Think if I started talking about the Standard Deviation of XG some people may spontaneously combust. Apart from Philosorapter.

Statistically, if a manager doesn’t get at least 8 points from their first 8 games then they will never turn things round. If we end up in that mess then pull the trigger sharpish.

I’ve voted playoffs but there would be some leniency in there. If the playoff points total was abnormally high (don’t think it will be) or if we’re still in contention at 44 games but don’t quite make it, that’d suffice. The idea that we should just be aiming for a top half finish lacks...

The whole episode has been pathetic. I do, however, feel he has a bit of the Brendan Rodgers (or David Brent) about him.

The thing I pick out of it all is the comment that the new coaches ‘haven’t got the tactical nous’. It suggests to me how much Robins was leaning on AV/DL tactically. Setting emotion aside, if the manager isn’t setting out what they want to do tactically then what’s the point in them? It strikes...

I’m now seeing it suggested on Twitter (and amplified by Musk) that the Federal Reserve should be abolished. Fucking mental.

My opinion was always that we needed to be top half by the November international break for Robins to keep his job. The loss to Derby ensured that wasn’t possible so I wonder if that was the club’s position as well. For what it’s worth, I thought we’d seen enough ‘upward momentum’ for me to...

Regrettably another instance in what was an ever-growing list of Robins not making an early/earlier call to change formation/tactics.

What are people seeing with Ruben Selles?

That decision is bonkers to be honest.

Should have copyrighted this shout.

Thought he was ok generally but the time wasting thing fucking infuriates me. You can’t pick and choose which rules to apply. Maybe next time we just get rid of corners?

Tell Sheaf to stay deep and let Rudoni and Torp play as 8s either side.

It wasn’t half. That one that Rudoni eventually played through, it was about 50 yards away from the intended target.

Wing backs far too reserved. When Bobby was on the ball they covered every pass, no idea why he didn’t just drive forward into the space and look to commit one of their players. Again, we sit here saying the same thing - we need to attack quickly. Outpaced by a bunch of glorified traffic cones.

It may have been on here, but I saw something suggesting that the reason for this is to massage the ‘waiting time’ figures. If you phone up and ask for an appointment next Tuesday you’re waiting 6 days. If they tell you to call back on the Tuesday at 8am and get you in for 10am you’ve only...

The price of a Freddo still lingers in the memory.

Strange isn’t it, how higher taxes mean fewer jobs and lower pay rises, but lower taxes don’t really result in more jobs and massive pay rises.

Here we go. What makes Kamala Harris “historically bad”? Hyperbolic nonsense. She’s bang average. And anyone even below average should wipe the floor with Trump. But this is America, after all.

Hat trick and missed 2 very good chances as well.
