    Godden, Walker, Max & Baka. Only Walker has the potential to be a good Championship striker. None of them are right now, OK'ish at best

    The back 5 has been possibly the tightest defence in the Championship of late - notwithstanding the poor quality of recent opposition. So they are nailed on unchanged. We only have one player with the speed to break a defensive line - Giles. Can he be accomodated? He made the equaliser against...

    Cardiff would have been 0-0 but for a Cardiff defensive blunder. Classic stuff - go for the draw, and nick the win if you can This run has been built on being strong in defence, crap to watch, and hoping to nick one. We have been forced to attack when we have gone behind - Norwich & Derby - but...

    I also don't trust any combination of three midfielders, of the ones we have fit, keeping it tight for 90 minutes. Therefore I'd play 4 in the middle. To 'have a go' would mean weakening the central midfield defensively. 0-0 is all we need.

    That dreaded sentence 'would really like to have a go' There is no evidence that Robins ever does that. The good results are because we have done the exact reverse to 'having a go'. Sit back, pack the defence, get the draw. Job done.

    Without Kelly and Harmer and away from home, I'd go 5-4-1 The usual 5 at the back plus Sheaf, O'Hara, Allen and Shipley in midfield, Max up front. Then I'd sit back and scrap for a goalless draw as the basic aim, and it's a bonus if we nick a winner. Shit to watch, but who cares, there are no...

    I go with Grendel, whether it was a specific Robins instruction, or Wilson took it on himself, we have been playing more long ball and the defensive perfomance is the proof that this is a better route. We haven't got the quality to play the ball through at this level. We get robbed inside our...

    I just want a win of any sort. I'd even settle for one goal in the first minute followed by 89 minutes of panicky defence, even tho it would be agony. This league continually bunches up - you can see it last night with Millwall beating Bristol City. We need to be somewhere in that big bunch in...

    Next 6 fixtures

    Millwall is exactly half way I think. So that isn't the next 5 the benchmark? We are capable of getting something from every one of these games, even Stoke or Preston, which are the hardest. Excluding Sheffield Wed (H), isn't it a win at home to Huddersfield and four draws - 7 points. That is...

    Was Shipley injured ?

    If it was tactical, it was an uncharacteristic on Robins' part.

    Huddersfield - winnable -as has been the case for every game but one in the last seven. Makes up for October when you looked at the fixture list and thought that we might lose the lot. Draw comfort from the lilihood that the current run of results might just be the mix of the fixture list and...

    How long can we keep Hamer?

    I suspect the January window will be quiet anyway as the finacial situation of many clubs will be uncertain, which is good news. He will have more value in the summer, undoubtedly, but fans habitually over value their own players. Even so we should be at least doubling our money, which in 12...
