    Best 11 since return to the championship

    Agreed. Decent defensive ability but his use of the ball was genuinely appalling.

    Certainly not. Will be interesting to see how the midfield copes without Rudoni. If we control the midfield we win the game as their defence isn't good enough to be facing any kind of sustained pressure.

    It's one we should be getting three points from really. They have one of the worst 'goals away' records in the league with only 12 scored thus far. Only Plymouth and Oxford have posted worse numbers. They've also only managed three wins over the course of the season. Their only away win over...

    Is it? Didn't he literally fall over the ball when attempting to trap it late on vs Oxford. Granted he's been out the game a while but he's struggling with pretty basic fundamentals which I find slightly concerning. I think if anything off the pace at this stage is probably an understatement.

    The ghost of O’Hare finally laid to rest?

    I was a big O'Hare fan and thought he offered so much more than just an attacking outlet. His ability off the ball was a huge help. But it's clear that Rudoni's ceiling is so much higher than O'Hare's was when he was 23. Like you said his game is so much more well-rounded and he's got more...

    Looks like they've got a few players potentially back from injury/illness for this one. Hoping having Rudoni out doesn't derail us too much. Big ask to replace his creativity from existing options in midfield but need to find a way to play without him. Stoke have been dreadful away from home...

    Why? Paterson has looked dreadful when he's come on to the point where I genuinely don't know why we bothered signing him except for the sentimental video. He looks too far off the pace to even be in consideration to start.

    He's definitely not ready to start for a good few weeks. Not a criticism as it was to be expected, but he looked horribly rusty when he came on.

    Apologies to Dean Austin

    So you'd rather him not get any game time whatsoever. Interesting logic.

    Apologies to Dean Austin

    Bassette has definitely got potential, but there's a lot to work on for him to reach the level required to compete and perform in this league week in week out. He undoubtedly needs a loan move away next season , probably in L1 or in Scotland for him to work on his game and gain some experience...

    Championship thread 24/25!

    Worked well for him this season..... Robins is successful when no expectation is placed on his head and he can operate freely within the confines of his role. The Coates family expect immediate results from their managers and Robins has always been a slow burn but as shown here eventually...

    Championship thread 24/25!

    I said at the time going to Stoke would be a poor career choice. Probably paid pretty well but in terms of longevity and for his reputation it was never likely to go well. There's a huge complacency issue at Stoke, and I strongly suspect the issues come from the top down. Coates family have...

    Bristol have a difficult run in. 8 out of their remaining 12 games are against top half of the table sides. Not sure they have the quality to put a serious run together.

    Pointless looking at other scores really, it rarely works if you're relying on other results to swing in your favour. Just need to focus on what we're doing and take it game by game.

    A couple of games before that they lost three in a row. Typical of their season really.

    It'll definitely be a tough game, but given their recent form it's one we should be getting three points from really. Said it a couple of times already but being limited to 2 shots on target over the past 4 games is genuinely atrocious by them. Need to capitalise on the lack of form of others.

    Possibly. Their performances over the last four games have looked appalling though to be honest. As mentioned, they've only managed 2 shots on target over that period. It potentially could be the ideal time to play them.

    It's a shame Haji is still a few weeks away from starting. He absolutely terrorised them in the reverse fixture.

    To compound the above they've only had 2 shots on target in the past four games.

    Shame we're not playing these at the CBS. They've only won one away game all season. Their home form is pretty much on par with our own. Results have dipped for them recently but will still be a tough game.
