Dear oh dear. You’ve jumped that shark again.

Great result and a much improved performance. This place will be a lot quieter this week. Although looking forward to how this will be spun into a negative - ‘papering over the cracks’ I imagine will be one of many generic phrases thrown around.

Decent half and an improvement from recent games. Credit to MR thus far in changing formation and style - we’re more direct today. Just hope he doesn’t now revert to a default defensive mode, we’re so much worse when we do that. It also helps that players we’d expect to set up and play well...

Completely didn’t register there was a game today and I’m stuck at the in laws for Easter Monday lunch. Sneakily watching on my phone it is! Happy enough with the team, although I’d still like to see Pask in his favoured position. Pleased to see Eccles in there. Everyone wanted to see Godden...

Shit performance and shit result. MR definitely faces criticism tonight, buts it’s not MR out for me. Too many posters getting excited about that fact - some I feel just so they can say ‘I told you so’. Shit result, but it’s not over yet. This place will be a horror show tonight - log off for...

Lack of performance, ability and passion is a receipt for disaster and we are seeing it play out today unfortunately. The Shipley/Allen selection could be perceived as a desperation choice, just for the sake of changing something. We play one up front and none of our 4 strikers are really...

@Earlsdon_Skyblue1 was talking about starting a team, albeit not sure if it was tongue in cheek. Perhaps that could change to a weekly 5/6/7 a side kick about amongst fellow SBT’ers if enough are interested? Not as intense or as big a commitment that way too.

I went to Aldi following FP’s comment that they have updated their craft selection. I’ve had two so far, the first one - a grapfruit pale ale - I had to throw away (which I never do!) as it wasn’t great, and the second - strawberry lager - I wasn’t too sure of either. However I wasn’t...

Vanilla Stout sounds interesting - any good?

Had a real novelty beer in the week - Shamrock Shake by White Hag Brewing, an ice cream pale and it was green! It was like drinking mint choc chip - really nice as a one off. Also had a Witbier, which I’m not always a fan of, by BBNo (Brew by Numbers) called 07, which was orange and vanilla...

Has anyone heard/seen the April Dice Running Challenge? Essentially you role two dice each day and whatever the combined number is, you run that distance that day. Tempted to try it, with the caveat of I’ll do one long run every weekend regardless.

Had a decent week of running, feel like I am on the track back to pre Covid fitness levels. Spent the week exploring trails near me that I was never quite sure of previously (either not clearly marked, seemed to go too close to Farmers homes and/or I’d never seen people use whenever I was...

He’s been off form for a while. Tough one though as he’s still one of only two creative players we have, even off form, his vision is better than anyone else we have. His position the last few games isn’t helping, it’s no coincidence he sprung to life more yesterday when he played deeper as...

Dear oh dear, how long have you been waiting to start this thread in an attempt to justify the embarrassing one you started a few years ago? To be fair at least you’ve finally come out and openly said it now, rather than hiding behind your unsubtle Robins Out campaign. Don’t worry about...

Terrible game and another terrible performance. No positives to take from that. Maybe it’s a confidence thing as we started ok and created chances, but once we missed them that was it - we went off the boil. MR’s default is definitely not to lose and games like today that’s really not a good...

Not intending this as an aggravating post, genuine question; but do you still think there’s not a Robins Out sentiment amongst some?

Massive gap between attackers and midfield now we’ve taken our only natural 10 off. Guessing Hamer will push up slightly but he’s too out of the game there. Feel for Sheaf, what’s he expected to do in 10 minutes, he isn’t a change the game type of sub.

Yep, let’s hope he gets himself into those positions.

Cheers mate - good original point, and to be fair it was actually relevant to my post for a change.

Genuinely forgot Hamer was playing. Now he’s sitting deeper he’ll have to get involved more and I think it suits him better.
