Palmer for Godden, Rose for Doyle. Back to the box formation now we have decent midfield options with Hamer and Kelly back

As if Robins would ever make that change. I agree with you though

We knew Palmer was a gamble, with his lack of games and problems with previous managers. However, we saw yesterday how talented he is, he has also surprised me how hard he works. He won lots of tackles, and has an edge to his game. I mean, it can’t be easy playing under Nigel bloody Pearson.

I was watching Godden a lot today. He works bloody hard, not just the clinical finisher. He hasn’t got blistering pace, but he never did. I don’t think it works with Vik as a partnership. Godden needs to be fed, and without O’Hare, Hamer and Palmer (up until today) he’s not going to get those...

How Palmer gets anything less than an 8 is beyond me. His clever passing and flicks were brilliant. Very excited to see him and O’Hare link up soon. Bit worried about this Vik & Godden partnership. Not working, and Godden hasn’t scored for 4 games. Surely he will go back to the box when O’Hare...

Hope Robins starts Palmer, behind Vik & Godden. Jamie Allen & Sheaf in the middle. Though wouldn't surprise me if he gives Eccles a start and pushes Allen further forward (Yikes). Everyone crying out for Palmer & Tavarres after 10 minutes.

To the rumour of a interested party in CCFC & WASPS. Makes perfect sense. They get the CBS, and 2 sporting teams. I am sure they would be aware there would be more money making potential in the football club, decent investment and we could have a good go at the Premiership. Any investor will...

Harsh. He played a crucial role at the end of our first season back in the Championship, along with Marty James in keeping us up. He missed most of last season, but made Godden’s goal against Bristol City with a sublime pass. He was also excellent against Stoke in the last game of the season. I...

Would imagine it will be team that ended the match at Luton. Personally I would bring in Palmer for Godden and use the box system, but can't see Robins doing that. Desperately need a right footed centre half now that Rose could be out.

I think Palmer has looked good - He helped change the game at Sunderland, and won the penalty at Hull. As a previous poster said above, he was our best player at Norwich in the 1st half. That's pretty much all the games he has played. We knew he would need time to get up to fitness, so the...

1st half was like a flashback from our first six months in the Championship. Looking lively going forward, but conceding (or looking like conceding) every time the opponent gets near our box. Once Luton got their 2nd we became sloppy and were lucky not to go in further behind at half time. 2nd...

Kane was responsible for loads of goals conceded last season, switching off and letting players running off him. Pretty sure that's part of the reason Robins doesn't fancy him anymore. We know Dabo takes time to get into his stride, but once he's on form, he's better than Kane easily. I...

League 2 season, December 2017

Horrible team, and an even worse manager. Small, mouthy Welshman constantly on at the officials. I think he still hates us after we won there during the League 2 season. We have to really up for this, in terms of the physicality that Luton will throw at us. If we can deal with that, and earn...

Oggy is great on CWR as co-commentator. Quite insightful, and nice to have a City legend involved.

The playing of the National Anthem and a 2 minute silence before every EFL & EPL game would be a fitting tribute. However, it seems the Govt are passing the buck here, the football authorities will probably postpone all games. However people will still go to pubs, shops, restaurants, clubs as...

Totally agree. If they locked down the whole country this weekend, then I can understand cancelling the football, but if shops, cinemas etc are opening it seems unfair to postpone sport only.

Apart from Millwall though, we haven't played well at all. We got going a bit at Sunderland 2nd half, but against Hull, Preston and Norwich we were really under par

Would be tempted to try Panzo in the middle. And looking at that team, it's not bad at all, it's just too many players are off form at the moment. If Dabo, Hamer and Vik get back to their normal levels we have a good chance here.

Looking back at first goal, a quicker CB may of got a challenge in on Pukki. I love Fadz, but we’ve been leaking shit, soft goals since we’ve come up. Yesterday’s game reminds me of our first season up. Before their 2nd we were we well in the game, then just hand then the 2nd goal from nothing.
