We’ve just not had much production to warrant playing 2 AMs this season. At least Shipley and COH have goals in them. It might be worth being Dabo on to switch McCallum at LWB and push Giles forward. I’m happy with a point, but we’ve not looked threatening at all really.

Not according to their commentators, got the beating of us apparently. Decent defensive showing so far, but the two AMs aren’t offering us anything so far. Gooden is so isolated and it’s not his fault.

Ok? Two separate sports and two separate governing bodies. The RFU and the Premiership clubs decided the playoffs was the best way to offset the international breaks. That was one of the contexts as to why it was introduced in the first place. That, and a big day out at Twickenham. Now, there...

As other people have mentioned, the playoff system is quite common for a number of sports. The context for rugby is very different too. With Rugby Union, international players who are called up play for their country in the middle of the season, do not play for their clubs during their call up...

Not too different to how we have a 3rd promotion spot using the playoffs. The fairest way to do it would be to have 3rd place, but also a pretty boring way to end it.

I’m sure he’s up to prove he can do it away at Stoke on a Tuesday night. After all, the stars are aligned because we play Stoke away on a Wednesday night.

Messi wants out of Barcelona... reckon we could swoop in?

To be fair, you weren’t really fond of Robins in League 1 or 2 either. Two promotions later, I doubt there’s anything more he could do to win you over. At least your consistent in your criticisms.

Mentioned this before, but it might be a shout playing him him further forward when Dabo returns. McCallum has been playing well, but is not a natural RWB and Giles has the pace to cause the opposition defence issues. Personally, I could see us adapting the current system to accommodate two...

He’s a good manager, his career reflects that. Just not with us. We bottled it by not making the playoffs in his first full season. Following that season, the squad he assembled was poor and setup us up for failure. Perhaps there was stuff going on behind closed doors, such as reduced budget...

We've played 2 teams in the bottom half. We've had a tough start to the season.

Brentford are very good team! Comparing ourselves to them isn’t going to help. It didn’t help that we had a weakened side too.

Only football could introduce technological advancements to the game and the officiating actually becomes worse. Surely there should be scope for a challenge system - one per half/game?

Robins comments are insightful. He often talks about ‘coming to grips’ with this league. That will eventually come and we’ve been naive in a lot of games so far. Considering we have next to no wingers we don’t have many options. Your options probably look like 4-1-2-1-2 (diamond) or 3-4-1-2...

I have a mate who supports Wycombe, and rather us than him at the minute!

He’s the 5th top scorer in the league... Personally, I think we should partner Walker with Gooden. Gooden can be quite isolated at times, and doesn’t have the pace to make us a threat with direct balls. His hold up play is very much underrated, but, doesn’t have the physicality to impose...

Take the point based on Brentford and Barnsley. Today, we had the best chance of the game before the red card. We’re always going to struggle against Blackburn if we have 10 men. They’ve battered a few teams this season already. I do agree that we need an option to be more direct. Which is why...

I’ll reiterate my view that we should play 3-4-1-2 when Walker is back and getting game time. But, we’ve had a real tough run of games to start the season. By next Friday, we would have played 4 of the top 6, including 1st and 2nd. The early front runners in Brentford and a Blackburn team who...

Wait, a team assembled for less than £2m can’t compete for Championship playoffs? I don’t think many fans planned for us to lose 20-odd games this season, and it really shows.

I don’t think so. We’ve played 2 teams in the bottom half of this league, and picked up 4 points. I'll reserve my judgement until we have played a few teams around us.
