O'Hare has been missing for ages, Allen has been slaughtered by some for being lightweight. Palmer is a miss. When Sheaf gets back, MR will find a way to make it work. Keeping Hamer fit is the key.

Need sheaf ASAP, hopefully just Huddersfield to go
Is Burroughs not predominantly a wide midfield player?
Not sure where he played in youth football but for us and Ross County (and Scotland u21s) he's played pretty much exclusively on the flanks I believe
I think he's just not up to the level, that's what Robins comments suggest anyway. Plus the fact a LB keeps getting played out of position ahead of him.

We’ve got to be playing maguire really and sticking to our normal formation otherwise it really is the most bizarre signing

Allen's volley over the bar was from inside the box. I wouldn't call that exactly a clear cut chance though.
His scuffed shot was definitely a very clear cut chance however and Bidwell's blast over the bar was a great chance too.

Oh and Allen's scuffed shot, that was saved, was in the area too, so not way outside.

I'd keep Burroughs wing back. I prefer Brightons suggestion of moving Doyle into midfield.
It does raise more questions about Dabo that he couldnt get on in his preferred position for even half an hour.

Then again maybe Robins has learnt that lesson now that continually rushing him back from injuries appears to be a false economy

It was a poor performance. Gyokores looked leggy. Did he find a City player with a pass?
I missed first 20 minutes but hardly saw Godden touch the ball? As usual when we play two up front we seem to concede the midfield a create fewer chances than when we play one upfront.
But we got a point away. So move on and go again Saturday. Table hasn't really changed so not a disaster.

Which is just another example of how thin our squad is because if that's the case, and it sounds plausible, surely he shouldn't be on the bench?

It is not unusual for Managers to put half fit experienced players on the bench ahead of untried youngsters.
Even if they dont really intended to use them, it makes the bench and options look stronger. It keeps the oposition Manager guessing about tactical options.
However you are right, it is a symptom of the lack of depth in the squad.

Having thought about it, Burroughs is a big strong lad - I'd play him Saturday. Warnock will be telling them to get stuck into us -all aggression and little subtlety. Rudoni aside, they have little creativity wise. If Godden isn't fit/right/whatever, I'd sooner Walker was given a run up top if we play two there. Maguire? - leave that with MR.

Watch him now be rushed back into the team as well, be shit, be written off even more...
After being left out of the squad v Rotherham. The last paragraph is a bit more promising, but everything up till that is Robins as close to saying he's not good enough without actually saying
Explaining his absence, Robins told CoventryLive: “I have got seven subs and also I am looking for more from him. You have to get to a certain level before you can impact a game, and he knows that. He’s a really good lad and just not been able to get going yet. But hopefully he can do and that’s down to him to get to the level.”
Asked if that’s partly down to the player having missed almost three months of football prior to joining the club, having become a peripheral figure at Deepdale since early November, the manager added: “I think so but ultimately you have got to do it. I have got to see it for it to warrant game time and being involved, and that’s important for anybody.
“He’s a really good player, a great technician and someone who can finish. I just want to see that little bit more from him in terms of letting the handbrake off. I said to him yesterday, when he lets the handbrake off he’s going to be close.”

Jonathan Hogg is more than capable of opening teams up with his range of passing. It is the strikers that seem weak.

Hope that kills you
Probably for the hull game we’re gonna have three key players out with a couple coming back
they all play the same position

Despite being typecast as a bed wetter on here, I am not too pessimistic about the next few weeks. We will need to be creative on Saturday, and I would strongly suggest we start with 3 forwards, but the opposition is as kind as we could ask for and the midfield will reappear one by one in the order it went.

I think you may have been misled in your education. Water is not wet, only things which come into contact with it. This is the great debate of the century.
