3 home losses already. I am sick of conceding so many soft goals. There’s no point having as many good forward players as we do if we’re going to create barely any chances and concede so many soft goals.

No chance. We create nothing for the firepower we have upfront. Teams play through us with embarrassing ease. Defence and midfield is holding us back, 100%.

Of course, I’ve been critical of the defence too because we just cannot seem to keep clean sheets. Our forward department is the best stocked it has ever been post-Premiership, there’s Wright, BTA and Simms capable of getting 10-20 league goals a season and they’re supported by the likes of...

I don’t think that pairing is and with all due respect to them both, our results against the the best teams in the league last season speaks for itself. It’s not a good thing either. Against Leeds we looked awful and one of those battlegrounds we lost was in midfield.

The mistake was playing an unchanged team v Swansea after a surprisingly good performance v Spurs. The team at Watford away played v well and imo, would’ve done better in that game. Leeds was a bit of a write off because of how good they are and it’s away. I expect the team against Wednesday...

There’s lots more depth for our forward positions, out wide and upfront. The rest of the team is lacking in depth though. We’ve got numbers at CB, but Lati is also covering RB and CM with Allen missing. The forward positions having depth makes a lot of sense because in-game substitutions tend...

Don’t worry, there’s only 114 points left to play for…

If we don’t make any signings in Jan, we’ll fall short again because the squad is the same size if not slightly smaller. The minutes will accrue quickly for Eccles and Sheaf who averaged 73 and 82 minutes per game last season. We’re short in numbers and one good performance doesn’t make us...

The good thing is that the shirt design is bespoke. The original concept for the away kit isn’t that popular, let alone among a more niche audience. Nice idea, poor execution. I do think this type of product should be brought out more irregularly. Otherwise, it seems like an extra cynical ploy...

That’s why teams bring in rapid full backs! The distance they need to cover is insane!

Ffs Anyone pissing the bed after 7 league games needs perspective. If we win at the weekend, all of a sudden the start isn’t doomsday scenario we all imagined. Enjoyed tonight, it was great to have a commanding performance and a clean sheet.

BTA was excellent tonight and looks twice the player as a striker rather than on the RW. The competition between him and Simms will be fierce. Personally, I think Simms wins that battle in the long haul and they offer v different attributes to one another.

Lati and Binks are conceded at a rate of 2 per game. Funny how none of the midfield was mentioned and it’s probably the single biggest issue in our team atm, then defence. The forwards, I’m more relaxed about because there’s proven goal scorers in there and genuinely think it’s just a matter...

There will come a day that’ll happen when attendances are sold out week in, week out in the Prem. A few clubs have 3 strike rules. I know Man U have a policy where you have to buy all home cup matches (including Europe) and if you don’t scan the ticket nor sell the ticket back to the club for...

I’m running late because I heavily procrastinated coming tonight - cold, wet and we’re playing shite. Feels like I’m getting up for work not going to watch the City!

Sheaf was captain last season and nothing was wrong there. He made his first start at the weekend. Outside of that, yes there is a lack of leaders.

We had Vik and Hamer the year we nearly went up. Two players who were arguably the 2 best players in the division that season. AV and MR made a great connection but it was plain sailing at the start. Especially in the L2 and L1 days.

If we going to be ridiculous, why not go for Pep if we sack Robins? 😂

An issue with both Rishi Sunak and indeed Keir Starmer is that they’re both inexperienced and overpromoted in their short careers. Both of them only became MPs in 2015.

I just think we need to give these things a bit more time. Robins seems to have picked this coaching unit and he will find a way to make this work. It should be an eye-opener that there are many areas we need to strengthen to compete at the top of this division. Despite the early hype going...
