Yes it is - but we are not alone. Some teams above us could drop in yet.

Always thought it would be a season long battle defined by injuries. Above the relegation slots will be a fab finish for me.

Injuries are far more likely to happen when players are stepping up a level, are playing on the stretch - not fully fit. Remember our squad stopped playing in March and couldnt train properly due to Covid restrictions. Aston Villa won the league 80/81 and had a massive slice of luck - I think...

You make a lot of assumptions and make recruitment sound easy. I also feel, rather than just see how things pan out - you have already made your mind up and getting in early. Yes everybody gets injuries - but ours do seem to have been key players in key positions. For instance Godden, Walker...

Perhaps a decent attacking mid wasnt available? Sometimes you just have to improve where the opportunity presents itself.

Spot on. What annoys me is certain fans not getting their heads around the step up to this league and our limited resources. They slag off players for not being good enough like it is some revelation - yes we all know that and so does the manager, but it is what we have to work with and...

No. Dion was off pitch behind goal line so not offside. Their goalkeeper started dribbling it in penalty area. So Dion had every right to come back on pitch and make the tackle to score. Their keeper last to play ball so couldnt be off side.

Back end of last season Baka showed some improvement. I suspect hence contract extension along with our limited budget. But he hasnt kicked on this season at all. Personally I would have let him go in the summer.

You forgot Jones injured. Dabo, James and Gyorkeres are unfit due to lack of games. The only fix is to keep playing them. Sometimes you just have to give players a run of games. Players go in and out of form all the time. Every team suffers with it.

And that is what he has been brought into do. It is clear we have lacked experience at this level.

I am not going to judge what he can do and cant do after one game.

Yes. His experience will be invaluable at this level. He will sign in the summer.

I watched Leeds in the 70's win the old First Division playing abysmal stuff.

New signing has been on bench behind two good strikers at Swansea. He needs games. Starting him on bench would have achieved nothing. We have to back him and play him from start over 5 or 6 games. Bring him off when knackered.

Looking at the grand scheme of things - away at Reading - do we really have to win that? Now children can we all collect the toys and put them back in the box. Then we can all go home to bed.

He wasnt far off winning it. But he was left totally open and had to make a decision.

The irony is a lot of your comments are pointless dives after the event.

I think some of our fans have. One switched off after 46 minutes. We were still in the game then. Lots of fans criticising Robins - but their theories never get tested. Their answer is always play two up front. But it really isnt that simple

Yes because we have a League 1 side playing in the Championship. Relegation battle from start of season until the end. It was always going to be that way.
