I wonder if Willis regrets leaving. Personally, I think he’d be perfect in our current setup! Rose, Hyam and McFad all looked really good yesterday barring the occasional little mistake. Playing 3 at the back seems to help us play from the back too, so it’s a well suited system for us.

But, we’re not in the top division so that’s a bit of a pedantic point to make. Win % isn’t the be all and end all, but it’s suggestive of success. Which Robins has been, a promotion in his first full season, then 8th in L1 and now we’re 3rd in the new year with the least amount loses in the...

Agreed. Very frustrating to concede a goal from nothing when we’ve absolutely dominated this game. Hopefully it come back to bite us! My prediction for this game was 2-1, but we should really score another 1 or 2 goals to finish Tranmere off.

Every set of fans has a section of Neanderthals. I’ve never bought into this fabricated rivalry between Sunderland and ourselves. It’s only come about after the anniversary of that Bristol game in the 70s. Half the people who feel strongly about this ‘scandal’ weren’t even born when it happened.

Let’s just see what happens now, the monkey is off our back and hopefully the team gets confident and builds on a great result. We’re difficult to beat, but it’s up to us to pick up more wins.

I don’t understand why people would be happy with this? When a community is at risk of losing its team, it’s a tragedy. It’s surprising this would come from us, with our experience renting the RICOH and our current exile from Coventry. It doesn’t take much for the next Bury, Bolton or...

Our current system gives Shipley and Westbrook a lot of freedom to attack and I’m very confident Bayliss would have thrived in that setup because that was the strongest part of his game. We’re doing well, and if we can pick up some more away wins we will surely finish in the Top 6 with a chance...

I thought Shipley was underrated too. But, I'd still maintain Bayliss is the better player and think Bayliss would've developed nicely under MR this season - but, it's irrelevant now. MR knows how to nurture the talent we have, he had a plan for fringe players like Westbrook, Hyam and McCallum...

My mate was graceful in defeat as we've had workplace banter for the last few months. He said we were the best team they've played this season and shown me a tweet from Chairboys Central saying the same thing. If we can keep Gooden on form, I believe we can make a real push at automatic...

I work with a Wycombe fan, was supposed to be in the home end with him today. I can confirm they do not like playing us at all. Definitely a bogey team for them.

Since 2017 my enthusiasm for Corbyn has dropped considerably as a Labour voter. Corbyn is personally either very popular or unpopular with voters. With a lot of working class voters, he was despised and this is why places like Blyth, Stoke-on-Trent and Bolsover could be flipping to...

As a fan base, we judge too quickly. Some of us have looked very silly with early judgements. Frankly, at times I thought Dabo had a mistake in him, but a few nearly moments shouldn’t be the basis of a judgment in my view.

In fairness to Pressley, he can take some credit for Wilson’s development with us. Had we not been in admin, I think we would’ve released him and who knows where Wilson would’ve ended up. Pressley inherited some difficult circumstances and did well for the first half of that season at...

I don’t know your individual circumstances, but the walk is only 30-35m from St Andrews to New St.

With our luck with injuries, I doubt we can clear anyone out. I think we could do with doing what we can to sign a striker. Other than that, perhaps another winger and CB? But, then again, our young CBs look good. 5-3-2/5-4-1 has been serving us well so I’m happy to for us to keep the...

This season we are 3rd. Were we at any one point 3rd last season? League position is all that matters. The difference this season, is that we’ve won/drew games we would’ve lost last season. We pick up a lot of points from losing positions. When you factor in our luck with injuries, it’s been a...

What do the professionals know, ey? I refer all readers to the various Maddison threads.

I really like this 4-3-3, but the last few games we’ve not scored. Based on what I saw last night (I’ve only seen highlight over the last few weeks with rugby, work and travelling), we didn’t look like creating any chances at all in the first half. We need to worry about ourselves first, and if...

I generally agree with tactical continuity, but Robins will recognise we need to be adaptable. We have a lack of winger and Bakayoko was not fairing well upfront on his own, and going forward we need either a CAM or another striker to support him upfront. The armchair manager in me was...

I thought we really suited this shape. In the first half, Bakayoko was so isolated, and our midfield had no movement. I’ll outline a few reasons why I liked this shape: - Strength in depth at full back: Mason, Dabo and McCallum are all fullbacks who play like wingbacks and are good at getting...
