To be fair while the fee would be ridiculous, we would at least have a young cdm who can play the holding midfielder role and mean we could sell sheaf next year without panicking.

Made me really want an understudy for him as another singing. If he is the only player Robins thinks can play that role that we have to change tactical shape, we need a new player to cover him.

“It’s not that out there a suggestion” I’ll take that 🤣

Love that he finds a way. Just wish we could go from pre season. And to be fair to your point that’s a major part of football which Robins has gone on about. In regards to the game being like Chess. Think he’s an amazing manager and bloke and will work it out. Just hope it’s sooner rather than...

We to be fair don’t have the same amount of coaches as other championship teams even with the four. I think robins just struggles initially to move on from an idea when it’s not working. When we do move shape I think we’ll start to click and be the attacking team we were all talking about pre...

Think for context most fans love Robins and would never want him gone in a million years. But it’s frustrating that he never starts right and takes sometime to work it out from his squad. Last year we started with a 5-3-2 till we dropped it for a 4-2-3-1. League one we started a bit average...

Wouldn’t mind a 4-3-3 and to be fair that’s what I thought we’d start after the Everton match. Don’t really understand why we’ve gone back to a 4-2-3-1 which doesn’t look like it’s working for us but it’s early days, easy for fans to say what we think but hard for coaches as they have to do the...

Don’t really disagree with that in regards to wide. But from the match Bristol dominated the match from just breaking out high press due to the low line the defence held. One of my big points of advocacy for the 4-4-2 is how compact it’ll make our team in defence where as a 4-2-3-1 is always a...

On that note then we could always start wright and EMC on the left when Raphael is fit. Reason I think BTA would be good is as you say he’s a nuisance and any balls headed on by simms or defenders he’d be all over. On the flair point. I mean we’d have flair by Jack, Tats and EMC once he’s up...

Is it too early to ask us to look towards a 4-4-2 in the next match. Gets our wingers more involved in the play and allows Simms to have a partner to knock balls onto.

Thought I’d have a look. Unable to find any pass stats to Simms but I did find a map analysis of our passes As you can see we never went central with our passes and mostly played to the wing. Is Simms brilliant in his link play? no but we don’t use him enough. We just try to get him to run the...

But we have to get the ball to simms in order to do that. Which today our midfield really struggled to do because we just seemed to hoof it up front and hope for the best.

To be fair, I’m definitely overreacting but I’m annoyed today. Tactics in the first half were so pragmatic. We just pasted it back and when we did go forward hoofed it up hoping simms or Wright could carry it on. Where was the team that started like a rash on Oxford. We can dominate teams...

Annoyed at that. Feel like I’m been scammed after watching Everton. Be brave. We keep signing strikers but don’t seem to ever play like we want to score. Please can we get a 4-4-2 next game. Just get some directness and attack them.

And we just missed out on Liam Walsh

I’d be tempted, good age to kick on with further development from Robins and Co. For the right price be an amazing deal to sell Palmer on sign Cantwell. But his attitude is a big turn off so would imo depend on how robins would intend to manage it.

Can’t blame him or the parents to be honest. Sure city Will provide him with a higher quality of training and will probably of filled their heads about future opportunities. Just wish we could sort out a fairer model for this possibly including mandated sell on fees. But as others have said we...

Doug King to George Smith

Is that why we sold godden then 🤣

Completely respect you won’t give names but just to stop the bedwetting can you say if we’re after a cb and cm? Pretty please 🤣
