Is this game on ifollow on Friday?

I really don't want to see Robins play with 2 strikers again. It didn't work last season, and it hasn't this season. Our great form last year was when Vik played as the lone striker. The only time it worked in his tenure was Biamou & McNulty in the League 2 season. For me Simms & Wright are...

Any news? I know O'Hare's back in training, but haven't seen Fabio. I presume the plan is to get him fit and then out on loan for match sharpness.

Alex Ferguson’s management has definitely influenced Robins. Utd at their best were all about devastating counter attacks at speed. We are at our best playing that way. Also Robins is notoriously strict, and as we have seen takes absolutely no shit. Of all Ferguson’s ex players who moved into...

Surely we cannot play 3-5-2 or 3-4-1-1 now. What with Allen, O'Hare & Palmer out for long periods. Time to switch to 4-4-2 based on the squad we have., perhaps 4-5-1 as well. Wilson Dabo Fadz McNally Bidwell Cuffy Hamer Eccles JWE Godden Vik Burroughs to fight it out with Dabo for...

No reason why we can't get 10-12 points in the next four games. Rotherham (A), Sunderland (H), Preston (A) and Huddersfield (A). That will surely put us in the Top 6. Preston is a bogey ground, so maybe we take a draw there. Even the next 3 after those games are kind (Blackpool, Wigan & Hull).

Liam Kelly seems to be getting a lot of sh*t from our fans this season. Yes, his injury record has been bad over the last 2 years, but in our first season back in The Championship, it was his return to fitness and partnership with Matty James which kept us in the league. Last season he...

Safe to assume that Fabio is clearly in Robin's plans this season, being brought on early yesterday at Sunderland. Good to see, he clearly has something about him. He's raw, no doubt but certainly a player that will make things happen, with his direct style and pace. I presume had Waghorn been...

If no one else goes in or out, are we looking at this? Moore Rose McFadz Hyam Dabo Maartsen Hamer Sheaf O'Hare Waghorn Gyokerres Subs Wilson Drysdale Da Costa J. Burroughs Jones Walker Enobakhare

City have always sold their best players, but which ones hit you the hardest in your time as a supporter? Cyrille Regis - Technically not a transfer. Butcher decided not to offer Cyrille a new deal in May 1991, and he left on a free. He then popped up at Aston Villa, having slimmed down, and...

I think we've seen this season that some of our squad are not up to scratch in terms of Championship quality. We know if we stay up, we can't sell 12 players and buy 12. Some will need to stay, and we hope improve. Sell Allen - His lack of physical presense has really been shown up in this...

I presume Robins would stay, and most would be OK with that. What would our squad look like though? I would imagine we could keep most of them, except Hamer, O'Hare & possibly Walker. Doubt we'd sign Sheaf either. Based on that, and the squad we have this season, this doesn't look a bad X1...

Been a defender of Baka over the last 2 years, and was glad when we kept him on for another year going into the Chanpionship. However, after watching yesterday, not anymore. He did work hard (for the first 25 mins anyway) and made a decent attempt at a header from a cross that was behind him...

One of Sillett's final signings as I recall. I remember he wasn't great early on, but during that awful 91/92 season under Butcher and then Howe he stepped up, and was a nasty, tough center half. Frozen out by Gould unfairly I always thought. What are people's thoughts on him?

Although being out of the Ricoh, and a 'club in crisis', isn't it a little more exciting than those horrible lower mid table seasons in the Championship under Reid / Adams / Dowie / Coleman / Boothroyd? I remember that Hughes/Doyle partnership like the ugliest girl you bedded! Hughes, was...
