Bournemouth is the sort of game we will go and win, probably having lost the two before, just to confuse even further the frothy mouthed types who then won't know which way to turn.

6/1 is still good odds for the bedwetters on here who are so confident that we are 'certain' to be relegated. CC84cov has been sure of it for so long I imagine he hoovered up those 11/1 odds. Fill your boots!!

If Dabo is out, I would expect Da Costa to play as long as we continue playing wing backs. If we go to a back 4 however, Pask will have to play as Da Costa would be a potentially defensive liability from what he's shown so far.

The posts about Robins being our greatest ever manager, and the 'Robins is our King' flag seem a long time ago now :)

While there was undoubtedly a lot of hyperbole following his performances at the start of the season, I agree with those arguing that Hamer has been hampered since January by our policy of playing 2 other holding midfielders from Kelly, James & Sheaf. Last season we used only Kelly in that role...

Were you not around for the Don Howe season, when Notts County saved us by beating Luton? More recently Coleman's team that finished off with a battering at Charlton was another example of surviving thanks to others, rather than it being of our own doing.

The international break has fallen perfectly for us for once. It really looks like the players & management desperately need that extra bit of time to re-group. Hopefully we will come back stronger for this final stretch.

The high press is pointless against Wycombe on past evidence, as they don't piss around at the back and their sole attacking ploy has been for the goalkeeper to launch it forward and then try to get their midfield runners to win the 2nd ball and go from there. Interesting to read Otis' comments...

Has Ostigaard actually been called up by Norway? If not the international break weekend would surely be best.

I think the East Stand has a capacity of around 14,000

Looking to next season MR will have to choose between Kelly & James, as I don't see both being needed. I also suspect McFadzean will only be offered another season if we get relegated. As for the rest of the players, a lot on here seem to think many of our players have reached a ceiling which I...

Da Costa does not look like a natural defender to me. His defensive positioning is poor, so I would be worried about playing him in a back 3 or even at full back in a back 4. To a degree we can get away with his playing as a wing back but that's the only system he seems suited to.

The more I think about this the more I think that we should try to re-arrange our game with them during the international break. I know it's not ideal and I'm guessing we would have to do without Ostigaard which would be a blow, but whose to say if we have to cram a game in with them on a...

........ and he could have come on and taken a penalty instead of David Batty!!

Has he already applied and been refused a visa? Please read my earlier post - get media support, but more importantly find an MP willing to make representations on his behalf and it is highly unlikely his visa application would be refused. The Home Office do not like negative media comment &...

Less negative interference from the Stadium Advisory Group would be a bonus. Always seemed like they were actively working against the interests of the club right from the QPR match when we first played at the Ricoh and had to play in front of a reduced crowd, when we could have filled the...

I would wait until matches are played in front of crowds and Covid restrictions are relaxed. Post Covid he might need to get vaccinated before travelling anyway - not sure how far advanced that will be in Uganda. When he does apply for a visa it might also be wise to get CCFC involved, as well...

There should also be a great big asterisk put next to our historical averages for this latest period, given it includes 'home' games played in Northampton and Birmingham.

A lot is going to be dependent on the options MR gets to make. The more season tickets are sold the more SISU will release the purse strings, so much of what will happen on the transfer front is in our hands as fans. edit - Just read this back and of course it is stating the obvious, but...

City fans love to jump on a bandwagon so if it looks like season ticket sales are taking a big leap, the club need to keep the PR wheels churning over by emphasising those sales so that others are encouraged to follow.
