Hats off again Mark, you look to have made us even better, even when we thought you couldn’t take us any higher. We are now playing the football we want to in this league. Robins and this club really do fit like hand in glove.
Oh dear. He needs to go and see a GP sharpish then. That doesn't sound right at all.In unrelated news Steve Evans, 2 yellows and a red so far this season
Genuinely don’t think he’d be looking to leave if it was for another team in this division.If we finish comfortably mid-table this season I'll be worried about Robins getting poached. Truly sensational job he's done here.
Harbinger of doom checking in.
See I've always been pro Robins, but steady on about us having aglorious season. We've played a Forest team we should have beaten twice last season, a promoted side, and a Barnsley side that really didn't look all that... and we lost anyway. These are the kinds of teams you want to start against. If we hold our own against the likes of West Brom, even if we lose, then yes get excited.

We have won games without Kelly! Which is a big step forwardstop with your wisdom, Northern!
I agree to a degree with what's being said. But a season is longer than 3 games. Yes, he's got us from League2 pretty well, but he's not done it alone. And there's still plenty of games to lose yetI won't be calling a taxi for him mind!
just hope his ' sky blue blood' doesn't change colour anytime soon
It’s funny how you use Forest of last season as an example but judge Barnsley on last Saturday and not the team that got to the play offs last season.Harbinger of doom checking in.

Well Forest had a worse build-up than us, less signings, more Covid, so have arguably gone backwards from last season. If they'd signed some superstars, then they'd have gone forwards.It’s funny how you use Forest of last season as an example but judge Barnsley on last Saturday and not the team that got to the play offs last season.
To be honest I’d be a little disappointed if we only finish half way.If we finish comfortably mid-table this season I'll be worried about Robins getting poached. Truly sensational job he's done here.
What are your expectations exactly?!To be honest I’d be a little disappointed if we only finish half way.

Barnsley have lost their manager, been destabilised, and gone backwards from last season, arguably. Plus, we lost to Barnsley! So if you're looking for progress, losing to them is hardly showing it.
The thing is, the games against Forest and Blackpool are the kind of games we *should* be winning if we want to avoid relegation. Barnsley? Yeah, I'll say that ultimately it's a good display, but they're also not a team to be feared particularly, and we had plenty of good displays early last season (Bristol City, opening day, for one!) where we played well but had nothing to show for it.I get what you are saying but against Barnsley we deserved to win. Sometimes you don't get what you deserve in football. Fans can get carried away with wins and fans can beat themselves up over defeats. You have to balance them off against the performance.
I felt we started poorly against Forest but improved as the game went on a deserved the late victory for just sticking at it.
Barnsley we played off the park and apart from the goal did nothing and 8 yellow cards speaks volumes.
Again last night put in a grest shift and performance although rode our luck at times.
You can only play what is in front of you. Yes we need to take our chances better and we can still tighten up defensively.
So a good start and a couple of players are due back. We tend to grow into the season. So I am feeling quietly confident we can be pretty competitive this season home and away.
Robins out.
Jackett in.
Moore - useless!

It would. Frankly, similar to last season would be perfectly OK. The players have more experience at this level, but teams also know about us, and we don't have the momentum from a promotion season.I would love us to have a top 10 finish this season .
By that I'm basically saying I'd love it if we finished 10th
That would be a tremendous season

If we got a season where Sheaf developed more, Eccles established himself, Rose and Hyam showed they could step up to this level, Jones stayed fit all the way through it, Walker got a run and some goals... that'd be progress.
