He put in some solid tackles but I don’t disagree with the view that Torp and Eccles struggled when pressed and I’ve felt all 3 games we’ve been open in midfield and defence. That may be a tactical issue(s) that needs to be tweaked but I suspect that Sheaf will shore things up.

He set the tone from the first minute when he tried to knock the ball past his man and had tremendous pace. He’s scoring 20+ league goals this season.

I rewatched the highlights and Haji’s anticipation for the winner was fantastic! Thought he had a superb game, instrumental in all 3 goals and frankly should’ve scored before the winner with 1-2 chances beforehand. Tats too, linked up really well with MVE which was typified with how he set up...

On the ball, without a doubt. Defensively, Kitching and Thomas are better imo. All 3 league goals we’ve conceded have been poor and the defence including Binks bears responsibility there.

Binks’ distribution is top notch but his positioning could be worked on, imo. I felt we were more secure in the Bristol City game but distribution-wise, we looked a lot better with Binks. I suspect there will be a lot of rotation in that LCB role depending on the opposition.

Seen the goals we’ve conceded this season so far? It’s been nightmarish.

Well deserved win and on the ball we looked fantastic. The only issue we had was off the ball, the spine looked weak. Got away with gifting two soft goals! On we March!

I agree it should be scrapped tbh, especially being so early in the season.

Wembley would make the most sense to host a semi final if we went down the neutral venue route. There’s not many stadia that are big enough to host the big teams evenly imo. I do agree that 2 legged semi final is naff - it isn’t Europe!

I hoped you’d say Kefalonia was rubbish. I was supposed to go there on my cruise in May but the weather called it off because the port is tiny. The scenery looked amazing.

Consecutive away games at Bristol City and consecutive home matches v Oxford. What are the chances of that? It’s a winnable tie but it’s just boring to be playing the same teams over and over. Easy 20 points for though for the people complaining about access to away games.

Great, another repeat fixture… at least it’s winnable.

It wasn’t a 4-4-2 in the traditional sense. After made the subs, for a 5-10m period Palmer was hugging the left hand side and BTA operating as a striker. From going 1-0 up, BTA was on the left hand side and Palmer back as an AM. At least that’s how it looked to me in the stands. Wright operates...

… I’ll let you debate that with 2019/20 Fernando. He had some nice touches but it was less convinced with how we looked defensively and in possession it was often too cautious (this isn’t just Torp btw).

Exactly, I reckon that’s the profile we’re going for because there’s a lot of potential in all 4 of our current CBs. In the two games so far, we’ve been a bit open and my concern is that our defence will not be good enough to finish in the Top 4.

I believe, perhaps naively, that there’s still funds that was earmarked for the Stamenic transfer that never went through. There’s been snippets that we’re still negotiating for Marsden. We were told about Dovin at the start of the window and he came in about 6-8 weeks after the matter. If...

I agree that we need a dynamic RB but I still feel we look open in defence and for that reason, if the choice is one or the other, you’d have to go for a CB all day.

Pun definitely intended…

Pretty bang average game and glad Robins called that out. Our midfield without Sheaf looks weak. It’s without a doubt our top priority to get a CM through the door this window. Too conservative in possession, we’ve got bags of pace which we’re often not using. Just got in from the game and...
