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.
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...
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’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.
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
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
Abiding memories of Highfield Rd

In later years Oggy taking 3-4 fans out every home game with his warm up.
The ridiculous melee to get out at...
