I’ve been joking to friends and family that Robins is my God since promotion from L2.

I honestly don’t think so. It’ll be like a Dyche or Howe situation at Burnley and Bournemouth respectively. He either takes us as far as he can and he gets sacked after a period of managed decline or he walks because he’s taken us as far as he can. If he takes us back up to the Prem and keeps...

Agreed, we really don’t need to be conceding a soft goal against Maidstone. We need to be ruthless and really batter these. Likewise with Wednesday. A good 2 goal win against Wednesday and follow it up with a crushing win in the 5th round. It just isn’t ‘super Ben Wilson’ in goal anymore.

On the flip side, you want to send a player to a club where they’re almost guaranteed lots of game time. In that sense, we’re just as good a destination.

We do have a habit of catastrophising over each loss. 4 points from our next 2 games is an excellent return. Personally, I think we’ll draw - the congested fixture list will add to that. Thankfully, Brizzle have had a couple more games than us.

Remember when MVE wouldn’t come to us because Leeds were interested? Me too.

Before the window, MR and Doug King said they’d be bold in the transfer of deals were to be done and also something about . I interpreted this to mean that we’ll try to make ambitious deals but we won’t force things. The club is rightfully content with the squad at the minute. It’s not perfect...

Seeing how direct Maidstone are and they look to have pacy players, I just can’t see how playing McFadz would be a good idea. A sub appearance after if we were comfortably ahead, sure.

We’d have to go back to 3-4-1-2 which would be bad. I think that system is dead now.

Could’ve been worse, they could have drawn Luton. For them it’s the difference between a 4.5-6k allocation v 1k at Luton.

You’re fixating on Friday’s result right now. Take it for what is, we drew a game we should’ve won and the consequence of that is that replay the tie at home. That’s an advantage to us. Both teams have important fixtures upcoming.

Half cup empty kinda person? Hillsborough is a tough place to play and bring Wednesday back to our place. We’re the better team, good home record against a team who’s away record is poor. We’re strong favourites for this one.

Thankfully, they play in amber…

It’s not, credit to Maidstone for getting the 5th round but they’ve used their luck up against Ipswich. It should be a routine win for us. I’m glad it’s a home tie for both teams.

That’s policing in 21st century Britain. Shambles.

As for @WestEndAgro’s COH claim? Heard anything on that front?

Gyokeres and Hamer carried us last season. This season has been much more of a team effort. Sakamoto, Wright, Sheaf and of course O’Hare have been match winners in recent weeks.

Well, £5 upfront. £15m does seem a bit high but that’s with performance incentives. For arguments sake, another team could be offering £5-8m cash. Similar structured deals is probably how we landed Simms in a crowded field of suitors.

£15m seemed obscenely high for Hamer too, given the circumstances. Could be a bidding war and a team is particularly desperate to secure him. A team like Southampton may not be a preferred destination in free agency - they might not get promoted.

This is up there with worst shout since the suggestion that Dabo could play CM. Not going to happen.
