When I compare those 2 teams, today feels like a non league team playing a PL giant in the FA Cup 3rd round.

It's pretty obvious to work out how we're lining up.

I've seen many moans about the club over the years but annoyance at what order they list the starting lineup has to be one of the most petty!

Good to see Walker get a start. Thought he looked pretty good against forest.

Also I think this is definitely Robins' preferred back three.

I'm still struggling to comprehend how their goalkeeper wasn't even penalised for ploughing through him on Tuesday. Hope he still goes in for those situations regardless

I'm not sure it does. I know asthma is pretty common but he needs time to adjust and get his fitness back. There are varying degrees and we don't know how bad it was. I'm not sure what the lad has done to deserve everyone getting on his back and writing him off without really knowing anything about him.

That said, I'm excited to see Bapaga get a chance when the time is right. He looks an exciting prospect.

It's not meant to be working. Club must be despairing at all the revenue they are losing. I chose to pay the other night even though I didn't have to, but I can see why people don't.

It wants a payment from me today. No problem.

I doubt he'll make more than 5 appearances for us, if that.

That Watford side and the bench is crazy. They’re a big side and we have to be careful we’re not bullied off the ball.

I saw Hilnser play 2 pre season friendlies and he looked way out his depth. That combined with the level he's joined us from you'd have to think he's going to struggle to step up to Championship level. Obviously if he gets his chance i'll be willing him to do well but really can't see him becoming a starter

It's quite random how people dislike a player they haven't seen play for us so much.

It has been our biggest issue all season. Not expecting much from the game but hope we put up a decent performance.

We could go bottom of the table today if all teams below us win and we lose.

It would maybe help if the club would make a little mention of his progress or lack of it perhaps it may bring out some empathy in some of the doubters

This is it, we are drooling over their team sheet.

Giving teams way too much respect has been our problem, we are in the Same league deservedly.

Let's play them 11v 11(try not getting a player sent off).

Optimistic as usual. Let's fucking get amongst them!!!. They deserve no extra respect from us.

He put his hands up and pleaded innocence. That was enough for the ref.

Really hope I don't regret paying the tenner today. After staying up and watching the 49ers getting thumped on Friday I could do with a moral boosting performance from the lads.

Even if it's a 50/50 if you get it wrong and take out the player first, you don't get a let off. At least we don't anyway. Can add it to the list of red cards our oppos should have had this season

Agreed. I can sometimes understand the slow and steady start, but it’s been shown that at this higher level they’ll take advantage of that. High press, hunt in packs and fucking let them know they’re in a game.
