Personally don’t think these two are a problem area, and within time will be heralded as a point of strength. Our team lacks balance, too many chiefs not enough Indians - we’ve got ball playing defenders, midfielders, but not enough people prepared to make that run, stretch the defence, the...

Frustrating performance, demonstrating the jump in quality. For me Giles and Allen out on Friday, Dabo and O’Hare in - give Walker 30 mins

Sheaf great again

Defence have done well, Shipley and Allen struggling to get into it and we need them to, poor touches when they are getting opportunities. Said before but Allen too weak

Can only assume this line up reflects who’s match fit. I don’t understand the plan here, if you have nothing going forward you invite pressure, and give the defence and midfield nothing to go at.

Set up here to just get beat 1 or 2 nil

Got nothing going forward, again

O’Hare is fine, bad game yesterday but the least of our worries. We’re so reliant on the full backs when going forward, desperate for Dabo to be back. Desperately need outlet balls, someone who can stretch the opponent, hold up the play. I don’t know what type of striker Walker is, but can he do...

Think I’d go for that, with a midfield 3, O’Hare at the head of

We had chances in those games, but I wouldn’t say we played well into the final third, if O’Hare doesn’t get on the ball then we’ve got nothing. As I said I don’t want to berate the side, because it’s hard and a big step up and the performances have been great, but we’re heavy at the back with...

Everyone saying reactive, it’s been like this every game (bar Bristol). Nowhere near enough up top to worry teams. It is what it is, we’ve just been promoted but we’re well short.

I think before too long we’ll realise we need more going forward. Hopefully Walker is going to offer a lot, as we can’t just have O’Hare and Godden trying to hold up play and hope they can conjure something between them. As great as the performance was last night, they barely had a sniff, and...

Surely our prerogative to play him where we want to. Alternative is he doesn’t play, or shares a lot of minutes with McCallum

Not exactly unheard of though is it? Turning an attacking full back to midfielder. We also have no pace up top, so I can see why the suggestion is made

Yeah and it’s just personal opinion on Allen, I might be being a bit harsh. For me it’s more his ball retention whilst on the ball, can think of a few occasions where he brushed off it. His passing is by no means bad. Also worth considering O’Hare playing more advanced so expected to lose...

Marosi - 6 - great distribution but I thought he looks a bit less confident in himself than last season, punched a few that I thought he maybe should’ve held but still a decent performance defence - 6s, except for McCallum 7 - brilliant first game back, got the athleticism for this level, pace...

Sheaf unreal tonight, had so many great defensive moments whilst also being tidy and progressive with ball and got even better when Kelly came on.

My folks live nearby, can easily see it being feasible. The site is massive, and they already have some football facilities in place.

Don’t find it as ridiculous as some that Giles plays further forward, but that would be subject to us changing formation.

Seems odd. Giles been good thus far, although thought he struggled against Oyasi-Samuel on Friday (albeit he’s being linked with a PL move). Hard to know what Robins is thinking
