    That's the kind of natural striker's effort that Bakayoko rarely has. Quick turn and early cleanly struck shot from 20 yards.

    Not too much. Game taking a while to settle down. Bristol are pressing and physical and playing quite long into their strikers who are pulling wide. Out midfield 3 a little bit outnumbered by their diamond but there's lots of space for Hiwula and Jobello out wide however that's leaving Godden a...

    It does read like that but then Robins has surprised before with inclusions that he's hinted are not ready yet. I don't think you can read between the lines on the things he comes out with in his pre match conferences. He does sound pretty pleased with the start of the season though which...

    Robins: ''Jamie Allen is coming back from his injury and he is running now and running pain free, so hopefully we can get him back training early part of next week and build him up that way.”

    Thought it was a horrible captaincy decision not to open the bowling with Woakes given his record at Lords. Yes Archer bowled quickly but he didn't ask enough questions of the batsmen, they were able to leave too many balls.

    Would have resulted in either dogshit in my hair or a rollicking from Albert at number 37.

    People who hate SISU but then laud Wasps actions as 'it's just business' make my blood boil. I'm not sure whether that's more or less angry than people who justify the council's catastrophic decision to sell to Wasps with 'Well SISU wanted to build their own stadium so what choice did the...

    You can wash off a skid mark. Clueless again.

    Michael Rose

    You don’t need to play 3 at the back to get the full backs forward. We should already have one fullback and 2 midfielders joining the attack in a 4-3-3. That’s 6 involved in an attack and just needs communication to manage it.

    Sometimes it's about the partnership rather than the two best players. It's a very young back 4 without McFadzean and probably a quiet one too. Hyam has never stood out as a leader - he's more of a Kelly type who leads through consistency. That spine of Marosi, McFadzean, Kelly is really strong...

    Funny you should mention Andre Wright, as I see that another of that season's flops, Dan Agyei has signed for Oxford on a 3 year deal. Wiki says they have paid for him too as there's compensation due to Burnley as they'd offered him a new contract!! I'm not sure which of those 2 things I find...

    Clive's voice getting very high pitched and squeaky while shouting 'ooooh, Hiwula's squeezed it in from a very tight angle' is my highlight of the season so far.

    I read on here somewhere that he told the Southam supporters group he'd be back for Bristol.
