The lad is 19 so still very much in a developmental stage of his career. He’s also getting some decent minutes too so for him, he’s in a good place. If you’re that concerned with his development, why would you sign a 4th choice CB? Which would definitely relegate him to the U23s... It’s only...

I'd be happy with a draw v Doncaster, my head says 1-1, Hiwula or JCH to score. But, we're at home and in good form, so this is a winnable fixture for us.

For me, there's no point in signing players for the sake of adding to our depth. We've got quite good depth and all bases are covered so any new signing should be someone who's an upgrade on what we have already. To use CB as an example, a new CB should be good enough to dislodge Davies, Hyam or...

This was something we drastically needed to improve on from last season. Set pieces are often the differences in tight games and last season, our impotence from set pieces meant that we didn’t get as much joy against the ‘lesser’ sides than we really ought to have done. Getting an early lead...

I'd say we have a good team for a top half, to playoffs finish. The point is that we need a few more pieces to take things to the next level, even if we were to finish in the playoffs and fail to get promoted this season. This team certainly has a solid foundation to potentially get promoted to...

That’s why it’s generally a good idea to ignore football fans. We’re fickle by nature because our loyalty to managers and players is conditional. Robins record speaks for itself and this season was about being patient whilst he figured out his best team, and for the new players to gel. Can we...

That's too Americanised, but it's a good effort pal.

We were always going to be a ‘work in-progress’. We have a really young team football who are finding their feet still. I’m happy with the state of the team. We look like we’re in good stead for the future.

But it’s not ‘just’ £3m though is it? We’ve gotten in excess of £5m for him already, and a bit on top of that when he makes an international appearance. It could even surpass £6m one day. People are forgetting we’re a League 1 club who happened to get relegated the season after. We’d have been...

Under-invested? You can’t just chuck more money at something that was already haemorrhaging money until fairly recently. It’s easy for us for bemoan the lack of spending when it isn’t our money. That’s how clubs end up like Aston Villa, or Portsmouth, or Luton who overspent for years. When a...

I’m thinking ahead post-SISU because some of our fans seems to think the owners are immortal... The club, whomever owns us, need to go ahead and build a new stadium. The term ‘gypsy club’ is genius and that is what our existence is now relegated to, part of that is down to SISU, but the council...

Bayliss just hasn’t been playing that well this season. He’s still only young and League 1 is a huge step up compared to L2 — if he can hack it, and excel we know he then has similar potential to Dele, Wilson and Maddison. You can’t lay the blame of individuals who are uninspired on the...

The long-term solution to this is to build a new stadium. Build a sense of community and identity from there. Move Jimmy Hill’s statue and replicate the walls on a new ground (or something). The RICOH has never been a home, and never will be. What a pity.

4 points from the last 3 games is a good return. Factor in that we really should’ve knicked a win against Sunderland and missed another 1v1 against Pompey, we really could’ve got 6-7 points from these 3 games. As well as the Barnsley result, we’ve proven we can mix it with the best in this...

Today’s midfield is an interesting one, we should stick with what was successful last season.

Really want us to win today, these 15hr shifts are killing me right now. Alas, I can see us getting beat soundly today, brain says 3-1 loss, heart says 1-1 draw.

Crisis! We lost to top of the league... We were sloppy, but JCH should really bury that 1v1 and it’s a different game. Otherwise, I thought Portsmouth gave a very well organised performance that is typical of a good ‘away’ team.

You say that, but Shipley v Oxford played his part in two goals. By contrast, how many goals has Bayliss scored/assisted? 0. Likewise with Thomas. Bayliss is a better player, but so far he hasn’t been that productive either.

Personally, I thought Doyle was up there for MOTM before JCH scores and Burge made a class save. He offered a more direct threat when the game needed it. After Sunderland had some decent chances Doyle got two chances in the box. None were clear cut chances but it was important for momentum. He’s...

Today was my first game of the season, and I was impressed with the performance, a draw was a fair result but we really should've won it at the death. As for my marks: Burge, 8 - made some excellent saves to keep us in the game Sterling, 7 - went into this game with a preconception that he was...
