    Simms and Godden have both had very good chances that they've side footed wide without even making the keeper work. Dominance is turning into wastefulness now.

    Hope Ayari is watching Saka today. His movement to make himself available for a simple pass and then link the play has been outstanding.

    Bristol look completely unable to handle our press in possession and our movement out of possession. Need a goal while we're this on top.

    Not in any way suggesting I am an expert but having had to do my badges out here for my local club role, it has all but destroyed my enjoyment of watching football as entertainment or a spectacle. Coventry games I still enjoy because of my love for the club but pretty much anything else and I'm...

    Does Robins lack ambition ?

    I don’t find him a tactically brilliant manager and often I think he’s a little slow to react in games. I do think he’s a great man manager, knows how to build squad spirit and is excellent at improving raw players, which is one of the reasons I’m not worried about our new signings this year...

    If .....

    By Christmas everyone will be lauding Robins again for getting us to where we are with so many new signings and injuries.

    Can't believe Eccles is the best we have for those free kicks. Would rather Binks came over and took an inswinger.

    Allen's decision making of who and when to press in those situations is outstanding. Ayari just looks naive and inexperienced. He is running, just a lot of it is pointless.

    Passing game looks much sharper and crisper tonight. Only been 15 mins but looks as good as anything since the opening game. Binks breaking lines, midfield passing forward. Godden dropping into spaces, Simms holding the ball up well. Looks promising in attack. Defence still look nervy though.

    Strikers Who Came Good

    I don’t think Simms is getting on the end of that 3rd goal at the start of the season or even yesterday if he hadn’t already scored. A little bit fitness, a little bit lacking confidence. Did great to be in the position he was and finish on his left foot. He should really kick on now.

    Strikers Who Came Good

    Nothing beats a square peg in a round hole like Micky Adams playing James Scowcroft at right midfield and then aiming every goal kick at him.

    Gareth Ainsworth must absolutely hate us. We should send him 15,000 christmas cards with some Robins on it.

    That was a great move. Nice progressive pass from Eccles, superb run and cross from Allen, great finish from Simms.
