Are you one of those commenting on the match saying 'we should have had 3 by now?'

We have to learn to put games to bed, and thoroughly so. Our inability to do so has been a consistent theme of Rpbins v 2. ...not least for the health of fans whose hearts are at risk of serious damage otherwise

I would be gobsmacked and more than a little puzzled if MR did not stick with the starting line up from Blackpool. It was not just the win, but the manner of it. Having one of his lesser players - Allen - perform so well was a real bonus. I hope there has been lots of training on the back 3...

Given that Robins can only take one more new player in, I think we saw last night exactly why he is focused on acquiring a LWB rather than a central midfielder. The current first choice LWB is inexperienced and dodgy deffensively, the back up, just plain dodgy. Robins 1 SBT nil.

Moore v quick off his line

But we all want shot of Allen and Shippers and Pask has been told he should look elsewhere. Do we really want DaCosta

We should have avoided Bright (unless he was an absolute give away). We a have a lengthening number in the bomb squad. And we want to take Wilshire - surely not. On a pay per game basis would be the only way.

When I follow on the game via this blog, what usually happens, is that when everybody shouts that it is a glaring miss, when I come to look at the clip after the game, the player is often off balance/ ball behind him/surrounded by defenders (delete as applicable) and that at best it was a half...

Crikey Bright & Wilshire....surely not

Robins is also a cute cookie about what he says in public. Often quite oblique. I have always thought that was one reason why SISU like him. Not a gobshite like Mowbray.

Defeat. Maybe even a bad one...

At the time I thought it a ricochet, but the camera behind the goal makes it look like an instanteous reaction and flick to Gyokeres. In which case it is top quality awareness. He did similar to feed Hamer in to score in a home game last year, can't remember which.

Unless owned by a 'sugar daddy' all football clubs are businesses requiring some kind of return. It's arguable that only Man City & PSG are not run as businesses. Liverpool & Man Utd certainly are, as are the German clubs. Barcelona are learning that they are too. Before somebody suggests it...

Before I saw this, I wondered if Sheaf's pass to Gyokeres was a lucky ricochet, but it looks deliberate.

Walker had 5 Forest players between him and O'Hare - who had nil chance of reaching him

I don't think Sheaf got near enough to foul him, and would have been ill advised to anyway. He was tracking back to fill the space left by Maatsen in particular. No fault to Gyokeres - he lost the ball miles from our goal.

That first goal was a catalogue of errors and showed why O'Hare still has some improvement to do in his awareness. O'Hare nutmeged the Forest defender, but opted to fire the ball into the middle, although it was well covered by defenders and the one City player was on the other side of them...

The decline of Hamer raises questions about Robins' man management of strong characters - see JCH

Bright is the new Biamou / Jones. I will surprised if Bright does much for us.
