    It is a reasonably educated guess though, don't you think? It is pretty clear getting a new LWB is not a top priority, there are bigger holes, and that having four loans is out of character for Robins. Norwich came knocking, and we thought "bargain". No human outside your own family warrants...

    I knew there was a fourth. That makes my point even more so. Looks like Kelly, Sheaf, Hamer and Hissner ar bthe central midfielders.

    Last thought. I think this move was not planned, not strategic, but wholly opportunistic. This is not necessarily a good thing. Norwich knocked on the door and we saw the merit in it. It was not because a weakness in the team more important than any othe was identified, leading to a search for...

    Out of interest, this means we have used 2 of our loan slots on one position. We now have Giles, McCallum and Ostigard as loans. It means that probably any additional player brought in for the CDM slot would have to be a free or a purchase. It is concievable that if Rose comes back, two of our...

    Thw two corners we have conceded from were down to poor cover at the far post weren't they? ON both occaisions that was the left.

    If Robins is true to form, MacCullum will be on the bench. He has been very consistent in team selections and the way he treats players. Everybody knows the score that way. You earn your place. Only Kelly (and previously Doyle) have been treated in any way differently imho. This rule does not...

    Were not both goals from corners fired to the far post?

    On the subject of birth's clashing with games... A friend who is a big Spurs fan was at a conference with me in Durham, and his wife was due to give birth. Spurs were playing Accrington (IIRC) in a cup comp that evening and he was planning to go, as it was a grounds he had never seen Spurs...

    Josh Pask

    As everyone seems to think its nonsense, it will probably happen. Judging by comments in the past made by those who have actually seen him play, that might be his level. If I was Pask, at his age, I'd want to play.

    Eccles

    Good move - he should, all things being equal, get serious, competitive game time with a strong League 1 outfit. Better than we could have expected. Looks like Eccles impressed Evans on Tueday night. I would worry if we needed him for an extended run in the Championship at this stage in hid...

    surely Sheaf for Kelly

    Dabo & Sheaf for Pask & Kelly. 1-1 Pask to replace Dabo as a sub if needs be Rose on the naughty step because of Gillingham.

    When this happened last year, we got Walsh in. Then it looked, although it might have just been a coincidence, like a reaction to a Kelly injury. Either way it was fortuitous.

    It's a wonderful combo - City scoring reported by Michelle Owen. I need to go and lie down.

    You are all saying Pask was at fault, but who was that trailing in patterson's wake, Hyam or Giles?

    Robins doesn't seem to think so. Brings in Ostigaard

    Can Ostigaard come stright in? I guess he has to as it is too soon for Rose. Otherwise MK shows where Robins is going Marosi Pask-Ostigaard-MacF-Hyam-Giles Hamer-Kelly (Sheaf for Hamer part way) O'Hara-Godden-Allen I'd love to see Baka-Walker up front at some time but not this game. Result...

    Everybody is entitled to an opinion about a player. That s what this blog is about there is no place for sentimentality. It is a rubbish idea to say is an obligation to test a player in the 1st team to find out if he is any good. We have just shipped out Ponti without trying him and ditto...

    At a personal level this is really ghastly. Two and a half years he has been in some sort of recovery, which is enough to test anyone's strength of character. If he does get back he will have done extraordinarily well. BUT, at a football level it matters very little, as I am not sure at all that...
