4 points from the last 3 games is a good return. Factor in that we really should’ve knicked a win against Sunderland and missed another 1v1 against Pompey, we really could’ve got 6-7 points from these 3 games. As well as the Barnsley result, we’ve proven we can mix it with the best in this...

Today’s midfield is an interesting one, we should stick with what was successful last season.

Really want us to win today, these 15hr shifts are killing me right now. Alas, I can see us getting beat soundly today, brain says 3-1 loss, heart says 1-1 draw.

Crisis! We lost to top of the league... We were sloppy, but JCH should really bury that 1v1 and it’s a different game. Otherwise, I thought Portsmouth gave a very well organised performance that is typical of a good ‘away’ team.

You say that, but Shipley v Oxford played his part in two goals. By contrast, how many goals has Bayliss scored/assisted? 0. Likewise with Thomas. Bayliss is a better player, but so far he hasn’t been that productive either.

Personally, I thought Doyle was up there for MOTM before JCH scores and Burge made a class save. He offered a more direct threat when the game needed it. After Sunderland had some decent chances Doyle got two chances in the box. None were clear cut chances but it was important for momentum. He’s...

Today was my first game of the season, and I was impressed with the performance, a draw was a fair result but we really should've won it at the death. As for my marks: Burge, 8 - made some excellent saves to keep us in the game Sterling, 7 - went into this game with a preconception that he was...

I probably would’ve like to have seen him play a game or two before we loaned him out. That said, I trust MR and AV to develop this kind of talent well!

Sounded like the perfect Matchday experience until I read ‘vegan buffet’...

Considering Robins brought through Bayliss, Shipley and JP last season, I’d say yes. The statement that we’ve signed ‘sub standard’ players is unfair. Firstly, it’s still early doors in the season. Secondly, most of our players are young, around 21-23, so there’s a lot of developing left to do...

Our academies is one of the most productive in the country — see article on Tom Bayliss ‘one to watch’ thread. It’s good that he’s playing well for Tamworth, hopefully he can kick in and make a few appearances for us.

9 points minimum. Chaplin to become the messiah.

You’ve answered your own question. We put our best defender aerially in the area that was being targeted by ‘high balls’. Let’s be honest, Willis is scarcely a right back anyway, so does it really matter who got put where?

What are people’s actual expectations from this season? We have a team full of young players who will have off days. Patience is needed because consolidation is the target for this season. A few people comparing us with our fellow promoted teams — we’re all in a pretty similar position...

Thomas nor Stevenson has made a senior appearance for Leicester or Wolves. In fact, both were specifically signed for their U23s. Stevenson, if you remember, moved to Colchester on loan and managed to establish himself there as a bench warmer. In fairness to Stevenson, he wasn’t getting game...

He joined the ‘reigning champions’ U23s. From a professional standpoint, Thomas’ career has regressed, or at best, stagnated. He’s increased his wages, yes. Got an international call-up, yes. But, these are all short-term gains. With us, he was the main man, now he’s on the bench at Scunthorpe...

I’m sure I’ve seen Robins say somewhere that he’s offered Doyle a coaching role when he eventually retires. He just has no plans to retire yet and he could easily last another 2-3 seasons in L2 if he wanted to. He’s a consummate professional and has averaged over 40 games every season since he...

Involved in both goals v Oxford too. He’s a player that is underrated and is still developing, he may even cut it in the Championship one day.

No matter bad it got this season, I always felt if Robins could’ve almost turned around our terrible season under Mowbray/Venus/Slade, I have absolute certainty he’d do better with this lot.

Yet people seem to like to cast their doubts on Robins. Right now, I do not think there is a manager who get more out of the club than Robins. The board seem to back him to hilt and after promotion, his position amongst the players ought to be v strong too. He’s bought most of them in and he...
