To be honest, I’ll always think it was a brave second half and extra time. Young squad at Wembley for the first time for a majority of them and they absolutely battled one of the biggest clubs in England. Think it just took us a while to get over the occasion

Yeah, I’ve, because I’m a sad act, already started thinking about who I’d like the club to target and both are captains at there clubs. Robins can’t pull them together on the pitch, it’s hard and even harder like you say without a faz or Kelly. Even Allen who’s been around the block and knows...

Think we all did that. I know I was guilty thinking we would be second. In reflection while they all want to do well, the pressure that must then cause when it doesn’t go to plan must be immense. I have heard behind close doors, a couple are feeling the weight of the world to turn it around...

I get that but think what annoys most to argue about Robins is we all know or can see sparks of how talented they can be. Thinking on it with a positive lens, once we get going and start picking up some results. I could see being hard to stop. All the ingredients per say are there from...

Yeah think that’s the big problem. I can argue tactics as I have but this is a young squad (maybe the second youngest after Sunderland). Confidence is always important the younger they are as you just don’t have the life skills to pull yourself back up. Think it must be a big dent to confidence...

Think it’s more this is the youngest squad Mark has had. He can’t be on the pitch with them, and there hurting. They concede a silly corner and there heads drop. I know it’s not the same but when I used to play Rugby I did this, any small mistake I made became a mountain that anything good I...

You know what, I think fair enough. Going to try and avoid being as negative as I can be, and give it until Sunderland international break. We always say we have roles to play, regardless of everything want us to be able to say we did everything we could to back Robins.

Sheaf is absolutely our best player and the one I would make the focal point. He was poor at Preston but honestly think it came from a position of trying to much. He was trying to be the goal scorer or too much an ambitious pass and think that’s just due to the pressure of the situation. Would...

Doesn’t seem like it. Probably the club trying to allow players private news to stay that way or maybe a different view point on the GDPR law and Robins being old school just forgetting the changes in the moment and getting a playful nudge on it.

Maybe the club have just changed the policy from, tell us if you don’t want to share it versus we won’t share until you tell us it’s okay.

Where we will be if we hire Harry Watling 🤣

Completely agree with this. If USAs source was correct on the source, seems Doug might have already started doubting Robins. Your spot on though, if we are sticking with Robins, Back him as your manager and give him the experienced player and assistant. Throw the dice and see what happens, I...

More just like he’s adapting to it imo. Makes sense and to be honest not sure why the manager should be sharing what Injuries players have. Timelines absolutely tho.

Yeah why I fancy the first one but would be happy for us too rotate any of the three but would start with sheaf as a DM Personally would start in the first or in a box as per below. But think it could be a great option if chasing and starting with sheaf in DM

Alternatively we could got torp in a CAM role.

On Torp feel he is a far better ten so if I was going to start him would be in a 5-2-1-2 in the advanced midfield role.

Understand this and felt similar as think Thomas would be better sweeping however feel Lati reads the game quite well. Plus I feel consistenty has to be the main focus atm especially for defence.

Line up for me. Keeping the back three the same, changing the shape slightly to allow Sheaf more time on the ball. Think Sheaf needs to allow himself not to rush like Preston. Will also mean he can play as quarterback pinging passes to the runners ahead. Also means he’s not in as forward...

I respect your view but really disagree on this. I would normally agree with this view point however since the bad run, we have struggled to finish our chances and struggled to defend against silly chances. These are the same issues we face this year, with the same tactical set up. It’s not a...

Harry Walting, Jesus Christ Doug 🤣
