    Strikers Who Came Good

    I don’t think Simms is getting on the end of that 3rd goal at the start of the season or even yesterday if he hadn’t already scored. A little bit fitness, a little bit lacking confidence. Did great to be in the position he was and finish on his left foot. He should really kick on now.

    Strikers Who Came Good

    Nothing beats a square peg in a round hole like Micky Adams playing James Scowcroft at right midfield and then aiming every goal kick at him.

    Gareth Ainsworth must absolutely hate us. We should send him 15,000 christmas cards with some Robins on it.

    That was a great move. Nice progressive pass from Eccles, superb run and cross from Allen, great finish from Simms.

    So glad that went in, exactly the type of goal he needed. Hit it well but had the whole goal to aim at and it went straight through the keeper's legs. He's looked good today with his running in the channels and hold up play, was just missing the goals from his earlier chances.

    Luis Binks looks like he should have been a member of Westlife (or any other floppy haired 90s boyband)

    Not playing badly but we are extremely deep, midfield is having to cover a huge gap and when they do get the ball from the defence the strikers are miles away. That means they are either keeping possession (backwards) or playing a lot of hopeful balls over the top due to the distance a...

    5 At The Back Needs To Go

    Who is your 3 in midfield in a 4-3-3? My own opinion is that a 4-3-3 is incredibly hard on the midfield and they have to be very mobile and aware to make it work. Have we got those players?

    I'm not even convinced by Sakamoto yet. Yes, he's got a low centre of gravity and he's tricky but he slows the game down so much while he waits for the defender to catch him up, just so he can skin him again, that Cardiff had reorganised and had a box full of players every time he crossed the ball.

    Given the price we paid, his body shape and similiarity in looks, I reckon he's going to get a lot of Harry Maguire comparisons.

    Only positive out of tonight is that Rob Guerney hasn't asked Martin Winch for his usual 'summary'.

    Was thinking that challenge on Binks was 'Orange' given the lack of control in the slide. Not even yellow!

    Your Thoughts On 5 At The Back

    I could see a 4-2-3-1 working. MVE has shown enough to suggest he can defend well enough to play in a back 4. Da Silva has played well but not produced enough so I’d have no issues playing Bidwell. The fullbacks can still get forward in that formation. Kelly spent most of the league 2 season...

    Players who always play well against us

    Shearer 17, Rush and Cottee 14, Yorke 12 and Cole 10 are the record scorers against us I think. Remembering reading a Jim Brown article on it. Seem to remember Sheringham and Mick Harford had both scored against us for 5 different clubs too.
