- Start date
A couple of people said the players are letting MR and co. down. Solid evidence for that position here! Take some chances, sorted. Don't... problems.
Yeah but Eccles is the problem apparently!
First you wanted to drop Godden when he was the league's top goalscorer for two strikers who were not scoring.
Now you want to drop Eccles but keep Sheaf in who was dreadful on Monday. OK.
Well perhaps but if you sign a £7.7 million version of Roy O Donovan who gets the blame?
Any news on when Liam Kelly will get back? Could do with another of our senior pros back on the pitch.
Need some help people. My mate has lost our tickets for the Preston game. Can we pick up replacements at the Preston ticket office on Saturday. Any advice much appreciated 
Email the club telling them that your tickets got lost in the post and they’ll send replacements to the pne ticket office for you i’m sureNeed some help people.

As mental as this sounds, I always take this as reassuring. It tends to be the top scorers in the league that lead these lists & shows they're getting into good positions & that sooner or later they will start taking them.
It will be interesting to see if we can get the best out of Haji Wright when Callum O'Hare is back and hopefully providing him with some better service.
Things must be bad. Yes, he had a decent cameo at the end of last season but we really shouldn’t have re-signed him and looked elsewhere and actually brought in new midfielders.
What part of Wright's performance makes you think he's worth another go?
Was it his shite contribution, his lack of fight, his inability to control a football or his woeful finishing?
Will probably start Wright, Sakamoto and Allen again as the attacking line up. The problem being there's not many goals there (Allen hasn't scored for over a year and Sakamoto for 2 1/2 years).
Guess COH will get the second half...
Here's hoping.

Yet ironically, most of us on here were desperate for them to come back from injury. Although we are on a downer at the moment, it is a good time to play Preston. First goal likely to be key again. I will head north with my usual blind optimism!
Allen should play AM. But I wouldn’t play him DM for the same reason I would t put O’Hare there.
Was thinking of this - I think C O'H's main attribute is causing chaos amongst opposition defences though his pressing and running at people, with the rest of the team benefitting from the chaos created. First touch and passing (even when he's fit) - are not his main attributes, and until he gets fully match fit, he is likely to frustrate fans with his lack of ball retention. That said we need him to break the lines of opposition defences, rather the current passive ball retention, without someone able to pick the killer pass. Need a bit of the rub of the green/in off the backside moments. P.S. I can't stand Ched Evans, and hope he starts on the bench.
Not at all confident again for this one. I'd like to see Bidwell back in to add some stability in the defence. Hopefully Josh will be taken of set pieces - tell him to stop shooting from silly places too, never looks like he's going to score a worldie but he certainly believes he can. Persevere with Wright up top, he'll come good.
Regarding Eccles and set pieces. This is a very common talking point on here, on CWR commentary etc. Surely Robins and Eccles are both aware of this noise. This cant help Josh and surely Robins should also look to protect a young player too?

I'd go
Wilson
Lati Kitching Binks
MvE Sheaf Eccles Bidwell
Sakamoto Allen
Simms
Collins, Fadz, Thomas, Dasilva, O'Hare, Wright, Godden
Not that it matters who plays, we'll lose 4-0. Probably get a red card too. I'll go Kitching.

1-0 to us. Deflected in from an Eccles floaty corner, (via hitting Tatsu in the face) by the gangly, mistimed flail of Haji Wright.
In the 94th minute.
Vik will see the highlights in Lisbon, and sagely tap his watch, in respect.
You heard it here first. ⚽️

Granted it's somewhat relative. I don't remember his control being that bad, especially after watching every ball bounce 10 yards off Simms v Rotherham. He should obviously have finished that 1v1 but overall he made decent runs and got into good positions, and it's not like either of the other 2 are banging the door down to start as a lone striker.
Not a hill I'm going to die on but I'm happy for him to start Saturday.
