That is the Robins way

Draw would be ok, a win, no matter how, would be awesome. Before the in-match commentators on here moan about how poorly we are playing; given how good Pompey appear to be, we must expect to be dominated for at least part of the game. A bit more flexibility from Robins in terms of personnel...

...to which I would add, that if you have no wingers, but two very good (for L 1) attacking full backs and a surfeit of good central defenders, then 3-4-2-1 is a good formation. It just took too long to work it out (people on here were saying it for a while).

Brought in better players last summer. The loans are a a bit better than last year, remember how many chances Thomas missed? But the acquisitions are a huge improvement, and there were more of them. Marosi, Dabo, McF, Godden, Allen, Pask. and in effect Rose v Mason, Ogogo, Brown, Baka and...

At last a scrappy goal. Jut when we needed it

Portsmouth and Rotherham to be the top 2 - don't know who would be top City, Peterborough, Ipswich and Sunderland - who knows what order Wycombe will not drop out of top 6 until the very end - they have some easy fixtures coming up Donny might just sneak in to the top 6 at Sunderland's...

Not enough goals - it is why we are 5th and not top. And games in hand don't convert.

That is my point..... The cash from a good sale funds the wages for x players acquired for no fee, who add a lot more cumulatively than the departing single star player. Only Godden (and Baka?) cost something. The job of the management is to be smart with the out of contract players - as there...

Fed up with this subject. Every club, even Liverpool sells. The big Italian clubs sell all the time. We are in Tier 3 - by definition we are a selling club. The only question is not whether you are or not a selling club, but whether you are any good at it. The better we become as a selling...

We seem to have the same discussion regardless of the name - Biamou, Baka, Godden, JCH. Makes me think it is a formation thing. We have lost only three games for a reason - we are quite defensively set up but the downside is the absence of firepower up front. Under Robins the only time we have...

Hell's teeth, the speed of Dabo's feet

Bloody good goal when you see the whole move. Tremendous run by Allen

that angle Marosi should have blocked it. McF was under pressure and struggling for pace.

Gloomy - but I was for Donny and Fleetwood too. Eventually I am going to be right. The number of games could start catching up - cup replays and that. Fear the worst. I can't even follow it on here as it gets too stressful. I'll hide until 5 and then read it retrospectively. At least I'll see...

That is the biggest single problem. What happens in the interim - Wasps are not going to play ball and B'ham unsustainable. Viewed from their perspective SISU's long term strategy (they are a hedge fund, isn't that what they do?) continues to mystify me. Just exactly do they want from CCFC...

That is my summation, but I think it better than B+. Various lesser players were found temporary homes. The missing is a McNulty type player to play instead of one of the two midfielders Westbrooke and Shipley and play off Godden (or Biamou). I would like to have been shot of Hiwula, as nobody...

what is he? Speedy forward to play off Godden would be my preference - or is that O'Hara?

Robins and the current strategy has been in place for nearly three years. Bayliss was in the system already. McCallum is the first we have sold from the development pool, and the whole plan was always to buy players with potential, develop them and sell on at a profit. As such McCallum's sale is...

Walsh, Kelly, the back three and Marosi are the irreplaceables. Any of those would be a big blow. Everybody else there is cover, even Godden

who he plays for is immaterial, as is what division they are in next season. £3 m , even in installments is too much to ignore.
