Wycombe was a bad example to use, we’ll probably overtake them in the next couple of games. Ainesworth has done a fantastic job with Wycombe - took several years to get promoted, does that take away from his achievements with Wycombe over the last 3 years? One promotion and a cup win in 3...

This thread is going round in circles. Is there a manager operating at our level that you would rather have now than Robins? Yes or no. If no, the conversation has reached a natural conclusion.

Birmingham are clearly the favourites, but it’s cup football and teams with contrasting form. I think we could turn them over! 2-1.

Agreed. Outside of the elite managers, how many managers are successful at multiple clubs? Not many. Even less of those will be hanging around in League 1. A lot of these managers come in somewhere, at the right time, and the right circumstances and all goes to plan. Would Robins have done...

What would Real Madrid be like without Ronaldo, or Messi at Barcelona... Also, how many goals did McGoldrick score before Robins came in?

It’s probable that Moore meant ‘seasons’ rather than years since Robins hasn’t been back for 3 years. You’ve got 8 players from the match day squad who have been with the club for while around 2 seasons or more: Mason Bakayoko McCallum Kelly Biamou Westbrook Hyam Shipley There’s probably more...

Scary thoughts. I'd like to think we're in a stronger position this time around with our squad compared to 2015/16 as we're not relying on young loanees and don't need to fill our squad/bench with player like Fortune, Hunt, Ramage and Henderson - all of whom had past it badly when they came in...

Before Xmas we had one of, if not the lowest GD in the top half. Now, the GD isn’t as much of a factor as we’ve started to catch up to others. We just need to keep the scoreboard ticking over, and if we’re not losing, we’re exactly that. You look at the likes of Ipswich, Sunderland, P’boro and...

The majority of our match day squad has been together for 2-3 years (seasons is probably what he means) to varying degrees. More importantly, in my view, is that Robins has brought some continuity because he’s been with the club for nearly 3 years so there’s a settled framework at the club. To...

From my understanding, Pask is a CB by trade, and the early signs from him is that he is a good player. They’ve been good enough when called upon this season and last, and ultimately, they need game time to develop to become a starter. After all, Hyam was brought in as a 4th choice, development...

I think Pask could fit in quite nicely at CB, even without him, our young players our capable of filling in for a couple of games. Unless we’re really unlucky, CB is a strong position.

I hope this is true. My Wycombe supporting workmate is not looking forward to the return leg, and after our 3-0 win v Bristol Rover said ‘you lot aren’t losing for a while’. Hopefully, that is the wider perception with other supporters around the league.

Not really, we’ve lost 3 games all season.

We could actually do this, we’ve built up a lot of momentum! 3 away wins on the bounce is huge and against the teams around us is just what we need!

I’d rather a monarch that didn’t intervene and just stick to their constitutional role, performing public duties and so on. If Charles doesn’t have the discipline, then there is a potential crisis looming.

There’s no real appetite for abolishing the monarchy right now. But, Elizabeth II is overwhelmingly popular and has reigned for a long time. Frankly, she has been the model constitutional monarchy. It could well be the case that a more fragile monarch may not be able to survive a crisis in the...

I don’t disagree. The monarchy has its uses, but I’m a republican by nature. In fact, before this and the Prince Andrew scandal, the monarchy was in a strong place. Now, with all this and with a potential king who has abused his his position in the past to influence policy as Prince. The...

Agreed. A lot of people are keen to compare the press coverage of Megan compared to other royals. One example is about avocados with it being one of Kate’s favourite foods as well as Megan’s. With the coverage a lot more negative to Megan. The difference isn’t ethnicity. The difference is that...

In the same window Portsmouth paid £1.5m for Marquis. Godden clearly wasn’t beyond their financial constraints, they just weren’t willing to pay £750k for him.

Not particularly, we had the 9th best defence last season, we’re currently 8th based on goals conceded. I prefer Marosi, and he’s less error prone and better on the ball, which is important for how we want to play. Based on the stats, we’re not much different as a defensive unit compared to...
