He's getting a hattrick today, can feel it in my bones* *boner

Nightmare, surely :P

Ref has done well so far today, hope he keeps it up. Would have booked their player for the dive in the box earlier though.

These are the shite one trick ponies they always are. They also seem to be defending really deep or stupidly high. Keep up the pressure and we could batter them with a little patience and composure.

That's how it used to be measured a few years ago and then they changed it from the chess clock style counting to 'Our number of passes/Total passes = Our Possession %' because it was usually just one person responsible for the counting of all match stats and they kept forgetting to stop the...

As a bit of fun, I wonder what's the best 16 players you could put together from the teams we've dropped points against this season and then how many of them would get into our current squad and who they would replace?

The Lincoln defence are just a bunch of huge cloggers. Bostwick is as slow as defenders get and won't have an easier time all season. Crying out for a bit of pace against them.

I'm sorry, I don't think it is. We were shooting from distance centrally and getting early crosses in to Godden when the ball was wide, which has been a tactic all season when he has been in the team. We absolutely dominated that half but created very little because the domination was in defence...

First time all game we got more than 2 players in the box from open play. We started with 2 sitting midfielders in Walsh and Kelly against a team with very little ambition, it's excessive. That goal came from Kelly winning the ball high up the pitch and he's clearly been pushed onwards in the...

We shouldn't be getting over run in midfield with wingbacks and 3 centre midfielders. It's as much to do with how deep our defence sit and our playing out from the back that leads to the midfield getting over run - it leaves the midfield too much ground to cover to defend and support the...

Bakayoko and Kastaneer out of the squad completely with Jodi Jones and Hiwula back on the bench

And forwards almost always go for more than defenders.

If we can get whoever negotiated the Gary Borrowdale sale to oversee this one too I'll be happy.

I'd be really really annoyed if he gets game time over Mason in that scenario.

It's a totally irrelevant point and a completely different set of circumstances. Slade had no pre-season to get his philosophy across, no opportunity to clear the squad out and start over. (Fortunately for us). That said, Slade had a 19% win ratio across his 16 games vs the 20% in Robins last 10.

And he's managed us at the absolute lowest point we've been since then too and turned a club in free fall around to the point that all the disarray is off-field now and you couldn't say that before. He should have the best win percentage though, even on St Andrews attendances we'd have the 4th...

It's not about the last 10 games for me, the fundamental issues with what Robins does on the pitch have been there since the L2 season. I think the following have been trends throughout the last 3 seasons: The defence has long periods of games sitting too deep, for the 3rd season in a row. I...

It was a cup replay though, we simply had to win. Tuesday's first half was a glimpse of what it would be like if we really went out to win games I think. Robins is a paint by numbers manager when it comes to matchday. We won on Tuesday so kept the same team and tactics. We could easily (and...

Why are we so deep? No wonder half the midfield look knackered, just look at how much ground they've got to cover to get up with the attack and that on the back of a game in the week.
