    Lose the Gut Thread 2019!!

    My mum brought a treadmill on a whim, and it’s been a great investment. It’s easy to talk yourself out of walking to a gym/going on a run, but with a treadmill in the living room (temporarily), there’s no excuse not go on it! Also trying intermittent fasting, usually between 12-14hrs, maybe...

    Kastaneer, the new Kevin Malaga?

    Marko Maroši went to Burnley College. He’s been in the UK for a long time and has only played professional football in England. Have you heard his deceptively northern accent?

    Notts County had a ‘better’ 46-game season than us that year... They’re 6th in the National League, we’re 4th in League 1. It doesn’t matter if you come 4th or 7th in L2 if you win the playoffs.

    L1 game tonight

    This is a blow for Wycombe, P’boro one of the only teams below them in the form table and they’re being beaten badly. It started off as a joke with a colleague, but I did say Wycombe will be going downhill since we battered them 4-1.

    Mark Robins

    Robins is the best manager we’ve had since we’re relegated from the Premiership. There’s not really a case to be made against that. We’re on course to finish in the Top 6 for only two times in the last 50-odd years. Both under Robins. Doesn’t make him ‘the best’ manager we’ve had, Mowbray has...

    Wycombe was a bad example to use, we’ll probably overtake them in the next couple of games. Ainesworth has done a fantastic job with Wycombe - took several years to get promoted, does that take away from his achievements with Wycombe over the last 3 years? One promotion and a cup win in 3...

    This thread is going round in circles. Is there a manager operating at our level that you would rather have now than Robins? Yes or no. If no, the conversation has reached a natural conclusion.

    Match Thread Coventry City vs. Birmingham City Match Thread - Saturday 25th Jan

    Birmingham are clearly the favourites, but it’s cup football and teams with contrasting form. I think we could turn them over! 2-1.

    Agreed. Outside of the elite managers, how many managers are successful at multiple clubs? Not many. Even less of those will be hanging around in League 1. A lot of these managers come in somewhere, at the right time, and the right circumstances and all goes to plan. Would Robins have done...

    What would Real Madrid be like without Ronaldo, or Messi at Barcelona... Also, how many goals did McGoldrick score before Robins came in?

    Match Thread Doncaster Rovers vs. Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 18th Jan

    It’s probable that Moore meant ‘seasons’ rather than years since Robins hasn’t been back for 3 years. You’ve got 8 players from the match day squad who have been with the club for while around 2 seasons or more: Mason Bakayoko McCallum Kelly Biamou Westbrook Hyam Shipley There’s probably more...

    Transfer Rumour Bullshit/legit Rumours Jan 2020

    Scary thoughts. I'd like to think we're in a stronger position this time around with our squad compared to 2015/16 as we're not relying on young loanees and don't need to fill our squad/bench with player like Fortune, Hunt, Ramage and Henderson - all of whom had past it badly when they came in...

    Lowest league defeats in a season

    Before Xmas we had one of, if not the lowest GD in the top half. Now, the GD isn’t as much of a factor as we’ve started to catch up to others. We just need to keep the scoreboard ticking over, and if we’re not losing, we’re exactly that. You look at the likes of Ipswich, Sunderland, P’boro and...

    Match Thread Doncaster Rovers vs. Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 18th Jan

    The majority of our match day squad has been together for 2-3 years (seasons is probably what he means) to varying degrees. More importantly, in my view, is that Robins has brought some continuity because he’s been with the club for nearly 3 years so there’s a settled framework at the club. To...

    Strength in depth

    From my understanding, Pask is a CB by trade, and the early signs from him is that he is a good player. They’ve been good enough when called upon this season and last, and ultimately, they need game time to develop to become a starter. After all, Hyam was brought in as a 4th choice, development...

    Strength in depth

    I think Pask could fit in quite nicely at CB, even without him, our young players our capable of filling in for a couple of games. Unless we’re really unlucky, CB is a strong position.

    The top 10

    I hope this is true. My Wycombe supporting workmate is not looking forward to the return leg, and after our 3-0 win v Bristol Rover said ‘you lot aren’t losing for a while’. Hopefully, that is the wider perception with other supporters around the league.
