I suspect Robins would prefer a defender of some sort at left wing back when we are away to a strong team - maybe even Kitching again. The change against Luton was in part driven by his booking and the score line at half time. I would love him to give Rudoni another go but suspect he won't...

Rudoni was involved in all three goals. 1. It was his corner for Simms, 2. A hanging cross from the left was poorly cleared to Sheaf who set up Torp 3. Another hanging cross, this time from the right, which Simms (I think) headed forward and Wright scored from multiple rebounds. ...now it...

I have not been a great Lati fan but thought he put in a good shift yesterday. Won a number of telling tackles, was quick to cover. He obviously does not dominate in the air, but contests hard so little is lost. He is also a leader on the pitch. But is he good enough to be one of 2 at the back...

6 things 1. It is obligatory that Kitching will be booked 2. In his soul Luis Binks thinks he should play on the left wing. MotM for me though. 3. It makes a hell of a difference when you have a bloke who can take corners. Rudoni almost worth his place for that alone 4. Tats much better and in...

Just using this thread to make a general point about goalkeepers under Robins. Boddy described MR as 'a good judge of a player' - but does this apply to goalkeepers where it has been a bit of a car crash He inherited Burge and since then has acquired O'Brien (remember him?) Marosi Wilson...

But crucially the Liverpool goalkeeper gets it away within seconds, almost instantaneously. Then they are in the opposition half. We have been taking an eternity to get beyond the first pass

It starts in September everywhere including Germany. It actually starts later in UK than most iirc

Battle of spoon kop in early 1900. The British took the high ground in SK, but were picked off remorselessly during the day by Boers (dutch South Africans) who were on two lower peaks. British were forced to leave the hill and retreat. SK's Olin football grounds were high bits rather like ours was.

The aversion to loans will be tested if the 5 year plan falls behind schedule

".....you're not going to like it"

I did not come on here right after the game as I suspected that it would be full of people who were only one step from calling The Samaritans. However my 5 things are 1. Sakamoto has lost it. See other thread. You might say the same for Simms and (very sadly) Bidwell 2. It's not the defensive...

4 4 2 was my thought. It could accommodate our most potent threats - Haji and EMC. The latter was one of the bright spots tiday

Not the player he was last year. Very reluctant to take his man on. Meant we had no penetration down the right. Good at retaining possession but that was about it. He should be dropped and the formation if need be changed. Bizarrely we have a spare left winger

All games are tough now. We have not really impressed so far with two one nillers in the Cup, a loss and a draw in the League. We thumped Oxford for 90 minutes in the League but relied on a lucky late goal to beat them. This one has draw written all over it. Simms has to show something - he's...

Billing adds more than simms on the basis of the first couple of games.

I don't know but I would be staggered if Robins did not have sign off on major purchases

Having failed to get either Browne or Stamenic, it is reasonable to assume that a CDM is top of the list. The failure to find anyone since the Stamenic debacle implies it is very hard to find the right person/right price etc etc.I suspect they are still at it, as we have have not had the usual...

We have spent serious money on Torp and Rudoni. You are clearly not a member of the 'In Robins we trust' group?

Cantwell is Rudoni. We already have two expensive players in Wright and EMC competing for one position. I don't buy all that squad depth tosh, it's a cliche. Ideally you need an obvious number 1 and a good quality deputy who recognizes that is his role. Sheaf and Eccles. We have competition of...
