Yes, Houston is among the top 20 fastest growing US cities, but probably not as fast as Austin which I like a lot as well. But the great thing about where I am is the cost of living is low and, unlike Austin, I can fly direct from Houston to pretty much anywhere in the US (which is important to...

Hi Clint, I am in the Houston area.

Totally agree with the idea of a plan B and finding a way to counter the high press which is hard for an opposition to sustain for a full 90 minutes. Teams like Rotherham, Blackpool, Portsmouth, AFC Wimbledon etc. have all benefited from pressing our backline and picking off back passes that are...

Agree with the lineup changes assuming Mason is fit. Otherwise, McCallum, Watson or Williams needs to slot in. O’Hare deserves to start especially because we need to be more of threat going forward in a tough place to play. With that said, I think a draw would be a very good result.

The thing fans don't realise are the factors Robins has to take into consideration when selecting a team namely: 1) Do I tinker with an unbeaten line-up? 2) How would changing the line-up affect the morale of the person(s) being replaced (because the team is unbeaten thus far)? 3) What if making...

The team must learn from their mistakes and not just ignore issues. In spite of the great start to the season (which we have seen on occasion in our history) we as fans have every right to feel disappointed that we're not on 16 points right now. The team must try to eradicate conceding soon...

Well now I know how Portsmouth must have felt. Robbed by the ref at Bolton and today we scored 4 (maybe 5) goals and gave away 2 points when it was easier to win.

I feel we should rest some of our starters and rotate our squad. Maybe we could try a 4-4-2 lineup of Wilson, Dabo, Hyam, Rose, McCallum, Jobello, O'Hare, Westbrooke, Kastaneer, Bakayoko and Biamou. Subs: Kelly, McFadzean, Shipley, Godden, Marosi, Mason, Hiwula, Bapaga

Ok but I could have sworn I read it somewhere that he was aiming to be ready for this week's match...anyway better to be safe than sorry I suppose with so many games yet to play

They kept saying Allen would be ready for this week's match...now I wonder what really happened in pre-season to him...feel Allen and O'Hare will be key contributors for this team in the engine room, but they have to be on the pitch first lol...Thought Jobello was going to be out, but now turns...

Noticed Gillingham have taken the lead in all their previous matches this season and Jakubiak, Hanlan and Ndjoli seem to be their dangermen. However, it appears they have let their opponents back into the game (which leads me to believe their defence may not be that great). Think we will need to...

Can't see why it was disallowed. Doesn't look offside to me.

Agreed. Funny thing is the defence as a whole (perhaps bar Mason and maybe Rose notwithstanding the let off for the penalty that wasn't given) seemed to have their off days in the same game. Maybe the big game and hostile atmosphere with 18,000 rabid fans got to them. Hopefully it's a lesson...

Excited by this loan move (for the rest of the season too!!). Seems to have a great engine and covers loads of space. Think he can go straight into Saturday's match with Gillingham. Would give us a huge lift as well.

While I sympathise with the plight of Bury and Bolton, if they were to be removed from the league, will all the other League 1 teams get 3 points each for each of their games against them and will we have to be happy with just 1 point from our match versus Bolton? Anybody know?

I think a 4-4-2 formation might work on Saturday with the following lineup: Marosi McCallum McFadzean Rose Mason Shipley Kelly Westbrooke Hiwula Baka Godden

After the Portsmouth result, the team must feel a great sense of belief that these next 5 games are all winnable. But we are our own worst enemies or get robbed by the refs (judging by the matches against Bolton and Portsmouth). So take it 1 game at a time and don't get complacent.

With the games coming thick and fast now, I wish we had 2 good players for every position. But it is what it is and I'm still very happy with how we have recruited so far. Think we have to keep the changes minimal for Gillingham and play a slower game and try to control the tempo. If Jobello...

I echo the sentiments of most on here that it's early days and while the result against bolton didn't yield the expected 3 points, we have to look at the positives: 2 clean sheets and numerous new signings to assimilate into our system (some of whom are key players that have yet to feature). The...
