Robins says every team we face is a good side tbf.

Yeah they all do. SE said the exact same thing about us yesterday. We learn nothing from these. Do questions get asked about injury doubts etc. but just don't get answered?

Sounds also like he is hinting that he won't make any enforced changes tomorrow.

I get the impression he doesnt want to give too much away in the way of the team.

He did mention Jones but none of the others (not reported officially yet anyway)

McFaz was a little coy when asked about Allen's return last night and then eventually said approx. a week. I'm wondering if there is a more serious issue and that's the party line as he's been 'about a week' for at least 4 weeks now.

Seems that way, hasn't even had a run-out in the u-23s

Could just be setbacks?

I wouldn't expect Allen to go straight into the first team anyway, he'll have at least one u23 game. I said before I highly doubt he'll be seen before September.

The biggest concern for me tomorrow is the lack of a recognised right-back.

Interesting that the first comment was about Jodi Jones! A player most of us accept we probably won't see until January. Great to hear he is progressing well though.

Again these are just snippets from his full interview so a little bit out of context. In the full video Robins said Pask needed an operation after something innocuous on the training field but didn't specify what, just that he's out for 12 weeks. He also says Jodi Jones is end stage rehab so the comment on him being not too far away is in that context, not that he's gonna be back in the team soon.

Well that's some relief then that it's not a serious injury, ice pack suggests bruising, he may still play?
Robins did comment on it after Eakin asked him about Jobello limping - he said that when players play as often as they are, they're going to pick up bruises and bumps. He played it down, actually made him sound like a bit of a pussy the way he described it, and then said they've had a couple of recovery days since the match. Sounded like he'll play.
