Exactly the player I would be looking at too. Bristol City 'only' paid £300k for him , so any wage shortfall could be sorted by money we'd save on transfer fee (compared with Chaplin) Don't think he fits the bill in terms of the type of player we could add value to though, which seems to be a...

He gives me the jitters because he always seems to take a fraction too long to kick the ball when a striker closes him down... However, I think he will be our no.1 next season and rightly so. The positives in his game outweigh the minuses. I think he has improved e.g. his positioning at free...

Sorry folks, think we'll lose 1-0 tonight... However, I am more optimistic about next season than I have been for a long, long time. Just hope our board have the sense to keep faith in Robins whatever the outcome of tonight.

Enjoyed the description of Lee Burge: 'arms flailing like a malfunctioning windmill'!!!!

JCH's temperament has held him back from playing at a higher level. For the first time in a very long while we have 4 strikers (JCH, Max, Ponti & McNulty) who are worth keeping for next season. I still think we need a beast of a striker (a bit like Lincoln have got) to offer a different option...

BTW I definitely think Exeter should play at their ground, but for obvious reasons I liked Liquid's post... Apart from away ticket allocation, another issue is the amount of time wasting Exeter do by deliberately hoofing the ball out of play on the railway line side of the ground, resulting in...

Know what you mean Otis, but I think our wide players need to focus on actually providing some service to the strikers rather than just protecting the full backs. I realise we may be short in midfield: Reid and Ponti would need to do a lot of running, that's for sure. I suppose what I'm...

I know Robins won't do this, but I'd go 4-2-4 and put the emphasis on just trying to score more goals than them rather than keeping it tight: O'Brien Grimmer Willis Davies Camwell Kelly Doyle Ponticelli Biamou McNulty Reid Probably bring on JCH early in 2nd half if Max is having an...

Voted McNumpty. Even when his confidence has been low he has kept going and got into good positions. Must have been frustrating for him to be partnered with Biamou when Max was struggling to find his feet in L2. I like Doyle and his influence on others but think McNulty has been more classy...

Simeon Jackson: the most disappointing signing in recent years in my book... thought he'd be decent, was very disappointing.... Mind you, I remember thinking that Darius Henderson would be a useful loan at the time! Didn't realise that his legs had completely gone....

We need a new left back next season whatever division we're in... Stokes just doesn't seem to be the same after his injury and Haynes is a liability anywhere near our own box. He can perform as many Cruyff turns as he wants, he is still a shit defender. Always has been, always will be. The...

Just wondering about why Bilal Sayoud has not featured for us at all. Never seems to get a look in despite injury problems which might have given opportunities to him. Now that Reid is back it is difficult to see a way into the team for him. Surplus to requirements or still very much one for...

Agree - he is very involved but often gives the ball away when trying to create something: he might be better often concentrating on defending and letting others focus on the attacking options. He has got a decent shot on him from range too.

Our players looked genuinely shocked by the pen decision - too shocked to react!

Is it just me or does Clive Eakin mistakenly say we're playing Chesterfield pretty much every game?!

Good - No point in letting Colchester know early which of our players have recovered from injury / virus etc.

I think that is a half decent team capable of getting a result. My concern would be McNulty: he has clearly suffered as a result of that virus, according to Robins... Think I'd gamble and try to start him tomorrow if there is any chance he can last an hour, then consider resting him for Saturday

Absolute nonsense. Typical knee-jerk response when things go wrong for us. DiKe is well worth his place in the line-up and he has been unlucky not to get many starts (because Grimmer has been fairly consistent). DiKe's tenacity has already proved valuable this season. That said, good to have...

Exactly what I think. So many times we think we have turned a corner, then reality bites hard. Result isn't the worst thing about yesterday, the injuries are. Can't remember a worse season for injuries: is it just bad luck or is it because League 2 is that extra bit more physical? Maybe...

At the start of the season I was keen to go to this game: glad I didn't manage to get a ticket now... We have been poor but FGR's time-wasting tactics have not helped the game generally. I remember the Doyle / Stephen Hughes combination was not popular - wonder if fans will now start to see...
