    Loans - let’s not bother

    It's a little bit self-perpetuating though isn't it? Two or 3 good loans are compulsory for a promotion push because of the hoovering up of talent by the bigger clubs in the first place. The good players get snapped up, mostly to develop in U23 teams, we in turn are forced to cast our net wider...

    Very polite way of calling him a dickhead!

    If you look at his picture Greggs has got his hand up it's arse. So he probably does the talking for it - he's some kind of ventrowloquist.

    U23 v Barnsley

    Wakefield on the bench. Is that his first return after injury?

    I reckon Hyam, Godden, Eccles, Pask and McCallum will all get starts.

    The new 433 or a switch to 442/4231 ?

    There were a few issues for me with the 4-3-3 on Saturday: First was that the two wide forwards were providing too much width, they were virtually on the touch line and then cutting inside. As a result there was little synergy with Baka and without a number 10 in there like you would have in a...

    Nope. But the same patterns are repeating themselves season after season now. He's doing some great stuff with CCFC but we can also point out the flaws without wanting him sacked :)

    2 games, 2 clean sheets. Robbed by the ref today. We haven't been able to break down teams that sit deep for 3 seasons now and that's on Robins as much as the team itself - I fear his limit as a coach is upper mid table league 1 unless he works out how to influence games that are getting away...

    He'll pass the ball a second earlier than Westbrooke and that'll be a big help. Westbrooke was terrible today for delaying his passes and then taking the easy option.

    Why did our inside forwards hug the touch line all game?

    Not as awful as the decision to put him left wing.

    So we all hoping Bolton go under now, so that the match gets scrubbed off? :emoji_innocent:

    As great a manager as he's been for us, Robins' achilles heel is his ability to influence games where we're struggling to break down teams. Too stubborn with formations and too slow to change personnel. And no, I don't want him sacked :P

    Surely we want Godden running off Biamou, not the other way round :(

    Mason has taken about 10 throws today and every one of them has been waist height.

    The point is we have no-one down the middle who can beat a man. Kelly, Shipley, Westbrooke are all reliant on passing around teams to break them down. It's 1 dimensional.

    Missed Bayliss and Bright today. Players who could roll their man and put them on the back foot.
