Eccles MOM? 😳. Great player but far from his best today. Dasilva , Thomas and Simms all 8. Excellent. Binks was playing some suicidal passes at times. Thought Tavares did alright, with little service. Wright, an off day but always involved .

Who both played in our run in last season. People underestimate Kelly. Yes his injuries have been bad, but he’s played in 3 divisions for us. His performances in The Boro playoff games last season were top drawer.

No problem with Simms, links play well, strong and pacey once he gets going. He's missed some chances (but not THAT many), and no more than Godden. He also offers more than Godden in terms of running in behind, and playing the lone target man role (see Leeds away).

Strange regarding Kelly. He was terrible against Wrexham last season, but then when he came back into the team at the tail end of the season he was excellent. When he played earlier this season he was also decent. Surprised he hasn't had some minutes recently, espeically with Sheaf and then...

I don't think Godden has helped himself over the last 2 seasons. He had a fallout with Vik (which saw both dropped against Norwich last season) - Then when he came back into the side at the end of last season, he wasn't great, and didn't score much. Not necessarily his fault, as he was played as...

Lati at RB to give MVE a rest. O'Hare for Palmer Wright for Da Silva Sakamoto for Godden, and move Simms to the central role. Eccles & Kelly in CM. Torp to get a rest. Otherwise unchanged.

Agreed. As you say, possibly our 4 best players not starting last night. If you'd taken Hamer, Vik, Sheaf & Doyle out of our team last season, and played that game last night, we would of got nothing.

I feel for Godden, and I am not convinced it's wholly down to him. Neither Simms or Wright have been successful in that central role in our new system, and it seems the position demands good link up play, in an almost False 9 role. This is not Godden's style, so he ends up having to drop deep...

I thought we did OK last night. Should of been 1, maybe 2 goals up by half time. We were disappointing 2nd half, but still equalized twice. City teams of the past (when in the Championship) would of rolled over and lost that game. For me, we haven't played well for the last 6 games since the...

Wouldn't bet against a front 3 of Wright, Godden & Simms. Palmer to start at AM. O'Hare (injured or not) & Sakamoto rested.

Robins has had a couple of digs over the last couple of weeks. Firstly, not getting Mason-Clark, and that leaving us short. Our squad quality and number has improved this season, but if we lost MVE and Sakamoto for any length of time, we would struggle. Probably why Robins was desperate to get...

Think we need to start with a solid lineup for this one. Frustrate them, and then start picking them off later in the game. Kitching Thomas & Bidwell back into the defense. I'd consider Eccles & Kelly starting in midfield and give Torp a rest Palmer AM Simms, Wright & Godden as the front 3...

Thought we were well off our game today. Especially 1st half. We start like that against Leeds or Ipswich they’ll be 3-0 up. Went through the gears but was thankful for the final whistle.

With Allen & Sheaf out, Kelly is going to be needed over the next few weeks. He needs game time. Was excellent earlier in the season

Robins must be looking at the fact we have 3 games in 6 days. Allen & Sheaf out until mid March too. I think Sakamoto has looked a little jaded since the Leicester game. I'd rest him until Stoke. I'd start Kelly in CM, with Torp, and Simms wide right on Sunday. Wright, Simms & Palmer could...

If we go up, he will stay. I have no doubt about that.

One of my favourite bands

That’s really good. The fact one of his team mates is telling him to stay….

As you were

Really? In December & Jan, we won away at Sunderland, Sheff Weds, Mboro and got a point at Leeds. We only lost at Ipswich (prior to our run) and Norwich on Sat. I thought we looked decent going forward against Norwich, but looked wide open at times when they came at us, especially 1st haf...
