    Moore 6 (didn't have much to do but claimed a couple of high balls well. Uncharacteristically missed an opportunity to release Tavares after collecting a corner. We had a 2 v 2 opportunity. Tavares was looking for it and the crowd were screaming for it, but he rolled it out short) Kane 6 (I...

    Dreamt last night we were winning 4-1 but it was against Man Utd. Hamer scored the fourth but can't remember who scored the others. Unfortunately I woke up after 51 minutes so can't be sure we ended up with 3 points. Hopefully it is an omen for a good first half at least, or maybe it is a...

    Godden out for another FOUR weeks

    Godden is so unlucky having another freak 'injury', just as was establishing himself as a Championship goalscorer.

    If one up top I would go: Moore Kane Hyam Rose Clarke-Salter Maatsen Sheaf Allen O'Hare Gyokeres Jones If two up top: Moore Kane Hyam Rose Clarke-Salter Maatsen Sheaf Allen O'Hare Gyokeres Waghorn However I expect Fadz to start. I would also be keen on Jones playing off Gyokeres with O'Hare in...

    We have done well in recent years bouncing back after a disappointing performance so hopefully the same again. I imagine JCS will start and probably Maatsen. I would like Rose in at the centre again but think he might be dropped after his poor show v Cardiff on the left side. Maybe Jodi Jones...

    Hyam

    For me the most improved player from last season and probably the most consistent. Agree he seems quicker and definitely stronger.

    Robins Interview

    The problem is we play the majority of games with intensity and with a small squad. It was going to catch up with us. Even more so on heavier pitches. I do think though he should get a better balance between experience/fatigued and inexperienced/fresh. Give Jones a start and bring on Howley and...

    Moore 6 (poor distribution but not much he could have done with the goals) Kane 6 (no real threat going forward) Bidwell 6 (same as Kane) Hyam 8 (solid. Intercepted well high up the pitch which created attacking chances) McFadzean 5 (looked laboured in and out of possession. Could have done...

    Felt sorry for O'Hare today. Thought he was carrying the front line. The only player with any urgency or creativity. Great cross for Gyokeres chance. Robbed of a penalty. Otherwise we were toothless. Could say the same about Cardiff but two moments of poor defending were penalised but decent...

    Weather going to be horrible on the weekend too - strong winds and rain. Even more sapping on their energy levels.

    Trouble / Segregation at the CBS

    Cocaine use across the country has increased as has football violence so I think it is a reasonable comment to make. It sickens me seeing mindless violence. There is some irony in your aggressive comment!

    Maatsen

    I thought O'Hare was better yesterday. Some nice moments where he turned well and was a little more direct with his running. With regards Maatsen, I would be delighted to have him again next year. He has done well playing an unfamiliar position and I liked the way he took on the shot early and...

    Trouble / Segregation at the CBS

    Get sniffer dogs in at all grounds to deter this seemingly rising trend of cocaine use at football grounds and start banning anyone provoking or behaving with violence.

    I get your second point but regarding the first, Allen has been one of the best players on the pitch in a number of games only to find himself on the bench the game after. Shipley's decent performances have been at LWB. He has been awful in midfield time after time after time.

    Unfortunately I do think we will see much more of him because Robins doesn't appear to see what 99% of fans see. If he does feature I hope it is at LWB with Maatsen AM.

    I am not sure what Robins sees when Shipley plays in midfield. If I was Allen or Jones I would be stunned and furious to see him being preferred ahead of them. Allen has had some really decent performances and Jones has not been given a chance from the start. I assume Shipley will probably start...

    Thought Hyam was excellent second half. Gyokeres was a nuisance for their defence. Otherwise it was a dire performance but 3 points is what matters. Jamie Allen should have come on much earlier. Shipley did nothing but give the ball away. How can he possibly be a better option than Allen or Jones??!
