Talk about turning a club into a profiteering company using amoral tactics, such as uprooting a club from its home town and damaging local sports teams such as Cov RFC... Want to kick us out of our academy and maybe stadium, which looks increasingly likely they can't really afford either. Wasps...

'Shows how far we've fallen'... ... erm, Man U would take academy players from us at any point in our past and future...

I could see it being a draw, but I'd like us to get a solid win streak going now, a 5-6 win streak off the back of our skid will put us in good stead.

I mean, he was decent back in the early naughties, getting the best out of Michael Owen... that was my point, albeit clumsily put!

Portsmouth's and Plymouth's top scorers amassed 13 and 15 goals respectively. Both midfielders too. We already have Jones on 4 in 7... At the rate we're conceding goals, we don't need to score many at all...

The timing of the goal v Newport was perfect for them. Start of 2nd half allowed them to consolidate and put 10 men behind the ball making it more difficult to break them down. No mistake, it's game where we could have maybe have nicked it. That's football for you. Yeovil is less clear cut...

I think we'll get another clean sheet, and a 1-0 to make it a hat-trick of wins. Same set up as Tuesday, and I fancy one of Jones or Nazon to get the goal, or maybe a new goalscorer.

If you think his role is to score goals, you're missing the point. His role is very much to enhance the team, to bring other players into the game and to press defenders and so on. A poor man's Heskey if you will. The guy got player of the year for Burton in the 14/15 season (L2 Champs), scoring...

The more pertinent point being that in Robins' opinion, he's not up to stratch with the rest of the squad. He's a development player, thus, his development is the most important thing to us. Besides, younger players rarely maintain form for a whole season straight, so I'd rather him burst onto...

For all the hype surrounding 'The Duck', I get the impression Nazon isn't fit enough to play for 90m. Fades out of games after a while and MR's comments indicate he's a pretty lax trainer too. If we can improve him and knock these bad habits out of him, I'd like to at least try and sign him...

I think him going to Newcastle stunted his development. Went from 1st team player, playing week in, week out in the championship, to not playing at all... (... I think the same will happen to George Thomas.) Also, even if Ponticelli is the real deal, I think we've got a good enough squad for...

We've just been a tad unlucky. But I think we've got the depth to compete as shown last night. Andreu is a big blow, because I thought he'd be a big contributor to our season. But, I think we've got the team to adapt and move on. Even without him, this team should be good enough for top 5. If...

I think Jones is benefitted from the increased game time, coaching and the faith Robins has in him. L2 isn't as high a standard, but, it's allowed him to develop where I think he'd be a star player in L1 for us. He's been with us since a 17yrs old, we probably expected too much of him early on...

We play 4-2-3-1 so the formation kind of lends itself to that midfield shape. 4-4-2 you're looking more balance because the 2 strikers can get isolated without a more attacking midfielder in there. Options for me now Andreu is injured: 1) Keep the same shape, but with Nazon behind the striker...

I think a lot of people panicked after our 2 game losing streak. But, this team is solid, we've kept a staggering 5 clean sheets in 7, and I think we'd be in even better stead had it not been for keeping errors. Think we've got all the tools needed to come top 7 at least in this league. Tonight...

That's how things have panned out so far, but, I hope sooner rather than later we get that comeback win. It's going to be important if we're going to well. Otherwise we'll be in a cycle of 'win one, lose one' like in MR's first spell.

Atm, you're right. But, this is off the back of 3 very disappointing results and before then we beat Notts County 3-0 (who haven't lost since) and Grimsby 2-0. That to me suggests the goals are in there. The main this is our defence - best in the league so far - with 2 keeping howlers! For me...

Think we'll shape up 4-2-3-1 again tomorrow night. Nazon getting a chance down the middle behind Beavon. I think we could see Ponticelli for the first time this season too. Burge Grimmer Davies Willis Stokes Kelly Doyle Vincenti Nazon Jones Beavon I think we'll win this and hopefully keep...

Duckens Nazon to start and the fans rejoice as the 'The Duck', 'The Duke'* or 'Nazonator' finally gets his chance... only for him to be terrible and the fans abandon him. * kind of worrying that Nazon shares nicknames with 'Il Duce' (The Duke) Mussolini... haha

That was a season that was comparatively very low scoring. How many season will the top scoring teams are on 69 goals? Would have been 6-7th last season (in that category). If you go into games knowing you won't concede more than 1 goal, you don't need to be free flowing. We literally scored...
