Yeah I was all for the wingback system if it helped prevent goals. Unfortunately it hasnt.

You could play 10 at the back. but if a player gives the ball away to the centre forward, to allow him through on goal, you will still concede. That wasn't a formation error, it was an individual error. I hope we find a way to cut those out to give ourselves a chance. Next 2 (possibly 3) games will be tough but hopefully we can get something somewhere. If not we'll pick up in March.

Totally agree doesn’t matter if you play Norwich or Wycombe , if you continue to make the errors we are in the last two games we will get relegated , interesting fadz was put up for pre match interview , does this mean he is playing ?

No you're not although he did seem to try hard when he came on against Norwich.

More the fact Biamou has thrown away his place than anyone else taking it off him.

You've spent at least a fortnight complaining that none of our strikers are good enough anyway... now you want 3 up front...

No you're not, you can see why he didn't feature much for Swansea and why Robins isn't playing him. He wasn't the type of striker we needed.

Before the silly mistakes we were in the game against Norwich. I believe it’ll be the same again tomorrow. Unfortunately our games this season also tell us it’s likely we’ll shoot ourselves in the foot again too.

I’m nervous about a combination of MR’s negative set to and a team lacking confidence, and therefore potentially less likely to try things/be expansive or worse case hide. Better Days mitigated that somewhat by saying morale was fine, so MR’s tactics and selection are pivotal tomorrow.

People want us to be more direct, and I get the idea, but you can’t then have Walker and Gyokeres upfront together (or on their own) as that isn’t their game. It isn’t really Biamou’s either but he’s more suited and is a good link player. It should be Bakayoko’s but for whatever reason it isn’t.

Our defence is slow and it’s being exposed this year. I wonder if he’ll give Pask a go, but I doubt it against such strong opposition.

As always, if we show some positivity and attacking impetus we have more chance of getting something. Sitting deep and hoping for a miracle doesn’t suit us.

Tempted to put Sheaf in, but not sure who for, and, more importantly, as we’ve seen before he needs a few games to warm up and hit form. Straight in against Brentford after nothing for a few games isn’t ideal.

If we are playing in a 352 he will play.

If Kelly is fit and he should be if he’s in the squad he has to play, bloody hell we’ve all been belly aching his absence for the last two months.

You’re 100% right. We were in the Norwich game right up to the goal. Unfortunately that was only 28 minutes

If Kelly is fit he starts. His influence is needed even for 60/70 mins.

Midfield of Kelly, Hamer and James to make things solid in the park.

Watching the Norwich game was the first time this season I started to feel worried about our survival this season. The frustrating thing is it's yet again down to mistakes by our own players. We need to play two up front and Kelly back in the side.

Concerning words from Robins about the dressing room. First really big test of his management now to keep everyone together and grind out some results.

Isnt it a bit risky to start Kelly?

This is probably out issue, players are out for ages and we don't really bring them back properly. They don't go into the U23 for a runabout, just straight in and get injured again.

There’s got to be a game where we spoz a couple of those chances we’ve had right in front of goal.

From memory Osti,Hyam, Max, Fadz and O’Hare have missed absolute sitters.

Surely they’ll be a game where we score goals from a deflection off someone’s arse!!
