Not in any way suggesting I am an expert but having had to do my badges out here for my local club role, it has all but destroyed my enjoyment of watching football as entertainment or a spectacle. Coventry games I still enjoy because of my love for the club but pretty much anything else and I'm...

I thought (hoped?!) this thread was going to be about 1980s football magazines.

I don’t find him a tactically brilliant manager and often I think he’s a little slow to react in games. I do think he’s a great man manager, knows how to build squad spirit and is excellent at improving raw players, which is one of the reasons I’m not worried about our new signings this year...

By Christmas everyone will be lauding Robins again for getting us to where we are with so many new signings and injuries.

I know there's a general shortage of referees but have the FA started cloning?!

Can't believe Eccles is the best we have for those free kicks. Would rather Binks came over and took an inswinger.

Allen's decision making of who and when to press in those situations is outstanding. Ayari just looks naive and inexperienced. He is running, just a lot of it is pointless.

Allen back and Ayari or Saka at 10 I guess.

Kelly's hamstring gone chasing back there

Passing game looks much sharper and crisper tonight. Only been 15 mins but looks as good as anything since the opening game. Binks breaking lines, midfield passing forward. Godden dropping into spaces, Simms holding the ball up well. Looks promising in attack. Defence still look nervy though.

Not many people know that Kilmarnock’s nickname is ‘The Prostates’

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.

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.

Won't be long enough for some!

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...
