    Could be worse. That’s definitely a 3-5-2 with Beavon playing 10. Beavon can’t score for toffee, but he can create, so let’s hope he steps up. In theory 10 could suit him, especially with the movement of McNulty and Duck ahead of him. Shipley in the middle also means we have someone who can...

    Hoping to see an attacking 3-5-2 tomorrow: Burge Willis Davies McDonald Grimmer/DKE Haynes Stevenson Doyle Duck Biamou McNulty But I have a horrible feeling it’s going to be the same...

    Potential January Additions

    We needed one out and out winger as it was, we now need two unless MR changes formation. We also need a creative attacking midfielder i.e. an Andreu replacement. In an ideal world we also get another striker, but I actually believe if we had at least ONE creative footballer in our team it...

    Jones Injury

    So plan A was to build around Andreu; out for the season. Plan B was to counter with Jones; out for the season. Plan B was already filled with issues, so let’s hope MR has a better Plan C up his sleeve. Jones has been off form recently, so others have had to try and step up, but I worry we no...

    Jones Injury

    He is our only real attacking outlet and genuine winger, which means we stupidly now have no fit wingers in the squad. However MR will have to adapt and hold out till January when hopefully he’s given funds to secure replacements. Didn’t he indicate the other day he was already looking for...

    How is Willis getting some positive or at least ‘ok’ comments; he was awful yesterday and got absolutely taken the mick out of by their strikers. Which is especially bad considering Championship teams were interested in him just over a year ago. Jones has been the only bright spark this season...

    How is it that, while as a forum we have differing points of view on pretty much everything, we unanimously agree we lack creativity and another out and out winger, yet Robins either fails to see it or address it. Yes Haynes isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but at least he’s willing to run at...

    Of all the performances today, I’m not sure why McNulty and Biamou are being picked out as two of the worst. I like them both, McNulty is quite a clever player with his movement but is never seen, while Biamou is raw but he wins everything in the air which is proof he can be a different option...

    We are so so shit at time. No creativity or attacking sense at all. And today we’ve been awful defensively too. Surely we have a young winger somewhere? Especially now Jones has lost the plot.

    I know. That’s my point - is isn’t Haynes’ fault he’s having an awful game.

    Trying to blame Jones anonymous performance on Haynes is a bit of a stretch.

    They are a good side, not sure why they aren’t higher in the league. As I’ve said all season; pace works in this league and they have it. We have zero creativity or attacking ability. Yet another game of poor football with no idea how to attack. But as always if we win I’ll take it.

    Good open and attacking 10 minutes followed by a poor 35. We’ve lost our way and look really poor defensively which is out of character. Willis has been really poor. McNultys movement is really good, but we aren’t finding him. Unfortunately Ponti has been out of the game for the majority of...

    We are back to playing like we do in every first half this season - tentative and awful at football.

    Willis is having a mare. Their striker has him in his pocket, it’s embarrassing.

    We actually look really positive in attack - makes a nice change to have an exciting start to the game. However we have been poor in the air at the back - they’ve won too many headers. McNulty looks really sharp too - great to see.
