The Bristol game is fair enough, although I doubt we've played a more disinterested team all season. The one consistency with that & the other 3 games I mentioned was that we played 2 up front. We must not revert to playing only a single forward, it presents the whole initiative to the opposition.

I don't see how they can possibly rest anyone. They are probably thinking they need 5 to 6 points from these 3 home games, and the QPR game affords them as much opportunity for picking up points as the other 2 games do. Psychologically Thursday's game will be a lot easier for us if we know going...

He got done by their forwards too, but not quite so blatantly as Thompson did. It was a bad day all round defensively, but to be fair there are no better forward line in this league than Brooks, Solanke & Danjuma if they are interested, and unfortunately yesterday they were.

3rd goal was Thompson, not Pask. Thompson looked completely out of his depth, and if Pask is not available on Thursday we will definitely need Hyam back in his place. All their goals had the feel of a schoolboys match where one team is much stronger than the other, they cut through us so...

You might be right about Gyokeres, there's very little to go on with him though, so it would be a bit of a punt on MR's part to start with him. If MR sees that as the way to go at Rotherham then happy to get behind it though. On Biamou however, while not disagreeing on his limitations, the fact...

I think the point your missing Otis, as pointed out on another thread, is that you are not accounting for results that typically happen at this time of season, where form gets turned upside down. Just because QPR were good at home to Sheff Wed does not follow they will be so good in their next...

If we are playing 2 up front I get the feeling that at this point in the time that Walker or Godden would combine better with Biamou than with each other. I appreciate that lessens our goal threat on paper, but if it allows Godden or Walker to be more of a threat themselves then it could be...

They were different players, with polar opposite attitudes to the game. Hughes was far more talented, and when interested, as in his first season with us was a good player. After that season though he sat back and stopped putting in the effort, at which point Doyle was the more effective player...

Mistakes are easier to take when you still win the match, and it was a real shocker. Apart from that I thought he was outstanding. His extra aggression is definitely a bonus in a team that is a bit too nice sometimes.

No, but it provides a better barometer of where we currently stand, than do the views of some bedwetting drama queens on here.

Despite the poor run we are on your opinion isn't supported by the bookies, who probably offer the most realistic independent guide to where we currently stand. Current relegation odds are Wycombe 1/200, Sheff Wed 1/10, Rotherham 6/4, Birmingham 2/1, CCFC 9/4, Derby 9/1, Huddersfield 9/1...

I get the impression he has read the criticism of him on Social Media and it has got to him, completely wrecking his confidence. Even accounting for the step up to the Championship, the last few times he's played he has simply not got involved like he should do. It is noticeable how few times he...

The reason Giles wanted to leave was because including him we had 6 loans and with only 5 allowed in the match day squad he found himself left out. Without dropping any of our other loanees, once we signed James & Gyokeres there was no more space for any other loan signings.

'Lost the players', 'Tactically Weak' etc. Boy do you love a cliché :rolleyes:

Seems like you are desperate to start something with this O'Hare story. Feels like bullshit to me. Yesterday was always going to be difficult, with Monday's game the more winnable. As one of our more impactful players it makes some sense to keep O'Hare fresh for that game.

Listening to MR's interview it sounds like Biamou & Kelly are likely to miss out on Monday as will Rose. I would be very surprised if Allen or Shipley feature in the starting line up for the remainder of the season too. He did seem fairly forgiving of Da Costa so it might be he gets one more...

I went to the Swindon game. Killer was playing for them that day too.

Given Da Costa's shaky defensive performances, playing Jobello at RWB probably wouldn't weaken us much defensively, but would definitely improve our attacking threat. Clearly not going to happen though if he can't even make it on the bench for the U23's.

Jacobson is one of those players that looks like a decent signing on paper, but in reality would turn out to be a dud. He has a sweet left foot and delivers a good dead ball which suits Wycombe's game completely. However, he is painfully slow and outside of set pieces he cannot get forward...
