Talks about lacking up front then proceeds to mention our defence conceding soft goals… Today we’ve created more clear chances than most games. Let’s be honest, if we conceded as many soft goals as we do now last season, we wouldn’t have made the playoffs.

Was that xG for Simms’ chance? It definitely was not a clear cut opportunity. If Gooden/Bidwell was onside, that’s a bad bad miss. Next time he moans about game time all Robins has to do is show him that replay.

Bidwell was offside I think?

The only positive thing about Godden’s miss was that it was offside…

I actually prefer Thomas and he’s matured very well as the season has progressed. 3 quality options at CB and as for Lats, more a RCB (in a 3) or fullback to my mind.

No real surprises with the results tonight so nothing changes tomorrow. We’re not reliant on other teams dropping points as of yet and a draw takes us back into the top 6. Tomorrow is not a must-win game, that’s silly talk. We play WBA, Hull, PNE and Watford - these are must-not-lose games.

3 draws would do very nicely. WBA will likely beat Cardiff but a surprise here would lead into our fixture very nicely. We’ve lost one game at home too. We’ve drew a lot, but we’ve turned over Leicester and drew to Southampton. So we are more than capable to get results against Leeds, Hull and...

There is no doubt he has improved us, but we were performing well before he came into the side. Bearing in mind COH has 2 assists and 7 goals, I think COH has probably benefitted from the players around him rather than the other way round. That’s taking nothing away from COH, he’s added level...

Good experience for Robins and his team. Players like COH and Sheaf would have started had they been fit. There’s a good 6-7+ players in the squad that were part of the team last year. There’s a psychological element to it too, the players who joined know this is a club who were a penalty...

You wouldn’t sell him for anything less than £20m in today’s market. The championship is proving a reliable league in producing players capable of scoring in the Prem. Toney, Mitrovic, Watkins, Gyokeres and more have demonstrated this.

Gyokeres first full season was 17 goals and 5 assists. Wright is on course to beat that and I must say Gyokeres was impressive that year.

Wasn’t Southgate one of the first managers play Bellingham CAM? Same with Trent, Klopp even called him out do it to then create this hybrid role for him… funny that.

Thankfully, you don’t make any decisions because the stats don’t lie. Highest save % and 4th highest in xG against him paints a picture of a reliable keeper.

It’s been a consistent theme this season. Incremental improvement and that’s why there’s a 5 year plan to get promoted rather than a 1-2 year plan. It was a big clear out and turnover of players. Overall, we’re a stronger outfit but we’re still down on players ‘net’. Irrespective of what league...

Nope. These stats are wrong, we clearly need a new GK.

The squad is a bit thin in some areas but if you compare the situation to last season, it’s night and day. The consensus was that our season was ‘over’ when COH done his ACL or when Palmer did his hamstring against Sunderland. Robins will adapt and he is just managing expectations atm. We’ve...

Considering Prem teams were interested in him, I’m sure that’s his ceiling… He is on track to beat Gyokeres’ stats in his first full season. Who, btw, missed by far the most ‘big’ chances statistically in the league. Wright has been more clinical so far, even if there’s room for improvement there.

It’s a tough game and one that we can definitely lose if we don’t keep our wits about us. A draw keeps us on track but believe we’ll hold the line and catch them on break.

You’d take a draw against Plymouth but I fancy us to take advantage of their attacking play by hitting them on the counter. 3-1 to City.

Lati did just that. We did fight back, there times where our players gave a little back and we got away with it.
