Easy to have a solid defence with the way we're set up today. Good example of what I meant about us playing with no strikers earlier just before they hit the post. Kane crossing the ball for O Hare while our strikers are 25 yards from goal. And that wasn't a fast break with players catching up...

Catch 22 with Waghorn for me. Clearly needs the time on the pitch to gett fitter and into some kind of form but at the same time, he's not offering anything in the here and now.

I'm in full agreement. Template mid table Championship team in a template kit playing template football. Big, strong, organised and absolutely boring as fuck.

Needs at least one of our strikers to start playing as a striker if we're going to get 3 points out of this. We're neat and tidy but no-one is pulling their backline out of shape and they're just sitting relatively deep and remaining well organised. Wingbacks are doing their job well in terms of...

Gyokeres needs to get his head up earlier and choose his moments to dribble a bit bette. He's, started to give the ball away a lot recently when he just gets head down and drives at players anywhere on the pitch.

Reminds me of Barnsley last year when they just rotated new players in to do the chopping, as the old ones got booked.

Only slight negative so far is that neither Gyokeres or Waghorn are really working their back line, both dropping pretty deep looking for the ball in similar positions. Not really working as a pair so far.

Was a bit worried about Keith Stroud reffing today but those early yellows should help stamp out their cynical fouling.

Been a very solid start, don't think Preston have strung 3 passes together yet. Their big donkeys can't get close to us when we knock the ball around but are happy to give away cheap free kicks and defend the subsequent corners and free kicks.

Was going to have 10 quid on Waghorn and O'Hare to both score, Hamer to not get booked and MR to use all his substitutions before 65 minutes but decided to just burn the tenner instead.

I've no idea what is really going on but there have been several recent 'off the field' statements and soundbites around finances, all of which have raised as many questions as they've answered. Historically under SISU, when that kind of thing starts happening, there's a kick in the nuts just...

Is this a reaction to the announcement of the new Covid rules relaxation?

Surprised with the high scores for Vik, thought he was poor in possession tonight and looked absolutely knackered which reflected in his decision making on the few times he did get the ball to feet. Was there when it mattered most though and was a good finish.

Robins must have the most victories by a single goal than any manager in our entire history.

Not just the right pass but the weight of it was perfect too

Robins bringing Shipley on because we beat Bristol with 10 men last time out.

Dabo and Sheaf please. It's already 20 minutes too late.

Game changing moment at 1-0.

Yeah, possession footballer and we've barely strung 3 passes together this half.
