The positives . Palmer looks the real deal, when O’Hare is back that will be some combination. Bidwell good. Waghorn and Doyle good too when they came on. Too many off their game today, Sheaf and Vik in particular. Michael Rose, Jamie Allen and Simon Moore. Not good enough

Don't like it. Was really hoping for the Chocolate Brown kit this season, but glad in a way it hasn't come out as the 3rd kit. Still have hope a brown kit will be the official 2nd strip for next season.

Most likely Eccles in for Hamer to partner Sheaf. Or Allen moves back and we give Palmer a start. With Kelly, Hamer & O'Hare out we are looking light in midfield.

We also dodged a bullet with Matty James who has had countless injuries at Bristol City since signing last summer. From all accounts though we tried hard to get both, which in itself is worrying too. I am sure we would of all been happy with JCS signing this summer, but if he was then out for...

Exactly. Rotherham was postponed 11 days ago. Had they started at that point, we could of had our 2 home games this week. Now the first Saturday home game is not until September 10th.

Good read. Huddersfield almost certain to be postponed? I was hoping they'd get it playable. Shit, but playable.

10 days ago I have never known being so excited & optimistic about the beginning of the season. Then we had the O’Hare injury, and now this shit show. I’m sure EFL will take action. We obviously have no influence at all in regards to The CBS, rumours of our grounds people not being allowed...

Would be more exciting than those Ryton pitch videos they gave us in the close season! If the referee does a thumbs up we’d all go mental. Need to play this game

Surely they can get it sorted by tomorrow evening. Even so. f*ckong embarrassing. Sooner the egg chasers pack up and move to another city the better. This is The Championship, you can’t be calling off a game in August because of the pitch!

Long time until Sept 1st. Time enough for at least 1 of Walker, Waghorn & Kane to sort a move. Sure Robins will have a decent loan player ready to move on when and if one of the 3 go. Definitely looks like he will need an attacking central midfield player. No need for a RWB (even if Kane goes)...

Need to keep Waghorn around I think. If O'Hare is out until Nov/Dec we need players that can slot into that No 10 role. Walker and Kane to go hopefully.

How has Walker earned a place ahead of Godden? Ok Matty missed a good chance on Sunday but he put himself about, and was feeding on scraps for most of the game. If anyone, it would be Fabio starting with Vik

Don't agree that most of what he did was poor. We suddenly had a link between midfield and attack when he came on. He played several clever passes and flicks that got us forward. Jamie Allen wasn't offering that, but that's not his position. If Palmer can be given license to try these things...

Dabo and Adaramola to start as wing backs. We will need a more attacking edge, being at home. Not sure Palmer is ready yet, but would be tempted to start him instead of Allen.

Directly North of London, and before you hit Birmingham / Leicester. How many clubs of our size/potential are there? Watford, Luton? Both smaller. Northampton? Forget it. CCFC could be a very attractive purchase.

Safe to assume that Fabio is clearly in Robin's plans this season, being brought on early yesterday at Sunderland. Good to see, he clearly has something about him. He's raw, no doubt but certainly a player that will make things happen, with his direct style and pace. I presume had Waghorn been...

Panzo definitely an upgrade on JCS on that evidence. He's quicker, stronger and just looks more up for it. Only downside is that he won't be here next season unless Forest go down and we go up, then we might have a chance to buy him

Few thoughts. Bidwell - He’s just not attack-minded enough for our system, where we need our WB’s to be bombing forward. He got badly done for the goal, but after that he was solid. Adaramola will be first choice LWB once bedded in Moore - Rally poor error. If it was really that close...

Palmer is not ready (fitness-wise), so if Callum is out, we’ve got a bit of a problem. Waghorn & Allen supporting Viktor., if Robins plays the box?

Was really enjoying the last week in the build up to this game. Can’t remember the last time we had a ‘Big’ game as the opener. Now 12 hours or so from kick off much more tense. The rumour of O’Hare’s injury (hopefully bullsh*t) not helping.
