    Pathetic yesterday

    I don’t know your individual circumstances, but the walk is only 30-35m from St Andrews to New St.

    You decide

    With our luck with injuries, I doubt we can clear anyone out. I think we could do with doing what we can to sign a striker. Other than that, perhaps another winger and CB? But, then again, our young CBs look good. 5-3-2/5-4-1 has been serving us well so I’m happy to for us to keep the...

    Back at the Ricoh in January

    This season we are 3rd. Were we at any one point 3rd last season? League position is all that matters. The difference this season, is that we’ve won/drew games we would’ve lost last season. We pick up a lot of points from losing positions. When you factor in our luck with injuries, it’s been a...

    Sam McCallum

    What do the professionals know, ey? I refer all readers to the various Maddison threads.

    5-3-2

    I really like this 4-3-3, but the last few games we’ve not scored. Based on what I saw last night (I’ve only seen highlight over the last few weeks with rugby, work and travelling), we didn’t look like creating any chances at all in the first half. We need to worry about ourselves first, and if...

    5-3-2

    I generally agree with tactical continuity, but Robins will recognise we need to be adaptable. We have a lack of winger and Bakayoko was not fairing well upfront on his own, and going forward we need either a CAM or another striker to support him upfront. The armchair manager in me was...

    5-3-2

    I thought we really suited this shape. In the first half, Bakayoko was so isolated, and our midfield had no movement. I’ll outline a few reasons why I liked this shape: - Strength in depth at full back: Mason, Dabo and McCallum are all fullbacks who play like wingbacks and are good at getting...

    Leeds tracking McCallum?

    He’s so terrible Villa and Leeds are looking at him... I’m more inclined to trust the judgement of MR and their scouts than your opinion. He’s a 19yr old lad, and still developing whilst putting in good performances. Good on him.

    Would another promotion propel Robins into the same legendary status as Jimmy Hill

    If we were to get promoted with Robins as manager to the Championship, he will be a club legend in his own right. Even now, he's taken us from perhaps our darkest chapter to date to a promising chapter despite the existential crisis of where we'll play our football every season hes been there...

    Match Thread Burton Albion vs. Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 14th Sep

    Drew all our away games, won all our home games. I’ll take that.

    Would JCH have fitted in

    I could be wrong, but my understanding is that there was no fee, just a sell-on clause. If there has been a fee, does anyone have an idea of what fee we received?

    Glad our fans aren't the manager...

    The loanees also have to work their way in, as Westbrook has 2 goals and Shipley has done well too. I’m sure O’Hare is doing. It’s a 50+ game season, all of our players will probably miss games down to injuries or suspension.

    Would JCH have fitted in

    JCH has been doing well since he left us, I always liked him and surprised we let him go for free. But, if he was causing disruption in the squad, then Robins is absolutely right to bin him off. The team is more important than any individual.

    Glad our fans aren't the manager...

    If that’s what you take from this season, I feel sorry for you. We’ve had 2 great comebacks this season already. Portsmouth and Blackpool! Robins is being rewarded for his faith in Shipley and Westbrook. Tinkering game-to-game doesn’t do anybody favours!

    Another bad day for the boo boys. Robins wins again.

    Transfer Rumour What is it with shooting?

    The best teams in any given league tend to have the best defences too. Under Pressley, we could score 4 goals at home and still draw games. I’d much prefer to build upon solid defensive foundations than a strong attack and leaky defence.

    Transfer Rumour What is it with shooting?

    We’ve not lost a league game. Please shut up.

    Watford v Oxford

    Would like to beat Watford, but it’s unlikely. There’s no reason why we can’t go and play well in both these these games. I wouldn’t mind a draw at Oxford.

    Match Thread Coventry City vs. Gillingham Match Thread - Saturday 24th Aug

    What difference does that make? We originally started Beavon in L2, with McNulty operating a bit deeper than how he’d end the season. We started with 4-2-3-1, switched to 4-4-2 and that got us the result we needed. Robins isn’t given the credit he deserves in this respect.
