    If we do end up rejigging the midfield I'd give JCH another go. Was fiercely defensive of the criticism Biamou got last year because of the role he was asked to play. No coincidence that Beavon before him struggled and now JCH is too. The position he's having to play is a write off in...

    I am very critical of Doyle and not so much of Bayliss. It's not blinkers though. Is he as effective around the box as last year when he predominantly played at RM against teams who were mostly happy with a point and knowing he had 2 DMs behind him? No. This year though Bayliss is being asked...

    Robins - CWR

    We are very static in attack as we don't pass and move through the opposition's defence. This ponderousness comes through the lack of fluidity, players are stood still, waiting for the ball never sure if it is coming - it's a symptom of the way we attack through Bayliss and Thomas individually...

    Robins - CWR

    It isn't. The issues with Doyle have been evident since the Wimbledon game. He can't cope under pressure anymore. He barely wins a 50-50, can't keep up with anyone else with 2 legs and keeps getting dumped on his arse dithering about on the ball or arriving too slow to challenge well. Any...

    701 minutes in the first 18 games. Less than 8 full games of that 18. Which was 6 starts, 8 sub appearances, 4 unused.

    Robins - CWR

    Played well first half, could have been 2 up. Got to start taking our chances. Losing Willis had a big impact on the match - Evans and Madden are very good strikers Young team and tonight will be a learning curve for them. Fleetwood are a big side and they got away with a lot of cynical...

    Ratings for Tonight

    We don't get enough people in the box because our back 5 start so deep. Bayliss needs to be receiving the ball between halfway and top of the centre circle in their half but most of the time he's collecting it 10 yards outside our own box where our actual defensive midfielder should be. Then...

    This is where I find it hard to not be critical of Robins. This has been coming for 4 games now but he's so stubborn in these situations and just seems to keep doing the same thing until it goes so badly wrong that he's forced to change it. We have no central midfield. Bayliss is having to try...

    Fleetwood hadn't scored at home in the last 30 minutes of a match all season.

    Andreu coming on at left midfield, 1-0 down with 20 minutes to go, having not even been in a matchday squad for a month is the most Robins substitution ever.

    Can't believe he's not booked their player for that swipe on Thomas.

    Their leads are brittle though, they've squandered a lot of leads this season. Need to keep pressing.

    Very deep again at the start of this half, there's acres in the middle but it's getting filled with our strikers again. Hopefully this injury break will stop their momentum like Jones' did to ours on Friday. Get 15 yards higher up the pitch!

    City, otherwise you're setting her expectations early that you're willing to give up the things you love for her instead of her falling for you for who you are. Slippery slope then. Besides, there's 15 minutes at HT, that's enough for foreplay and sex!.

    It will be such a dramatic day when Wasps finally go under and CCFC get offered the Ricoh and Ann Lucas peels off her face to reveal she's really Joy, who then peels off her face to reveal she's also Tim Fisher, who then peels off his face to reveal he's Geoffrey Robinson who then peels off his...

    Fleetwood haven't lost at home in 4 and have only lost twice at home this season in 9 games but they do concede regularly - in 8 of those 9 matches. Joey Barton must be getting them fired up before the games as they come out the blocks flying in terms of goals scored/conceded but tail off...

    Sol Campbell

    Sorry Sol, 20 years ago you moved from Spurs to Arsenal after only 9 years playing service. Can't give you this manager's job now in case you leave after 6 months.
