    Mine was the same - awful coverage considering they made a big deal out of it

    I’d agree with this. Although I’m not sure King would wait the season out if we sit 17th say at Xmas

    It’s not “no promotion - change manager” it’s expectation of competing, of course if Robins gets to the play offs and loses, it’s a good season. The moment we start sliding back to midtable is when King will be asking questions. we’re one of the highest spenders in the league - there’s an...

    What we lost in Hamer is a player that drives forward - he dropped back something which Allen and Torp don’t do. He made “clever fouls” - when he was given the ball he managed to push the game forward. we’re never going to get a player as good as Hamer - but we should be able to pick someone up...

    If I recall League two - 4-2-3-1 - 4-2-4 once Jones injured League one - did he go back to 4-2-3-1? League one winning -went to 5-2-2-1 Championship - morphed into 5-2-1-2 Now - as you’ve said 4-3-3/4-2-3-1

    Weirdly I’m sure we’ve changed shape every season under robins

    The Rotherham game was the worst we’d played all season - and to this day I don’t know how we lost to Tranmere. We absolutely battered them.

    Of course it’s a big season we’re the 3rd biggest spenders in the league this year and 2nd biggest last season. top 6 is a bare minimum expectation. He gets a pass the last 2 seasons. 2 years back we had the shit with the ground and wasps, last season he was bedding in a new squad. this season...

    Even that shows the lowest position of 9th. In fact I’d argue it shows the importance of a fast start. It meant we were able to ride the two defeats and keep momentum

    I don’t expect us to get autos - I don’t rule it out. I think we can compete, I don’t think there’s anything to fear and that we have an opportunity, but the problem is the slow starts we’ll end up flogging ourselves for results at the end of the season trying to get into the play offs if we...

    Again I’ve said before - I’m confident. It’s more in relation to how we’ve started the seasons and talking about “peaking” as you’ve said we’ll see where we are in 10 games there are obvious issues still. It was clear last season we needed to replace Hamer. We still haven’t - it’s glaringly...

    True - but we maintained touching distance throughout the season. We didn’t start 25 points back at any point - which is what we’ve done the last two season. Pretty sure we were actually top for a couple of week early on in the season Losing 2 games in your first 20 is hardly a slow start

    Ipswich yes - but the idea is the same. Teams invariably do better when playing for the whole 46 game season. Not from game 15 onwards I’d argue that it’s more common for a team to stay the course like Ipswich then do what Forest did - which people keep holding up as a shining example

    In fact - during the league one season we rarely dropped out of the play offs all season

    Problem is we’re giving the league a third of the season head start. It’s all well and good peaking at the end but that just limits us to pushing for the play offs. Ipswich showed the way last season. Arguably you’re better getting ahead of the league

    The qualification is the getting to the semis of the U21 tournament isn’t it? Surely it should be a majority England U21s if they make it there. don’t recall the last time the other home nations made the tournament let alone the latter stages

    We need to start quicker - the start to the last 2 seasons has pretty much cost us. Both times we were keeping up with the top 2. we need to be at around 20 points after the 10 game mark.

    Think Plymouth were top of league one aswell when he left
