Forest Green Rovers away is what I'd like - such a strange (but lovely) setting for a league ground.

Bet that's what Robins is thinking right now too...

For 2nd consecutive game, managed to fall asleep while listening to 2nd half 'performance'...

Exactly the side I'd go for, though Robins might give McNulty a run out to build his fitness again... Is Nazon ineligible for this /has he already joined his team on international duty?

Any news on Stokes injury? I'd drop Devon KE to bench, move Duke out wide and bring McNulty back in for this one.

Burge 6.5 quiet night Grimmer 5 Like him, but gave ball away a lot Stokes 6 Got skinned a couple of times but generally solid McDonald 7.5 Just puts ball out without fuss if it;s needed Willis 6 Ok but some poor clearances Doyle 7.5 Influential. His age showed as younger players drove past him...

100% agree. Davies is going to be very useful this year against teams who lump it up to the big men up front. Willis should not be an automatic starter in my book. If opposition has a pacy striker, he should play though.

I find some match ratings of our players on here a bit extreme at times... I think a lot of frustration stems from the fact that we are average (W2 D1 L2) at the moment, but we have the potential to be a lot better than that. Positives from yesterday: Lee Burge saved a free kick brilliantly...

Though I wouldn't have picked McNulty yesterday, he deserves credit for not hiding when things are not going his way... Yes, he is missing relatively easy chances, but he is not shirking responsibility. Having been a striker who must have gone through tough spells himself, Robins seems to...

Am in disbelief about some fans see him as a 'messiah' ... I am not disputing that he is a committed player with a lot of technical ability for L2, but he is well past his best now. I suspect Kenny Jackett moved him into the middle because he was not providing as much of a threat down the...

Sadly, I'm with you on that one... I find the experience of going to the Ricoh mind-numbing (especially waiting for a bus back to the centre afterwards by Tesco) I definitely prefer away days by a country mile.

Looking back at the thread titIe, I made a conscious decision to join a country walking group 3 years ago and to concentrate on going on walks on Saturdays rather than watch City / listen at home. Still care, always will, but not prepared to spend so much time / energy / money supporting City as...

Agree, great post. Yeovil panicked on a few occasions when the Duck just ran at them (was cynically hacked down from behind for a well deserved yellow at one point) and we saw what he can do briefly in the first game. A free role would be ideal for him and it would create space for others. Spot...

In a way it's good that we have the cup game to maybe experiment a little. Agree that the Duck could be an option up front if Kwame is unavailable. He is strong, but not sure how good he is in the air... Not too despondent this morning: we have got options in our squad to change things around a...

O'Brien - 5 Grimmer - 5.5 Stokes - 6 Willis - 7 Hyam - 6.5 (bit of an unsung hero for us, we're lucky to have a half decent replacement when McDonald is out) Jones - 6 Duck - 6 (not sure about his fitness level - seems to do something useful then doesn't want to receive the ball for another 5...

Also worth saying that our 1st half performance was not that bad at all (Yeovil only created one real chance of their own - we gifted them their 1st goal). 2nd half was poor though, we made unnecessary errors and some players lacked urgency.

Prefect, we agree on one key thing: McNulty's performance was worrying today - I am convinced he dived to try to win a pen. I don't think he is useless by any means, but I think his confidence is shot. So, within our current squad, I'd say Kwame Thomas should get a run out ahead of him next game...

Just got back to Bristol... We now have an average start to the season W2 D0 L2... so let's not go overboard with negativity, eh... O'Brien definitely at fault for 1st goal, rush of blood to the head... I like Jack Grimmer but he constantly backed off and allowed his man to turn, whcih was...

Reading all the score predictions before the game made me feel uneasy... though yesterday was poor (especially distribution wise), we should take heart that we still could have drawn despite playing badly (a lot of keepers would not have saved Andreu's volley). As others have suggested, we will...
