    We will put out a good side with a couple of experiments, if Robins is true to form. More game time for Hyams, Dabo, Chicago and Kastaneer. Rest for Hiwula. Eccles appears to be top of the queue. Marosi Dabo Hyam Rose Mason O'Hare Kelly Eccles Jobello Godden Kastaneer Or something like that

    Nobody with half a brain cell would listen to Dave Nellist. Last person on earth you would want involved in a business matter

    Mark Robins Manager Statistics

    There is something in that. And our player turnover is at a level of a total first team in 24 months. But it is then a trade off in that a buying / selling strategy carries big risk of failure. We all loved Kastenauer after Bristol - not so sure now. Robins does seem comfortable with a high...

    Pre Match Conference - Gillingham

    I don't think we had any at the start of 2017-2018, they came in later

    Would Willis, with his greater speed, recovered from making the mistake McFadzean did and caught his man?

    Kastaneer is clearly brain dead. Pointless wild challenge when on a yellow...

    Saturday's team McCallum for Dabo (suspended) Eccles for Westbrooke (Westbrooke has ball skills, but maybe it is Eccles' time) Bapaga for Jobello (assuming Jobello is unfit) I'd love 2 up front - Baka & Godden but not if the long term commitment is to 4-3-3.

    Worth noting that only 4 of that side played in the first team at the end of last season - Hiwula, Kelly, Shipley and Mason. This is a complete new side. And a team minus two players earmarked for 1st choice - Allen and Kastenauer. Noted the latter came on. You have to make a mitigation for...

    Transfer Rumour Jordan Young signs

    We do have at least 3 in the line who seem almost ready, Eccles Ngandu and Bapaga plus Westbrooke. None of them is a right back however

    narrow win, another clean sheet. Allen on the subs bench but comes on

    Sterling ran the length, and stopped twice to consider his options, before putting it onto Chaplin's head, against Wycombe at home last year

    Loans - let’s not bother

    Utter bollox Thomas Stirling Bright Armstrong Murphy........I'd even forgive Maguire-Drew because he was the one who, in his first game, got a corner onto Davies's head to set up Willis against Stoke. Worth the loan just for that Two or three good loans are compulsory for a promotion push. You...

    Robins rarely (if ever) changes a winning team. Expect a substitution around the 60 minute mark Godden for Baka.

    No More Transfers?

    Our squad is now quite large, so we have to live with it. It's up to Robins to turn water into wine from now on. I would rather have a loan right back but understand if Robins sticks to Dabo & Pask. I want to see the Under 23 guys coming through, there are 4 or 5 on the cusp, of which you would...

    No More Transfers?

    Robins is very good at being deliberately obtuse. One more reason why our owners like him

    You have two front men on the bench. One too many. I'd have Will Bapaga for Biamou

    Why is it to the detriment? Any club can get loans, just like any club can buy or find talent any other way. It is just a way of finding players. And they are usually better than the norm for the division so they up the standard. This is a competition you know, it is meant to be to the...

    We got three good players out of it last year. Loanees are part of the mix now - 2 or 3 each season. Plenty of permanent players stay little longer - like JCH If they are rubbish you are not stuck with them The most likely way to find wingers A player like Bright can work his way up the...
