At some point we'll go on a run (hopefully!). I think the previous 2 seasons we had a run of 4 wins on the bounce at one point, that really catapults you up there. We only really need to be midtable within touching distance all season, with one well timed run, and then finish strongly when we're...

If we can manage Sheaf's fitness between now and January, resting him when possible to keep him fit for the majority of games, then we should be able to get ourselves into a decent top half of the table position, minimum. Then hopefully we can recruit in the CDM position in January (even better...

There must be a reason why so many teams don't leave a couple of players up... To us mere idiots, it seems like an absolute no brainer to leave 2 up so they have to keep 3 back. I genuinely want to hear from someone in the football world at least what the logic is against this, if not, why it...

People get so irrational about results at this stage of the season. We're losing games by 1 goal - we're in every game we play. Time and time, under Robins, we have bedding in phases of new systems and players, until it clicks and then we go on mad runs until injuries/fatigue hit us. Other than...

I'm going to all 3 but if I had to give one a miss it would be Spurs anyday. Watford is a 3pm Saturday kick off, so can make a day of it and it will be fun regardless of the result. The Spurs game is a Wednesday, which is always more of a pain, going after work and with work the next day; the...

Does this mean Sakamoto isn't out? Or will we need someone to replace him as well? Probably Asante or maybe Bassette can play on the wing. Ghana play their last game tomorrow night so BTA may be ok to start

My theory on Lati is Robins is using him more at the moment for his leadership, as he's an experienced talker and organiser from his youth career at Man City. Particularly at a time when we have new players and are trying to play a new system. He used him a lot at the start of last season too...

How is Jamie Sterry not getting a mention?

Sky blue army, Sky blue army, Up We Go!

Had to log into each of our accounts individually to buy tickets in singles. Seems to not ne working to allow buying for people in your network. Hopefully this gets resolved, had to pay for multiple postages too!

He probably knows about the frustrations, but is adopting the more recent tactic politicians use. See what they can get away with, and then retract quickly if the public outcry is too large.

Yeah, I think and hope so too. If he does then happy days. If he goes later on, and assuming we've pretty much finished assembling our squad, I'd like to see us maybe one bonus player of real quality and keep the rest back for January. We'd be really well placed to have a good go then.

Agree, wouldn't mind a loan for the CB or ST. But if the right player with potential comes up, then I'm sure we'll sign them. The CM needs to be ours though, I feel.

So if he goes, we get another £2m, plus at least £2m+ we must have already got from Vik's add ons for his goals and winning the league, circa £2m prize money from the cup. Plus cup gate receipts... Even without Vik going as well we must be close to breaking even on our transfers, and we've...

I don't think it's going to matter who starts and who doesn't in the wing positions next season. We're going to have 4 good options and Robins will play whoever is freshest to keep our high tempo up He'll chop and change them all to keep them fresh. Kind of like he did in the League 1 title...

Definitely works, maybe change 'Sky Blues' to 'The City's on fire' Just rolls of the tongue better

It all comes down to the Overton window and it varies by country and perpetually shifts over time. In the UK, the window has been tracking further right over recent years, and is considerably further right than most of Europe. Even though in Europe the window is also shifting right. For...

I think he'll deploy the same trick he used in the League 1 title winning side, but with a different formation: Keep it tight for an hour with Shipley and Westbrooke at the top of the box. And then bring on O'Hare and Allen after 60 minutes. The influx of energy was too much for most teams. I...

There's an argument to be made that a small 'homely' training ground has helped us foster the close unit and team spirit that we've managed to build under Robins and Adi. If any of you have seen the '99 documentary on Amazon where United were still using The Cliff training ground (shit hole) and...
