Everyone, take a deep breath. You can stop being paranoid about Rotherham and Derby all of a sudden winning all their games. No coincidence we're a better side with Godden and Walker back to some form of fitness. They score good goals, make positive runs and games open up with their threat.

I like Biamou, has had some good performances and got a nice ‘strikers’ goal tonight. You’re absolutely right, he doesn’t have the killer instinct. I’d offer him an extension, but we can’t really having him starting 19 games again next season.

You can’t knock the finishes both of Stoke’s goals, absolute quality strikes. The positioning leaves a lot to be desired...

Well, he did prevent a goal...

@shmmeee is 17th still our ceiling?

Both Walker and Godden give the team natural finishing ability, goals like today, Barnsley and Brentford (H) demonstrate why they both need to start. Without causing a new Biamou debate, he just doesn’t have that killer instinct. Biamou can offer some good interplay and be a right nuisance...

Grimmer’s goal against Exeter in the playoff final. That sealed the win for me and the moment I knew we were getting promoted. I missed the Checkatrade but watched it in the Uni library doing my dissertation and cheered as we scored but it wasn’t the same as being there!

If he was truly stubborn then he would be more likely to fit what players he has available to the same system. I get the impression a lot of people on here think you can just change systems and styles of play at the drop of a beat. You need some consistency of tactics and systems or players...

How can anyone accuse Robins of being tactically stubborn? Anyone who’s followed us in his second spell can see we’ve changed systems several times. Real life football management is not like FIFA or Football Manager where changing tactics changes things at the click of the button.

I wouldn’t rest on our laurels, but to get relegated at this point, we’d have to lose all our games whilst Derby and Rotherham need to win 50% of their remaining games. Even if we lose both away fixtures, it’d be surprising if we fail to pick up a single point from PNE or Millwall at home...

Technically, we can be caught. But the likelihood of both Rotherham and Derby catching us up is not very probable. Frankly, Rotherham are running out of games to make the gap up and they’ve blew their chance of survival by losing to Wycombe, ourselves, Birmingham and drawing to Huddersfield in...

With Sheaf, the decision MR has to make is how much he is willing to invest in his development to make it work. He’s had some good moments, some bad. But, 750k is not an insignificant sum to us so it may be worth looking elsewhere.

Who’d have thought Brexit would save football?

We’re 18th now and Biamou has been our main striker this season. He’s had some good games here and there, but does not have a killer instinct in front of goal. I have no doubt in my mind that had Godden played as many games as Biamou, we’d be higher up the table. This season, he’s 1 in 3.5...

What? I’d be more than happy to swap places with them. We have made a lot of mistakes this season by trying to play it around in defence. Yet, we’ve madequite a few of our goals by forcing errors from teams trying to play it from the back, the best example being against Brentford (H).

With 12 points left to play for, it obviously suggests that 17th is not our ceiling. Not to mention both our top scoring strikers haven’t been fit for most of this season. With the right additions, we’ll be decent mid table outfit with a solid foundation.

I think it depends on how we want to play going forwards. Undoubtedly, we’ve been more direct and feeding off of other teams mistakes. If we intend to play this way going forward, he can add a lot of value to the team defensively.

We’re 3 points from 14th as things stand now... it’s not even our ‘ceiling’ now.

I think injuries / match fitness was the deciding factor to play 1 upfront. If Bakayoko looked like he was even close to scoring, I’m sure we would’ve played 2 strikers more often. Also, we should’ve been 2-0 up after about 10 minutes against Wycombe. We hardly ‘shit ourselves’, Wycombe dug...

They highlight the importance of leadership in a football team. Especially a team that is in a relegation scrap like ourselves. Although, if we’re to progress in the Championship, we really do need upgrades on these players.
