    Sterling

    He had a fantastic middle section, but has looked tired and completely lost his attacking impetus the last few months. That isn’t what you want as an outlet at RB. It isn’t anything to do with Thomas either, it’s clear Thomas plays to instructions, hence why some games he’s hugging the...

    48 hours away from expulsion / New Ricoh Talks!

    There isn’t even that much wrong with that statement, but I still read it and think ‘Fuck off you corrupt, egotistical and immoral tossers’.

    48 hours away from expulsion / New Ricoh Talks!

    Considering the circumstances and how late in the day we are, not sure how anyone can be disappointed with one year. It might not be beneficial long term, but it gives us another year to either negotiate for a longer term agreement, discuss potential new ground sites or sell to a new owner...

    Absolute bloody joke. Why have we started zonal marking? Burge is bad enough at set pieces as it is without letting every opposition player have a run at a stationary defence. The introduction of Chaplin is a bad decision too, he doesn’t work in this system. Plus we end up sacrificing others...

    Kelly has been at his absolute best today, when he plays like this is eveident how important he is. However then presence of Shipley next to him is not a coincidence. I’m a big fan of Bayliss, but his lack of positional awareness hampers Kelly. Also, Shipley looks a lot better when he just...

    Hiwula making good runs as ever. Poor poor shot from Thomas, he’s so so infuriating.

    That few minutes epitomises our season; Burge messes up (but this time at least got away with it) and Thomas does the hard work and missed an easy chance. Let’s hope we don’t regret it.

    I don’t see this as one sided as others on the thread. We really shouldn’t be worried about anyone, we’ve said all season we have some very good technical players, and with MR allowing them to be more offensive recently I think we have a strong chance today. Especially as the players have to be...

    What’s the last bit of the chant? Two horrible misses from Hiwula (as much as I like him). Our final decision/lack of clinical finishing is as evident as ever today.

    Not sure why anyone is panicking, they look incredibly poor. Scannall is an obvious stand out, but one player doesn’t make a team.

    I agree McCallum isn’t having a great game, but Sterling is nowhere near where he was earlier in the season. I’d prefer to see a youngster given a chance. Or even Grimmer if there’s any chance he’s staying next season.

    You’re not, I made the same point earlier in the thread.

    Sterling is off the pace again. I’d prefer to see a youngster who will be here next season given a chance.

    I genuinely remember having a debate with you after a game before Christmas about Hiwula. From memory you believed he offered nothing to the team and no redeeming attributes. That’s not intended as wind up post, it’s refreshing to see you have changed your view.

    You’d assume Brown is leaving in the summer, so why play him when we could give the experience to someone who is obviously highly rated.

    I know we say it every week but our pitch is so so poor and is detrimental to our style of play. Burge started as confident as ever.... Much prefer Shipley in the middle. Ropey start but fans need to calm down a bit, they are obviously going to massively up for it. We’ve started slowly but...
