    Any lingering thoughts that Dabo may get another contract, were put to bed on Saturday. We need better. I don't think Norton Cuffy offers much more, but he's more of a mystery so he might wriggle free and put an inch perfect cross onto Godden's head. Dabo has never done that. Shame, as he was...

    Kasey Palmer

    Was gutted when he went off against Sunderland. Knew it would be a long injury. Almost as gutted as when O’Hare was carried off at Sheff Utd. That’s how good he has been. Always on the front foot with his running and passing, and he has a bit of an edge too, like Hamer. All this whilst playing...

    Id start Dabo and JWE. If Dabo is having one of those days then bring on BNC. If Dabo is on his game he is a better option. Rest of the selection depends on Sheaf. I would expect he won't make it, and if Allen is out then it will surely be Kelly.

    He's been a bit unlucky not to have at least a few starts this season. He got injured in October and only came back once Godden was back in the squad. He does look like he has a fire in his belly which he didn't have before. Don't think he will get a contract with us, and will almost certainly...

    I'd bring in Jamie Allen for Eccles if Sheaf is fit. If Sheaf isn't fit then Allen in for Godden and switch to the one striker up front. Thought Panzo looked good last night but can't see him displacing Doyle. I'd like to see Walker get a start but I can't see Robins dropping Godden

    This feeling reminds me of the 2nd leg Play Off game at Notts County....Need to start well again as we did at QPR & Blackpool. An early goal will have the Rovers fans turning on their team

    Player Progress

    Even going back to the League 1 days nearly every player has improved under Robins and the coaching of Viveash. Look at Fadz. Slightly dodgy start in L1 but then was great. He was a calamity (like most of the defence) for our first season back in the Championship but since then has moved up a...

    When we beat Blackburn at the CBS Vik celebrated right in front of Hyam when the goal went in. Not sure if there was bad blood between them during the match, or from when Hyam was with us. Always thought Dom was a popular member of the squad. Anyway, as good as Hyam can be, Vik will be a...

    Ainsworth must hate us. We used to always beat Wycombe! QPR were awful, really bad. We played OK but yes 3-0 is flattering. Just watched Blackburn against Hull. Nothing to fear there, but I do worry we’re still not creating enough chances. If we go 1-0 down early on Weds and they dig in, do...

    Godden

    Godden has played best when operating as the lone front man, in League One with the box formation, and (when he was fit) back n the Championship. Godden, supported by O'Hare & Palmer next season wouldn't be too shabby, although if Vik goes then there will be a new first choice striker I am...

    Transfer Rumour Josh Wilson-Esbrand

    Rumours suggest that DaSilva is nailed on, and Bidwell will be off. It nearly happened in January. I guess JWE will be competing with Dasilva for LWB next season then. I like Bidwell but if we're playing with wing backs we need a more offensively minded player

    If Reading get the 'New Manager Bounce in form' then QPR are in deep trouble (with Cardiff) as it looks like Warnock is going to get Huddersfield out of it. Not sure if the importance of the game to them is a good thing for us. Stoke had nothing to play for and murdered us. Crucial we start...

    Yeah maybe for Doyle, as we'll need someone to mark Dykes whose tail will be up after scoring at WBA.

    Transfer Rumour Josh Wilson-Esbrand

    Think he's looked the better of the two Loan WBs. Going forward anyway. Defensively poor but regular game time and coaching could improve that. If Bidwell goes and DaSilva comes in though I am not sure Man City would send him here if he's going to be understudy.

    I'd be tempted to play 4-4-2 Wilson Eccles / McNally / Doyle / Bidwell Norton Cuffy / Sheaf / Hamer / Wilson Esbrand Godden / Vik This will allow Cuffy and Esbrand to concentrate on going forward, and it might help the Godden & Vik partnership to blossom.

    We also dodged one with Marty James who’s been hampered by injuries at Bristol City. Worrying thing is we pushed hard to land both.

    Richard Shaw Testimonial

    Richard Shaw. Always had mixed feelings about him. He was one of Strachan's favourites (along with Paul Williams, and Paul Telfer). However Strachan's loyalty to Williams & Shaw cost us our Premier League place. They weren't good enough. He should of found a top CB to partner Breen in that...

    Worry about JWE defensively, but he looks great going forward. Tough call for Robins with Bidwell on the bench. However, almost certain it will be an unchanged team. Aren't they waiting on a scan for Allen? If it's just heavy bruising he might be in contention. I presume Palmer is out but...

    Gyokeres switches to 'top' agent

    Vik seems incapable of adapting his game. He has been tightly and well marked in the last 2 home games against Stoke and Watford, but he still tries to roll the defender and take on everyone from there. If he released the ball more we'd be more potent. I love him, but I think he's got a little...
