Not playing particularly well but still picking up points way from CBS. Robins will be happy I’m sure with a win and draw this week. Looking forward now to league and cup games at home where hopefully push on in terms of performance and results.

Another week closer to sheaf return

Great win and I'm glad Simms got the goal. His celebration to the crowd to get them going (more Bidders than MvE
). Good to see.
Definitely going to need Torp against Preston. Then give him the day off Vs Maidstone.

Fingers crossed Saka can get over what he has then since we've more or less got a full week before Preston. We should be playing a full strength side (barring injuries).

He's far superior to Binks imo and looks a future Prem centre back.

Opinions and all but I think he’d get torn apart in the Prem. Let’s hope we find out.

Too rash for me and not great when he’s being run at. Reminds me of Hyam. Gives his full back absolute crap to work with too.
Click to expand...
For me, he's massive, athletic, aggressive, incredibly composed on the ball for a centre back and he's just turned 23 I think? He's only going to get better and better. He's not even comparable to Hyam, I think he'd pull Hyams arms off with his bare hands.

Isn't that the standard response from every team we play? We clearly have all the EFL refs on our payroll.

In the making, not now. I think all our players would get pulled to pieces in the Prem atm but there's certainly a handful I think would grow into it and he's one of them.

Dunno why they were so irate with the ref throughout. He was just your bog standard not great, but not awful championship ref. Seen far far worse.

6 changes, squad rotation, 4 points in the week with players getting breaks with all these games, still in 6th place and competing, even if we’re not as fluid as we were some weeks ago, all about 3 points and getting through this next 6-8 games which will make and define the run in.

Its a risk from Robins but we have to trust him and hopefully lots of energy and fit players with the run in.

considering no sheaf, no allen and o hare back from a season out along with suspensions to sheaf and the extra cup games, I’m happy, as we should all be right now

time for beers and a curry

He also took 3 good clean catches and cleared the danger each time. Nothing spectacular and I'd have been disappointed if he'd dropped any, but it's the one attribute he has over Collins imo and I wish he'd come out and claim more often.
Click to expand...

This is the point. He didn't need to make any award winning saves. But he was solid, did the important things right and the defence had confidence in him. In the end, Stoke didn't have any clear cut chances and we won. Wilson was unlucky in a few instances at the start of the season and to most on here, he's now utterly crap. Collins has had similar games but hasn't been given the same treatment.

But some members only look at the stats. Shmmeee says 1 shot on target means he did nothing else all game. Haven't read the whole thread but bet someone has said Simms only scored 1 goal so he contributed little.

This forum loves to hate some players.

He sent off the player who was booked first today for them, I’m going on the noise of the fans and trying to explain why the angst as today probably didn’t warrant the extent of the noise from his display, didn’t listen to any ramblings of their commentary

Not a great performance and a very scrappy win but 7 points in a week with that level of rotation is a great effort.

might not like all theses changes we make but got to admit robins is brilliant at it, just knows what players to slot in and where and we keep getting results, keep in or around the play offs with 5 or 6 games to go then hopefully we’ll be able to go full strength for the run In with everyone back fit , we’re lucky we’ve got a brilliant manager

In all seriousness he’s our best RCB, I just think he’s raw and blows hot and cold. I think Esoterica’s point about Kitching is fair, and he’ll probably calm down with experience. I just think we could do better and he’s behind Binks and Kitching in terms of quality, especially on the ball.
Click to expand...

I don't think both cb's need to be ball playing tbf.

He was great today, and he is good at getting his body in the way of things, and in the air. He makes mistakes, but I think he's a great signing, with big potential to develop for us.

A thought on Tavares. Didn't see much of him from an attacking sense apart from a decent cross. However, I liked the way he kept the width and felt he did a good defensive job, good pressing and recovery runs. Played a part in the clean sheet. Better in that regard than Wright and Palmer.

We’ve got a lot of young players who might not be Prem quality right now, but will be in 1-2 seasons.

If we get promoted we’ll end up signing players in positions who are definitely Prem calibre.

Trust the process.

Some people on here love to target players regardless of how they play. Godden, Wilson, JDS, Simms. Never do anything right for forumites.

Not a criticism but Collins is a far better all round keeper than Wilson.

Didn’t deserve to lose but think a draw would have been a fair result. That was probably our poorest performance of the season.
