Return to the box! Allen and Sakamoto as AM's, Simms lone striker. Kitching for Binks. Possibly Kelly for Eccles.

Have to say, I’m not getting the total love in with MVE. Was expecting this lightning fast wing back, but I don’t think he’s THAT quick and he seems a little conservative at times. Definitely a great prospect. Thought Kitching oozed class against Norwich. He needs to play. Binks looked shaky...

Yeah, not ready, or thinks he’s doing us a favour coming here. Strange signing. Doesn’t seem a Robins kind of player. Palmer puts in double the work and he’s considered lazy!

Fiasco? Utterly dominant for 35 mins, and then it was 50-50. Did they have any major chances after scoring? It wasn't great, but we deserved a least a point. Hardly a fiasco.

He has to start for me. For Ayari, and move Allen further forward.

Reading Robin's pre match interview I don't think any of the 4 will be involved tomorrow. Bit gutted, as I worry about a midfield 3 of Eccles, Allen & Ayari

Remember when BBC and ITV had pre match coverage from 9am. it was a national event, whether you liked football or not. Now it’s one of 2 cup competitions . Oh, you get to play at Wembley. Even if you’re semi finalists. Game will kick off at 5.20pm just so the EPL games are all done with. The...

Think the absence/return of O’Hare has been underplayed. For me, always our best player. Having him back to full working order (Mid December say) and linking with Dasilva, Sakamoto, Simms, Ayari and Palmer will be a huge moment in our season

With all of those players back, we do have a bloody good squad. Robins must be thinking to go back to the box formation. O'Hare / Palmer / Ayari / Allen competing for the 2 AM positions. Sheaf / Eccles / Kelly / Lats for the DM roles.

Lati in at DM for Ayari, so we can push Allen further forward, Godden for Wright & Van Ewijk for Sakamoto. Although I would prefer Sakamoto & Allen as AMs behind Simms. Sheaf & O'Hare on the bench?

Neil Lennon - Atkinson was in for him. He chose Leicester over us. Would of been a great signing

Dasilva and Van Ewijk have been the best of the new players for me. Such a classy player, brilliant first touch and close control. We might lose something defensively, but he's so much better going forward. Once O'Hare & Palmer are back I think we'll see the best of Dasilva

Feared the worst today, but that intensity to find a equaliser was great. Once O’Hare, Palmer and Sheaf are back we are going to be a seriously good side. Sakamoto is so entertaining to watch.

Since we lost O’Hare on Boxing Day, I’m struggling to think of many home games where we’ve played anyone off the park. We do let teams onto us and then counter. When it doesn’t work you get games like Stoke last season and shit patches of play this season (Huddersfield 2nd half) . We play our...

Kelly was probably the pick of our players last night before he got injured. At least we just have one more game to play, and I would hope Sheaf will be back for Bristol. I would move Lats in midfield with Eccles and bring Sakamoto in at RWB but pretty sure it will Allen, Eccles and Ayari in...

Liked Simms from the start. You could see he was short of match practice in those early games this season. Now he’s getting into stride. Much quicker than I thought he would be, and he’s got a power shot. Cyrille Regis Mark ll.

We could play Bidwell and Da Silva as LB & LM, then Van Ewijk and Sakamoto as RB and RM. Problem is if any of those get injured we're screwed. We don't have wingers / wide midfielders and we're already playing Da Slilva out of position.by switching it up. Van Ewijk is out for the next few games...

I'd throw in Wegerle too. Think we were all gutted to lose Gallacher in the swap deal, so a hard start for Roy. He came good though, and on his day one of the best in the league. Didn't seem to click with Atkinson though and was quietly sold.

Agreed. Ayari was anonymous on Monday apart from the goal, and the 2 striker formation is not working. If we had the box with Kelly & Eccles in DM, and Allen and Ayari / Sakamoto in AM, with Simms up front we'd be better. Then in a few weeks we'd have Sheaf, Palmer and O'Hare back

So we're giving up on the new signings then? Da Silva and Van Ewijk have been excellent. Bobby Thomas & Hadji Wright were being raved about after the first 3-4 games. They have hit bad form, that's it. Sakamoto has looked good, as has Lats. Simms is starting to pick up. Kitching and Collins...
