Good. Lull them into a sense of false security.

Interesting question that. I think Gyo and Hamer would tear it a new one, but the Wilson clones would get on well afterwards.How would you feel with last seasons side coming up against us this season?
Bollocks?
Do you actually watch our games?
WBA 15 shots no goals
Rotherham 23 shots no goals
Bristol 12 shots no goals
Norwich 21 shots no goals (it was an oggy not from our shot)
Thats 71 shots with no goals. Hardly not shooting in games are we.
Doesn’t matter, all that matters is the score line

we’ve spend millions upon millions and we’re completely and utterly toothless
We are, although it's worth noting that the defence was pretty shaky up until January and us signing McNally last year. Doyle and Panzo were as erratic, if not more, as Bobby Thomas is now. That's not saying he's at the level of Doyle, but does show the problem of starting with a new defence each season - time to learn the system and drills etc.Gyokeres had already had a season scoring goals. If you take hamer and Gyokeres goals out from last season there’s a huge void and I personally can’t see where the goals will come
We are also conceding goals far more
It’s not meaningless though is it. A team could have 40 shots but all come from 35 yards out.
with xG it assigns the likelyhood of scoring - take Bristol City for example. We had something like 12 shots, we’re said to have dominated. Whilst we dominated possession we had 1 shot on target.
What you mean @Evo1883The stat is very relevant to our current position

Aren’t there different sources though and they don’t give the same result?
That surprises me tbf, but you are right - certainly didn't feel like it though as Doyle and Panzo weren't inspiring confidence!We had 12 clean sheets from the end of September to the end of December
It wasn't, we had a really good defensive run up to the world cupWe are, although it's worth noting that the defence was pretty shaky up until January and us signing McNally last year.

I actually thought he looked quite sharp last night tbf, actually looked a footballer. He was there to have the chance which is the making of a striker.That haji wright chance last night was unreal

Andy Cole used to miss plenty of chances! If he does that he'll get on a run of scoring at some point.
He has a point. Brian Clough may also have commented if Peter Taylor was not near him.On sky they were on about Robins being upset about the new rule in the technical area as Viveash is the voice.
Not one of the new centre backs so far looks any better than RoseRose played in 9 of those games

Yeah agreed evo he has to take thatWell we can argue against the Style of play all day every day , fact is we've created enough good chances to be in and around the playoffs , and we don't give too many good chances away defensively either ..
The players need to stop letting the manager down , end of story
That haji wright chance last night was unreal
Yeah agreed evo he has to take that
if you create chances but don’t score and give away silly soft goals it has all the makings of a team that’s going to be in the lower echelons of the division
My problem with the miss is the way he chose to shoot ..weird thought process
This is what's doing my f*cking head in. We didn't buy these players to chase promotion this season. We've kick started the building of a squad we can keep together for years and challenge consistently.Well the reinvestment is a long term thing , 4 years to get a return on these players not 14 games
We didn’t buy them to get relegated eitherThis is what's doing my f*cking head in. We didn't buy these players to chase promotion this season. We've kick started the building of a squad we can keep together for years and challenge consistently.
Exactly. No one thought last season's squad was capable of doing what it did. MR making tweaks to the way we played and two players stepping up got us there. Bring on Stoke - reckon we'll pump 'em and have a run from them until after Xmas.I think it's still too early write off the team ffs
Didn't realise you get relegated in October.We didn’t buy them to get relegated either
Innit. Painful stuff.oh its so boringgg mate
Something like this and just telling the players to take a gamble on a progressive ball occasionally. We barely hit Wright with a ball all night last night. He will cause issues with his height and speed even if he is rusty and lacking confidence.I would tell Wright and the back 3 - you have 5 games together, I am not going to change you - Prove me right
I would play a midfield of
Sheaf and Allen as the holders and Tats and COH as the top of the box (Allen is more progressive than Eccles even in the defensive role, and we will create more)
I would drop Jay De silva for Bidwell
My problem with the miss is the way he chose to shoot ..weird thought process
I wouldn't expect him to know many of us fans to be honest.To be fair to robins should have more trust in what he’s done for us over six years but performance levels are really poor
whilst I fully appreciated the concept of a transitional season, this last week has raised concerns the problems could be slightly worse than envisaged
for me robins has to get team selection bang on, which means Lati binks and bidwell in, and Callum if he can start
Think Allen and o hare should be the 2 behind a striker, I don’t think robins knows our best team let alone us fans
