Not sure about that. I’d rather see Andrews get some game time. Kelly was a long way off the pace.

Ah yes, forgot to mention the other two games. Two wins of course.

Can it really be that every game we get something from we were either lucky or playing reserves???

It’s not been piss poor though has it. We were excellent against Oxford and OK v Bristol and for 45 minutes yesterday. Could be better of course but “it’s all been piss poor” is just lazy.

Really? I thought we played some good stuff v Oxford. Beyond pitiful is ridiculous

You’ll find most teams miss their best players. You’ll also note we have picked up 4 points, not lost all 4

The meltdown is predictable. Many can’t understand why we can’t simply win every game and sign whoever we want. We’ve had a disappointing loss v Stoke, a good home win, a very good point at Bristol and a below par performance yesterday. The games we’ve lost have been 1-0. You constantly need to...

Agree, it wasn’t our best game. That’s football though isn’t it? I’m sure we’ve all been following us for long enough to appreciate it’s never straightforward and can never be as a marketeer would have you believe.

Of course they are. What do you expect them to say “come and buy a ticket, we’ll be utter shite”.

No-one is saying yesterday was great. Everyone can see we could have done with a midfielder. But, for crying out loud, we’re 4 points from 4 games. Our best player is yet to play. From some of the bilge on here you’d think we’d had 4 straight losses. It’s not happy clapping - just need some balance.

I don’t think we’ve regressed as a team. Where there has been a massive difference is expectation. We are playing in the biggest dogfight league possibly in the world. We’ve spent a few quid. We had an outstanding season two seasons ago. Suddenly we’re being recognised as a team that should “do...

Makes no difference at all. You’re obviously as invested as the rest of us.

Why not? Being in the ground makes no difference. I am a ST holder and it makes no difference. Despair is not something anyone should be feeling.

They’ve tried to get it. That’s very, very obvious. It’s not some sort of disaster zone in there with who we have.

We were exactly the same at this point last year. Then we got better.

Look at it another way. We’ve lost no-one from midfield (certainly in the area being discussed) so we have exactly the same amount of depth we had before. It’s not even a conversation if Sheaf is fit.

Great post Jimmy. It’s what most sort of thought was happening. I’d much rather build with solid foundations than spaff money on fillers. There does seem to be a certain tension though in terms of the type of players we are now after versus a fairly rigid wage structure. Do you think there is...

O’Hare wasn’t a terrier. He barely played for 18 months. Remarkable how he and Palmer have suddenly turned into Messi and Ronaldo now they’ve left. Palmer was an ineffectual faffer and O’Hare was better but rarely a factor.

The off the field points are just speculation. On the field I think it’s an over reaction. Torp is the one who does worry me which means we are more reliant on Eccles and Sheaf than I’d like but to say we have no midfield is incorrect. Up front we have lots of talent that will click eventually...

Seriously, the reactionary stuff on this thread is unbelievable. Robins is light years ahead of anything we’ve had in the last 2-3 decades. The same conversations were happening last year as Wright and Simms settled. We’ve signed proven players this year who just need a few games. There should...
