Family derby for me so regardless of the bigger picture, we need to win so I can give it the biggun in the whatsapp group. Don't think they've got over Wilson's goal yet. They haven't had a great start to the season and shipped 20 goals in 9 games so I'll go for a home win. 2-1 City. Simms, Allen.

Can't see him changing the team and don't expect him to.

Back to back wins would be massive formthis team right now. And I expect us to get spanked by Norwich so needed before the break too.

I'd say their performance levels when they have played is the reason why they haven't played more.

Id say you can’t judge a player if you never give him a full game. If we think Wright and Simms are worth what we’ve paid for them you’ve got to give them time together.

Most definitely, as long as no new injures.

Another win here and things would look quite rosy again with the returns of Sheaf, MVE, O'Hare and Palmer to come.

I think we’ve got to take the training wheels off a bit and if we’ve bought Kitching and Wright for lots of money we must be planning to play them eventually as first choice, surely?

Only if and when they are better than what we have. No sign of that so far as far as I am concerned.

I think you’ve got to play some players into form a bit. I’ll judge them when they’ve played for an extended period. And I think when the injuries come back is a good time for a bit of a reset.

Allen would be much better than Eccles next to Sheaf. Saturday showed us how much we have missed him.

He was so effective cos of his movement at AM, not sure if he’d do as well at CM. I thought second half we started to see a bit more of what Eccles can do progressively. The guy was top scorer for the U23s, he must have more in his locker.

Edit: that said, obviously I’d be looking to replace him with a new signing in Jan asap.

I suspect there's a lot of work going in to Wright up at Ryton, he'll get the start when Robins is happy with what he sees in training.

Yes absolutely.

Long term I’m sure the plan is for Wright to play over Godden and Kitching to play over Fadz, but right now the incumbents deserve their shirt and the new guys need to earn the right to play, regardless of price tags.

It should be the same starting lineup as QPR. Need to take advantage of Blackburn’s poor form with a win. 4 points from these two home games would be a very good return.

Robins is usually very loyal to a starting XI that wins the previous game.

I question why you think we will "get spanked by Norwich"? Is it because of their away record this season . I so keep in mind they lost 6-2 in their last one or because our recent record against them .We have won more head to head games .

Why obviously? He’s done ok so far this season (btw do you mean Eccles or Allen?)

Completely agree, nothing against Godden but does he really need to play every minute of every game? Just 15 mins of Simms and Wright together would be good to see, even if it’s to give Godden a rest, we’ve got 3 games in 1 week, don’t see why Godden has to play every minute tbh.

Got to remember that the Godden love-squad will fight to the death to get him in the team, if there’s any minuscule ounce of a reason to play him they’ll be up for the fight

Always been mystified by the 'earn the right to play' statement. How does that work in reality? I get training hard and showing your ready, but in reality if the team keeps winning and the manager is loyal to winning sides (which most are) it's hard to earn the right while sat on the bench and what your really waiting for is a bad result or an injury or suspension

Then you have to earn it in training and in your sub appearances. You're right its not easy, but rightly so!

Marrakesh fabulous, Tarazhout not so much. Endless hassle. Haven't been since the early 80s however so may be ok now. Stayed in a fabulous place owned by two British gay guys. They took credit cards there in Morocco when they said a what in Lincolnshire? so hopefully a stream for you.
