What about a draw 🤣

Need to build on the second half of Bristol here and look to control the game but more so be brave in attacking and putting ourselves out there. Would love more of the 4-4-2 but can see us starting in a 4-3-3 so we can control the pace. 2-1 Cov

If been pitching a 4-4-2 since Everton and do believe it’s the way forward. In midfield I do believe both have the creativity to drive us up and with the wingers who would look to tuck in, think we’d have a lot of control. Think it also would get the best out of simms and BTA who can make runs...

Last time tonight but can Robins reflect on that goal and look to change shape. Think with it we could have more goal fests then the 13/14 season.

Why why have we moved palmer back to a ten from the wing. Honestly going to change my name to 4-4-2 Goblin at this point

I fucking said it 4-4 fucking 2 🤣

I know it’s early but much happier than Saturday. Midfield doing well and forcing the issue. Palmer doing well

If we were still in league one I’d agree with you but the championship is one of the hardest leagues in terms of physicality and technical ability in Europe. We shouldn’t throw lads into the deep end sink or swim unless we believe them to have a high ceiling.

we sure Cov 11 isn’t Doug trying to weed them out 🤣

Not sure on another Cm incoming. Just looks like one of our youth prospects going away on loan tbh. Would love to be proven wrong though.

Look I don’t think any manager is perfect but comparing Mark Robins to Ryan Lowe

Excluding Palmer who I don’t think has the work rate or defensive ability to play a 8. The issue is we have three who I’d are up to standard the other two however I’m not sure there up the quality we want. Early days tho

What’s the shape? 🤣

Positively shows he is willing to change, but does seem to need a tinker to get going. Hoping we can either get going in a 4-3-3 or we change shape a bit earlier than last year.

Think we stuck we a 5-2-1-2 since the first championship year until O’Hare got injured and then we went between 5-2-2-1 and the 5-2-1-2. Since then though it’s been a bit all over the place with 4-3-3 and 4-2-3-1

Further on this, you could argue robins takes a bit longer to get the best out of his players as opposed to setting up that way. Take last year once we changed shape and played more direct we started to fly but it took robins some time to realise it wasn’t working

We could always change shape to a 4-4-2 since we’d have sheaf/ Eccles as enforcers and Torp/Rudoni as a more creative 8s? God I hope robins reads this forum 🤣

Would also add da silva onto that list. Think he could surprise a few this year.

I mean on the expectations, while fans have been a bit optimistic like myself. The board are asking for play offs. Robins has been and is probably the best manager this club has had in a long long time but after all the money spent if we can’t get sixith. You do have to ask the question.
