Pessimistic view on the team choice, but why is Robin's forcing da Silva and Wilson into the team!? Binks is fine and don't want to be harsh on him, but it's clear to me at least that Thomas+Kitchen are our best two together, also what has Colin's done wrong and Wilson so right?
I was hoping Bidwell and Kitchen both started tonight, this away fixture for us is as tough as it gets (excluding Preston!) as we always struggle Vs them.

If Bidwell and Kitchen have been ill, and aren't back to 100%, and we've got 2 players in their position that are fine, it's a no brainer. Why are people questioning it?
It's almost like Robins might have a bit more information on which to base team selection than we do.
Our strongest side, I think is top 6
But, we are missing Saka and Sheaf, our centre half from our excellent run (Kitching), our goalkeeper from our excellent run (Collins) and have been forced into changing formation and playing a midfielder in the back three (against a top Championship side) and a weaker left sided defender due to the change in formation.
So you could say we are missing 5!
Was feeling ok for this but Sky just showed Wilson's attempt at a save for their first goal at the cbs
It happens every time. Massive meltdown about why someone isn’t in the team. Post match robins says they’re ill or carrying a niggle and that’s that.
So you decided to come back on here?
I think some of the criticism is silly as all players will make a bad mistake at some point. However, I think this one’s valid. He’s a bit too comfortable on the ball sometimes so can slow things down for us and Bidwell certainly more athletic.
The criticism of Dasilva after the Preston mistake has been harsh. He's one of the most composed players we have on the ball, and helps us play out out from dangerous areas, considering we want more possession these days, he does it well, but it goes wrong once and he gets way too much shit for it. Players make mistakes, it's part of the game
Because there is a big difference from being able to get through 90 minutes and being able to get through 30 minutes. There is also the psychology of keeping the bench strong and keeping the opposition guessing to how fit they are? It is not uncommon for teams to have players on the bench who aren't fully fit. Even players in the team can be carrying knocks.
It’s completely arbitrary. Torp gives the ball away like Sheaf does (cos he plays a similar role) and nothing gets said. Sheaf does it and it’s proof he’s crap and needs dropping. Kitching fucks up and it’s forgotten, etc etc. O’Hare has been rubbish for weeks and no one’s mentioned it.
That was Robert Earnshaw for those that aren't watching.Sky commentators has just said we won’t win today and we’re out of the play off race.

*one* of the Sky commentators said this.
one didn’t say anything and Clinton Morrison said we’d win (although he did basically point out he has to say that!)
