You live in a weird world. So when we do well as a team, the players deserve credit and MR doesn’t, but when we did badly, it’s MR’s fault? Strange. I think it was worth trying Bayliss on the wing with Kelly and Doyle in the middle. That CM partnership was a large contributor to our defence...

I’m also glad they and Lincoln messed up too. We’re only 2pts behind Exeter, but my worry was that one slip up would see us fall out the playoff spots, so it’s good to build an insurance policy. I could be totally wrong, but I think both Swindon and Mansfield will miss out on playoffs and...

When we’re 6pts off 3rd with a game in hand? We’re currently in the middle of a hot streak too. The teams around us have to play one another so if we keep our form up, we’ll definitely make up points on 3rd. I say this, whilst I’m ‘predicting’ that we’ll finish 4th. A 3rd place finish is...

I think results have been going our way for a good 2-3 weeks now. Insane luck. In our back and forths over the last fortnight, I expected the likes of Mansfield and Wycombe to slip up against each other. Today, Port Vale, without a win in 13, nick a point away at Wycombe and Mansfield lose 2-0...

The team should remain unchanged, injuries permitting. Really hope we turn a corner and smash someone 3 or 4-0.

I’m going to consistent and say ‘it’s only 5 games’ we can’t really tell. One thing is for sure, he clearly offers a potent attacking threat and offers another outlet other than McNulty. Something we’ve missed since Jones, Nazon and Andreu got injured or left the club. Our biggest lost this...

JCH has made about 6 starts, compared to Biamou’s 20-30. How you think you can actually make the statement ‘we play better with Biamou’ with the confidence you have, is beyond me. Forget the amount of shots or whatever we’ve had in Biamou’s last 4 games, here’s some colder facts: Biamou’s last...

Maybe he did turn a corner, maybe not. But one thing is certain, JCH got his chance vs Brighton, a premier league side, and he took it ruthlessly, hitting the woodwork twice and scoring with a class finish. Now he’s got 4 in 9 games (yes I’m crediting the Crewe goal). I’m not hating on Biamou...

I agree with about 80% of this post, however: You can blame Robins’ tactics for Biamou’s lack of chances, but that doesn’t change the fact that Biamou has missed clear-cut chances. I think Biamou is a decent striker, but he doesn’t fashion chances for himself, like McNulty or JCH and he wasn’t...

Tbf, I wasn’t ecstatic when we appointed him in the first place. However, given the context of our league position, and his previous job history, I was optimistic and thought it was a good appointment. It was criminal we let either Evans and Cotterill through our grasps.

The pertinent point was about our tactics. Without a doubt, wherever we end up, there will be a massive ‘what if?’ The reason being is that we lost or drew far too many games against teams you’d consider ‘weak’ in the division, losses to; FGR x2, Yeovil, Morecambe, Port Vale, Cambridge...

That’s pretty haunting.

I think this more a Coventry City fan club tbh with you.

Last year, Luton were like Mansfield as they drew 17, and only lost 9 games all season (least in the league). They draw too many games and at the end of the day, you’re losing points if you’re drawing. We’ve also won 2 more games than Mansfield - they also have to play Accrington and Luton...

It’s all relative mate. Considering in the last 5 we’ve played Wycombe, Luton and Mansfield, then Barnet and Crewe - 3 wins and 2 draws is very credible. We’re worrying about too many variables. The bottom line is, we have to keep winning to cement a playoff spot anyway, but in the meantime, we...

Well, in the screenshotted tweet you suggested Bayliss should’ve been ‘turfed off somewhere else’. That’s already 2 times you’re utterly and totally wrong. So many football fans are egotists who insist they’re 90% correct of time are usually the ones who aren’t. Try your hand at coaching or...

David Bell’s 40-yarder v Doncaster was a pretty unique goal for me. Back when there were hopes he’d make a decent signing. Scott Dann’s headed goal from Gunnarsson’s long throw right at the death against Newcastle in the cup was pretty special too. But, my all-time favourites will be Mifsud’s...

Exactly, they have a slightly harder run-in, Notts County and Lincoln away, Accrington at home. But, that’s offset by playing the likes of; Yeovil, Grimsby, Chesterfield, Stevenage, Port Vale and Crawley. My optimism is based on the fact we’re playing 4 of those teams Wycombe are, we also have...

If I was a betting man, I’d say Wycombe are the favourites for that last automatic spot. They’re level on points with Notts with a game in hand and they play them next week. They can pull away by 6pts very quickly. For Wycombe v Notts County, the best case is a draw, worst case is a Wycombe...

Looking at our other fixtures, home and away, I’d definitely take a draw v Notts County, and probably a draw at Newport. The optimist in me is hoping Newport’s standards drop now they’re safe from relegation, but too far adrift from playoff contention. We’ve also got to be determined to avenge...
