Our 3 was much more fluid - more like a flat 3 than the 2-1 we play with Palmer/O’Hare in the side. Gus often came deep to collect the ball.

Anyone who thinks that we will achieve anywhere near the top 6 with Sheaf and Eccles playing as the 2 holding in a 3 man midfield is having a laugh really. We need a Hamer replacement who is going to come in and start the vast majority of games.

Haven’t written him off at all, he will do a job but we will concede if he continues playing wide. I think he’d be better used as cover for Fadz in the middle. I’m not out to slag off players, just pointing out areas in which we can and must improve if we want to be promoted.

MvE has the benefit of Bobby T behind him who looks absolutely top class as a defender.

I can trawl through for more if you’d really like…

Vardy is 36. 30:45 in this video- he gets absolutely swallowed up.

Not at all! He has the turning circle of a tractor and the pace of one too! Good in the tackle but I’m not sure he’s suited to playing wide in a back 3.

That one wasn’t pace no, just generally poor play, but there were multiple times he got beaten for pace out wide.

He’s an obvious wrongun from what came out. Can’t believe in this day and age of PR and political correctness he’s likely getting to play again, and sadly all will be forgotten if he scores a few goals (a la Ronaldo, Partey etc)

Were there two Coventry games on Saturday? Latibeaudiere got caught out multiple times with his lack of pace. Both of their big chances came from getting in down the left.

Eccles is the definition of a squad player, has never been first choice in any position for the team.

The majority of those at right back. He’s not good enough technically to play alongside sheaf in the 352 system Robins is playing. Doesn’t have enough ability to receive and progress the ball. I’m not saying get rid, he’s a great option to have but you’re kidding yourself if you think he can...

Central midfield. We got away with it on Saturday but will get exposed if we don’t bring in a technical player who can play through the lines like Gus did. Eccles is a good squad player but not good enough to start if we want to achieve promotion.

Lee Burge obviously

It’s pretty obvious the end game was to have Wright and Simms playing together- we’re not rich enough yet to be spending £3.5m on a backup. Assume Wright is being eased in due to lack of preseason with the squad and Godden will be hard to drop if he keeps scoring. Not sure Robins fancies 1 up...

Hamer looks like an AM if you watch a highlight reel to be fair…

By some miracle they’ve arrived in todays post. But did email club and seems fairly easy to get them reprinted.

Anyone going to the pub before tonight?

Still haven't received Wimbledon tickets - club says to contact ticket office tomorrow if haven't arrived. Anyone experienced similar? Will I have to pick up from Wimbledon stadium? Anyone know what the process is for that?

Honestly useless speculating over specific players at this point... it will be all about finding value in the market. I'm sure the scouting team will have targets identified already, but especially if we go up we'll hopefully find players who are available for less than their usual market value...
