    More that the Media deliberately wanted a comment on a fans favourite so they could get some vague comments back from Robins to wrap into clickbait.

    The licence to get forward that the fullbacks have been given helps Shipley's game. He's not a 'take his man on and beat him for skill or pace' type of wide player, more a 'have a touch, make a pass and keep moving'. It's simple but simple can still be effective for the team, if the flair is...

    The Curious Case of Jordy Hiwula

    Hiwula is poor back to goal, which is definitely his weakness to work on, so I can see why Robins didn't play him up top before but credit to Robins on this one - after fucking about with so many formation and shape changes this season he's pulled one out that genuinely works to the strengths of...

    Video Goal Cam | Wycombe Away

    Blimey, Allsop looks a long way over the right side of his goal there from that angle. JCH still had to finish it but I'd be disappointed if Burge had shown their striker that much of the goal.

    Out of interest, which of the Glicko brothers came up with this method? Was it Wladimir or Vitali?

    Will be a very different performance if Doyle comes in for Kelly. There's no way the fullbacks can be as adventurous as they have been in the last 3 games as Doyle's just not quick enough to provide the lateral cover for them and Kelly gets forward so much more than Doyle was before too - only...

    They were on a dire run - 5 games without scoring but have turned it round with a clean sheet at Wycombe and followed it up with a good win at Peterborough. When they lose it tends to be by a couple of clear goals or more - 5 of their 6 home defeats by >2+ goals: In terms of goals conceded -...

    Would think a big factor would be that we haven't played them for nearly 20 years now and that the club would be on the rise again, rather then a decline. Back in the Champ after so long out and a home fixture against Villa early in the season and I reckon it would be pretty close to a sell out...

    Luke Thomas Loan

    Is that a new interview? A couple of days ago he said a decision hadn't been made but he'd probably be staying on loan, which I thought was an ominously carefully worded statement to make.

    Burge Maybe on the move

    Wouldn't surprise me at all - he makes some top class saves and teams will have seen that and think it is a cheap gamble if they believe they can bring him in as a number 2 keeper while continuing to develop him and iron out the remaining issues in his game.

    Wycombe must be sick of the sight of us. Turned into a real bogey team for them. That's now 3 teams we've done the double over already this season!

    Really worried about Kelly. Doyle is chasing shadows again but I suppose that if you're gonna do that then Akinfenwa's is as big as they get ;)

    Definitely a pen. Put his arm right across his shoulders. JCH has been much more beasty than 'the beast' since he came on.

    Tripped up by a falling Akinfenwa. Looked innocuous though and he broke his fall with his left arm. Wouldn't be surprised if that's a shoulder dislocation or broken collarbone.

    Don't get excited, we don't do winning by 2 clear goals nevermind 3! :p

    Wasn't just a great pass from Bayliss it was super strength too to hold their player off. Good finish from JCH too from a similar position to his previous missed 1 on 1s earlier in the season.
