woah woah, we’ve got Sakamoto
woah woah, Tatsu (or Super) Sakamoto
woah woah, he never gives the ball awaaay….
1,2,3,4….. (and repeat)
to the tune of September, Earth Wind and Fire
Doyle / Kelly version worked well in days of old 🤷🏼♂️
he did, but this was mainly because it was too late in the day, I think he said it was very last minute and he didn’t want to leave, rather than not wanting to join us specifically
He’s 28 (hardly past it) and decent experience at this level, although I agree ideally we need someone more defensive minded / box to box in midfield, but I still think he improves the team even as another option in the CoH / KP positions
any of those are achievable, although probably not more than one or maybe two at the same time…
I know Diallo played the other day for a bit at Forest, but still he’d get more game time with us and therefore perhaps better development
Chair must be open to a move from a club looking like...
agree in some respects, and should still be strong enough to beat them, but personally I think they need to keep the momentum going so would possibly throw a few more first teamers in too - Simms from the start, Tats on the bench, O’Hare maybe too
is that a positive double figure goal difference too now?
down to a strong and stingy defence, and forward players who can actually put the ball in the net - if Tats ever lines up at right back again I’ll lose my shit…!
amazing what a bit of confidence can do, the whole team to a man played...
Eccles has to come off, he’s more effective coming on for Sheaf later in the game but his defending, touch, delivery, decision making hasn’t been great at all….and WHY IS HE STILL TAKING CORNERS?! Although ironically his corners have probably been the best part of his game this half!
Palmer for...
I normally do it as I can’t be bothered with any nonsense from the away fans and also I find it’s slightly easier to get out of the ground and past the railway tunnel / station, but you might be right!
I’ll give it a go next time, or I might drive up to Radford and jump in with you! 😂
do you park right by the entrance though, and get there early before kick off?
I normally park as close to the entrance as possible but that’s generally about half way down towards the bridge, and don’t leave until the players have been round, applauded and left the pitch - takes me sometimes...
Car Park C, and they’ve changed the layout but I can’t see it’s much better - having said that I don’t know what they could do to make it better other than more marshalls at full time to make sure people let others file in sensibly and keep the flow of traffic moving through the car park.
Don’t...
I think another problem is the sh1te parking situation - it takes over an hour to get out of any of the car parks, and if (like me) you’re faced with almost an hour journey back home, and the possibility of roads being closed temporarily too now, it kind of puts you off weekday and late kick...
fair, but I’d differentiate for some between mentality and expectation, I don’t expect we will get promoted this season, and like you I think we will be top half, possibly 10, and if things go our way after January maybe a late push
I would however hope that, despite realising this season will...
No, if the alternative was nothing, but back at you - would anybody turn down three points?
better than nothing, but if you go into two games expecting nothing then you’re happy with anything more, albeit to be fair I would agree they are probably two of the best teams we’ll play all season
…you *to* replace
although I do agree, Robins isn’t tactically naive, but we do need a shift in mentality (club, fans, etc…) if we are to be taken seriously as a top six club with a realistic promotion shot.
I did think the playoff run would’ve done it but so far it hasn’t quite carried forward
