All forwards are coached to follow in, its basics. But a lot don't. If he hadn't followed the header in he wouldn't have scored. It didn't just drop to his feet like a gift. He got himself there and was the first to react - hence why he wasn't off side. But if you see no merit in that...

I think some fans just get set in their opinions on players. Either ignore or be dismissive of the good stuff they do and jump on their first mistake. It was like when Asante scored against St Pauli. Several fans by me responded by saying "I could have scored that.". Looking at them I doubt...

Yesterday Asante deserves a lot of credit for his goal, it wasn't just a tap in. If you watch, when Thomas heads the ball towards goal Asante has his back to the goal. As the ball goes over his head his eyes are tracking it, he is on the turn and following it in. Everyone else is flat on...

For me, yesterday was Torp's best 90 minutes in a Cov shirt. Not much to fault in that display. I hope he can do it consistently now. Looked the player I was hoping to see last season. In fairness to him his form was starting to look better in the later stages of last season before his injury.

Seems to be out of fashion with most teams. The order of the day seems to be pick a player wrap your arms around them, wrestle them and try and disrupt their movement.

Weren’t we strapped with injuries. What were the alternatives.

I have never seen a player react like the Sheffield Wednesday player. Kitching never protested and just walked. Post match Robins came out and defended Kitching. By Monday morning Coventry and Kitching were accepting their fate. More to that than than met the eye. Let’s face it the ref was...

Every thing stuck to Cyril. He could be involved two or three times in a build up. He was superb on the edge of the penalty area with his back to goal and he could just lay it off or deliver a round the corner pass and play someone in. He had explosive power, but played in short bursts...

Hamer was trying to win the ball. With Kitching it was afters and often when he wasn’t involved in the first place and when we had already got given the free kick. There is a big difference.

Well I’ve only just noticed. Not unusual, it’s like people’s comments, I react to their latest post. I can’t keep track of people’s posting history or opinions. I know I have had spats with people, can’t remember who and what over 😂 certainly no vendettas. Cyril was a superb centre forward...

Clint, I love your new profile pic Cyril and Snoz

I just think he seems more disciplined without losing his combative spirit.

Most teams have Monday off if they don’t have a midweek game. Rest, recovery and family time is importantly. They need time to switch off from footballl. Something some forum posters could learn from.

Because he had a spell of indiscipline on the pitch getting needless cards. Trying to be the hard man and getting involved when there was no need to. He needed time out and the cold shoulder to make him grow up. I fairness to him I think he has and looks a better player for it.

Bassette like Asante has shown he is not a natural finisher. Bassette's early promise was about being a willing runner and providing nuisance value. At the moment BTA is delivering both of those things better than Bassette.

I feel I would have to give players two ratings. The good bits and the bad bits 😆 A Jekyll and Hyde performance typical of an early season game. We got the result so that's the main thing.

People used to moan about Robins making subs too late. Frank does them even later 😆

Is he sure it's the computer giving him headaches and not SBT 😂 Enjoy your beers.

I don't think that was ever in doubt.

I have always questioned his pace. But at least today in 2nd half when Derby were on the counter attack, he chased back from the edge of the penalty area into our half and won the ball back. This time last year he couldn't do that even if he was willing. His over all fitness levels have...
