poor from Simms that - shit referee like

That was a fantastically worked goal

One thing I’ve noticed about Torp is that he generally doesn’t play well against teams that pressure and Harry him. His best games came against teams that gave him space. he was great in his cameo against United and played alright last night. Conversely struggled against Stoke and if I recall...

Nah - had our shot on target for this game. Can’t wait for 65 mins into the Oxford game for the next one

I’m on Sky Q but got virgin broadband. And it’s just freezing constantly

Mine was the same - awful coverage considering they made a big deal out of it

Anybody else sky sports + just keep freezing?

I’d agree with this. Although I’m not sure King would wait the season out if we sit 17th say at Xmas

It’s not “no promotion - change manager” it’s expectation of competing, of course if Robins gets to the play offs and loses, it’s a good season. The moment we start sliding back to midtable is when King will be asking questions. we’re one of the highest spenders in the league - there’s an...

What we lost in Hamer is a player that drives forward - he dropped back something which Allen and Torp don’t do. He made “clever fouls” - when he was given the ball he managed to push the game forward. we’re never going to get a player as good as Hamer - but we should be able to pick someone up...

If I recall League two - 4-2-3-1 - 4-2-4 once Jones injured League one - did he go back to 4-2-3-1? League one winning -went to 5-2-2-1 Championship - morphed into 5-2-1-2 Now - as you’ve said 4-3-3/4-2-3-1

Weirdly I’m sure we’ve changed shape every season under robins

The Rotherham game was the worst we’d played all season - and to this day I don’t know how we lost to Tranmere. We absolutely battered them.

Of course it’s a big season we’re the 3rd biggest spenders in the league this year and 2nd biggest last season. top 6 is a bare minimum expectation. He gets a pass the last 2 seasons. 2 years back we had the shit with the ground and wasps, last season he was bedding in a new squad. this season...

Even that shows the lowest position of 9th. In fact I’d argue it shows the importance of a fast start. It meant we were able to ride the two defeats and keep momentum

I don’t expect us to get autos - I don’t rule it out. I think we can compete, I don’t think there’s anything to fear and that we have an opportunity, but the problem is the slow starts we’ll end up flogging ourselves for results at the end of the season trying to get into the play offs if we...

Again I’ve said before - I’m confident. It’s more in relation to how we’ve started the seasons and talking about “peaking” as you’ve said we’ll see where we are in 10 games there are obvious issues still. It was clear last season we needed to replace Hamer. We still haven’t - it’s glaringly...

True - but we maintained touching distance throughout the season. We didn’t start 25 points back at any point - which is what we’ve done the last two season. Pretty sure we were actually top for a couple of week early on in the season Losing 2 games in your first 20 is hardly a slow start

Ipswich yes - but the idea is the same. Teams invariably do better when playing for the whole 46 game season. Not from game 15 onwards I’d argue that it’s more common for a team to stay the course like Ipswich then do what Forest did - which people keep holding up as a shining example

In fact - during the league one season we rarely dropped out of the play offs all season
