Think I lost my mind on this last season when the zonal marking had Jay da silva marking Keiffer Moore in the six yard box. Wonder if a set piece coach could be looked into as it’s just painful how many unforced errors we have at set pieces. Pre season we did look good at attacking them tho so...

Starting to really miss Matty, not on the pitch but just because he couldn’t keep his mouth shut 😝

Thought to share the below from Cov analyst on Twitter as thought they showed the problem currently. As I said earlier we just aren’t using Simms at all. You can’t say he’d just use it badly if you don’t give it him in the first place.

Jimmy if you could give a turner a name for his article it would be grand 🤣

To be fair leaders who can come in and drive the team are rare to come by. Assume Ben will try and slot that role as the captain. I remember adi’s words about how Doyle drove the team on by his want to win. Wish he was free for the assistant role and not at Woking. Feel he would of been a...

Shame we didn’t try and offside trap him and stay high. Whenever I kept an eye on him he seemed to stray offside consistently. But 100% have to give it up somewhere. Was more weird about the press seemed to be non existent which is confusing for a possession based side which robins wants us to be.

To be fair it’s too early to get upset about expectations and I think by game ten we should hopefully have a better view. But, I think this year fans on here and opposing fans have high expectations on us this year. I can understand fans disappointment on the start after we’ve struggle to start...

Not only that but be sitting back there forcing the defence line to have to sit further back which caused large gaps in front of our defence but behind our midfield

To be fair while the fee would be ridiculous, we would at least have a young cdm who can play the holding midfielder role and mean we could sell sheaf next year without panicking.

Made me really want an understudy for him as another singing. If he is the only player Robins thinks can play that role that we have to change tactical shape, we need a new player to cover him.

“It’s not that out there a suggestion” I’ll take that 🤣

Love that he finds a way. Just wish we could go from pre season. And to be fair to your point that’s a major part of football which Robins has gone on about. In regards to the game being like Chess. Think he’s an amazing manager and bloke and will work it out. Just hope it’s sooner rather than...

We to be fair don’t have the same amount of coaches as other championship teams even with the four. I think robins just struggles initially to move on from an idea when it’s not working. When we do move shape I think we’ll start to click and be the attacking team we were all talking about pre...

Think for context most fans love Robins and would never want him gone in a million years. But it’s frustrating that he never starts right and takes sometime to work it out from his squad. Last year we started with a 5-3-2 till we dropped it for a 4-2-3-1. League one we started a bit average...

Wouldn’t mind a 4-3-3 and to be fair that’s what I thought we’d start after the Everton match. Don’t really understand why we’ve gone back to a 4-2-3-1 which doesn’t look like it’s working for us but it’s early days, easy for fans to say what we think but hard for coaches as they have to do the...

Don’t really disagree with that in regards to wide. But from the match Bristol dominated the match from just breaking out high press due to the low line the defence held. One of my big points of advocacy for the 4-4-2 is how compact it’ll make our team in defence where as a 4-2-3-1 is always a...

On that note then we could always start wright and EMC on the left when Raphael is fit. Reason I think BTA would be good is as you say he’s a nuisance and any balls headed on by simms or defenders he’d be all over. On the flair point. I mean we’d have flair by Jack, Tats and EMC once he’s up...

Is it too early to ask us to look towards a 4-4-2 in the next match. Gets our wingers more involved in the play and allows Simms to have a partner to knock balls onto.

Thought I’d have a look. Unable to find any pass stats to Simms but I did find a map analysis of our passes As you can see we never went central with our passes and mostly played to the wing. Is Simms brilliant in his link play? no but we don’t use him enough. We just try to get him to run the...

But we have to get the ball to simms in order to do that. Which today our midfield really struggled to do because we just seemed to hoof it up front and hope for the best.
