2nd. Burnley champions. We nick 2nd place from Sheff Utd on the last day of the season

Agreed. Our run to the 5th round whilst in League 2 I’m sure helped with getting to the play offs

Was hoping for at least League 2 / National League loans for our youngsters. Wasn’t Alabi being considered for the 1st team a few weeks ago?

Any of the following away from home please. Liverpool Spurs Arsenal Villa

Fine with me, if we can secure him until the end of the season, with a new contract, and King gives Robins a little bit of cash in January, we have a good chance for Play Offs or even Automatic. If we don't do it Vik goes for minimum 20M in the summer and we can find a replacement, and fix...

Managed to not get my hopes up last night with the King news, as ultimately we know any takeover would need to include the stadium to change our fortunes, and he was never going to get it over Ashley. Our fate it seems now, rests on whether Ashley wants the club, with all the noise over the...

Sounds like King’s takeover is done, with the quotes from SISU confirming it. If the ownership of the CBS is still up in the air then there’s 3 scenarios as I see it. 1) The King takeover has only been done to put King / Sisu in a better position to obtain the CBS. 2) The CBS deal is done...

Despite trying to follow the long thread on the Arena, it's got far too murky for me. In the event that we end up in a status quo, with SISU still owning us, and we just end up with a new landlord, then we need to remain firm (as we did in the summer to be fair) and keep our assets. Yes we did...

Had a feeling all that early season adversity would bring a bite to our game, and we’re up to full speed now. Just waiting for that Palmer / O’Hare combo to spark.

Agreed, but I am sure Jamie Allen was rested against Wigan with this game in mind. Also, he doesn't deserve to lose his place after his excellent performances against Watford and Blackburn. I think Allen will come in for one of Palmer & O'Hare.

Tough, Tough game this one. QPR's away record isn't great, but they will be well up for it after losing 2 at home on the spin. They will certainly look to attack us, which might work in our favour, but will also be a big test for our defence e.g Wilson, Eccles and Doyle (if Rose doesn't make...

Good. Waghorn, Dabo & Kelly should be fully fit when we resume and as none of our players are involved in the WC, we should avoid any further injuries. Therefore, we'll have a stronger team and bench come mid December.

Allen will definitely start on Saturday, for Palmer or O'Hare. Otherwise unchanged, if Rose pulls through. Thought Palmer & O'Hare were both under-par last night, but we know how good they will be once at full fitness.

We’re looking reasonably solid at the back, and just need to keep the pressure on. Don’t see an obvious substitution at the moment.

The Fantastic 5 - our strongest line up, midfield and attack anyway. Not a lot on the bench to change things, but hopefully we’ll be out of sight by 70 mins

As much as I would like to see the box formation with Sheaf, Hamer, Palmer, O'Hare & Vik, Jamie Allen has been superb recently so has to start. I'd bring in Bidwell for Burroughs and O' Hare for Palmer for this one. Saying that though I thought Burroughs looked the real deal on Saturday. No...

Eccles will be more disciplined than Kane, and a good chance for Burroughs. Otherwise, a strong team. He’s right to rest O’Hare with the 2 home games coming up.

I know he tripled his wages or something when signing for Reading from us, but I wonder if he thinks now he should of stayed put. He won over the SBA, and Robins clearly knew how to manage him. He was a clever player too, no doubt he would of scored goals in League 1

Apparently Gus is 50/50 and Fadz hasn't trained since Tuesday. Think we might see a few changes tomorrow. Do we risk Vik, O'Hare and Hamer or keep them fresh for the Wigan match. I'd play Eccles in midfield for Hamer, Kane in at RWB. Palmer for O'Hare.

Brilliant 1st half. , but Blackburn look dangerous going forward. They spend too much time trying to be Man Coty with the short passing in defence, but I feel we’ll need a 2nd goal. Some of our forward play was excellent. Vik not at his best though
