    That's what happens when you're 2-0 up away from home with 10 to go! We've all forgotten it!

    Was just writing exactly that. The formation is bringing the best of out of a lot of our players that people were questioning if they were even good enough. Eccles and Sheaf, who people have accused of being too defensive and similar have willing runners in front of them and don't need to get...

    This is the rare position now where we should be able to give Simms a comfortable 20 mins as a 9 in this formation

    The touch turn and pass from Eccles there was absurdly good.

    Eccles has played really nicely (corners aside) again today. League 1 at best my arse. Akso, apologies for back to back arse posts.

    Brad Collins just looks like he belongs on a football pitch. I'm enjoying watching games without having to clench my arse every time our keeper has a decision to make.

    I dunno what this ref thinks there, the guy has his arm at full stretch trying to grab some of MVEs shirt there. Did he get a lot of it? No. But it clearly impeded him.

    Good half, created some good chances, looked solid in defence, midfield finding space. Really promising half.

    Wright getting a lot pelters for his misses but he's caused so many more problems for the Milwall defence than Saka has this half. He just regularly makes basic mistakes. Sometimes first touch, sometimes finishing, sometimes a dodgy pass. He is doing a lot of things very well too though.

    Well that's the debate now right? Refs are becoming conditioned to not make the tough calls when they can just wait for VAR to whisper in their ear and correct things.

    I mean could easily have been a pen, should have been a yellow for the challenge on Saka, and now a studs up two footed tackle gets a yellow. Ref has been very lenient so far.

    From behind, while running full speed and all your weight on one leg? Nah mate, weak as piss.

    Good chance but a blatant push in the back just as he sets himself to shoot.

    3 wins in 17 games

    We’ll be pushing mid table by New Year by becoming hard to beat and excited by what we might do in the January transfer window. Decent number 8 in and we’ll be comfortable for the rest of the season.

    Wilson or Collins?

    I think it will be the same as Arteta has done at Arsenal. There’s always plenty of keepers available on a free if he just wanted to push Moore out and keep Wilson on his toes. You don’t spend money like that on a goalkeeper just to sit on the bench, even with the money we had in the summer.

    Get a grip, this is a rebuilding season.

    I think, with the right creative signing in January, that we’re going to be excellent next season and I’m in the vast minority in enjoying watching the squad develop. But football is entertainment and an escape, for many, from the real life issues that a lot of folks have. The euphoria or...

    I thought it was much much better today and looked like a good platform to build on. I don't want to sound disrespectful to Fadz or the passing of his mother but I wonder if this will be another one of Robin's 'lucky' moments. The injury to Jodi Jones in 2017, the switch to 5 at the back against...

    Ohare contract

    The old guard would still be pissed off about money if Simms and Wright had 10 goals each already. Perceived quality is just an easy excuse.

    I hope the Treat is Robins not making like for like subs at 1-0 down!

    Have we lost mentality?

    Everyone knew it was going to be a massive rebuild this year. The money spent, the play off final and the loss of our 2 best players and fan’s favourites is clouding that in the here and now. The cluster fuck of shirt delivery and matches being moved for tv is adding to that. The rebuild is not...
