    Not getting a head of ourselves ….

    It’s all a bonus for me so I’m going in with zero expectation. For a long time this season seemed to have mid table obscurity written all over it so I can’t get disappointed whatever the outcome from here on in.

    We would have been better off with Robins

    Some seasons Robins had money. Some he didn’t. He took us from the worst position we’ve probably ever been in to the point where Lampard inherited a squad capable of finishing 5th with just Grimes added in. I’m not really sure why done are so determined to belittle that achievement. It needed...

    Let's not forget.....

    Of course we want promotion. It has to be the ambition.

    Who would you sell?

    Ideally. But if 1 has to go I’d choose him from those likely to bring any sort of fee.

    Doug King

    It’s proven to be the right decision as the results prove it. However, barring Grimes Lampard has done it with the squad Robins assembled. I think it just needed a freshen up and I do think Robins had lost the plot with his coaching appointments. Managers tend to have a cycle of influence...

    Sakamoto

    Sakamoto’s final ball is the difference. It’s regularly better than other deliverers such as Wright, MVE or EMC. Rudoni is good as well but is also needed on the other end of them.

    Who would you sell?

    Got to keep Rudoni and Wright. I wonder if we’ll hold on to BTA?

    Relegated players

    If Sheaf goes I’d have a look at Gyabi from Plymouth. Great engine.

    Match Thread Coventry v Sunderland Championship Playoff 1st Leg Friday 9th May

    Will be difficult for Sunderland to change gear so I think we can beat them. BTA for Simms for me.

    Player ratings v Boro

    The Simms equation is simple for me. He will score streaks of goals but his all round game is very poor and unlikely to improve. I’d start BTA in the play offs - no question

    Our midfield

    Grimes, Sheaf, Rudoni, Eccles, Torp, Allen. At one point this year we were threadbare there. Now it’s our strength. Going into games with Rudoni, Sheaf and Grimes gives us a chance v anyone

    Worst team ever to finish fifth

    Better team than everyone below us. That’s all that matters.

    Why not. 17th to 5th

    Sakamoto

    He’s a good player. At home we get it to him more which is the problem only difference. His delivery is the best in the squad

    Thomas Asante

    I’d go with BTA through the middle.,Has more basic skills and is far more likely to make everyone else in the team believe.

    He's Magic You Know

    The only mystery is why it’s taken so long to put him in. Worked out alright in the end but truly bizarre how long Collins was persisted with

    Rudoni mom. BTA great cameo. Wilson excellent as was MVE.

    20 years on

    Abiding memories of Highfield Rd Emerging onto the West Terrace with the sprawl of the pitch in front. Smell of fags drifting across (why did they never smell like that anywhere else). In later years Oggy taking 3-4 fans out every home game with his warm up. The ridiculous melee to get out at...

    Who would you sell?

    100% MVE. Not anywhere near as impactful as the other two
