If JCS & McFadz are out I'd prefer we threw in an U23 player to the defence rather than putting Sheaf back there again. Jay McGrath or George Burroughs, maybe the new guy Alabi. I guess Bidwell will play there though, with Maastsen at left wing back, allowing Sheaf & Hamer back into midfield...

Totally agree. He wasn't merely adequate against QPR and Peterborough, he was excellent. Technically he has the attributes for that position, and I would be comfortable with Shippers being a back-up to Bidwell in that position next season. However, as you say he is lost in midfield.

Great striker. He doesn't have pace, but that also means he could be knocking them in at this level for the next 3-4 years

I would keep him, He will be on low wages, we are severely lacking in attacking midfield players / wingers. Robins has been very cautious with him this season, and it's either that he's bringing him back slowly, or doesn't rate him. If it is the latter, I find it strange he has been named on...

Agreed. Thought he was great in Leagues 1 & 2, great left foot, spectacular goals etc. if he’s kept on, it can only be as back up Left Wing Back. Maatsen won’t be here next season and presume Bidwell will be first choice. I’m sure he would prefer to drop to League 1 and play as a midfielder.

That’s it for Shipley now surely. Completely anonymous. Waghorn too. His legs have gone, and Robins has to try and move him on in the summer. Hopefully we’ll see more of Jones and Tavarres before the end of the season. Otherwise I thought we battled well, Viktor has to take 1 of the 2 chances

Such a delight watching this team. Going 1-0 down against the form team in the division, and having lost our last 2….Win 4-1.

Back to the box. Hyam for Rose. Sheaf for Waghorn, O'Hare for Godden. Allen much better playing more advanced. Got some strength on the bench too with Tavarres, Godden, Dabo & Waghorn if need be.

I would argue we are missing 4 players tonight that would be in our best staring X1 O’Hare Hyam Sheaf Dabo I would also make a case for Eccles.

That’s the poorest I’ve seen us play for a long time. We were consistently 5-6 out of 10 across the whole team. Robins needs to occasionally give a flair player a start, Jodi Jones, Tavarres etc.

Our defence needs some serious work in the summer. McFadz was poor today and he’s been rusty since coming back into the team. I’d give him another year, but not necessarily as a starter. Really not sure about Rose, for all his attributes, he makes errors and I’m not sure if he is physical enough...

Moore Hyam Fadz JCS Sheaf Howley Kane Allen O'Hare Maatsen Gyk Jodi Jones to get at least 30 mins, and also a look at Tavarres. No Shipley please

We have been great this season, last season we looked liked conceding every time the opposition attacked, and although we played some great stuff early on in the season, we got nowhere close to winning games. Robins changed it, went ugly & direct, and we stayed up comfortably. I am happy we have...

Howley to start for Sheaf (who needs a rest), Allen for Shipley. McFadz for Hyam, switch Rose to the right.

Hopefully he will get his chance. He looked great in his cameo appearances at Bournemouth and Huddersfield, so not sure why people are writing him off already. He still looks like he has pace too. If he gets more minutes and some starts before the end of the season, and is not up to it, then...

Would presume Fadz, Allen, Hamer & Kane will be back in as they didn't play much on Sat. Would like to see Jodi given a start, but from all accounts he wasn't great on Sat

2-1 City.

FFS, we played some great stuff, they couldn’t handle Viktor at all, with Allen, O’Hare and Sheaf playing through them constantly. Once McFadz hit the crossbar I started to feel we’re not going to score here and of course they score 2 minutes later. Boro were awful and lucky today, but we’re...

We always lost at The Riverside in the Premier League days, didn’t matter what form we were in, guaranteed 2-0 defeat. Hated the fixture. I’ll take a score draw tomorrow

Kane for Eccles & O'Hare for Shipley if those two are fit. If not, Waghorn for Shipley. Hopefully Jodi Jones back on the bench.
