I miss the days I had a stand to myself. ;)

Don't get me wrong - I'm with you on this. I don't have a problem with wilson and let's be honest we'd have lost to Leeds whoever was in goal but FFS Robins just pick your first choice 11 and play it.

Nah, he is still young. He's not done badly in my view. Robins has made comments about him not being vocal enough. That will come when he is more comfortable with his defence.

Robins indicated he was unsettled by the number of strikers brought in and he is clearly a confidence player. Knowing the hook is coming and sitting on the bench isn't helping. BUT - I'm not even sure I am in agreement with your comment that he is playing sh!t. He's not in form but he is still...

Urrrgghh... here we go again. His record before us was fine. For a time last season he was looking a top player that premier league clubs were looking at and now we have decided he is sh1t again. We've made exactly the same mistakes with him as we made last season. We stupidly bought too many...

We need some positive energy from the crowd tonight. For all the talk about injuries this is the first game of the season we could potentially field our 'first choice' starting 11 with decent options on the bench. Blackburn have started well but I don't really covet any of their players. Worm's...

Yeah, this. I was going to try a similar list for anyone whose memory doesn't quite go back as far as 87 for the previous 30 years. I remember some good one off games (wins over Arsenal, Liverpool, Man U, Villa) and some great individuals. But a list of team achievements... help me out someone!!

TBF Lg1 champs set a very low bar. :(

Outsider perspective. You've got to be a bit nuts to back us for promotion right now, but other than missing the lack of depth in midfield it is really balanced and well researched. Worth a look in my view.

Absolutely. We did some proper patching the play off season. My point here was more that I don't think most of us really expected Raphael to be starting games at this point in his career. I saw him as one for the future/later in the season. I would have expected him to be at least 3rd choice in...

I admire your pluck! You won't remember this BSF but it wasn't that long ago that I used to reminisce about the time Micky Adams dragged a team containing Dele Adebola and Stuart Giddings to 8th place in the championship - the only time I recalled a top flight finish in my life time. I am old...

People can throw around numbers if they like but the reality is that I didn't think we were going to compete at the top this season because we bought Binks, some guy that got relegated with Huddersfield, some guy with a few goals for Peterborough, etc, etc... I, and I think most other people...

TBF it is probably heavily scewed by coincidence but in my mind (and Robins' last season) Thomas and Kitching are our first choice centre back pairing and the fact that they aren't this season is one of the most perplexing elements of our slow start.

Fair point. My understanding when we bought him him was that he played across the front 3. My comment really relates to the fact that Robins seems reluctant to use him there when I saw that as being the position he would predominantly be expected to play. Also, on reflection perhaps the club...

I've used the 6 in 36/1 win in 12 (or whatever it is now) in other threads. I know it gets a lot of pushback but I think it is a relevant element of our run of form as it is mostly the same players/many of the issues have carried over and is helpful in understanding where the issues lie...

The dreaded SBT vote of confidence... 😬

I'm expecting an encouraging performance away at Leeds. Whether that translates to points or carries through to the game after I would rather not say. Seems to be the way of things at the moment. Sooner or later we will break the cycle.

It's not BTA's game. It is not Wright's game either which makes us very weak down the flanks. We might be able to get away with it with a solid, flat three in midfield but...

He was a cheap buy. The biggest reason anyone is interested in him is because we spent big on EMC apparently not knowing that he plays the other side of the pitch. 🤷
