Fair to say Robins didn't agree with the red card.....

Nice to finally have a reasonably strong squad and this is why you need it. Its not the roughest 3 fixtures either.

Listening to Robin's it won't stand, let's see what the relevant authority thinks.

One thing Binks has is the ability to hit a crossfield ball to Tastu/van Ewijk which I think could be useful.

What games does he miss? Swansea Boro and Oxford?

I dunno that’s why I asked. Do suspensions not count for the cup then?

First half i thought we were really good , second half a combination of Godden up top and fatigue meant we tired badly and were lucky at times

Was it retaliation or self defence? If he was getting head butted and all he did was push him away there is no chance of the red card standing.

Robins response to the Kitching red is outstanding. First time I've heard him properly have a pop at the ref/officials. It's a disgrace and we should kick off.

Doesn't look like either in the video that you can see tbh.

Kitching obviously said something to wind him up, there was a definite reaction to something said but there was minimal response from him (Liam).

I see what you are saying Robbie - one thing is for sure - if we add a top class midfield general in Jan - we’re going to be very competitive.

It was hardly self defence was it. Self defence against what?

They've just alluded to it on the phone in that ref may have produced it with the understanding that it will potentially be overturned.

About right.

All league and cup games fall under the FA so bans and whatnot apply across the board.

Ground out another three points. Great first half, not the best second but another clean sheet ! Simms should’ve been on earlier as the ball just wasn’t sticking second half. Sakamoto… what a player ! Absolute belting second

Robins seems quite sure that Kitching did nothing wrong. He's watched it back and has probably seen a much better replay than the one we have seen on twitter.

Hopefully it will be rescinded, but we don't generally have good luck with that type of thing.

Robins said the ref hadn't really seen it.

Well looking at the video the ref was so slow to react and control the situation, Kitching had been hit 3 times before the ref did anything, so the ref should also be disciplined for lack of control

Could really see the incident properly on the tv, from what I could see it seemed their player was the one who was aggressive towards Kitching who looked like was trying to move away. The decision can be appealed

Slow to react? The ref ran in the wrong direction at first.

The development of Eccles has been really good, he's got better and better.

As decent as Lati has been in midfield and I can see him being utilized there again when we're looking to be solid, I don't think it's something I want to see too often.
Click to expand...
Thought Eccles played well with a couple of defence splitting passes just over hit. Absolutely shagged out on 80 mins and should have been subbed but I guess MR didn't think we ha anyone better on the bench.

My evaluation of that is that we played well, we had a decent first half. Probably knocked it about the best we have all season (without creating a great deal), tho the oppo weren't really up to much.

Second half we really were a bit sloppy culminating in the maddest misses from point blank range I've seen for a while, the one that got spooned to the left was criminal.

We regained composure and probably saw the (open play) goal of the season from Sakamoto. Decent play and the finish was a treat. They didn't really have a sniff after that mental goal mouth scramble.

We seem to be getting the rub of the green all of a sudden, long may it continue.

The ref didn’t see it according to CWR. So reading his mind seems pretty reasonable.

I’m enjoying the partnerships developing on the pitch. Saka, MVE and O’Hare, Wright.

I’d like to see JDS starting games to add to our technical quality with Bids closing out games.

The perfect situation is the new top class midfielder in the Jan window being able to bring O’Hare into the game more and the best out of Simms. Going to be very difficult to be a starter in midfield after the Jan window - strength in depth.

Palmer looks like a real player of late - could be big for us this season.
