Agree., I feel the last few games we have set out to stay in games. Against Derby I’d like to see us go for it.
Their goal difference as well as their league position tells you they really are the worst team in the division right now. Their obsession with giving Rooney the manager’s job (over several more qualified colleagues) is a disaster waiting to happen.
We would go 16 points to their 7 with a win .....with a better goal difference
Tbh, looking at our next 4 games, we must be going for 10 points minimum.
Derby - W
Rotherham - W
Luton - D
Wycombe - W

We have cut out giving away silly goals but now need to be more potent up front, think we’re a bit shot shy.
Honestly, I looked at the line up tonight and though huh. But I’m not one of those that automatically has a meltdown on here if I don’t agree with what Robins has done. I’ll give it a chance. If it doesn’t work, fair enough. If it does, fair enough.
Tonight, it worked. Not only that, those players considered our starting 11 now have fresher legs AND are thinking there’s players pushing them. Derby IS crucial and, thanks to the manager, we’re probably in a better position to get something from the game.

We seem to be in a habit of getting close to the opposition box, then paying it all the way back to our CB's.
Great for possession stats, shite for goals for stats.
Pretty chilled at the moment about this. Let the lads enjoy their well earned point today.
I think whatever we set up against Derby we can beat them. We have a bit of belief now and it all started with that point against Birmingham. The fact we had an understudy in goal today and only conceded one in 3 games (which was dodgy) is great progress.
For the first time in weeks the tampons are staying well and truly in the bathroom cupboard.

We really need to notch up our first away win of the season against Derby or Wycombe, to be honest. I'm confident we can win both, hopefully.
The way Giles played today he eother keeps wing backs and McCallum drops out again or we play the flat 4 and Giles off the wings again.
I'm 100% certain we will beat Derby. If we don't then I will eat a choc ice in December.
Think it was similar last season wasn't it? Remember a few moaning that we hadn't won away until December although we had picked up some decent points away including the great comeback at Pompey. Granted we've picked up less on our travels so far this season as well though.
Equally, we had only lost twice away from home before we beat Wycombe, and a lot of our away games were against the top half too. Our 'home' form has been mid table so far. If we can keep this up, and improve the away form, we could find ourselves around 16th-13th with a bit of breathing space going into the new year.
A good point picked up today, and our away schedule has 3 winnable games in a row; Derby, Wycombe and Sheffield Wednesday.
If dabo is fit a back 4 for me I don’t like the defense in back 3 this year
I think so too, I think MR sees Giles more of an attacking midfielder than full back, McCallum will come in I’m sure he’s a solid defender.
Assuming no Godden:
Wilson
Østigård McFadz Hyam
Dabo Kelly Sheaf Giles
Hamer O’Hare
Walker

No McCallum and sticking with the 3 CB’s ? Can’t see it myself on this one think it’s a flat 4 again
I think he’ll go to a flat back 4 and McCallum will come back in. I hope he plays 2 strikers also. Doubt Godden will be ready so walker and Max.
I dont know how you can drop Giles after today, and for me he has to play left side.
