Westbrooke nay sayers - 2 by him, the other assisted......

Hiwula v Watford would have got my vote, better than any of those

Because he is the more creative I'd keep Westbrooke over Shipley

Oops plus Westbrooke in midfield

that ...is the best team, so it won't be that

Why do people place the newcomer Rose - who is nice on the ball, but makes mistakes in his core job, defending - ahead of last year's player of the season, and absolutely proven at this level - Hyam? Oh and O'Hara for Hiwula as well

In which case it will be down to the main skill of a manager, that is preparing them in training and on the day. This is more important than transfer dealings at this level. What performance can he extract from his squad? The jury (and the taxi) is still out on Robins, even after over two years...

Rose tinted specs.........

There are a lot worse places to be. Great country

He must be on a very good contract to put up with all this ground share / eviction rubbish. He is very employable. Same applies to Boddy as well.

central midefielders - Kelly, Shipley, Westbrooke, Allen, O'Hare, Walsh, plus Eccles On the assumption that this guy is too good to be back up - Watson is clearly here to cover Dabo and not much else - it implies Robins believes Westbrooke and Shipley are deemed not quite good enough and Allen...

we have just bought Jobello....

I don't think we will ever see Jones in any meaningful way. He will be too physically fragile for the rest of his career. I am also unconvinced he is good enough for the top half of L 1.

wouldn't surprise me if he rested Kelly

There is very little evidence that Robins will ever change formation

Goalie was very slow, thankfully

Why pay £20m when you can probably pick up a decent club for a quid from someone desperate to get out. It is the Newcastle problem in miniature. A cost-plus valuation being out of synch with a market-based one

O'Hare for Westbrooke, and and someone to sub for Hiwula to be on the bench, so Bapaga for Eccles. Otherwise as per the suggestion above

I live near Oxford and was desperate to get tickets to the Oxford game. They were sold out first thing this morning. If anyone finds they can't go and has two tickets to spare and can no longer go I'd buy them from you.
