Next weekend - assuming no Jones, Allassani or Willis Burge Grimmer Davies Hyam Brown Ogogo Kelly Bayliss Andreu AB Hiwula

Regardless of whether we have the mythical beast a 20 goal striker, we appear to have an odd mix up front. This applies to Hiwula as much as AB. We have only one goal from a free kick so far. Biamou (who I like) has gone from being an optional extra in D1 to compulsory. That means Hiwula and AB...

I was at an away game at Brentford 4 years ago, when the guy next to me was vein bustingly apoplectic about how bad we were, to the extent that I thought he would have a seizure and we would have to call an ambulance. For the life of me I could not work why he had driven 2 hours to get there to...

We owe a thanks to M-D for the corner kick leading to the first goal against Stoke. It was virtually his first kick and it was dead on the mark for Davies to head back - a marked change from normal. He actually looked promising that day, but just never did much more

There are more problems than substitutions we are allowed

Changes - Biamou and Kelly for Hiwalu and Doyle

then why do you bother to read this blog-that is what it is all about.

The wisdom of the crowds. You are on your own

Stirling was the worst scoring player in the player ratings last week - averaged 5.4, and nothing better than a 6

I am not sure that the SISU model as of now this minute is that different to most clubs without a sugar-daddy. Aren't most L1 L2 clubs are living on loan players, frees, and small fees deferred over time, with the occasional windfall from a sale to a big club? Sunderland are an exception...

Same as Scunthorpe fro me, except Davies for Hyam, assuming Burge is stillout We need to give the new guys time to bed in and play with the existing crew. Badly need Kelly back to replace Doyle to put some more forward drive in to central midfield A better bench than last time with more...

In a fair world, Robins would get the smaller upfront portion of a sale, because he has to fill the immediate hole in his squad. The club gets the larger sell on figure for debt and/or overheads as it is return on investment and also is the future rather than present value. I suspect - but do...

less and less chance

and Jones / Allassani for Bayliss when he is sold - no worse and maybe more effective

Kelly for Doyle when he returns

Except if you look back thro the player ratings there is a common thread that he is clearly talented but does not impact the game enough - which might be partly down to the talent level of those around him. In other words he was not making a decisive contribution to the game.

I am in a minority but I have always thought Bayliss was worth much more value to the club as a sale than as a player

We need to sell a Bayliss a year to rise up the League

A front duo of Hiwalu and Bakayoko is going to test the pronunciation of the commentators, and we could see this at the weekend

and I'll scratch your eyes out if you say different
