    Transfer Rumour Ellis Simms

    I think needs a run of games starting alongside Wright and Sakamoto. Let them really get to know each other. Robins keeps defaulting to Thomas and Kitching at the back and that has worked. I think we need to put faith in the new forwards. It's okay comparing minutes played, but it is how...

    Promotion.

    Something urgent needs to happen

    He didn't have to make any statement. He hasn't used the word 'accident'. He said what he tried to do he got wrong and admits full responsibility. He admits he put a player at risk of injury. People wanted the FA to look at it. They have done, he has a three match ban in accordance with...

    The Sumo contest between about eight players at every corner is another thing that is spoiling the game.

    Match Thread Plymouth (A)- Wednesday 14th Feb

    Got a gig to go to in Nottingham tomorrow. Plymouth away will be tough, they are not goal shy at home. Whittaker is second highest scorer in the Championship and has plenty of assists too. I would be surprised if we keep a clean sheet. I would not be disappointed with a draw to be honest...

    As results stand so far in tonight's games we are seventh? Potentially at full time we could be 8th.

    NOW who’s our penalty taker

    What about Milan Van Ewijk? Even if the keeper guessed the right way he would probably end up in the back of the net with the ball 😆 In fairness I think we have several players who look capable. Which isn't a bad situation to be in. It comes down to nerve as much as ability when the...

    Play Off Race '24 thread

    There is going to be a lot of surprise results between now and the end of the season. Team in the top ten will have to play each other and take points off each other. It is approaching silly season when teams wake up to the relegation fight and get a few surprise results. We are in a good...

    Something urgent needs to happen

    In Sakamoto's case yes. With Allen it was leaning in with the shoulder as contact was made - which could makes the collision look more innocuous in real time? The fact that the more obvious reckless challenge has luckily resulted in little injury and the more subtle but equally reckless...

    The thing with the Allen situation was he played on with the injury. How many of our fans reacted to the challenge before they knew the extent of the injury? I don't know the answer to that? To me it was obvious he made contact with Allen that was avoidable. However it didn't look like a...

    Perhaps they will when they know the outcome?There are lots of on going things the club don't tell us, they don't have to, they are in control of what and when they choose to make public statements.

    Yes it is a bit mad? But even more mad we have some FA Cup games with VAR and others not.

    Ben Sheaf

    "As soon as we lose a key player or 2 we will struggle" is probably true of every team bar Leicester, Southampton and Leeds? Yes it would impact on some teams more than others. I think even with the bedding in of new players this season, we over achieve more last season considering the injuries...

    Why do they have to say anything? They haven't made any statement either way. Perhaps they are waiting on a process

    Transfer Rumour Trialist in U21 game

    I think there might be protocols to follow.

    Something urgent needs to happen

    And I would agree with both of you. But the club will have its own considerations to make. For instance we don't know what has been said between the two players and the clubs after the match? They may feel it has been addressed and we move on?

    Yes, do we want to be the club that complains every week?

    Something urgent needs to happen

    I agree it looked like he used his elbow to put it into the net. I have only seen it from one angle though. But handball is one of those rules which they have over complicated by introducing an element of personal interpretation. A couple of things that have to be considered. The ball is...

    Something urgent needs to happen

    I think the onus would be on the aggrieved club to make a complaint and submit any evidence they have? Let's be honest if they opened it up to fans they would still be addressing stuff from games played in October.

    Something urgent needs to happen

    Wasn't it a dive that resulted in a penalty being awarded and a goal scored? I know a dive is a dive, but the resulting consequences have to be taken into consideration. All players and teams dive all over the pitch. They see it as gaining an advantage rather than cheating. The same way as...
