Win this we’ve had a good Christmas. Lose or draw and it’ll have been a poor one imo

A win means a great Christmas.  A defeat (1 point in 2 home games) is unacceptable for any team.  A draw and the jury is out, at half time v Shrewsbury a draw looked a bad result, but it became a good battling point with plenty positives.  It all depends how the match goes, Wimbledon at home, nobody wanted a draw before the game, but when you score in the 95th minute you're buzzing.  I just want a positive feeling after the game whether its a point or 3 because its a long time till the next one.

Iles piece suggests Graham is going to be asked to replace Lowe

Fair enough in the absence of owt better

Some very well timed words of support for the 17 year old asking for no negativity from the stands

I'm just wondering how he squares that with his public criticism of certain players

In my naivity I'd expect an esteemed journalist to perhaps query the double standards

Fair comments.

For me, Keith seems a decent bloke, but not sure he's the brightest at times.

However, so long as the job gets done, then that's fair enough.

It's asking a lot for Graham to do such a big job tomorrow though.

If the 11 players picked put as best a shift in as as they can - we can ask no more

the second half against Shrewsbury wasn’t great - but my god they put their bodies on the line and worked their socks off.  You can’t ask for more than that

That’s something they have improved on looked like they were playing for the manager dug deep

Is playing a 17 year old who doesn't appear ready, above more senior, arguably better (for the moment) players something that's going to keep up good morale, and benefit the young lad in the long run?

Hope I'm not reading too much into it all.

I wouldn’t play Graham, Weir for me, but you have to respect the manager decision,  he works with the players every day and he see things that we don’t.

Of course. He makes the decisions, and ultimately will be judged on the success of them.

I suppose my main concern is what it could do for Graham's confidence and career. He could have nearly 20 years ahead of him if he comes good. Just hope he's looked after early doors.
