Funnily enough we were all in the side stand where Grimmer was misplacing a few passes in the first half. We mentioned the narrowness during the game but the pitch was in great condition so no real excuses. As someone else said McCullum did better when he came on Baka's chance was where he ran...

Callum Wilson: Hunger took me from non-league to England squad

It's fine margins though Nick. We started reasonably well and were passing it to our own players and looking for opportunities Baka was through early and looked likely to score but for a good save and Jones had two decent shots past the post in the first half before Cheltenham scored Once they...

Apparently Shipley's partner has just had a baby and they're up half the night so I don't suppose he's bursting with energy

You're normally a pretty reasonable guy Nick How else do players get match fit other than by playing games? You can train as hard as you like but match fitness only comes after playing a run of games

Yep He was given time and patience Alan Shearer did his at 21 and didn't do too badly afterwards either

It seems a number of contributors are keen to find fault with Jones as he navigates his return from what used to be a career ending injury Callum Wilson came back from his first ACL and did the one in his other leg fairly soon after Duncan Watmore was flying at Sunderland until he did his in...

Just got home from the game Whoever scored first was always going to win this match and that's how it turned out Kids were given their first taste of first team football and two or three continued their rehab from injury It was fairly obvious from the changes that Robins was using this game to...

Football is mad

I heard about it at the time but could only allude to it Only the manager can sort this type of thing

My thoughts exactly Nick He wouldn't pass to McNulty until Robins gave it to him with both barrells

Nazon used to slag off his team mates behind their backs He thought he was playing below his level

Will be there We'll have a decent team out

Think it was something that had the possibility of being serious but happily wasn't

He was isolated because he decided to stand and wait for the ball instead of making runs to find space and pull defenders out of position He needs to start showing some hunger and desire

Think he has another fairly minor injury issue

I usually avoid the forum for a day or two after a defeat The search for scapegoats is dispiriting

A lot of selection decisions are based on how players are doing in training If a full back is getting skinned in every practice game or a forward can't hit a cow's arse with a banjo any manager would have to take that into account when picking a team to start the next game

He was incredibly passive Forward players at this level need to be on the move and keeping defenders guessing He made it so easy for the QPR central defenders who were older first team guys so couldn't be bullied by his size

Reckon we'll have a strong team today but expect one or two changes
