Any update on this Better Days?

No point Robins harping on about experience. Wasn't long ago he was boasting about how he reduced the average of the squad in the summer from 23 to 21...almost like this was deliberate.

Hiwulas performance is the worst Ive seen from anyone this season. Seems I'm in the minority but I thought JCH actually did well first half and finished the game e well. I feel for Bayliss as well. He wants to be in the final third impacting the game but Robins has him holding hands with Doyle...

Chaplin was absolutely appalling tonight. The only player to pip him was Hiwula who I dont think controlled the ball once all night.

The standard of the Championship when Partridge was with us was a lot lower than it is now. Probably a similar level to League 1 now. One or two good players in a team made a huge difference. Thomas has been exceptional good but his final ball and finishing needs to improve... Which I think it will.

I thought Biamou's injury could be a blessing in disguise at the time. It forced Robins hand into playing JCH to lead the line. I think hes been excellent a few times since hes been back in the team... Even though he missed two sitters today!

Cian Harries made his first start for Swansea today against Villa.

Completely agree. That injury for a winger especially is awful. Could arguably take 12 months from now to get back up to speed. Bolasie at Everton had the same injury about two years ago and things are so bad hes now on loan at Villa.

JCH should have had two against Gillingham and two against Rochdale last weekend. I actually think Biamou getting injured is a huge blessing in disguise as Robins will likely have to play JCH every game.

I'm obviously in the minority but I thought Burge did ok. If the start of this season has reinforced nothing else it is that Burge is the best we have currently. Thomas has made some poor choices in the last two games and looks a little naive defensively (gave away some silly cheap free kicks)...

Hyam and Willis both been excellent. Hyam gets better every game. JCH lead the line very well second half and Chaplin definitely adds something to us.

Both have come back from bad injuries. Realistically even when a player gets back on thr pitch after an ACL injury it is almost 12 months before they are back at their best. I fear unfortunately that will be the case with Jodi Jones.

Be ineligible I imagine. Deadline was 5pm but must be registered and cleared by 12pm in order to play tomorrow.

More likely Calum Wilson if reports are to be believed.

Talk of Barnsley trying to outbid us from the Portsmouth press.

It's happening... Coventry set to complete move for Portsmouth’s Conor Chaplin

I think he is but the formation they play and the type of player Jackett sounds like hes been chasing this seems to fit the mould I would say. An excellent signing for this level as well. Did pretty well for Villa last season.

Andre Green from Villa has tonight gone to Portsmouth... Surely this is a game changer!

Amongst all the chopping which I hate this is the most bizarre selection Robins has made. O'Brien wasnt good enough for League 2 let alone League 1. I know Burge has had a hip problem but if hes fit enough to be on the bench hes fit enough to start.

Bakayoko was horrendous... But the formation is the main problem. Anyone would be pissed off being so isolated up there on their own. The obsession with the two holding men needs to stop. The three who end up playing behind the striker end up being lightweight midfielders or strikers out of...
