All a bit doom & gloom here. No confirmation that it's an ACL yet, and just speculation at this stage. Could it not be just ligament damage? Worst case scenario however, out for the season, but surely some hope he'd be back for pre season in July (7 months away) - I am sure JJ came back after...

Fair to say we don’t miss him, but could have done with some kind of replacement just for cover. With Fadz out, if we lose another e.g Rose we’ll be in trouble

He impressed me at the CBS. Looked very dangerous.

Agreed. Vik came into his own own once he was playing the lone role. Robins seemed intent on the Vik / Godden front two at the start of the season, but it has never worked. Godden would be a great back up striker to Vik but the system is best with the one striker. I remember how many howlers...

Apart from Burnley, and possibly Swansea, I haven't seen any team on a par with us this season. Add to that the close-knit squad and Robins management, no reason why we can't push for 2nd place. I said it a few weeks ago, we'll go up, ending 2nd place and pipping Sheff Utd to the automatic...

He’s going to be some player

Thought he would go with the same team, and to be honest I’d rather Burroughs than Kane. Palmer, Tavares, and Waghorn give us good options if it’s not working offensively

Palmer has been great this season and they are easing him back. He picked up an injury in the mini close season, but I would expect to see more of him tonight and over the festive period. Kane can't defend, the amount of goals we conceded last season where he switched off was unreal. Sure...

1-0 City (O'Hare)

Experienced GK (Loan) - If we can move Moore out, and Wilson back as No 2. 1 x CB (Right Footed) 1 x CM (High energy, work horse type) I think with Burroughs, Dabo, Bidwell and Kane, we can get by with our wing backs until the end of the season. Those 3 positions would be my Top 3 to bring in.

We often react well after bad performances and/or results under Robins. Let’s see on Weds.

Although Swansea looked a decent outfit, we were all over them. 3 goals, and at least 4/5 other opportunities. That makes the horror show of the last half hour feel more like a one-off breakdown rather than a superior team finally clicking into gear. We’ve defended so well recently, so to see...

Not sure about that. Plenty of experienced players he has managed well over the last 5 years. Doyle, Kelly, Fadz, etc. He is a strict manager though. Remember an interview with Grimmer and Bayliss (once they’d gone) where they both mentioned this.

Ridiculous. He’s been great this season, playing out of position and having the boo boys on his back after the Sunderland game. His injuries are a concern, but he’s a real prospect. If we lose Hamer or Sheaf through injury or transfer, he will step up (in his true position)

OK only just read the above comments. Kelly should have been on after the 3rd however and Tavarres or Waghorn too.

Shell shocked still. We didn’t fluke a 3-0 lead, we were excellent. Perfect tactics from Robins, nick the ball and flow forward. Swansea are a good side, you could see that (unlike QPR for example), but the way the game changed was startling. For me Robins should have brought on Palmer, Kelly...

Good to see Burroughs get a start again, Eccles picked up a knock I presume? Strong bench too,

Judging by this interview. Not a bloke you'd want to piss off

He will probably need half a season to get fit after so long out, but I wouldn't be averse to having him as a squad player, and a back-up to Rose. He has pace, and experience.

One of the few teams that impressed me last season at the CBS. Good footballing team, who want lots of the ball. It may suit us, rather than a physical defensive team.
