I would give 352 another go. Robins has admitted didn't send them out to attack, I am sure Tuesday will be different.

Let's get a much needed win under four belt

First of 4 massive games in march.

Not really sure what Dasilva is . Seems to hang around halfway on the touchline passing it sideways or backwards. Sort of offers fuck all

I know this probably sounds bizarre (and maybe it is), but the first name on the team sheet for me, given the lack of fight shown in the last two league matches is Liam Kelly. Second would be Palmer.
I would bring Bidwell and Collins back in for Dasilva and Wilson. If we play a back 3, I would have Latibeudiere as RCB, with Kitching in the middle and Binks LCB. If a back 4, then Thomas and Kitching.

I agree. Kelly is no sheaf but he is the calming influence we need when being pressed which we have lacked

8 games since they last got a point lets not spoil that record.Think we were the last side beaten by them.
Surely lightning can't strike twice can it?

Who knows. It could. Anything other than 3 points surely extinguishes any remaining hopes of a playoff push though I think most are resigned to the notion that the ship has sailed.

Pretty pathetic if true without knowing what was said. Must have been a hell of an argument to make it worth sabotaging our season playing inferior players.

Has any other EFL/PL club changed their keeper for tactical reasons twice this season?

How do you know its pathetic without knowing what was said, or if it even happened?

If, and at this point it's a big if, Collins has been dropped for having an argument with Robins what the fuck were they arguing about? We were at the top of the form table, apparently everyone thinks Collins is the greatest keeper we've had in years, there defiantly has to be more to that story, again if its true.

It’s all a bit weird though, especially as Collins is by far the better ‘keeper. We’ve also paid £4m for a CB who’s now just sitting on the bench.

It is indeed but I tend to just assume there's things we don't know rather than Robins has lost his mind and has dumped Collins out of the team for no reason

Might be some truth in this as i suspect Robins got irritated by Collins distribution, especially at Plymouth and perhaps told him so. Kitching isnt really in a position to question the manager, id say only Mcfadzean Kelly Allen Godden and Bidwell had that luxury.
Likely a storm in a tea cup. I think Wilson will get the nod on Tuesday but i also feel any more mistakes by him will see him not only benched for the rest of the season but also out the club in the summer. I am certain the club will try and get a top class experienced keeper.

Yeah, course it's going round. That's what happens, especially these days. Something gets said on social media and it spreads like wildfire and so many people then believe it.

I wouldn't take any credence from this at all.

If two new players are giving lip to the manager frankly they can both fuck off in the summer and we’ll get someone with the right attitude in. You don’t win va Robins here.

It’s still superior to Wilson’s distribution which has always been dreadful. I don’t think any of those players are/were in a position to question the manager either.

I agree - if Ismael is still at Watford. If not they’ll get a massive bounce and be unplayable

Being fair he couldn’t do much with the two shots, but certainly the first felt he was flat footed regardless. Other than that he had nothing to do.

Yeah, I think a few are bemoaning the fact he don't dive at all for the first one, but there was no way he was ever stopping that shot. No-one would.

Yeah I did see the goal and he could do nothing. It seems we could have got a point with all the shots we had. I haven’t read the match thread but I assume there was some melt-down and blame happening.

i think we should win this tomorrow and get back to within 3/4 points of 6th.

My only real criticism of MR is that he sometimes plays to not lose rather than to win. Sometimes it works, like against Leeds, but Ipswich springs to mind as one where we just gave too much respect. We're a pretty good team, so I just wish he'd attack the game a bit more and let the opposition worry about us. Against Rotherham I expect us to go for it, but against the 'bigger' teams I think we sometimes roll over and let our belly get tickled.

Don't be "resigned" just yet .Every team has 30 points to play for and top and bottom both being tight, you will see many strange results(leicester1 qpr2) between now and the end of the season.

@shmmeee has persuaded me that O'Hare could work on the right, so...

Collins
MvE
Thomas
Kitching
Bidwell
Eccles
Torp
Palmer
O'Hare
Simms
Wright

please. If we can avoid playing 3 x CBs in a winnable home game, let's avoid it.

If fit surely Collins Kitching & Bidwell start on merit.
I've had enough of JDS unfortunately. I've been trying to find positives and give him the benefit of the doubt but he just isn't at Championship level in my opinion. Wilson is more likely to make a terrible mistake than Collins and Kitching is the best CB we have at the club. COH starts every game too as far as I'm concerned. I've seen the posts regarding letting him rot on the bench but who's to say that the player picked to start ahead of him won't be on their way at the end of the season ?
Pick the best 11 fit and available players and stick to it.

Ignoring the bullshit at the bottom, I'm staggered at the criticism of Collins by some on here. As mentioned in this tweet, he's having a wonderful season.
