When we beat Blackburn at the CBS Vik celebrated right in front of Hyam when the goal went in. Not sure if there was bad blood between them during the match, or from when Hyam was with us. Always thought Dom was a popular member of the squad. Anyway, as good as Hyam can be, Vik will be a...

Ainsworth must hate us. We used to always beat Wycombe! QPR were awful, really bad. We played OK but yes 3-0 is flattering. Just watched Blackburn against Hull. Nothing to fear there, but I do worry we’re still not creating enough chances. If we go 1-0 down early on Weds and they dig in, do...

Godden has played best when operating as the lone front man, in League One with the box formation, and (when he was fit) back n the Championship. Godden, supported by O'Hare & Palmer next season wouldn't be too shabby, although if Vik goes then there will be a new first choice striker I am...

Rumours suggest that DaSilva is nailed on, and Bidwell will be off. It nearly happened in January. I guess JWE will be competing with Dasilva for LWB next season then. I like Bidwell but if we're playing with wing backs we need a more offensively minded player

If Reading get the 'New Manager Bounce in form' then QPR are in deep trouble (with Cardiff) as it looks like Warnock is going to get Huddersfield out of it. Not sure if the importance of the game to them is a good thing for us. Stoke had nothing to play for and murdered us. Crucial we start...

Yeah maybe for Doyle, as we'll need someone to mark Dykes whose tail will be up after scoring at WBA.

Think he's looked the better of the two Loan WBs. Going forward anyway. Defensively poor but regular game time and coaching could improve that. If Bidwell goes and DaSilva comes in though I am not sure Man City would send him here if he's going to be understudy.

I'd be tempted to play 4-4-2 Wilson Eccles / McNally / Doyle / Bidwell Norton Cuffy / Sheaf / Hamer / Wilson Esbrand Godden / Vik This will allow Cuffy and Esbrand to concentrate on going forward, and it might help the Godden & Vik partnership to blossom.

We also dodged one with Marty James who’s been hampered by injuries at Bristol City. Worrying thing is we pushed hard to land both.

Richard Shaw. Always had mixed feelings about him. He was one of Strachan's favourites (along with Paul Williams, and Paul Telfer). However Strachan's loyalty to Williams & Shaw cost us our Premier League place. They weren't good enough. He should of found a top CB to partner Breen in that...

Worry about JWE defensively, but he looks great going forward. Tough call for Robins with Bidwell on the bench. However, almost certain it will be an unchanged team. Aren't they waiting on a scan for Allen? If it's just heavy bruising he might be in contention. I presume Palmer is out but...

Vik seems incapable of adapting his game. He has been tightly and well marked in the last 2 home games against Stoke and Watford, but he still tries to roll the defender and take on everyone from there. If he released the ball more we'd be more potent. I love him, but I think he's got a little...

You can see how little Robins has to play with for the remaining 5 games. With Allen, Tavares, O'Hare & Palmer all out we have no players that can play as support strikers, No 10's, wide forwards etc. McGuire seems to be just making up the numbers and will be off in May. I think it's almost...

Thought he looked fantastic at LWB (at Watford) but not so convincing at RWB. Didn't help himself in the game against Wrexham in January and seems to have had limited options since then. Seen enough to think he would be an adequate back up for WB next season.

Strange game. We were exposed almost every time Watford attacked (including 2nd half) but competed well and our midfield got on top. You can see how badly we miss O’Hare, Palmer and Allen. What a freaking amazing finish from Godden. Matty has been getting some criticism whilst playing out of...

On the basis that Vik goes in the summer, along with Walker. we sign a top centre forward, who plays the lone role With O’Hare / Palmer / Allen competing for the attacking midfield slots. Godden is more than good enough to be the super sub / back up.

Everyone was utter shit in the first half apart from perhaps Wilson who made 2 great saves, but probably should of done more for the 1st goal seeing it back. I thought Eccles was probably the pick of our midfield 1st half but he got hooked off at half time so Robins obviously didn't agree. I...

I think QPR will have enough to pull clear, and I think Huddersfield and Blackpool will escape. Wigan, Reading and Cardiff to drop for me.

Still can’t believe we’re not giving Rus a spot on the bench, after all he’s a No10. Give him a little game time. If he’s not up to it then fair enough. He’s 20, so should be knocking on the door. Instead we’re trying Howley or McGuire there which is not their natural positions

Yep, Vik had a long ranger, and a shot that the keeper scrambled back for at 0-2 down, + Dabo's curling effort. If one of those had gone in it would of changed the game. Stoke would of sat back and defended their lead.
