    Coincided with the loss of form that season. Coincidence or a measure of the effect he had on the team? I particular remember the game against Shrewsbury that season where we were 2-0 down at half time. JOB came on as a sub at the start of the half and completely changed the game as we won 3-2.

    I would say are best performance of the season. We didn’t make anywhere near the chances we did against Scunthorpe or Rochdale but he opposition was that much better. I think that Barnsley will be one of the teams to watch in this league this season so to match them and to then better them in...

    I loved watching O’Brien. Exciting player who made things happen. Created chances and scored goals.

    I thought they looked good. Much better than Scunthorpe or Rochdale who somehow managed to beat us. I thought we looked even better however! Barnsley the best team who have played at the Ricoh apart from us this season.

    Think he’s more knowledgable than you or them.

    I liked him. Good skilful player who could pick a pass, score a goal and played as though he cared.

    Bakayoko is the new Leon Best...

    No, he didn’t score enough but he made things happen for the team and provided opportunities for others.

    I can’t remember seeing him for Walsall when they have played us but that is not unusual as I watch games through metaphorical Sky Blue glasses. For us I have seen him play 3 full games (counting Blackpool as a full game, it wasn’t quite), and a couple of bit part appearances. He was poor at...

    I think Lucas was a really good player for us. Hardworking, skilful, held the ball up well and brought others into play.

    I thought he played well last night, certainly in the first half.

    I think the record for a reserve game at HR was 12000. The average gate for reserve games under Jimmy Hill would probably have been between 2k and 3k.

    Never mind the selfies, he just need s to play better ( as he has started too lately) and fall down less.

    The problem is that some people cannot see this. If we lose on Saturday there will be posters on here again saying that Robins has to go. It is madness. We have to have instant success immediately, even after a fantastic end to last season, otherwise there are calls for the manager to be sacked...

    I think if we got promoted then, as with this season, you don’t replace the whole team. I think Willis would be one of the players that you would hope could step up to the next level. Under Billy Frith and then Jimmy Hill, George Curtis played in all divisions, fourth to first and didn’t look...

    Does a Stadium Solution exist?

    Without Sisu and the way they went about things, there would be no Wasps at the Ricoh. They were and continue to be at the heart of our problems.

    Not sure why Burge would have been caught out by Notts County and in particular by their defence? I can see you meant to say Oxford. Wouldn’t it have been their attack however?

    Good if there is a loop hole then.

    It will be interesting to see how loyal their fan base will be if they start losing. If they were in the third tier of English rugby would they have our average of 10kish? I don’t think so. They need to go home to their own fans.
