He was good (not outstanding) in that first season back up in The Championship. I'd argue Liam Kelly's return to fitness was equally important in us staying up that season. 1 year deal at most. Would add numbers in CM, but I don't think he's any better than Josh Eccles., and I presume we'll...

Disappointing start, and the players (with the exception of MVE) look well below par. You know it will click, as it did last season, and the season before and then we'll go. 1st half against Oxford was the level I expect every game. It's frustrating, but the best teams in this division tend...

If Sheaf is not fit. Play Lati in at DM, with Torp, Eccles or Rudoni for the more advanced CM roles. We need more bite in there, and Watford are going to come at us.

Considering Saka could be out for Watford, I think BTA & Bassette deserve a start, so most likely Simms will need to drop out. Pray that Sheaf is back too.

Said he will consider it over the course of the season

I think this team (and formation) would get us results. Torp playing a little further ahead of Sheaf & Rudoni. C buildlineup.com

With Godden gone, Thomas-Asante was a major upgrade . All good. To then bring in Bassette, who is clearly a CF (not a winger) was bizarre. I think the club were expecting a possible move for Simms or Wright and made sure they had the adequate cover. Talk of 3 bids turned down on deadline day…

Wright needs to be played down the middle now. He looks lively this season, but when he was tackling an attacker on the edge our box against Norwich I was shaking my head. What’s our most talented attacker doing being back there in a home in a winnable home game that is currently 0-0. Play him...

Last season our performances were questionable in the league after the Leicester win in January (apart from Leeds game). Would be interested to know our stats post Leicester at home last season, league only.

Not a good look this. 1 half of decent football (against Oxford) this season. Slow and toothless, not winning that 2nd ball. Aimless long balls after passing it around the centre backs. Didn’t see this when Viveash was here

We obviously had targets and couldn’t get it over the line. Still have the loan market & freebies. We have 6 players that can play CM. Sheaf Eccles Allen Torp Rudoni Lati

Robins clearly likes Palmer but his comments the other day were strange. + last year of his deal and from all accounts a high earner. I love KP and have defended him, but if it means we can bring in that CM, and maybe another then makes sense. Bassette's signing made it clear someone was going...

Kitching impressive again tonight. Starting to think we should look at thle box formation again. Thomas Kitching & Binks (CBs) MVE & Dasilva (WBs) Sheaf Torp / New signing Sakamoto. Rudoni Wright

Oxford are clearly well coached, but have played deep from the start, content to play on the counter. They’ve defended well to be fair.

The least of our problems is Ellis Simms. He's actiually looked quite lively in the few moments he has the ball in dangerous positions. 2 poor away performances, where he's starved of anything. 1 league cup win (where he scored the winner) and a home game where he was quiet but not poor...

And this was a No.4

Have a feeling that’s what hat Robins wants. Sheaf & Rudoni at CM.

Simms did OK today. Wright & Sakamoto were no better and Asante fluffed a chance too. Midfield’s not working at all.

What’s annoying is that Bristol looked decent, but only created chances from our errors or set pieces. Again we were lethargic. The subs helped (Palmer anyway). We got absolutely nowhere near the level of the Oxford game. Midfield horribly exposed. Rudoni & Torp disappointing and that’s one of...

Robins had been chasing Walker the season before too but he chose Lincoln. Had Robins got Walker, we probably wouldn't of signed Godden.... Walker never felt like a Robins player. He was a finisher, but didn't work hard enough and wasn't paticulary physical or pacey
