To be fair, we were so flat and passive on Saturday, he probably thinks they need another game. Players have 8 days rest after Friday night.

That's the team I'd play - With Wright, Allen, Eccles & BTS playing an hour, and giving game time to Obikwu, and perhaps young Dausch as well.

Was never sold on Norton-Cuffy. Reminded me of Diuijon Stelong. Raw, but was coached ;by us) to be a solid RB /RWB. Both had pace and athleticism. Neither offered anything going forward. Norton Cuffy would dribble past a few players and end up in the centre circle.

Hamer’s celebration on Friday night after scoring was probably more about him knowing he’ll get a move now! Hi Callum, Bye Callum.

Back up to Rudoni, can play wide too, and covers additional positions in different formations. He makes things happen. Should of been on at HT for me on Sat

We have to play 4 that played on Sat. Lati at RB Thomas CB Otherwise I'd go with that team, and give Obikwu at least 45 mins

Agree 100%. Sheaf & Eccles are 2 of MR’s favourites. I can only assume Eccles had a knock. If that was the case would of preferred Lati at DM with Allen & Torp more advanced

We have needed that dynamic midfielder since Hamer left. Was the key position for me this summer.

Rudoni 7 Van Ewijk 7 Thomas 5 Torp 5 The rest all 6. No urgency, even in injury time. Not a good look with the new coaching staff, and expectations on the rise. We dominated the ball & most of the match after 30 mins but created f*ck all. Our best chance, and move came after 90 seconds.

Writing this before reading the comments before. Was immediately worried by that midfield. Eccles has to start if Sheaf is out. I thought Allen did ok actually (but, playing out of position) Torp wasn’t at the races. We get on top after 30 mins, but wasted possession and didn’t create enough...

If Sheaf goes, I am sure we will be ready with his replacement. Madsen sounds like he may already be coming in anyway. Same for Wright. (We've been linked with wingers all through the summer) Don't want either to go, but if we get 11M+ for Sheaf, or 13-15M for Wright then that will be it...

Collins looked the better keeper when he came into the team last season. Wilson dropped a couple of clangers but was possibly a little unlucky to lose his place at that point. Some of the goals that Collins let in from March onwards were ridiculous though. I'd keep Wilson. You don't win the...

Binks is quicker, more graceful, and a better passer (although they are both good distributors). Kitching is more of a 'Defender'. Gets stuck in more and is stronger. Will be a real battle between those two, both excellent players in my view.

Unfairly lumped in with those journeymen managers of a decade ago (Pulis, Pardew, Allardyce, Bruce etc). Keeping Everton up the last 2 seasons with all the cr*p he's had to deal with is a great achievement. If Robins was ever to leave, I would have him here.

Thought he was really good against Stevenage.

That Sheff U game at the Ricoh. Venus in charge, team full of loans who didn't give a sh*t, pitch protest which only brought negative publicity. Knew then we were down.

Tavares is a quick striker, and from what we've seen a good finisher. With the right setup he could be useful, but he won't be able to play down the middle of his own. He did a fair job at RW at the end of last season, but he'll be nowhere near the team if that's now considered his position...

It was clear something happened in January, just after his flurry of goals and return to form. Either someone came in with an offer, and the club rejected it, or he told the club he was definitely leaving at the end of the season, and Robins benched him as a result of that. I tend to...

BNC? I remember his loan. He wasn't bad, and was solid defensively by the end of the season (playing at RWB) but I just remember his wandering runs where he'd beat 2 or 3 defenders, but end up in the center circle

Nope key player for me. Torp seems to injury prone, and like Allen is more of a CM / No.8 than an AM/No.10 EMC is more of a wide man isn't he? I'm sure he's been brought in to play wide. KP may not be a starter but he's a great option off the bench. Palmer & O'Hare between them scored or...
