    Robins and the last 11 games... January cannot come quick enough.

    I've had a look back and split the season so far into the first 10 games and last 11 games. It's very fair to say the criticism MR has come in for lately is unfortunately warranted on the form book and hopefully he's delivered the rocket required after Saturdays fiasco and making realistic plans...

    Ryan Haynes for left mid

    Ryan Haynes could well be the man to solve one or two issues we currently have upon his return to full fitness but as a left winger not left back. I believe he can give us a nice attacking threat down the left wing, and chip in with the odd goal or 4 over a season. He's reasonably quick...

    3 league games since they worked together in the technical area and this has all the traits of Brian Clough and Peter Taylor years ago. Clough needed Taylor by his side to be successful. It looks like Robins needs Taylor by his side to bounce ideas off and take ideas from. In the 3 league...

    Liam O'Brien.... No 1

    Looks like we've found a all round keeper in Liam O'Brien. Early indications are that he's solid enough for league 2 with all the right attributes. Saturday he showed he's confident in coming to claim high balls taking it of players heads knowing when to catch or punch, commits to coming off...
