Quite a few have Dabo in for Weds....he's not right needs to be benched as McCallum can't play vs Norwich so he is needed then!

I think we need sheaf/Hamer/Kelly and two up top ....Godden and Walker are the front two ideally however if Godden not fit I really really think Baka up front with Walker should be tried.....Baka last chance saloon but he needs to be given a chance in a front two!

How can anybody not see ANY game as a must win? You must love inviting your own pressure.

So if you was Robins and was talking to the players before the game you would say...listen up this is a must win and heap lots of pressure on them...good tactic

Robins has wanted to play a stable team but things have conspired against him - it will come !

I'm 100% certain at this point that every game between now and the end of the season will be referenced as 'must win' by the usual drama queens with the inevitable break-downs, slashing of wrists and calling for taxis if we're not 5 nil up by half time.

Why not? Last match we played two CMs on the flanks and two wing backs at full back

I think we’ll go back to 3-5-2 rightly or wrongly. I think the change to a back 4 was forced with the personnel available.

Except we had Osti on the bench and brought him on, so a back five/three was an option.

Could be wrong but didn’t he have a fixture scheduled for last Wednesday and therefore, Robins had made plans as if he was unavailable. I think he only returned to training on Wednesday anyway and I can’t imagine Robins intended to rip up his plans on 2 days notice.

I think the fact he brought Ostigard on reinforces that the 3-5-2 is his preferred system going forward.

Would you tell them to go out and not worry about winning? Good tactic.

If we’re bottom at Christmas worry, if we are still bottom at Easter then we can panic .

I can imagine him saying go out and win but I don't think the word must is a good idea, you need the players heads up and if they are too thick and stupid to realise about winning then they don't deserve such a lucrative career

I think telling them they CAN win is motivational. Telling them they MUST win IMO would be detrimental because it puts extra mental pressure on them and mistakes creep in with the nerves.

There is also the option of saying they WILL win, but I think that's the preserve of just a few clubs whose quality is far above those of pretty much everyone else, but even then it'd need qualifying with stuff like 'as long as you give 100%' etc or chances are they'd be complacent.

A win here will bring us closer to the pack ahead of us.
But if we do drop into the relegation zone we wanna be as close on points as possible to the rest of the relegation contenders

The million dollar question is, do we build on the point we gained against Blues and play the same system, losing the attacking intent? or do we go back to our favoured formation, and hope we cut out the silly mistakes?

I am afraid this is another bogey fixture! I don't think we took a single point off this lot during our miserable tenure in the Championship last time around. Whilst past performance is no guide to future performance I am told, it does not augur well that three other bogey teams from the past Watford, Bristol City and Nottingham Forest have carried on from where they left off a decade ago. I'm afraid I think it will be 2 nil to them. I really do hope that I am wrong.

Agree with all of the above. Save Dabo for Norwich. Might as well try Baka alongside Walker if Godden isn’t fit. He might surprise us and be confident upfront in a 2

We just don't seem to do well against Welsh teams, but MR has already broken many of our hoodoos.
