You can see how little Robins has to play with for the remaining 5 games. With Allen, Tavares, O'Hare & Palmer all out we have no players that can play as support strikers, No 10's, wide forwards etc. McGuire seems to be just making up the numbers and will be off in May. I think it's almost...

Thought he looked fantastic at LWB (at Watford) but not so convincing at RWB. Didn't help himself in the game against Wrexham in January and seems to have had limited options since then. Seen enough to think he would be an adequate back up for WB next season.

Strange game. We were exposed almost every time Watford attacked (including 2nd half) but competed well and our midfield got on top. You can see how badly we miss O’Hare, Palmer and Allen. What a freaking amazing finish from Godden. Matty has been getting some criticism whilst playing out of...

On the basis that Vik goes in the summer, along with Walker. we sign a top centre forward, who plays the lone role With O’Hare / Palmer / Allen competing for the attacking midfield slots. Godden is more than good enough to be the super sub / back up.

Everyone was utter shit in the first half apart from perhaps Wilson who made 2 great saves, but probably should of done more for the 1st goal seeing it back. I thought Eccles was probably the pick of our midfield 1st half but he got hooked off at half time so Robins obviously didn't agree. I...

I think QPR will have enough to pull clear, and I think Huddersfield and Blackpool will escape. Wigan, Reading and Cardiff to drop for me.

Still can’t believe we’re not giving Rus a spot on the bench, after all he’s a No10. Give him a little game time. If he’s not up to it then fair enough. He’s 20, so should be knocking on the door. Instead we’re trying Howley or McGuire there which is not their natural positions

Yep, Vik had a long ranger, and a shot that the keeper scrambled back for at 0-2 down, + Dabo's curling effort. If one of those had gone in it would of changed the game. Stoke would of sat back and defended their lead.

Allen for Godden would be my only change. Back to 5 in midfield. Crucial game, and I am not sure I trust BNC to start ahead of Dabo despite Dabo's poor form. playing Godden & Vik again would be suicide against a team that will keep the ball. If Robins feels a change of shape is needed, maybe...

Robins said he was on the grass this week, but probably not quite ready. Would expect him to be available for Swansea.

If that happens, then we'll beat Swansea and Watford and still be in the mix for the last 5 games

All 3 of them will be big players next season. Yes and that includes Tavares. Got a feeling that lad will be a great player. If Vik goes then Tavares and Godden will need to step up. Unless Walker bangs in 5 in the last 8 games and we give him an extension

Yes, I remember that now. Horrible. Wasn't he hit by the Arsenal team bus as it entered Highfield Road?

As everyone knows, we are capable of beating all of the 8 teams left we have to play. It's about how Robins sets the mentality of the players. We should be beating Stoke at home, but being CCFC, we might lose that one and then smash Swansea and Watford, and be right back in it

I remember our first game after he left was a 0-1 defeat at Highfield Road against Arsenal. We battled hard, but clearly missed big Dion. Got back to the car and heard he smashed a hattrick on his debut for Villa. Crushing. To be fair after that Strachan got Whelan & Huckerby working well as a...

Regis and Gallacher. I think these 2 would also be as effective these days as they were then. Perhaps not the best finishers compared to Quinn, Dublin & Gibson but both technically excellent with pace and skill

Yes a tough game. We didn't play our best against Hull a few weeks back, when expectations were high, and I still remember that Bournemouth game last season off the back of the 3-1 win at Fulham. If they nullify Vik which I am sure they will be working on, and without O'Hare and Palmer I am...

Adam Armstrong was terrific for half a season under Mowbray. Then the January window and the sale of Maddison sucked the life out of the team, and he like many others wasn't the same.

I think Walker deserves to start, he did well at Blackpool. So unchanged for me. Allen & Godden to be introduced if we need a goal. Dabo was excellent against Huddersfield and Hull so give him another chance for this one. Can't see a lot of goals in this one. 1-0 COV.

Moyes is unfairly lumped in with the old bully boy dinosaurs like Allardyce, Pullis & Bruce. He worked miracles at Everton with a tight budget, got them into Europe. He was given less than a year at Man U which was unfair, and to be following Ferguson was an almost impossible task (whoever you...
