    Left back needed

    I haven't heard mention of this position for January signing. Bidwell has been excellent in a back 4 but his contract is up at the end of the season. If he signs a new contract, then great. Dasilva is not good enough as a left back imo. He has done a decent job coming on further forward, like...

    Where is Jamie Allen?

    I haven't noticed him in any pre-season photos, not even in those who are not in full training. Anyone know if he is injured, ill or just been given extra time off?

    Palmer is not O'Hare!

    I wish people wouldn't expect Palmer to play like O'Hare. They may play in a similar position but they are completely different players. Palmer doesn't have the stamina and intensity like O'Hare, but who has? I cannot think of another Championship player who plays like O'Hare. However, when...

    Captain

    I understand why Robins gave the captaincy to Jamie Allen as he works his socks off for the team. However, I think he has had 3 of his worst performances in the last 4 games. We have also witnessed collapses and disorganisation in that time. We need someone more vocal. There is definitely a lack...

    Josh Eccles injury

    Out for 8 weeks. Such a shame for him and for the team. He had settled really well into an unfamiliar position and arguably would rival Kane and Dabo there, as well as provide cover in midfield. He has so much potential. I just hope his injuries don't jeopardize his chances.

    Ratings v Saints

    Moore 6 (good early save. Distribution wasn't his usual standard) Eccles 8 (will do well to hang on to him. He has quality and a cool demeanor. Picked out Maatsen really well for his best chance) Bidwell 7 (best game for us yet. Defended well) Hyam 9 motm (he was outstanding. Some great headers...

    Blackpool Tuesday

    There will be some tired and injured bodies ahead of Tuesday's match. Chance for a few fringe players. Wouldn't be surprised if Howley starts and maybe Tavares. Not sure what our other options would be with latter.

    Ben Wilson

    In a recent interview Arsenal keeper Ramsdale was glowing in his appreciation of Simon Moore as his previous understudy. I think Ben Wilson has to come into that bracket, maybe not as an older advisor, but whether starting or on the bench he is fully engaged and enthusiastic. He seems to be an...

    The Pro Liam Kelly

    Nothing new about Liam Kelly's professionalism as been shown in many ways including his attitude when turning out for the U23s. When he came on today Fadz offered him the armband. Rather than break momentum he didn't take it. Small detail but potentially indirectly match winning.

    Finding the invisible man

    If anyone knows the whereabouts of the Invisible Man, please can you ask him if he can put a pen into the hands of Hamer, O'Hare, Hyam, and Allen and sign their new contracts?

    The little things

    I have just watched the Reading game again on iPlayer. Simon Moore thinks Cov have a goal kick after 5 minutes or so of injury time. Most teams at that stage would probably settle on defending the corner to take a point. However Maatsen quickly kicks the ball to the player at the corner flag...

    New shirt = more free-kicks?

    Has anyone noticed how stretchy the new home shirt is? There is a photo of Bong grabbing hold of O'Hare's shirt and it stretching outwards a fair distance. I am wondering if this will be an advantage as it will be more obvious to referees? Maybe we might get more penalties too?! Perhaps just...

    Brandon Mason

    As has been alluded to in previous threads something must have happened behind the scenes. As has also been mentioned he is a better left back than wingback. However, given our predicament of having just one unproven and possibly ill / injured LWB (Josh Reid), surely we need to keep Brandon...

    A Squad of 'Something to Prove'

    Maybe this can be said about every squad but it really stands out this year that there are so many of the squad with something to prove. Simon Moore has played second fiddle to some top keepers. Can he be a number 1? Can Dabo, Rose, Kelly, Jones and Godden overcome their injury troubles? Can...

    McCallum to QPR

    Disappointed that we couldn't get him again if available on loan to the Championship

    Who is missing?

    From the pre-season training pictures I haven't spotted Godden, Kelly, Dacosta, Jobello and Kastaneer. The first two will be injury recovery related. I assume the last two are those Robins referred to regarding the need to find other clubs? What about Dacosta? Not sure if I noticed Josh Reid either?
