Which two games?

Can you see Robins dropping Jones? Personally, I just can't see it.

Trouble is playoffs can be a lottery. Dodgy pen, one off day, own goal, keeper blunder and it's all over. I think it's this season or bust, so play-offs would be a bit of a lottery and a big worry.

I do think Beavon and Vincenti will come back in. Haynes may just sneak in. He played for the U23's on Monday. Guess it depends on whether Robins will risk him or not.

Well that's the thing. All sides give away silly goals at some point. If you are scoring at the other end though it is not such an issue and there lies the problem. If we are not scoring this is going to keep happening. Own goal, dodgy penalty decision, goalkeeping error etc.

Well our best ones last year in the window were Stevenson and Willis, so I can't say I would be losing any sleep if it was either of them this time round.

And we have some tough games coming up, not least, Luton a week on Saturday.

O'Brien made two mistakes in a row. Hopefully Burge won't do the same thing.

I am really hoping we win it too. Don't like the Wasps aspect of it at all, but this is our city and surely we should all want our city to be and do better and also to receive some kind of boost to its economy. Fingers crossed.

Well, went to Birmingham last night and have to say it was horrendous the amount of people on the street and beggars etc. Very ominous atmosphere and this was at 5pm. Lots of homeless people in doorways and on pavements and also a lot of people wandering around going from person to person...

Well if you want to look for any positives, it has to be that Robins will surely shake it up for Saturday and make a number of changes to the team. Think Beavon might well come back in and possibly Haynes will get chosen too. There's also Vincenti. We need quality from both flanks to create...

Yeah, we could call it Berk's Peerage.

Can we appeal last night's result?

Well it's now 5 defeats. We have played 14 matches. It is now looking like such a more monumental task. The benchmark appears to be to lose no more than around 12 games to get promoted. Last season the 3 top sides all lost 11 games come the end of the season We have lost nearly half of that...

Oh, so not all bad then.

That's more like it. Don't think I have ever heard a manager say in October that he won't be able to bring players in, in January. There is always the option to wheel and deal.

So then in January you sell someone.

I am in shock too and didn't even go up.

We need to be top 7 or thereabouts come January. Then at that point Robins has to strengthen. We need another wide player to compliment Jones as a priority (and no, I don't mean someone walking past him and saying 'nice moustache!')

We just wanted you back, Hackers and couldn't bear it on here without you.
