Well it could all go pear shaped yet you know! Pressley started gloriously well at Northampton remember with Wilson and co scoring for fun. But I agree there seems to be some sort of success by intention rather than in hope with his fine management skills. I believe that will continue. he made a...

I think Reda is an exceptional talent at this level. He has it all but he is playing against league 1 players. Who is the greatest defender of all time? For me Bobby Moore has no equal. he would steal the ball from your feet and never, or rarely got beat.

Yes seeing everyone's arguments here does show what a tough decision this is. But it's Scunny and they are rubbish. I think he may play Tudgay as Scunny are defensive minded and he can be more physical from the start. Armstrong will play his part with pace and direct running but we should have...

This is one of those we all now expect to win. I hope we do and I believe under TM we will. Armstrong will be benched after international duty and we should have enough without him. Tudgay must start surely. If we remain confident and with our feet on the ground (no cocky over confidence) then...

Win for us 1-3. Burton have started well but can't see them sustaining it. We on the other hand have TM and his away tactics will see us through this one.

I think Burge showed he is reluctant to come and claim the ball at times and that cost us for their headed goal. Other times he is brave and is really not so bad and capable of some very good stops. He almost saved the penalty by the way. Reda and Rickets were somehow off their game but both...

Confident of a win. There has been too much talk about Madison and his 'starring' role. Our squads thin but it's not a complete mess for the absence on one young man and a defender who has not been very good if I was honest. 2nd place beckons and Reda is die a headed goal.

I can't see a problem here. A win and easing the pressure off the absence of madders.

A good young talent that appeared to grow into the team from the start of this season. While he has ability he also has a lot of naivety and is not a game changer by any means. I think he would of kept improving but would not have started every game. he is not the mega loss some on here seem to...

Not too worried about this. Sooner we get a defeat out the way the better.

This only proves we can't simply expect to win after a great start. Now we have to come from behind which will give them reason to stay focused and press. Could be a good thing in the long run if we come from behind and take at least a point.

It's about the squad depth. TM will have options through out the team. Stokes out Tuesday means Haynes can come and use that pace and sweet left foot of his. A couple more signings and we will do well consistently which is what gets you promoted.

I'm not saying Kirkland is not good enough for us but I do think we should be looking forwards not backwards for once. Burge has improved a lot. That one save he made could have bounced in but for the fact he placed his body across the angle to block and got lucky it went out for a corner as it...

I was always clear TM would stay and take the job if offered. It is clear after one game the guy is a cut above the opposition in coaching ability. His tactics were spot on v Wigan and he was willing to change formation as the game developed. His pre match assessment played out before our eyes...

Sick note Kirkland is past his best long ago. The romantics among you should concentrate on realising Burge is a decent keeper at this level.

He may have made a hash of management but was a decent guy with his heart in the right place (excuse the pun) Hope he makes a full recovery.

yep I'll try again.

I can't quite understand the animosity against Strachan? He spent what 5/6 seasons in charge? (a long period by management standards) and we had some great times and some great football under him. Yes it went wrong at the very end but as we see now the backing to keep us in the top flight was...

if there was a top 4 then Robins was next!

It's that time of year when we sit waiting with baited breath for the new season to get going again. So it's time for another thread to fill in the time..... With a lot of hindsight and importantly not using the FA Cup win but concentrating only on the league, who have been our top 3 managers...
