Another frustrating day I feel, Port Vale also have not scored in there last 3 league games. Given it's league two will most likely be a goal fest with stats like that

I read it that Robins is giving Kwame time to play catch up and prove his fitness in the u23's getting 90 mins and training to the most he can. He's missed a lot of football in the last 12 months. I'd not see the benefits of using him off the bench and missing out on vital minutes in the 23's...

I'm all fairness to him he's not gonna get assists if we're lumping the ball to him when a 6'3" centre half is waiting to hold him tight and steal the ball off his head. It's too easy, and that's not his game. Evatt was a prime example of this Saturday. Play the ball to feet and play on the...

Having watched Saturdays game back the second half Vincenti played a slightly more central role and grimmer acted more as the winger. It was here Vincenti was more effective. Kelly also played a lot more in the oppositions half playing some nice balls, I think he actually put the cross in for...

Parallels I was drawing was more how things were not so rosy without each other but together they clicked. Some managers just work better with that one assistant, other's like Fergie change there assistant every few years to keep training and ideas fresh. I'm not suggesting MR is stood there...

Some good points but it was stokes who made the last minute tackle. But your point stands, heads would of dropped and he'd of scored last year

You mean Mr Kipling! Sliced most of his clearances under pressure and rarely his punts forward a sky blue shirt found use of. Distribution was poor

Interesting to watch the match back in full.... Robbie Weir gets smashed by Liam Kelly with a elbow 10 seconds before his ill fated challenge on JJ. We're competing in the dirty nasty side of the game this year

Currently watching the game back at work and Vincenti's chances from headers were not as easy as they looked at the time. He's not up to speed yet and he's admitted that himself I think. Missed a lot of football last year and it's showing so far. Still closest to being out saviour yesterday.

Beavon was a pivotal part of Burtons rise and was the top of a hard working resilient side who got results and held onto them. In league two Beavon scored 6 and Atkins, Mcgirk and Macdonald were the ones getting goals with a heathy return of goals from the defensive unit too as they must of...

Yes, worked with MR at Rotherham, Barnsley and Huddersfield and was his scout at Scunthorpe

Otis may be right and it could well be purely coincidental but tho very unfortunate for Steve Taylor and while his health is more important you cannot help but think he's sorely missed. The whole summer was prepared by these two men with TW but now comes the putting all together to work on a...

Burge 7.5 gained us a point and clean sheet with 2 crucial saves,distribution is still woeful. Could of got a chair out the second half. Grimmer 5 ok nothing more nothing less Willis 4 lost out all afternoon to O'Grady who used his body/experience well. Davis 6 solid in the air, looked ok...

3 league games since they worked together in the technical area and this has all the traits of Brian Clough and Peter Taylor years ago. Clough needed Taylor by his side to be successful. It looks like Robins needs Taylor by his side to bounce ideas off and take ideas from. In the 3 league...

Is he? Does Mark Robins know?? [emoji6]

From the football league paper today these are.

Interesting that they have Chesterfield having 61% of possession..... do goal kicks count?

Hopefully MR will tweak the formation and system after yesterday. Too much goes through Micky Doyle and if it don't Willis lumps it long to the opposition centre half. JJ looks better playing down the left and I'd like to see him play 75% of the game there. Marc McNulty won't have another bad...

Beat me to it.... was just about to start of this. Well done for starting it. Embarrassing scenes yesterday at the final whistle. 2 games in we're wrapping the league up by Christmas, another 3 games later and a idiotic section of the fans start booing the players off and calling them wankers...

Stadium announcer is having a shocker today.
