I think Robins needs to get the players in for training and go back to basics.
The gameplan of hoof it without looking and hoping that either Biamou wins it or a defender makes a mistake and McNulty can finish it clearly isn't working.
If McNulty is ill then I'd personally look to see what the strengths and weaknesses of all of the "fit" players are. If it ends up with JCH and Biamou up front then we need to have a look and see what will create chances for them.
So far JCH has had absolutely nothing in either game when he has come on and it's been pointless him even getting dirty, there's no point in bringing any striker in if we aren't going to give them any service at all.
The only realistic method I can see is to get it out to the wide areas and whip it in and have Biamou / JCH attacking crosses with a midfielder making a run into the box also to try and pick up any second ball. Reid is going to have to start on the Left but no idea who he can put on the right unless Barrett has been in intensive training.
We need to start creating chances and work as more of a unit.
We did pretty much only start hoofing it long from the keeper yesterday after half time. It did at least push the Stanley defence back, but it didn't really work at all did it.I think Robins needs to get the players in for training and go back to basics.

Try something different-put Reid in at least he tries to actually cross a ball. I’d have Ponticelli in aswell if McNulty isn’t 100%. I don’t see him as the saviour like others have been saying about him this season-but he knows where the goal is. Probably won’t create anything or get the ball to him anyway.:banghead:

Post match interview ,he's also lost around 10 -12 lbs.What's this about McNulty being ill? Hadn't seen/heard that.....

I'd play jch with ponti on the bench, we just need to create more.Get the game called off so we have more time to train as it’s clear we need it
Plus it’s a rubbish trip for a midweek fixture!
I’d rest McNulty, clearly took a risk yesterday but it could have back fired as he was clearly not well and could have brought on an injury as he was still trying to find his usual levels, throw Ponticelli is alongside Biamou; he needs a full game not bits here and there, I’d even try Shipley and Bayliss in the middle together as Kelly was useless yesterday and might as well have not been on the pitch. Sounds like Doyle has niggled something and will be missing a few, but need to have him teaching one or two of the others how to command on the pitch.
Reid has earner a start for me, we just need someone who’s willing to get involved in the box and get on the end of his crosses. RM is a tough call; none of the players who’ve played there of late have been much cop. I’d normally consider changing the system but I’ve seen our ‘plan B’s’ and they usually go against us!
From watching the game yesterday, I would say all of them.Who’s ill out of the squad?
Maybe he could start playing Vincenti in his natural position behind the strikers.
He’s played his whole career out wide though hasn’t he. Think playing at Rochdale suited his strengths small tight pitch
Vincenti says that his favourite position is at attacking midfielder, where he "can make late runs into the box and hope to get on the end of any crosses".[76] He also says he is comfortable playing in central midfielder and as a forward, but would ultimately "play anywhere the manager tells him to".[76
only flaw in that tactic is Vicenti can'r run and we can't get crosses into the box!

He found himself in the box yesterday and skied at least two efforts. And he was pretty useless out wide. We keep lumping it up towards him and for a really really tall bloke, he's rubbish in the air. And with it at his feet.
Ensure both DKE's are no where near the squad ever
Go with a defensive line up of Willis, Hyam, McDonald and Stokes / Haynes
