Oh no......

Don't worry it's not that "hilarious".

[shepardo01]

With Eccles doing pre-match - suggests he starts.
Got a horrible feeling he might "rest" Torp (he's been literally thrown straight in - Robins said he wasn't fit when he signed)
Same with Van Ewick - will pull an OHare and say he's fatigued.
Also got a feeling he'll magic Kelly into the starting 11 due to the above.
Expect to see Latibeaudiere at fullback/Eccles and Kelly in the middle based on Saddles teaser!

It's ok the posters on here will have learnt not to moan about the team sheet and continually doubt robins by now...

Some of that is right and some not so right

 

[skybluecam]

If Wright and Saka are starting I’m happy.

Yeah sure, if you're not interested in getting into the play-offs.

As for Torp, you're not going to get fit by not playing.

Ok...Torp "rested" is wrong.

Exactly, Torp is not fatigued, well not yet anyway.

He may well be fatigued, played lots of minutes in the last fortnight.

 

[cstring82]

This is my predicted team, hopefully see Sakamoto and Wright back in.

Young professional footballers can't play 4 games in 2 weeks, shock horror.

I mean it’s science innit

from the way they described O’Hares “fatigue” I’m guessing they’re using some kind of testing to determine it, not just Robin’s opinion.

Really, they’re monitoring the work they do? That’s amazing. I’d always assumed Robins guessed.

Not quite true though. He may be a due a rest tbf to protect him and give him time to recover to go on a run of games again

Not going to happen tomorrow though, no Sheaf, no Allan and O'HARE might not play.

We will see. He could go with Eccles and Kelly. You never know

 

[Matt smith]

MVE and Torp won’t start imo

lats and Kelly in

front four we all want to see is my prediction

 

[fernandopartridge]

Hilarious team again apparently

Was it a hilarious team the other night?

Biggest worry here is that means Godden starts.

Rose and/or McNally will know more than anyone that they are in for a quiet afternoon.

I like Godden, but he’s off form and not contributing enough.

 

[Hobo]

I think the coaching team have improved Binks however given MR currently seems to play Kitching consistently over Binks, you are either aware of a non footballing reason MR does this or know more about football than the manager who sees them in training nearly every day?

In fairness to Binks he hasn't had that run of games to really establish himself. It took Kitching about 3 games to start really looking good.

I think, as another poster said, Robins defaults to Thomas and Kitching because they have been doing well but also - they are our players. He wants to build a solid defence. But I think Binks given a run could prove to be as good as Kitching. I still think Kitching can be a bit sparky.

 

[pusbccfc]

McNally and Rose will be licking their lips at the prospect of playing Godden.

 

[Johhny Blue]

I think they wait until the day before and Robins says “ who’s tired” and sees how many hands go up

 

[shmmeee]

Hmmm hilarious eh?

Collins
Latibeaudiere Thomas Binks Dasilva
Kelly Eccles
Palmer O’Hare Wright
Godden

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

I took it as:

Carr
Chuckle 1 Mitchell Webb Chuckle 2
Morecambe Wise
Milligan Cleese Everett
Sessions

No wonder Stoke fans are calling us Clowns

Just been out for a curry just outside Stoke. Table of Stoke season ticket holders all ordering korma.

The real sign of a clown if you ask me

 

[Astute]

Didnt he miss a sitter away to Sheff U in the cup, can remeber him getting a lot of stick from fans. Scored against england too when they beat us in the world cup.

It was a lot of years ago now. All I remember wad his winning goal against Villa and that he was a hard fucker

 

[hamertime]

Yes it was, showing our age here. I can remember he had a header to score against sheff u in the 1/4 it skewed off and the bloke behind me shouting 50p head. They equalised at the death and beat us on pens still not over that….

 

[fernandopartridge]

Give it a rest with the Godden shite FFS. He got himself into two good positions to score the other night, that's half the battle. It was the same early season where he missed the chances at Leicester but then went on a run.

It's so tedious that there has to be some scapegoat, especially with a very honest player like him.

Doesn't sound good with the team news

 

[hamertime]

If Ohare don’t play it’s a joke. Might be why robins seems pissed off. We’ll see. What we saving him for, his next club?

He’s injured isn’t he?

He’ll simply be pissed off that despite having spent a huge amount we’re still struggling for squad depth in basically every position except centre back and left back.
