    we’ve played the league’s worst two teams, and sneaked a lucky win against one and an emphatic loss against the other… the standard of teams we’ve played this season generally has been poor, and yet we’ve managed to be even poorer in the main and haven’t had a consistent 90 minutes I don’t...

    which underlying numbers? we’ve proved for instance this season so far XG means diddly shit at the minute, but even so I don’t think numbers can predict the future to be clear, I wasn’t in the Robins in or Robins out camp, but in answer to your question, no I don’t think he did as...

    there are two things relevant here - one is that Robins decided, against advice, to fall out with and get rid of at least 50% of the reason we were successful, and the messing around with the coaching / management / backroom staff appear to have had a detrimental effect on the team, and the...

    Portsmouth have been shit other than their free kicks and corners, and yet we’ve not taken advantage at all - and every time we’re anywhere near the box we’re offside and give them the ball back we looked good first ten or fifteen playing actual football but now we’re just panicking on the ball...

    I’m not sure why JDS didn’t get out to the ball earlier and stop the shot too - minor criticism seeing as it should’ve been saved, but still…

    Lampard’s 11 v Guardiola’s 11

    it wasn’t purely, or indeed principally the record that got him sacked - having said that his record from Wolves last season was far worse than that and we were on a very very poor run W5, D4 , L13…. 19 points from 22 games (basically half a season), that’s awful and throughout a season would...

    phew, glad you’re ok - tagged you because I was worried about you silly billy! 😂 So Sheaf is balls deep in your Mrs, and you’re secretly taking a pegging from Eccles? Eccles is a good player, but he’s behind others for a reason at the minute and Lampard is probably best placed to make that...

    100% agree with all of this - I think some people are clouded by how good they know Sheaf can be, but even playing below par he is still very important to the team, and even if all he does is shield, break up and pass he does it very well…

    @Earlsdon_Skyblue1 you ok hun? Given the amount of reactions to my posts I seem to have been living rent free in your head the last couple of weeks ever since you went all in on Sheaf for some bizarre reason, is he shagging your Mrs or something and not letting you join in?

    had it not been for the stupid goal conceded just before half time we’ve played these off the pitch and have kept them, in the main, to long shots and half chances In my opinion we are definitely tightening up at the back and looking more confident and fluid going forwards, just a case of...

    have to disagree, we’ve seen it before but not consistently and he’s always tried to play like he is today, just hasn’t come off like it has this afternoon like a few of our players he needed a run in the team, in his actual position, not chopping and changing and filling in week in week out

    I am going to incur the wrath of you amongst others now, but wouldn’t change Sheaf at the minute, he’s still shielding well even though he’s not creating much else, I think he is having an influence on the team I worry Eccles would also affect Torp’s performance, at this stage of the game anyway
