    Robins feeling the pressure?

    Look at the stability at both Luton and Accrington tho and how competitive they have been for the last few seasons. Promotion came too soon in my eyes to sustain any serious momentum in L1. Recruitment could of been better this year but it’s easy to look back than look forward and say this...

    Chaplin question?

    If I was Hiwula I’d want to be off too, kids a striker and he’s not had a chance to be one. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Chaplin question?

    Hindsight is a wonderful thing, tho I doubt Ponticelli would of done much different with all the same opportunities as Chaplin’s had. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    That’s my issue, one is capable of stepping up the other is likely never gonna make the step up tho. One gets a free ride the other gets hammered. Both equally poor over a period of games tho one is lacking application to do more. A classic case of Ben Stevenson syndrome, I’d not be surprised...

    Had a classic Sunday league manager narrating the game behind me yesterday, to quote him he suggested Thomas needed to put on 4 stone. Now if he did that he’d be a different player entirely with no pace Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Yesterday is a typical game where many dig out the usual suspects and highlight them as issues, many many issues yesterday but application and desire was the biggest part missing and others not turning up above any other fault. It was a classic cold wet windy night at stoke analogy, or...

    Otis this is the very thing with Bayliss that makes his performances go under the radar. We all like him as he’s a talent with a future in the game but his performance yesterday was no better than Shipley yet we try and reason with what he did or didn’t do right as he’s the blue eyed boy in the...

    Robins feeling the pressure?

    Is he feeling the pressure, without a doubt I’m sure he is. Stats say we’re 8 games without a win in all competitions, 2pts from 18 in the last 6 league games it’s not great reading but we were hardly the model of consistency in the 5 games unbeaten run which raised expectations beyond reality...

    Totally agree, too much was taken from that five game unbeaten run. We was far from superior in that run. We’re in a bad spell but just a piece or two of the puzzle is missing to creating the perfect blend. Hopefully January we can find at least one piece. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Chaplin question?

    Said numerous times play him off a natural target man and you’ll see a much improved player. We need a few additions to the starting side to bring the best out of him, it’s a building process that few managers are given time to do that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Sky blue specs were on. Luton and Accrington were better sides consistently over 46 games. I’d argue Lincoln were a good value too. League one isn’t as easy or forgiving as L2 either and we’ve players not handling the step up Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Unsettling News

    Confidence or lack of on players is draining away rapidly, key summer signings yet to hit form from previous injuries added with a change in system which puts square pegs in round holes gives you a better indication to what’s so wrong and was still evident in our lucky run. Sent from my...

    He’s been anonymous and wasteful for large parts of the season but for a few good runs and phases in games. Many thought Doyle was holding him back in his play but yesterday he had the freedom to roam and get involved if he wanted too with Kelly sitting in. A talent yes but he’s not taken to...

    Allasani could be a secret weapon as the season goes on if we can get a system to fit him. A impact sub could be a good introductory role Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    2 early goals will settle the nerves a fraction. Usually early half chances fall for Hiwula before he fades out of games. Set pieces could be where its won today hopefully a big game for Tom Davies to open his account Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Hopefully we play 442 with Hiwula up alongside or slightly deeper behind JCH in a 4411. I fear it’s a 451 tho I might still work with Shipley offering the cover for Hiwula, saying that it could be a 4141 with Kelly sitting deeper and Shipley and Bayliss being a advanced central pair. All of...
