Yes and no. Outside of the final third, he’s great. When it comes to shooting or passing to players in the box, it drops off. Against Middlesborough, I’d keep the team as is, even Rudoni at LWB.

I also think Torp looks better alongside Sheaf imo. It’s the same with Eccles, looks twice the player alongside Sheaf. Today Torp offered us something we don’t have without him, some lovely passes and of course his finish. A shot that Sheaf nor Eccles would take on their weak foot. In fact...

Can we stop the nonsense of suggesting Bassette and BTA upfront ahead of Simms and Wright please?

Still conceded 2 goals in a home game… Do we laugh or cry at this point? 😂

It’s almost like the manager and coaches tried this out in training and liked the look of it. Good to hear we’re doing well, I’ve just got to the ground.

I suggested Kitch as a potential LB in a 4-2-3-1 so it’s not a surprise we’ve gone for this. Our defence is just that leaky we need to build back a foundation. QPR breached the gap between Binks and JDS 3-4 times on Tuesday, including the move that led to their goal.

Who is playing LB today? Binks or Kitching?

Who hasn’t got a chance? I assume you mean Labour so will respond in kind. I really dislike it when a new government blames all the ills of their programme on the previous regime. Hated it when Cameron and Osborne spent 2010 blaming the weather on the previous Labour government To sum up the...

It was 6th best in the league last season in terms of goals conceded. You’re not making any sense.

He has only rotated the strikers. We have 4 good strikers with lots of depth who will all have their expectations of minutes. Got to keep them all happy too.

It’s not something I’ve looked into personally. With these initiatives, they’re not necessarily things that will bring in overnight benefits. You need businesses to set up at these sites and to go live operationally. Similar to infrastructure spending and/or planning reform. The benefits tend...

Agreed. In my mind, all we need is a player like Hamer in this team and we become so much better at creating chances, and scoring goals (in theory). Likewise, something needs to be done about the defence. You look at Eccles and Sheaf, they do not pass enough to players in the box. Both are...

Freeports are good idea, I have no problem with them at all. If they’re expanding the program you’d hope the previously announced Freeport’s are doing well. They’re not trying to skirt around post-Brexit rules in the way you think. You still need to perform the customs declarations when you...

This team is still the best we’ve assembled since 2001. We’re in a much better place (squad wise) than 2022/23. There’s issues still and we need 2-4 signing over the next 2 windows to get us up to scratch.

Well, law abiding citizens need not be ‘traumatised’ because a career criminal was shot by the police. I would not be traumatised if a random criminal in my community was shot by the police. In fact, I’d go as far to say that people saying ethnic minorities communities being ‘traumatised’ by...

Wright and BTA are over performing their xG whilst Simms and Bassette should have 1 more goal each. Both have missed 1 ‘massive’ (0.5 xG) and Simms has missed 2 ‘good’ chances (0.3 xG) a piece. Then, contrast that with xA for our midfielders, they aren’t underperforming (0.2-3 below) on that...

Have you finally found my collection of history books? 😂

It’s also too early in the season to really make such a huge decision to sack such a successful manager. In ten games time, we could go on an excellent run of form and many people look like complete idiots for even questioning Robins. This literally happened on 2022/23 and the the L1 winning...

We have been unlucky and I’m reasonably certain we’re still after defenders and midfielders. On the McFadz and Kitching point, I believe MR an expected Fadz to last the whole season but the season didn’t pan out this way. It’s noteworthy that the Thomas-Kitching partnership was at its best when...

If you look at the team compared to 2022/23, what have improved? Strikers - we improved upon Gyokeres with 2 players and since added 2 more. Last season BTA, Simms & Wright got 46 goals combined. Midfielders - we’ve lost Kelly, Hamer, Palmer and COH. Replaced by Torp and Rudoni. Hamer’s 22/23...
