Vik could of pushed for the move in January but he didn't, Perhaps he still thinks there's a chance we can go up, however slim. He may have an idea of where he wants to go next, and the likes of Southampton / Leeds and Fulham are not it. 2 of those could be in The Championship next season...

I'm not sure why Godden is suddenly deemed not good enough. He suits the lone striker role with decent attacking midfielders behind him, this season he's played in a 2 with Vik which clearly doesn't work. Robins insists in persevering with this. We started the season that way (forced by...

Matty Godden - He’s a fox in the box but like Vik is best as the lone front man even though they are very different kind of strikers. That’s the problem we have and why they can’t play as a partnership. Walker more suited to partner Vik I reckon. More pace than Godden too. Matty to be super sub

I don't think you can blame Robins. We've been cursed by ACL injuries in his 2nd spell (Jodi Jones 3 times, Biamou, Andreu, O'Hare) and players such as Kelly, Dabo & Godden are just injury prone. O'Hare went 2 years being battered from pillar to post without getting injured. Also look at players...

If we don't play 4-4-2 then Burroughs has to start. I actually thought JWE showed a few glimpses last night of quality, and if we persist with 3 at the back he is going to have to play AMC. Wouldn't mind seeing BNC also in that role, they both have that flash of skill / trickery that can...

Surely we cannot play 3-5-2 or 3-4-1-1 now. What with Allen, O'Hare & Palmer out for long periods. Time to switch to 4-4-2 based on the squad we have., perhaps 4-5-1 as well. Wilson Dabo Fadz McNally Bidwell Cuffy Hamer Eccles JWE Godden Vik Burroughs to fight it out with Dabo for...

4-8 weeks possibly more for those injuries. We might see them back for the last 2-3 games. McGuire will need to step up now, or we change formation.

Thought the subs actually improved us. Walker was more involved than Godden. Burroughs provided way more energy than Cuffy, and Rose played some good balls out of defence. This will be a crucial few days for Robins. He has to stitch together a team for Saturday, in a game we should be winning...

Still no idea on Palmer’s injury severity. Can’t believe CWR interviewer failed to ask Robins about that. Sheaf isn’t far away, but if Robins doesn’t fancy McGuire then we’ve got no attacking midfielders.

Expected line up. No attacking midfielders in squad with Palmer and O’Hare out. At least we have Walker and McGuire if Matty can’t last the 90. Apparently Palmer had scan today. Could do with some good news there but just our luck he’ll be out for the season

This would be the time to start McGuire behind Vik, but his lack of game time suggests he's not impressing Robins. Only option is Godden I think, unless he throws a curveball and moves Cuffy to attacking midfield and slots Burroughs or Dabo to RWB, which I can't see him doing. Have full faith...

We also had a couple of horrible injuries that season. Andreu was the marquee signing and was out for 12 months in his 2nd game and then Jodi did his ACL in December. Luckily Shipley and Bayliss stepped up well from the youth team and Biamou became the perfect foil for McNulty

Would be great if Callum can be back for pre-season, and in the squad for the first game in August. Wouldn't bet against it.

He lost the plot during that 15/16 season. Not helped by the Maddison sale sucking the optimism out of the fans and the fact Maddison couldn’t be arsed after his transfer. Still that team should have been at the very least in the play offs. Fleck, Maddison, Armstrong, Murphy etc.

I think we have a few players that could make the step up O'Hare Hamer Vik Palmer Sheaf Eccles (as a squad player) If we were able to sign and McInally I think he would be decent in the Premier

We should be confident 10 points from 15. Can’t imagine Mowbray will set up to nullify us so i it should be an open game. Then again Norwich did the same thing. If Vik, Palmer and Gus are all firing, we win.

Palmer was under par 1st half but was brilliant after the break until he faded.

Good win. Our passing got way better 2nd half and started to cut through them. Rode our luck 1st half but we still looked dangerous when countering. Eccles impressed as did McInally

He's nowhere near breaking into Man City's first team squad. Best thing is another 1 year loan for him, and I am sure we'll be in pole position if that's the case. However would like to think we might try and sign both McNally and Panzo as perms in the summer if Burnley go up and Forest stay...

No reason why we can't get 10-12 points in the next four games. Rotherham (A), Sunderland (H), Preston (A) and Huddersfield (A). That will surely put us in the Top 6. Preston is a bogey ground, so maybe we take a draw there. Even the next 3 after those games are kind (Blackpool, Wigan & Hull).
