I think you’re spot on here. That injury was a bad one, and I wonder if his confidence has been affected. I think he’s probably slightly the better keeper of the two, and that if he hadn’t had his injury, he would have played every game in goal.

It’s just the league table, isn’t it?

Just out of interest, I agree that Godden isn’t fit, and shouldn’t be in the team. So, I wouldn’t write Gyokeres off, because I don’t think we’ve seen enough of him to judge. My memory tells me that Gyokeres has had two chances in his substitute performances, and has scored them both. He also...

Eccles right back for me. Has shown he can defend, and put dangerous crosses in.

I’d start Gyokeres and Walker, no doubt.

I agree that a point would be a decent result, but it worries me that if MR feels the same way, then he’ll go one up top, set up defensively, which hasn’t proved to be successful. If we go two up top, we can press more effectively and stop the other team from playing. I would also go Gyokeres...

Well, it’s still in our hands, if we get enough points we’ll deservedly stay up, if we get relegated, we’ll deserve that as well. Got to hand it to Rotherham, we will need to show the same determination in our remaining games. Hopefully we’ll do that, starting on Thursday.

I think at home in particular, he’s suffered more than most with the poor pitch. He liked to play a lot of first time balls, give and goes, and as the pitch deteriorated, the accuracy of those passes suffered. Doesn’t explain the loss of form totally, but I don’t think it’s helped.

For me, exactly this.

One last thought on Saturday’s game. I saw at the end, Shipley come onto the pitch to congratulate the City players, and he was obviously elated with the result (as we all were). He has struggled recently with form/confidence, and it may be that the Championship is a step too far for him. It’s...

I would start Gyokeres and Walker, they looked potent and both have shown they can take a chance. Gyokeres offers a physical threat. Godden just doesn’t look ready yet to me, did take his penalty well, however.

He was ok, nothing more, nothing less, and to be fair, I don’t think we’ve had a truly bad ref for a while - perhaps Cardiff away? Their guy could/should have gone for pushing Kelly over in a quite aggressive manner. If it had been one of our players sent off for that, whilst being disappointed...

Excellent performance today, a well deserved victory. Unfortunately, McFadzean just had to give us heart attacks for ten minutes or so, but all’s well.... The third goal was excellent, some tremendous quick passing and a cool finish. Pleased to see how Robins changed it after the QPR debacle, I...

Well, I would still watch, but I would be furious that he’d learnt nothing from the QPR debacle. Need a different right back, Pask, or perhaps Hamer, which would allow us to play Kelly or Eccles, and two up front. I would give Walker and Gyokeres a chance, or one of those with Godden would do.

It’s doable, but I think the problem with that, is that it’s hard at the moment, to see us winning enough games to pull away from trouble. So our survival may depend on whether there are teams below us, or close to us, who do worse than us over the remainder of the season. Don’t like to be...

I thought MR’s team selection today was poor, Decosta just can’t defend, and, contrary to some opinions on here, doesn’t offer an attacking threat. It looked to me as if the most he hoped for today was a draw, (one up front) and yet he leaves the better defender, Pask, on the bench. In...

The ref was ok, although I’m not sure about the yellow, I think the man making the tackle/foul was the last defender, so irrespective of whether the ball would have been passed to Walker, the defender stopped a clear goal scoring opportunity. The other thing I think he got wrong, on at least 3...

It’s not unheard of for players to be mediocre at one club, move on, and improve significantly at the new club(s). Even though there may have been a good player in there, for us, I thought his attitude was suspect, and the thing I mainly remember him for was falling over. Good luck to him, but...
