If Robins is true to form, MacCullum will be on the bench. He has been very consistent in team selections and the way he treats players. Everybody knows the score that way. You earn your place. Only Kelly (and previously Doyle) have been treated in any way differently imho. This rule does not...

Were not both goals from corners fired to the far post?

On the subject of birth's clashing with games... A friend who is a big Spurs fan was at a conference with me in Durham, and his wife was due to give birth. Spurs were playing Accrington (IIRC) in a cup comp that evening and he was planning to go, as it was a grounds he had never seen Spurs...

As everyone seems to think its nonsense, it will probably happen. Judging by comments in the past made by those who have actually seen him play, that might be his level. If I was Pask, at his age, I'd want to play.

Good move - he should, all things being equal, get serious, competitive game time with a strong League 1 outfit. Better than we could have expected. Looks like Eccles impressed Evans on Tueday night. I would worry if we needed him for an extended run in the Championship at this stage in hid...

surely Sheaf for Kelly

Dabo & Sheaf for Pask & Kelly. 1-1 Pask to replace Dabo as a sub if needs be Rose on the naughty step because of Gillingham.

When this happened last year, we got Walsh in. Then it looked, although it might have just been a coincidence, like a reaction to a Kelly injury. Either way it was fortuitous.

It's a wonderful combo - City scoring reported by Michelle Owen. I need to go and lie down.

You are all saying Pask was at fault, but who was that trailing in patterson's wake, Hyam or Giles?

Robins doesn't seem to think so. Brings in Ostigaard

Can Ostigaard come stright in? I guess he has to as it is too soon for Rose. Otherwise MK shows where Robins is going Marosi Pask-Ostigaard-MacF-Hyam-Giles Hamer-Kelly (Sheaf for Hamer part way) O'Hara-Godden-Allen I'd love to see Baka-Walker up front at some time but not this game. Result...

Everybody is entitled to an opinion about a player. That s what this blog is about there is no place for sentimentality. It is a rubbish idea to say is an obligation to test a player in the 1st team to find out if he is any good. We have just shipped out Ponti without trying him and ditto...

At a personal level this is really ghastly. Two and a half years he has been in some sort of recovery, which is enough to test anyone's strength of character. If he does get back he will have done extraordinarily well. BUT, at a football level it matters very little, as I am not sure at all that...

experienced Premiership defenders know Wilson inside out. They don't know Watkins

Consistency is an over rated virtue. But I was liking the fact that, amidst all the rose tinted optimism of many, at least one person appreciated that there is a fair chance we could get absolutely mullered. As you can see I still hold to that view.

Brunt? Meh, so what, past his 'sell by'. Shades of Mowbray....And it's the 'other' Sessegnon, so who cares? I would say First game of the season - anything can happen We have promotion momentum But we are missing three key defenders in Dabo, Rose and Sam Mac so a lot relies on Hyam and...

If everyone is predicting a place well below half way / just above the drop zone, it means we are losing a lot of games, which means in turn that a number of our players are not up to this standard. But who? It's the reverse of the Walsh conundrum.

That should say "year" not "years". Everybody has their own view on this one. And we don't know what the Club had to do to to get rid of players like Ogogo, JCH and Westbrooke. We've been lucky that Widdrington went to Bristol The heart of it is tho that there is no such thing as a "settled...

Pretty well everybody Robins signed in his first years was on a two year deal
