    Confirmed that Jobello & JCH are not the same person!

    Installing a drop kerb and drive

    Council's are now ensuring that drives meet a certain spec, so be mindful of that... the dropped kerb is the easy bit once they take the 100 odd quid off you to get a quote!

    Loans - let’s not bother

    If they weren't beneficial to all parties then they would cease to exist. Even going back 20 years or so, there have been young stars going down on loan... Beckham to Preston, Terry to Forest & Defoe to Bournemouth come to mind... in those cases the player and the clubs all prospered. However...

    Loans - let’s not bother

    As regards Grimmer, Robins may have thought that (whether rightly or wrongly) he would not be up to L1 level, hence the early move for Sterling.

    Old Heads

    You do know, we used to have good players here... but from who you have seen... fair enough, it's your picks.

    U23 v Barnsley

    Nope to the 1st part of the question.

    U23 v Barnsley

    Nope... he's in the crowd with Shipley.

    U23 v Barnsley

    There was an exceptional touch from him to keep the ball alive by the touchline 10 mins earlier... looks a prospect.

    Rosy retrospection

    Yes... I think the best defender we have ever had is Michael Rose, and the best midfielder is Andy R... aaah, I'll just get my coat!

    The new 433 or a switch to 442/4231 ?

    Judging from the Southend game, there was a disconnect between the 3 in midfield and the 3 up top. This gave the impression that Baka and the wingers were isolated (the other theory is that the front 3 are not up to speed yet). Whilst Allen is the real deal, he will not solve this as, from...

    Goddard = A person with a retarded view on Godden after only seeing him play for 30 mins.

    Jobello

    Let's hope you are right, but one thing is for certain. He will not be better than Thomas doing the dirty work going back and helping his back four.

    Random places you’ve met a city fan

    Was living in London for uni about 2002 and was walking down Tottenham Court Road in my black away shirt (think it was one they went down from the Prem in). Bloke in a white van starts honking his horn shouting GET IN SON... No, he was not a paedophile but a fellow Sky Blue fan wearing exactly...

    I would not worry... I doubt Junior Brown will ever put the shirt on again.

    Unless there is a move lined up or he is totally unfit, I would experiment with Junior Brown at RB, the reverse to what we did with Marc Edworthy a few years back. It won't happen... neither MR or Brown would like it, but it would bring in experience there.

    We are playing an inferior team... We will destroy them... obviously! Seriously though, I don't expect wholesale changes as MR will want to win, if going by his 'cup run to generate money' interview.

    Kastaneer, Allen, Godden

    Robins did say 2/3 weeks for both prior to Southend so, with a bit of luck, one or both could be on the bench against Exeter.
