    Robins on CWR

    Seems like you are desperate to start something with this O'Hare story. Feels like bullshit to me. Yesterday was always going to be difficult, with Monday's game the more winnable. As one of our more impactful players it makes some sense to keep O'Hare fresh for that game.

    Robins on CWR

    Listening to MR's interview it sounds like Biamou & Kelly are likely to miss out on Monday as will Rose. I would be very surprised if Allen or Shipley feature in the starting line up for the remainder of the season too. He did seem fairly forgiving of Da Costa so it might be he gets one more...

    Taxi cancelled for Robins

    I went to the Swindon game. Killer was playing for them that day too.

    Match Thread U23s v Charlton

    Given Da Costa's shaky defensive performances, playing Jobello at RWB probably wouldn't weaken us much defensively, but would definitely improve our attacking threat. Clearly not going to happen though if he can't even make it on the bench for the U23's.

    Match Thread Wycombe

    Jacobson is one of those players that looks like a decent signing on paper, but in reality would turn out to be a dud. He has a sweet left foot and delivers a good dead ball which suits Wycombe's game completely. However, he is painfully slow and outside of set pieces he cannot get forward...

    Hamer

    Bournemouth is the sort of game we will go and win, probably having lost the two before, just to confuse even further the frothy mouthed types who then won't know which way to turn.

    Remaining games

    6/1 is still good odds for the bedwetters on here who are so confident that we are 'certain' to be relegated. CC84cov has been sure of it for so long I imagine he hoovered up those 11/1 odds. Fill your boots!!

    Pask v Da Costa

    If Dabo is out, I would expect Da Costa to play as long as we continue playing wing backs. If we go to a back 4 however, Pask will have to play as Da Costa would be a potentially defensive liability from what he's shown so far.

    Taxi cancelled for Robins

    The posts about Robins being our greatest ever manager, and the 'Robins is our King' flag seem a long time ago now :)

    Hamer

    While there was undoubtedly a lot of hyperbole following his performances at the start of the season, I agree with those arguing that Hamer has been hampered since January by our policy of playing 2 other holding midfielders from Kelly, James & Sheaf. Last season we used only Kelly in that role...

    Everyone still confident ?

    Were you not around for the Don Howe season, when Notts County saved us by beating Luton? More recently Coleman's team that finished off with a battering at Charlton was another example of surviving thanks to others, rather than it being of our own doing.

    Match Thread Wycombe

    The international break has fallen perfectly for us for once. It really looks like the players & management desperately need that extra bit of time to re-group. Hopefully we will come back stronger for this final stretch.

    Everyone still confident ?

    The high press is pointless against Wycombe on past evidence, as they don't piss around at the back and their sole attacking ploy has been for the goalkeeper to launch it forward and then try to get their midfield runners to win the 2nd ball and go from there. Interesting to read Otis' comments...

    Rotherham v Cov game now off too !

    Has Ostigaard actually been called up by Norway? If not the international break weekend would surely be best.

    I apologise for saying Matty James flatters to deceive

    Looking to next season MR will have to choose between Kelly & James, as I don't see both being needed. I also suspect McFadzean will only be offered another season if we get relegated. As for the rest of the players, a lot on here seem to think many of our players have reached a ceiling which I...

    Is rose injured again

    Da Costa does not look like a natural defender to me. His defensive positioning is poor, so I would be worried about playing him in a back 3 or even at full back in a back 4. To a degree we can get away with his playing as a wing back but that's the only system he seems suited to.

    Rotherham v Cov game now off too !

    The more I think about this the more I think that we should try to re-arrange our game with them during the international break. I know it's not ideal and I'm guessing we would have to do without Ostigaard which would be a blow, but whose to say if we have to cram a game in with them on a...

    Get (cefovid) Ronald to the Ricoh!

    Has he already applied and been refused a visa? Please read my earlier post - get media support, but more importantly find an MP willing to make representations on his behalf and it is highly unlikely his visa application would be refused. The Home Office do not like negative media comment &...
