    Real belief in this squad ...

    Robins confirmed after he signed that there is no clause about him playing in the league but there is regarding cup games.

    Chaplin Disallowed Goal

    I think that's exactly why Paul had his Dickov.

    Real belief in this squad ...

    I think the next 3 games will give us a realistic overview of where we are and are very important games in the context of the season. We could fail to secure the win we ought to get at Bristol R, lose to Sunderland and Portsmouth at home and end up hovering above the bottom 4 again. Crowds...

    Something I heard Saturday RE: Sterling's wages

    I was pleased too but his class and pedigree are not worth a potential 18k expense a week to a L1 club and it would be grossly incompetent to have signed such a deal given how far 18k a week stretches in L1. Robins is not a fool. He already confirmed in one of his pre game interviews that there...

    Grimmer VS Nazon :D

    I'd imagine that was covcity4life's reaction too when he saw that EA had rated his passing as 43

    Something I heard Saturday RE: Sterling's wages

    Can you imagine Robins going 'Hmmm, 4 more well paid L1 players in the squad or a right back that's never played a game of men's football in his life. Get the deal done!'

    Match Thread Bristol Rovers v Coventry City match thread Saturday 22 Sep

    15 league losses last season. W7 (47%), D3 (20%), L5 (33%) in the subsequent fixtures :)

    Match Thread Bristol Rovers v Coventry City match thread Saturday 22 Sep

    Would be great to get a win here as it would take a lot of pressure off for the following home games against Sunderland and Portsmouth. Would be 3 league wins in row though - something we only managed once last year.

    Match Thread Coventry City vs Barnsley Match Thread - Saturday 15th Sep

    It would have been interesting for me to see how Robins set the team up with McNulty in comparison to reality. Generally we've gone back to the first half of last season - trying to keep it tight at the back and nicking results, as opposed to the freedom we played with in the last 10 games of...

    It's a game of two halves

    0 first half goals conceded in 8 games is a pretty amazing stat!

    I like him a lot. Think it's the partnership with Willis that's bringing the best out of him though. He'd look poor paired with a slow CB. Our own Hansen and Lawrenson.

    Bakayoko is the new Leon Best...

    Name names then. Was one of the old accusations thrown about on GMK too when a couple of fuckwits like you, with brain dead opinions, couldn't find anyone to agree with them.

    I've a bad feeling about this one. I think we'll struggle to keep the ball in midfield with their pressing style and end up going long too often.

    Bakayoko is the new Leon Best...

    How is Robins persisting with him? He's barely getting a sniff now we've signed Chaplin, featuring for a total of 14 minutes in the last 3 league games.

    Arsenal "Highlights"

    So come on then - was it 4-4-2 or 4-2-3-1 yesterday? Robins talked about a loss of shape and I'm not convinced we played one or the other, was almost a 4-5-1 with how deep Andreu came for the ball at times. Allassani's positional play was more like a winger, Hiwula seemed to tuck inside a bit...

    That was me, was definitely Hiwula not Sterling.
