Head to head record I think. They beat us by 1 goal, we beat them by 2.

Godden and Walker are two strikers who will score 10+ goals over 46 games. A full preseason and better luck with injuries, they will have a good season next year. We definitely need a 3rd choice option who is a bit different to what we currently have. Personally, our main priorities ought to...

With tonight’s result, we can realistically kick on with our plans for next season as a Championship club.

After the loanees go back to their clubs, there’s a lot of work to be done in the recruitment department. We need to have a bit of a clear out this summer.

One thing we’ve got to bear in mind is that this season you have to rotate more often than not because of the turnaround of games. In short, I don’t think Shipley nor Allen earned a start or Robins thought they’d tear it up. It’s probably down to players like O’Hare running themselves into the...

We don’t need to endure another ‘Taxi for Robins’ thread from @Grendel until at least August/September now!

Everyone, take a deep breath. You can stop being paranoid about Rotherham and Derby all of a sudden winning all their games. No coincidence we're a better side with Godden and Walker back to some form of fitness. They score good goals, make positive runs and games open up with their threat.

I like Biamou, has had some good performances and got a nice ‘strikers’ goal tonight. You’re absolutely right, he doesn’t have the killer instinct. I’d offer him an extension, but we can’t really having him starting 19 games again next season.

You can’t knock the finishes both of Stoke’s goals, absolute quality strikes. The positioning leaves a lot to be desired...

Well, he did prevent a goal...

@shmmeee is 17th still our ceiling?

Both Walker and Godden give the team natural finishing ability, goals like today, Barnsley and Brentford (H) demonstrate why they both need to start. Without causing a new Biamou debate, he just doesn’t have that killer instinct. Biamou can offer some good interplay and be a right nuisance...

Grimmer’s goal against Exeter in the playoff final. That sealed the win for me and the moment I knew we were getting promoted. I missed the Checkatrade but watched it in the Uni library doing my dissertation and cheered as we scored but it wasn’t the same as being there!

If he was truly stubborn then he would be more likely to fit what players he has available to the same system. I get the impression a lot of people on here think you can just change systems and styles of play at the drop of a beat. You need some consistency of tactics and systems or players...

How can anyone accuse Robins of being tactically stubborn? Anyone who’s followed us in his second spell can see we’ve changed systems several times. Real life football management is not like FIFA or Football Manager where changing tactics changes things at the click of the button.

I wouldn’t rest on our laurels, but to get relegated at this point, we’d have to lose all our games whilst Derby and Rotherham need to win 50% of their remaining games. Even if we lose both away fixtures, it’d be surprising if we fail to pick up a single point from PNE or Millwall at home...

Technically, we can be caught. But the likelihood of both Rotherham and Derby catching us up is not very probable. Frankly, Rotherham are running out of games to make the gap up and they’ve blew their chance of survival by losing to Wycombe, ourselves, Birmingham and drawing to Huddersfield in...

With Sheaf, the decision MR has to make is how much he is willing to invest in his development to make it work. He’s had some good moments, some bad. But, 750k is not an insignificant sum to us so it may be worth looking elsewhere.

Who’d have thought Brexit would save football?

We’re 18th now and Biamou has been our main striker this season. He’s had some good games here and there, but does not have a killer instinct in front of goal. I have no doubt in my mind that had Godden played as many games as Biamou, we’d be higher up the table. This season, he’s 1 in 3.5...
