Working for me at the moment.

Don't see any point in picking a team or tinkering with theoretical formations while Robins sends us out as negatively as he does - it renders personnel and formations irrelevant. Get our creative attacking players receiving the ball in dangerous areas of the pitch and we'll do alright, or...

We're not a big side but then you'd think we'd try and play football then, instead of sitting deep and trying to soak up long balls before floating it forward towards a dwarf.

JCH on the wrong side of his man, free header.

As long as we are happy to defend the edge of our area we are going to struggle to play coherent football and will invite pressure on to ourselves. Our fullbacks and Kelly have been our best players today and that probably says a lot about how that half played out. Anthony Grant running the...

Just need a bit more composure on the ball. We look like a side lacking in confidence - everything is a bit rushed and Shrewsbury pressing hard. Think it will settle down now and hope we push out a bit.

That goal kick is more like it. JCH won the header with Chaplin running off him in behind. Let's see more of that.

Still lots of questions after the team news. Will it be 4-3-3 with Chaplin-JCH-Thomas or a 4-4-2? If 4-4-2 will Ogogo play higher or back to the 2 deep CMs like last season and will our strikers play as a pair? Assuming Davies is injured with him not even in the squad so wonder how fit Willis is...

1. Odds on how many of the previous starting XI will get bombed out the entire squad this week. 2. Odds on Andreu, having not even been near the starting XI for months, to come straight back in to the starting XI.

Moments like that are bloody brilliant. He's never gonna be more than an average L1 right back but in 35 years time he'll be able to show his grandkids how he bent one into the top corner at Wembley, on his wrong foot, and made 40,000 people go wild.

Walsall game Shipley had been blowing for a while already. Thought the obvious change was Doyle for Shipley on 75 and move Bayliss out wide. Maintain the ability to counter down both flanks but strengthen the middle by pushing Kelly a bit higher and letting Doyle settle the nerves.

In an ideal world he'll publicly tell Chelsea to fuck off until they properly deal with the racism.

Do we get a bonus point if we can name his lipstick of choice?

That might be a factor but he looked good against Walsall 1st half (his final ball was still off though) and the big difference there was where we were getting him on the ball. That for me has been the biggest issue with him this year - he tends to get the ball 10 yards inside his own half...

Part of the issue we have now in my opinion - we didn't address the glaring issues that were there when we were on that winning run.

That header from JCH gets worse every time I watch it. He's actually closer to the goal than the keeper is when he connects.

And Beavon was part of the deal for selling our top scorer Sordell I think?

Lukas Jutkiewicz - Nobody

We're missing a positive, fluent game plan. Really angry that Robins has finally changed the midfield up and then decided to be this negative with the team set up.

We're so deep again though, our midfield receive the ball 10 yards inside our own half. You can't play anything other than direct running counterattacking like that.
