With Eccles doing pre-match - suggests he starts.
Got a horrible feeling he might "rest" Torp (he's been literally thrown straight in - Robins said he wasn't fit when he signed)
Same with Van Ewick - will pull an OHare and say he's fatigued.
Also got a feeling he'll magic Kelly into the starting 11 due to the above.
Expect to see Latibeaudiere at fullback/Eccles and Kelly in the middle based on Saddles teaser!

Yeah sure, if you're not interested in getting into the play-offs.

As for Torp, you're not going to get fit by not playing.

Young professional footballers can't play 4 games in 2 weeks, shock horror.

I mean it’s science innit

from the way they described O’Hares “fatigue” I’m guessing they’re using some kind of testing to determine it, not just Robin’s opinion.

Really, they’re monitoring the work they do? That’s amazing. I’d always assumed Robins guessed.

Not quite true though. He may be a due a rest tbf to protect him and give him time to recover to go on a run of games again

Biggest worry here is that means Godden starts.

Rose and/or McNally will know more than anyone that they are in for a quiet afternoon.

I like Godden, but he’s off form and not contributing enough.

I think the coaching team have improved Binks however given MR currently seems to play Kitching consistently over Binks, you are either aware of a non footballing reason MR does this or know more about football than the manager who sees them in training nearly every day?
Click to expand...

In fairness to Binks he hasn't had that run of games to really establish himself. It took Kitching about 3 games to start really looking good.

I think, as another poster said, Robins defaults to Thomas and Kitching because they have been doing well but also - they are our players. He wants to build a solid defence. But I think Binks given a run could prove to be as good as Kitching. I still think Kitching can be a bit sparky.

McNally and Rose will be licking their lips at the prospect of playing Godden.

I think they wait until the day before and Robins says “ who’s tired” and sees how many hands go up

Yes it was, showing our age here. I can remember he had a header to score against sheff u in the 1/4 it skewed off and the bloke behind me shouting 50p head. They equalised at the death and beat us on pens still not over that….

Give it a rest with the Godden shite FFS. He got himself into two good positions to score the other night, that's half the battle. It was the same early season where he missed the chances at Leicester but then went on a run.

It's so tedious that there has to be some scapegoat, especially with a very honest player like him.

He’ll simply be pissed off that despite having spent a huge amount we’re still struggling for squad depth in basically every position except centre back and left back.
