It’s been a consistent theme this season. Incremental improvement and that’s why there’s a 5 year plan to get promoted rather than a 1-2 year plan. It was a big clear out and turnover of players. Overall, we’re a stronger outfit but we’re still down on players ‘net’. Irrespective of what league...

Nope. These stats are wrong, we clearly need a new GK.

The squad is a bit thin in some areas but if you compare the situation to last season, it’s night and day. The consensus was that our season was ‘over’ when COH done his ACL or when Palmer did his hamstring against Sunderland. Robins will adapt and he is just managing expectations atm. We’ve...

Considering Prem teams were interested in him, I’m sure that’s his ceiling… He is on track to beat Gyokeres’ stats in his first full season. Who, btw, missed by far the most ‘big’ chances statistically in the league. Wright has been more clinical so far, even if there’s room for improvement there.

It’s a tough game and one that we can definitely lose if we don’t keep our wits about us. A draw keeps us on track but believe we’ll hold the line and catch them on break.

You’d take a draw against Plymouth but I fancy us to take advantage of their attacking play by hitting them on the counter. 3-1 to City.

Lati did just that. We did fight back, there times where our players gave a little back and we got away with it.

He did and feel that’s partly because we made an effort to put balls over the defence. With a bit more accuracy it’s a tactic that could work. Wright himself looked more dangerous on the wing which was telling for me.

I don’t think Robins-ball is predictable at all. Millwall set up with 3-4-2-1 and as we know, this is a solid formation defensively. What I will say, is that Wright being quiet today demonstrates how much we’re struggling to engage our strikers. Wright looked better on the wing. In the coming...

Absolutely. Gyokeres scored some ‘ugly’ goals but they all count the same. The keeper probably should have save it, but he didn’t. Going for the near post possibly caught the keeper out.

I didn’t see the incident properly at the game but you could see Lati speak to the ref and Saka intimate that he’d been elbowed. That’s a red card offence and retrospective action is needed.

There was an old man sat behind me on Tuesday saying that Wright and Simms were a waste of money and that we should’ve signed a ‘proven Championship striker’… It properly grated on me. Like who? Gyokeres and Akprom were proven Championship strikers - both playing European football. Who else...

Sounds like the guy sat next to me on Tuesday - some absolute eejits out there.

Whatever preference you had has been downgraded… where’s the phoenix? 👀

So the consensus would be that so far, he’s played his better football at LW or ST? I don’t think MR would agree with that as things stand today. The difference is Tuesday’s goal v Wednesday and he’s played upfront about 3-5 times more than LW. So if we wanted to go into the granular detail...

So if Wright struggled in his favoured position but prospered out wide, what does that tell you about our tactics?

The way players speak to refs sometimes is a blight on the sport. I don’t see blue cards being a problem at all. Don’t speak to the ref like he’s scum and you won’t get punished.

Spot on. Both players have had confidence issues, particularly Simms. If we get them involved in dangerous areas I am convinced we have two players who will smash it in this league.

Thomas comes back in for sure and if possible, I’d look to rest MVE (and Saka) at some point.

Yes, you are right! That was an oversight on my part!
