    The Mark Robins Quote Book

    It's a tough, tough league and we've had a lot of injuries but with that comes opportunities. Now it's down to the rest of the squad to show that desire, show that hunger and prove they can step up and play a part.

    Player Ratings vs Birmingham ("a")

    Thought Osti was head and shoulders above Hyam yesterday and carried the back 4 through most of that game. Aside from that header Hyam spooned into the air in the box, there were a couple of other occasions where he let long balls bounce around him when he should have been making sure he got...

    I must be the only one not yet sold on Gynecologeres. I mean he's clearly got better pedigree than Biamou and Baka but he's a direct upgrade, another defensive-minded forward. Not sure that's really what we needed, felt he looked lost when it came to beating a man, getting the ball out of his...

    I won't be waking up with a boner tomorrow morning but I won't have shit the bed either and I'm kind of alright with that, which about sums up my feelings from the football today too.

    These Birmingham Giants would be better suited to basketball. They'd get 3 points more often too.

    Gyokeres is a forward not a striker. Robins will love him - looks happier doing the defensive work than trying to score.

    Karanka can't have long left in management in this country.

    Keep it as it is, Jamie Allen for one of the strikers on the hour if it's still 1-1. When the space opens up in the 2nd half, they'll hate midfielder runners running at and past them. Especially with so many on yellows.

    We seem to be looking to drop a lot of balls over the top. Not sure this is the pitch or conditions for that, there's another pass in all these moves and plenty of room between their CBs and fullbacks

    We put the referee under 0 pressure to give decisions for us or not give them against us. So passive.

    I've got a good feeling about him, doesn't seem like an 18 year old, or your average footballer, at all. Sounds mature, grounded and like he wants to learn. Looking forward to seeing him on the pitch.

    And me, in that 2nd scenario. If you didn't score the 2nd goal you wouldn't have won, so how can the first goal be the winner?

    Home form

    1 goal conceded in our last 7 home games. What an impressive stat that is, especially after conceding 12 in our first 5. Only been turned over by Bournemouth and Blackburn. 20 points from 36, 1.67 PPG. Will be what keeps us up in the end and encouraging given the teams around us that still have...

    Glad to see Marosi on the bench and involved in the warm up too.

    Looking forward to seeing this 2-3-2-1-2 formation. I'm going for 2-1 City, both goals from Viktor Gorky's Zygotic Mynci, or whatever his name is.

    I'm expecting a big reaction after the previous game and a much brighter performance. Given the players we have missing I'll be happy with a draw IF the fight and passion is back in the performance. Limp to another defeat and we'll be in danger of getting stuck in a rut at the wrong time of the...

    Total disrespect of a talent by Robins

    Would imagine the uncertainity of that is a harder sell to foreign imports though. If you think you are on to a gem with sell on potential and offer 2 with an option but they come back asking for a straight 3 years, it become s a tricky scenario.
