I get your point yep. In my opinion uni should serve two purposes - either to advance understanding of knowledge in all disciplines (in which case the Oxbridge/'elite' institution Classicists, Historians, etc have a reason to go), or to help get a job. Its probably widely acknowledged that with...

At risk of sounding like a huge snob, it seems nowadays that uni is only worth it for Medicine, Dentistry and for courses at Oxbridge and few other institutions like UCL, Imperial, Warwick etc. If we sent only to whatever percent of school leavers/mature students academically, we'd probably be...

Without condoning bad practices by individual GPs, much of the explanation for declining quality surely must lie with the near stagnation of Medical School places alongside an ever growing population. There's plenty of people who would be academically able enough to go into Medicine both at the...

This is the problem with the media. They seem to think that their right to publish supersedes the rights of the individual. These 'people' don't care about anyone. Even if she was 'playing the mental health game', I'd rather give people the benefit of the doubt than to risk putting people in a...

Yep, I agree with you there. I think they use the term 'because they are public figures' because it is a way to gloss over the actual reason why they are doing it - for clicks and money. No journalists or media person wants to admit that their job involves writing about other people 'for clicks...

The way I see it is: .Ashley Cain's family and friends have every right to grieve in whatever manner they wish to help them to cope with their awful loss. If that means taking to social media and getting condolences, then so be it. .However, media people tend to think they have the right to...

We finished on 55 points albeit in a slightly lower 18th place. That was the season before the catastrophe of 2011/12. Are people convinced that the structure of the club is better now than back then to consolidate in the Championship rather than to suffer from 'second season syndrome'? If I...

Just had a look on the loan players page of their website - 33 - bigger than their actual first team squad :oops: Madness With the money they offer these players to feature in their youth team/under 23s squads, there's plenty of players who as you say would get a look in elsewhere/England...

Sounds similar to Charlie Wakefield. Chelsea have a huge squad of players who are good at youth team level and an entire squad of loanees (they even employ Paulo Ferreira as their 'loan coordinator'), leaving players who were talented at youth level to not really progress in the adult game.

I was really impressed by Eccles, with the exception of one or two miscues of his. Good positional awareness and uses his body well to shepherd the ball. Years of experience playing at centre half and right back in the academy probably helped a lot with this. He has not got a bad cross on him...

Pask was definitely very impressive today and deserves to start next time round. In terms of whether he's the better player - we're probably not comparing like-for-like here as Hyam has started nearly every game this season whereas Pask is relatively fresh. It will be interesting to see who we...

Don't want to jinx things as we are only 50% of the way there yet. But in a roundabout way, the QPR thrashing was kind of beneficial in that it: .Gave credibility to the idea that we need two up top .Gave Eccles and Pask the chance to show their hunger. Granted, they are playing in slightly...

It will probably be Shipley with Sheaf, as Shipley is more of a naturally defensive player than Allen. Alternatively, Robins could consider doing what England did in the 2018 World Cup. With three centre backs and Henderson as the 'anchor', Sheaf could be our Henderson. We'd then player two...

One thing that has been overlooked is that we've shown tonight that we can play with 4 at the back and be reasonably solid. Granted, there were times in the first half where I thought our out-from-the-back style would cost us. Could be something to consider going forward. I still think we'll...

There is a North and South League - Coventry are in the North League. Each team in the South League plays each league in the North league once. By contrast, teams within each division play each other twice. So that's why there'll be imbalances between the number of games won if, for instance...

Was in the same age group as Ryan Haynes, Jack Finch and Lawton. If I remember rightly that age group was considered very strong and there were one or two attacking players considered more advanced then him. Dropped down to non league, was still playing at Ilkeston at 18 and then got a big break...

Certainly not, but I think that the 'main' formation will now be 5-3-2 given that the original 5-2-2-1 appeared to leave Godden isolated up top, which worked in League One but hasn't worked against higher quality opposite defences in the Championship.

Probably cynical of me to think as this lockdown appears to be in response to yesterday's data rather than an attempt to screw over people affected by potential redundancy, but part of me felt the same. I doubt that anyone made redundant already will be accepted onto the scheme, which is a real...

Thank goodness furlough has been extended, it will be a lifeline for hospitality. Seems like it will be too late for those who were made redundant recently.

What Biamou has shown tonight is that he can step up, as he has shown time again. Fitness permitting, I think eventually the formation will be 5-3-2 just as it was tonight and with Walker partnering Godden, but Max has shown that he deserves to start against Forest.
