    Jodi Jones impact

    I don't think a midfield of JJ/Bayliss/Doyle/Thomas is too lightweight, Jones battles back, watch the highlights video above and you'll see the amount of time he nicks the ball and starts a counter attack, he'll be defending against wingers or wing backs so pace will be key in tracking back, not...

    Match Thread Bristol Rovers v Coventry City match thread Saturday 22 Sep

    Keep the same team as Saturday, Shipley didn't have the best game v Barnsley but this will be a game won by hard work and most likely a scrappy deflected goal. Expect us to keep our shape and not be overly expansive in the first 45, then have a good go in the second.

    Yep, gives the defenders something else to think about, if he pulls the trigger a couple of times early doors they will look to close him down for the rest of the game opening up more space to Chap/JCH through

    Think NE will work it out, they always do. They started 2-2 last year and then went 11-1 through the remainder. Came up against a very good and ballsy Jags team, would be surprised to see a repeat of that fixture as the AFC Championship match.

    Let them, they'll realise after a season that Saturdays don't work for them either and then they'll buzz off to another city.

    Keeping the OLine healthy will be imperative, need to be getting 12+ games out of Trent Schreff and Moses, Alex Smith is very experienced and with time behind a strong OL should be able to move the ball. I Expect big things from Chris Thompson this year, Smith got the best out of Kareem Hunt in...

    There has not been a repeat winner in the East since Philly did it in the McNabb Era. Don't think there is much between Ny and Dallas, with Barkley, Zeke and Ajayi in the division it could come down to who can stop the run in those divisional games. The Redskins probably have enough to stop the...

    Luke Thomas

    Need to keep calm over his substitute appearance, he looked to have a certain class, showed good vision in picking out Shipley and looked to run at their defenders. Both he and Shipley came on against tired defenders, a team down to 10 men and who were overcommitting to find an equalizer...

    Tom Bayliss

    Good to understand a bit of the context, once the thrown in is easily taken Hiwulu is definitely exposed in a 2 on 1 situation, I would suggest he should be getting more support from Doyle, Mason cant really push up too far as its a throw in and their two forwards, who cant be offside, have set...

    Tom Bayliss

    It's difficult to tell the context of a screenshot like that as you don't know what's happened before which would explain our positioning, looks to me like a clearance has been made and they've taken a quick throw in, our defence is in the process of pushing up, as is the midfield that are on...

    Tom Bayliss

    As I've said, we must give them time to get up and running and I am by no means writing them off, just pointing out that to say they've not had chances is incorrect. Interestingly for me, last season McNulty was Robins man, even during his dry spell at the start Robins was proclaiming "stick...

    Tom Bayliss

    Small sample size currently but Bayliss laid chances on a plate for Bakayoko (tried to clip it over the keeper, could have gone round) and Hiwulu (awful first touch) at Wimbledon. We have created openings and chances in the first two league games which haven't been finished. Have to give them...
