We were poor in that 1st leg against Notts. Soft penalty too. Come the 2nd leg it was like a completely different team.

Sheaf, Allen, Panzo, Dabo & Wilson Esbrand - I think there's some quality there. Main problem is our injuries to attacking players (Tavares, O'Hare, Palmer & Walker) which restricts game-changing subs Robins can make. Hopefully Palmer might make the bench on Weds.

Robins clearly had his mind on the 2nd leg, and probably thinks we can win the tie that way. Instruction was not to lose yesterday which we achieved. If the away leg was always going to be tough he would of sent us out to win the game yesterday.

Robins was asked about Palmer around 10 days ago, and he gave a strange answer along the lines of "I don't know". Immediately I thought he might be close to fitness. We have missed him a lot since that Sunderland game. Would be great if he could be involved on Weds

Reasonably happy with that. After 20-25 mins Robins changed things (tactically) and we looked the better team. We’re a stronger team away from home anyway . Looked like both teams played it as a warm up for Wednesday night.

Tavares the last I would say. However, League 1 & 2 gave us more chance to give these players first team minutes. We can’t be throwing in a Development CB into 10 games in The Championship

It's dangerous for Boro that Vik has had a slight downturn in form in the last few games apart from the pen he wrestled from Godden againt Brum. Hopefully saving his best form for these final 3 games.

It's clear Godden is a 'doing a job' for the team in the absence of O'Hare & Palmer. He would be better as the lone striker or in a 2 with a natural no 10 to provide chances for him. In this system he's supporting Vik, and having to do stuff that is not his natural game. Clearly Robins doesn't...

Sheaf for Eccles and Allen for Godden. Think we got overrun in midfield today after we scored. Feels harsh on Eccles but Sheaf is so essential to how we play. Still not convinced by Godden & Vik together.

Kelly has added that streak of nastiness to our midfield. Perfect for this run in and more importantly for the upcoming matches. He’s had a knack of coming back into the team at the tail end of he campaign , and influencing important results. League 2 Promotion,1st season in The Championship...

Good performance. Boro looked decent in the 2nd half and it’s going to be a tough Semi Final.

A half decent manager would have got us promotion with the budget Coleman had. His rambling post match interviews were torturous.

Loved that kit.

Surely it’s time for the Brown kit now. Don’t like any red on the CCFC shirt

Robins tight-lipped on Sheaf. I think he's fit to play. Also he gave a vague answer last week about Kasey Palmer. Wouldn't surprise me to see him involved in the Play Off games.

Would prefer Luton in the final. If we played them in the knock out stage they would set up not to lose at the CBS, and they do that very well. Then we would need a result at their place where we've leaked in 10 goals in 3 visits since being back in the Championship

Alex Ferguson’s management has definitely influenced Robins. Utd at their best were all about devastating counter attacks at speed. We are at our best playing that way. Also Robins is notoriously strict, and as we have seen takes absolutely no shit. Of all Ferguson’s ex players who moved into...

Stars are all aligning, what with our rivals losing this week, and now the CBS future sorted (for 5 years anyway). Don't blow it tomorrow City. Oh, and.....Come on Blackpool

Scenario - Play Off Final against Boro. Tight game, then in the 89th minute a City player is sent clean through on goal with only the keeper to beat. Surely you would pick Matty Godden to be that player.

Each player is different, and before last July he never got inured despite being kicked around for 3 seasons. I would think the idea will be to give him a few run outs in July (pre season) or August (substitute appearances). I think he'll be starting come September.
