media coverage you'd think Charlton were having a bad season and that's not really the case. Win their game in hand and they're just 1 point off the play off's. They've probably drawn too many games, particularly away from home. They've actually only...
