Or Robins knew they would be ahite in front of goal as they were but wanted a GK that would be in charge of his area and catch every ball that came near him.

Robins is a master tactician. Doesn't always pay off as he can't control what happens on the pitch but he picks sides that many don't agree with yet we still win. Look at the shite he got us promoted from League 2 with.

Collins v Plymouth. He had a habit of not adapting to the players on the pitch. Long punts to the left hoping JDS would win an aerial duel was simply bonkers for example.

Wilson kept a clean sheet so I see him starting against Preston.

I wonder who Robins picks for the cup now?

How do you know because Mark Robins doesn't know, yet

But what he did say at the end of the interview, he's giving the players 3 days off to recover, except those players who are injured.

I'll say it again, Stoke is one of the worst away game in the football league for me. Can't think of many worse. Must be what away fans experience at the CBS

I’ve quite enjoyed it last 2 seasons, not great for pubs though. I’ve drove both times and been in and out fast and only an hours drive. If you park at the truck stop you can walk up the canal and there is a barge selling beer and food, Stoke fans there been sound too.

We have no control over the game. If they can get a shot on target, we could lose this.

Keep hold of the ball, in the last 10 minutes have we played more than 5 passes in succession?

Had a part to play in the goal but besides that I think that was Wright’s worst game for us, including his pants performances early in the season. Didn’t think O’Hare was particularly at it today, and Tavares looked completely lost - shock.

Bloody hard work holding on to the win but the best part is Simms won it for us, stick that up your jumper.

Why do tou think I always say trust Robins

He will leave one day. I just hope it isn't for several years yet.

What would piss me off the most would be if we got promotion to the Prem then had a bad start and King decides to go for an experienced Prem manager. I would be happy to keep him to get us back up again.

It's strange because Robins has gone from having zero budget to spending £20m in 6 months.

Who decided to spend a lot of money on very few players instead of spreading it out a little.
Click to expand...

We needed a couple of strikers and even half decent ones don't come cheap. Simms and Wright took up a big chunk of the budget.

I think we have done well in the transfer market and we will get a few more in over the summer.

Care to comment?

I don't think that's overly negative. We didn't have any control over the game and Stoke ended up having more shots.

I know most won't agree but our defence did well. They hugged and puffed yet didn't get any clear cut chances.

Was a little different though as that was the ownership change in the summer with the Americans wanting a big name over the guy doing a good job.

I think they’d have sacked Eustace for Rooney even if they were top at the time.

It's weird how these teams at the bottom of the table have squads of 30 players! Sheffield wednesday were similar. Maybe that's the problem.

Well thankfully Stoke are a one dimensional team & had only a few accurate crosses into the box that Rosey ( bless him ) put over the bar .
We were carrying Tavares , who won’t be around after this season ….. loan is expected & a disappointing shift from Wright , who left the pitch celebration early , possibly due to a little embarrassment .
An easier fixture than expected, made to look hard, but were still in that 6th position

One other thing Mark Robins said in the after match interview, he wants to get into the quarter- finals.

Probably one of the reasons why he's been resting players.

If it is a Calf Strain, it will take more than 2 weeks.

Battled hard today, thought Stoke were fairly decent, they had two absolute clear headers from corners which was a let off. Simms ran himself into the ground, fair play to him, Wright knew he had a poor game but at least clapped the fans as he went off on his own. 50mins to get away and poured down on the way home, happy with that though.

He pulled up just after he took 2 corners in succession and it appeared that he had pulled something. It looked like he asked to go off, spoke to Robins and then carried on for 5-10 mins up to half time. It was pretty obvious he wouldn’t be coming out for the second half.
