Messi wants out of Barcelona... reckon we could swoop in?

To be fair, you weren’t really fond of Robins in League 1 or 2 either. Two promotions later, I doubt there’s anything more he could do to win you over. At least your consistent in your criticisms.

Mentioned this before, but it might be a shout playing him him further forward when Dabo returns. McCallum has been playing well, but is not a natural RWB and Giles has the pace to cause the opposition defence issues. Personally, I could see us adapting the current system to accommodate two...

He’s a good manager, his career reflects that. Just not with us. We bottled it by not making the playoffs in his first full season. Following that season, the squad he assembled was poor and setup us up for failure. Perhaps there was stuff going on behind closed doors, such as reduced budget...

We've played 2 teams in the bottom half. We've had a tough start to the season.

Brentford are very good team! Comparing ourselves to them isn’t going to help. It didn’t help that we had a weakened side too.

Only football could introduce technological advancements to the game and the officiating actually becomes worse. Surely there should be scope for a challenge system - one per half/game?

Robins comments are insightful. He often talks about ‘coming to grips’ with this league. That will eventually come and we’ve been naive in a lot of games so far. Considering we have next to no wingers we don’t have many options. Your options probably look like 4-1-2-1-2 (diamond) or 3-4-1-2...

I have a mate who supports Wycombe, and rather us than him at the minute!

He’s the 5th top scorer in the league... Personally, I think we should partner Walker with Gooden. Gooden can be quite isolated at times, and doesn’t have the pace to make us a threat with direct balls. His hold up play is very much underrated, but, doesn’t have the physicality to impose...

Take the point based on Brentford and Barnsley. Today, we had the best chance of the game before the red card. We’re always going to struggle against Blackburn if we have 10 men. They’ve battered a few teams this season already. I do agree that we need an option to be more direct. Which is why...

I’ll reiterate my view that we should play 3-4-1-2 when Walker is back and getting game time. But, we’ve had a real tough run of games to start the season. By next Friday, we would have played 4 of the top 6, including 1st and 2nd. The early front runners in Brentford and a Blackburn team who...

Wait, a team assembled for less than £2m can’t compete for Championship playoffs? I don’t think many fans planned for us to lose 20-odd games this season, and it really shows.

I don’t think so. We’ve played 2 teams in the bottom half of this league, and picked up 4 points. I'll reserve my judgement until we have played a few teams around us.

Blackburn were very good to be fair and with a red card, hardly a surprising outcome after the card within 15 minutes. Looking at our opposition, we’ve had a real tough run of it since the Bournemouth game. Things will get better.

It kills the game off. Surely it’s not a penalty AND a red card. To be fair, we’re still in this game and that’s something positive to take from this half.

How often do Allen and COH receive the ball out wide? It’s not a much of a change. There isn’t much difference in our shape and a 3-4-3 which is generally played with wingers.

2nd penalty he’s conceded this season. Why do we give away so soft penalties?

Head says a draw. But, I fancy us to steal a win. 2-1 - Gooden and COH.

I wonder what’s happened to Marquis. Given the choice, I’d have chosen him over Gooden, at the time. Maybe Robins would have too, given his past interest in him. Has Marquis become a bad player, or is Jackett playing tactics that don’t get the most out of him. Either way, I’m glad we ended up...
