True, but Oggy had a point when he said Baka should’ve fronted Grimmer up there rather than letting it go.

The ball looked like it was playing to Walker, tbf.

I think with MR he’ll give chances to players who show they have the work ethic and positive mindset to improve. This is the kind of opportunity Baka needs to take advantage of.

Is this sarcastic?

With 5 points from losing positions, it makes us one of the best teams in the division, believe it or not. Mind you, we've had plenty of opportunities from deficits, given we've conceded first 10 times!

Under Robins, we’ve barely lost or even dropped points when we’ve scored the first goal. So far, we’ve only picked up 4 points from a losing position (QPR and Norwich). Last season we were good coming from behind, but that’s more of an exception to the rule. Objectively, the first goal, more...

Personally, I love it. I play rugby most Saturdays in the non-COVID world so having my Saturdays to watch football is great. I wonder how many home games I’ll actually get to see with my season ticket this season!

Robins clearly likes some of those players on the bench so I agree there’s probably a reason he’s not bringing them on. For example, bringing Sheaf on I don’t think is a strong move. He hasn’t shown he has a goal in him (like Shipley or Hamer) and his defensive capabilities aren’t to Kelly’s...

Our first win on the road this season and I get bragging rights in the workplace! Another convincing performance against a fellow promoted team would be good!

Agreed, and even COH botched an opportunity or two too. Our final ball was off tonight as a whole. Hamer is a CM all day.

I’m not so sure. It’s clear that Wilson has different instructions to Marosi. We’re a lot more direct with Wilson, which coincides with playing Baka/Biamou up front. One thing that irked me every so often was a Marosi kick that flies over the wing back’s head...

I agree he wasn’t great on the ball, but his value is in what he does off the ball. Always getting clearances, interceptions and tackles and you see him point to other players to organise them. It’s no surprise our defence and with it, our results have improved since Kelly has returned to the...

You were questioning the worthiness of having an academy. Yet, in the last 5 years, the vast majority of our transfer revenue has come from selling our academy products. That’s without me including academy products who played for us, but we didn’t sell. Any players who make it into the first...

You say that as if we haven't sold the following players for 6 figure fees in the last few seasons; G Thomas, Harries, Stevenson, Bayliss, Maddison*, Wilson*, McCallum (who joined at 16/17). Frankly, this influx of players have been the lifeline for the club when we were at the depths of L1 and...

Serena Williams is a great example. Back in 1998 both the Williams’ sisters challenged the world number 203 (who dropped 100+ places in the rankings a shortly after the event) to a game and both got swept by him. After the matter, the guy who said he ‘played like a number 600 to keep it fun’ and...

Funnily enough, all of those players would be around the tallest players at the last women’s World Cup. The tallest being 6”1 (my height), making Vincenti the tallest by 3 inches. Again, there’s numerous cases of elite level women’s teams losing heavily to school boy teams (around U15 to U17)...

A lot of sports are allowed to be mixed up until the ages of around 10 - including Rugby Union. The gulf between men’s and women’s football is the physical side of things. Bigger humans, bigger lungs, and more muscle mass makes for an uneven playing field. Ironically, inclusion of women into...

Same, it was his best performance for us ever. As a team, we need better performances and results against some of the more established teams.

I’m sure we’re alike in that criticisms in the past aren’t personal. As a fan, you want players who care. Equally, we all want the team to achieve its goals and personally, I don’t care what players or systems achieve the end goal. I’m going to go full circle and credit MR for cultivating this...

Agreed. My concern is that when the chips are down, it’s Godden and Walker we need to rely on. I want both Baka and Biamou to prove everyone wrong deliver for the club. Biamou seems to genuinely care about our club, which is a bit of a rarity these days and he’s come a long way too. One thing...
