Tough task without Eccles and Sunderland at the top on merit, although they have not been so good the last couple of games.
Anything out of the game for us would be an absolute shock.

Yup.

Fear the worst, hope for the best.

Could get a right drubbing. Depends what players actually turn up for the game and if they decide to play to the level they are capable of.

Do think we will really miss Eccles.

Oh right we have a game at The Stadium of Shite don't we. Difficult to see us getting anything but it is Blunderland so you never know.

Fear for us tomorrow - reminds me of when we had Richard Shaw in temporary charge and got panned away at Shrewsbury

Better than Wilson and shouldn't have been frozen out imo.

Wasn't there someone who posted that a player had his haircut and the feeling in the club was Brad was the best out of the three.

Might need to find that post

Collins has really been the best of the 3 keepers. As with Kitching it’s clearly the manager not playing them as there’s friction rather than logic.

Sheaf I gather also has had some run in with Robins as well.

I don't know why Tavares has been frozen out, not even coming on as sub, I know he isnt first choice or probably championship level but he did ok coming on as sub v Wolves and Man Utd, in fact he did more than ok

Perhaps Sheaf should be as verbal on the pitch, as he is off it then.

Dovin has been a poor signing so far, it just goes to show the blinkers have been on for some, or they just don't want Wilson back in goal. The 'it wasn't his fault the ball went in the net' for every single goal has got very boring considering how many there have been.

As for Sheaf having arguments with Robins, who is surprised. The bloke is obviously a massive problem, and allocating him as captain was a dreadful decision which has backfired and ultimately contributed towards Robins losing his job.

Dovin is a young keeper who has been mediocre, if I was going to rotate him with anyone it would be Collins, although I'd rather stick with a settled keeper.
Either way Wilson shouldn't be anywhere near the team and every time he's come back in either this season or last its achieved absolutely nothing.

I know you have a bee in your bonnet about Wilson, and I get it, but the reality is that Dovin has been shite considering what we paid for him. He's still young and can develop absolutely, but that doesn't change what we've seen so far - which is pretty rubbish.

Its not a random bee in my bonnet though, he's just a rubbish keeper so i don't want him anywhere near my football team. I'm sure someone could dig out those charts people like to get up that show performance but he was certainly worse than Collins last season by a fair bit and the last time I saw a comparison for this season he was worse than Dovin too.

Like I said, that's fine. People just use it to let Dovin off the hook a bit though. He's been a poor signing so far and there would be a lot more focus on him if we didn't have another keeper people like to have a go at.

This is probably true to some extent tbh, but putting in the clown in isn't the answer to any of it.

Thinking about it, probably none of these young players have ever had the trauma of having a manager sacked from under them, maybe only bidders, so it could really fuck with their heads, just like it has with us!!
