I thought on the whole the ref was excellent tonight, only decisions he got wrong were not awarding us a penalty for handball and not giving a straight red card for the foul on Simms.
Blues have been dreadful since the appointment of Rooney, so has to be back to winning ways for this one. Go with the same starting lineup as against Plymouth with the exception of Simms in for Godden.
This is on Robins, should never have changed a team who won two games on the bounce by bringing in one poor player and one who is nowhere near match fit.
Bizarre starting lineup, Sakamoto has been excellent in the last couple of games playing in his correct position. Ayari has been dreadful so far so don’t get why he starts today.
Palmer and Taveres have returned to training now but will be too early for first team football yet, I would think. I’m not sure about Liam Kelly though.
Edit: Kelly played for 70 minutes in last development squad game.
