    Is Wycombe a one-off or the new normal?

    Well rinse and repeat! Thought we were good again, though Tranmere caused us more problems. Again movement of Godden was exceptional, and central midfield pair of Kelly and Walsh great, still think probably best in the league. Back three comfortable and combative, but thought Tranmere caused...

    Is Wycombe a one-off or the new normal?

    Such an enjoyable game, with the fourth goal a thing of beauty live – don’t think the footage does it justice. I am not convinced we will play consistently that well for the second half of the season, but reflecting afterwards, several hopeful points struck me: 1. Movement of Godden was...

    Thought our full backs were good - 7/8 Thought Walsh and Kelly were solid and kept us moving - 7/8 Having a manager that not only changed the game when needed, but speaks sensibly, by paying compliments to one of the best sides we have played this season and highlighting the frustration of not...

    Match Thread Coventry City vs. Tranmere Rovers Match Thread - Sunday 13th Oct

    Chances created, simply didn't finish. Wakefield who should be coming into replace Jobello also injured, so have O'Hare who rarely got in front of goal - he's a 10 or midfield. Rarely will we see a stonewall penalty, Godden on his own in centre of goal putting it over and none of 4 other decent...

    Big change this year is our ability to defend set-pieces. Centre backs and Marosi very solid, 7 each. O'Hare carries us forward at pace or drifts into holes - excellent cameo's each week, 7 as well. Think people are being harsh on Jobello and Hiwula, asked to work hard tucking back in that...

    Ratings versus Oxford

    I agree we played poorly, much of that down to Oxford, but saying Hiwula wasn't supporting McCallum is not true. In 4-3-3 he covers the right back and centre half. Yesterday he dropped deeper than normal to cut out the pass down the channel or track any overlap, which affected his attacking...

    Burge, Willis and Davies

    And so it begins. Clubs, players and their representatives will be quite clear where each stands on contracts - "he wants to play more; he wants a salary increase; you need to improve x to make the first team" etc.. MR may not know exact details but knows what's going on. We are being prepared...

    Some biased stuff on here. Hiwula, poor game, missed a sitter - previous games massive contribution. Davies bullied all game, poor for the goal and gifted them 1st half chance they wasted - previous games massive contribution. Hiwula slated, Davies barely any comment. Doyle and Ogogo as Robins...

    Evolving team

    Two weeks later, the evolution of attacking intent from midfield is clear, following the big shift of attacking intent from full-back. Hiwula played last five - Exciting the way he runs at people, scored 4 in those 5, making an attacking front four with Thomas on the right. Bluntly expected a...

    Evolving team

    Seems a general sense of progress, but like Colin SS, think Robins only played Hiwula because it was Wycombe. Not sure Robins will pick two players attacking from out wide too often with a Doyle and Bayliss central midfield. Think how Robins further evolves the midfield is key for our season...

    Evolving team

    Thought yesterday showed more clearly how Robins is trying to evolve the team to be less conservative: Carrying the ball back to front quicker - Brought in new full-backs and Burge looking to find them quickly. Burge had a go at Stirling first half for not looking to take the ball; second half...
