I’m still convinced Ipswich will drop off and don’t think they’ll make the playoff finals.

Remember when Sunderland fans were on about signing Gyokeres in the summer? How the tables have turned.

On the balance of things, Sunderland had chances to score and they’ll be disappointed they were wasteful. We missed a big chance at 0-0 ourselves and that’s just football. Overall, we created the better chances and it was a pretty comfortable game for us. We weren’t ‘poor’ at all. We’re a...

I didn’t hear any songs about Bradley Lowry.

… and managers

At 3-0 all I could think about is how close the game was and that we were lucky to get the 3 points. In the end, we won the game comfortably and we’re the better team who created the better chances. It was by no means the perfect performance but Sunderland didn’t offer much despite a couple of...

I don’t think the players signed are of a high enough profile to make a difference to be honest. The single biggest thing that would widen our global audience is promotion to the Premiership.

Gyokeres is potentially a £100m player, of course he’s a lot better than what we have. We obviously need a replacement for Hamer, that’s in the works and Robins has been v open with that. There’s always scope for improvement so we will be looking to make 2-3 signings in Jan and more in the...

Swansea away today there was a middle aged man moaning at every little mistake and berating the whole team… QPR away, same guy, same relentless nit picking every mistake and saying we’re shit. Do these people actually enjoy watching the games?

Agreed and at this stage, he offers more than Godden in open play. Against Blues, he was outlet and his link play was good. He just needs to find his feet and again, I think we’ll have a really good player on our hands. There’s a reason half the league wanted him this summer.

Unfortunately I wasn’t at the game but I’ve rooting for Wright so I’m happy he got MOTM. I feel like Simms too will have a purple patch once he hits some form - he’s admitted to snatching at chances lately.

Whilst not wanting to get too excited after a few games of quality, it does seem like COH has used the time out injured to really work on his game. Pre-injury, he was arguably our most influential player who perhaps lacked a killer instinct in the final third. If he can consistently add goals...

Clearly people who have made their minds about him early doors. They’ll hop on the bandwagon when he bangs them in on the regular. I couldn’t make the game last night but his goal was quality. Great team effort to win the ball, slide Wright in and his touch, feint and the finish was quality...

Allen, Sheaf and Eccles are all solid contributors to the team. None of them have that creative spark Hamer did and it’s something we still miss.

Alongside Hamer… Even Robins has said that it’s an area that needs improvement. The reason we’ve moved to 4-3-3/4-2-3-1 initially was because we regularly lost control in midfield. Something that happened a lot less when Hamer was playing for us. Bottom line is this: Robins’ top priority in...

Strongest? In most of the games we’ve surrendered leads it’s mostly because our midfield has lost control. Eccles, Sheaf and Allen are all hard workers and good players, but only Sheaf stands a chance of playing for a Top 6 team in reality. In terms of output, specifically goals and assists...

I don’t think the pass was on, you’ve got two defenders running towards the passing lane and Simms is running away from a pass. Had he passed and it got intercepted, you’d have a bunch of people slagging him off for not shooting. The right decision was to shoot, but needed better...

MR will be happy with the contributions of all our forward players. Wright does need to be more clinical but there’s a lot of undue criticism that the 2 chances he had were ‘easy’. He was under pressure both times and Ruddy’s head denied what would’ve been a great goal. He was guilty of going...

I seen that from the opposite end of the ground and likewise, was utterly disgusted!

Your point was really drilling down to ‘players only care about money, there’s zero sentiment’. Which isn’t true. We weren’t the only team in for COH when he was a free agent and I’d be surprised if we offered the most money for him too. When making a decision to join a new team, you’re...
