First half was fairly even. I actually think we had the best chance of the opening period when Bodins shot forced a great save from the keeper and Taylor somehow put the rebound wide. He scores those 90% of the time. However, we were under the cosh in the second half until Bradford scored. I...

One of only two unbeaten sides in L1 and 3rd in the table suggests a trip to Bradford will be one of the toughest away days of the season. Not sure how we'll set up as DC always springs a surprise or two but I have a feeling we'll revert to a 3-5-2. Would like to see Clarke-Salter make his...

Not quite sure how we didn't win that. I guess it was due to poor finishing and superb goalkeeping but we battered Walsall in the second half and should have been able to get at least a couple of goals. Nearly twice as many shots, four times as many on target and 15 corners to 4 tell the story...

I'm still not sure what formation we played yesterday but it didn't really work and the game was far too open, particularly in the first half. Dale seemed like a big side and were able to play quite direct. Their front players normally won the header or held it up for the midfield who broke...

Ridiculous penalty decision robbed us on the day. We started slowly and Southend had most of the play for the first 20 minutes but after that I thought we were the better team. Always looked like 1 goal would win it and that would have been the case if not for the ref.

I've been to see us play at Southend many times and if my memory serves our record there is pretty poor. It certainly looks like it's going to be another tough match after Southends 3-0 win away at promotion favourites Sheff Utd. That will have surely done wonders for their confidence so...

Dominated the majority of the game and thoroughly deserved the win. Should have been 2 or 3 up at half time but somehow found ourselves pegged back at 1-1. We started the second half a little slow but once we brought Taylor off the bench on about 60 minutes we got back on top and should have...

Tough game this one as I expect Oxford to have a good season. They're another team that seem to perform better away from home and have already shown they plan to continue where they left off last season by winning at Birmingham. I think the extra 48 hours recovery time will be a factor...

Congrats to the Wombles. Better team on the day. Look forward to seeing you in L1 next season.

Congrats to Grimsby. Like most Rovers fans I was rooting for them after last years final. No reason why they shouldn't at least hold their own in League 1.

Great to be back. Looking forward to another exciting season 2016/17 but definitely need the next 3 months to recover from yesterdays drama.

Still can't believe it, I was sure we'd have to take our chances in the play off's. With the exception of our finishing the players were superb yesterday. Handled the occasion brilliantly and had more goal attempts than in any other game this season. Honestly didn't think the winner was coming...

I'd be more nervous about this if I thought there was any chance of Oxford or Stanley slipping up. Unfortunately I don't. Wycombe haven't won in 7 games and are 4th bottom of the current form table and Stanley have the 4th best home record in the league compared to Stevenage the 6th worst away...

Can't see Oxford or Stanley slipping up if I'm honest. Wycombe haven't won in 7 games and are 4th bottom of the current form table. Stanley have the 4th best home record in the league and Stevenage the 6th worst away. Accrington have picked up twice as many points at home than Stevenage have...

Hope I'm wrong but I can't see anything other than a home win here unfortunately. Wycombe haven't won in 7 games and are 4th bottom of the current form table. It would be quite a balls up for Oxford not to get the 3 points from this one. I just hope the pressure of potentially missing out on...

I felt we were comfortable in the first half and deserving of our lead at the break but the Exeter goal at the start of the second half changed the game. It gave them a lift and we became a bit jittery. Thankfully defenders threw themselves in front of everything and Mildenhall didn't actually...

Not at our best but a deserved win and at this stage of the season it's all about the points. To be honest we should have been 3 or 4 up at HT. Gaffney had a simple ball to give Taylor a tap in early on but hit the only defender, Taylor then missed a sitter when Bodin's shot was parried and I...

I don't think this will be an easy game. In fact looking at Yeovil's form in 2016 I'm expecting a very tough match. They've played 19, W8, D7, L4. That is play off form. They've also kept a remarkable 8 clean sheets in their last 10 games! That has to be the best defensive form of any side in...

All great players but for obvious reasons Taylor gets my vote. His goals to minutes played ratio is superb and he's on course for 30+ this season if he continues his current strike rate; especially if we're in the play off's. Also worth pointing out that only 1 of his 26 goals was a penalty...

If we don't get 3rd - and I don't think we will - I'd actually like to finish 5th. I'd rather play an out of sorts Plymouth who would feel the weight of expectation after slidding down the table than an attacking Wimbledon side that sneak into 7th. Pompey Rovers Plymouth Wimbledon
