    Mark Robins

    I remember being inspired by his first press conference when he said you start with nil, don’t give it away. Cue several months of defensive play where we couldn’t score and didn’t keep a clean sheet.

    Next season

    A big midfield signing would push us to the next level. Plus it would plug the O’Hare gap. We’ve got enough goals up front. Tavares = Godden and we have EMC coming in and Saka returning. Make the splash in midfield. Just replace elsewhere ie Kelly/Binks

    Or alternatively. High press, low press, beat the press, get the false 9 to press etc etc.

    New number one needed

    I think basically that if you have forwards so close you can smell them don’t play a 10 yard pass across your own goal. If you have space you can play it between yourselves for 10 passes before scenario 1 crops up and you do what you could have done 10 passes ago. I refer you to Foden’s goal v...

    There was that period early 80’s when we went through a manager a year. The Mackay years were fairly grim - what would now be premier league football attended by 10,000. Don Howe/Phil Neal periods were grim and we also had lunacy (Adrian Heath being given 3 games to “prove himself”). All reasons...

    New number one needed

    I’m afraid it is when you are asking Collins, Latibeaudiere and Thomas to carry it out. Of course you don’t just lump it forward. But equally don’t always play out. It has to be mixed based on what you see in front of you.

    New number one needed

    They have the talent to do it. Across the leagues you’ll see 20-30 stupid goals given away as a direct result of it.

    24/25 changes?

    The biggest achievement we need over the summer is to retain Wright, Simms and Sheaf. Otherwise we are rebuilding again.

    New number one needed

    It’s easy to find a new keeper - just go to Scandinavia and get someone big.

    That’s Palmer in a nutshell. Talented but frustrating. He’s not a starter. He’s bench impact if you need a spark. But that’s an expensive luxury.

    New number one needed

    The problem is that what you need from a keeper now is a different skill set. We probably all think make saves, take crosses etc. But they are now required to play as some sort of pseudo sweeper. And are signed due to that skill. It’s a terrible tactic for a start and also means you’re accepting...

    Time to squeeze 45 minutes out of our bench forwards. Godden basically a passenger. Latibeaudiere likes a challenge. Unfortunately you can’t challenge nowadays. He’s just 2% below what we need and gives me the shits when he’s on the ball.

    Callum O'Hare

    We can replace anyone and everyone. We’ve done it numerous times. And we’ve done it successfully.

    I like the subtle literary nuance in this.

    Gary Lineker

    What’s the obsession with pundits? Half of the coverage post game was Keane said this, Wright said that, Lineker did this. Even Agbonlahor had a say. Couldn’t give a shit what they say - most are just overpaid cliche peddlers.
