8 nil, no more hitting the bar. Every shot will fly in. 
I’d normally take a point away from home but think we need to win this , would start with the same 11 as yesterday
Lati has to come into midfield for Eccles imo. Give Sheaf the freedom to get further forward, Eccles hasn’t been offering anything in recent matches.
Wilson
Thomas Fadz Binks
MVE Lat Sheaf DaSilva
Tats
Godden Simms

Whatever happens put Eccles out of his corner taking misery or at least just play a different routine.
It’s strange we’ve signed wing backs to provide better quality delivery and yet there’s little evidence they do and they take very few corners
Eccles started off taking corners that couldn’t beat the first man before trying comically lofted ones to the back post. You may as well have the shortest player on the pitch in DaSilva taking them.
Not only do the scouts that proposed buying hadji wright need booting out but whoever said that Eccles in the coaching group can take a corner also needs to go. That was unacceptable yesterday.
With our current form there's not many teams out there at least on paper where you'd think that we could beat them. But after yesterday's fiasco, I feel Rotherham will be fancying their chances against us. They did beat Norwich and drew with Southampton.
If we dont win this I'm calling MR under pressure from Douglas.....
Need a win. I’d change the system but Robins won’t so I’d go:
Wilson
Lats Binks Kitching
MvE Allen Sheaf Sakamoto Dasilva
Simms Wright
Time to go post Fadz, none of our strikers are scoring so may as well play the ones that cost loads.

It will probably be the same team, but Wright in for Simms as seems the usual from MR. The Simms-Wright partnership did not produce a goal between them in the one game where they have played together for any meaningful period of time, so MR will persist with Godden and then keep switching the other two for the next eight games.
come on now. No need for massive over reactions. No one is happy with losing football games but it’s clear we play good football we just can’t put the ball in the net.
13 games in is a bit strong to be calling for a head of a manager with a brand new team and lost his 2 best players.
I agree it will be loss, but I think it will be a 1-0 loss according to the circumstances described below

I think Own Goal will get his 4th of the season, he's scoring about 1 every 3 so far.
Im not calling for anyones head. And nor is anyone at the club at the moment.
But before you know it half the seasons gone and if we're pissing about in 17th after an outlay of 20 million quid (yes I know it was income) from what i know about how Doug is with the running of the club ( a lethal fucker who does it his way) I wouldn't be surprised to see him letting Robins know his displeasure
Well already we've heard
'This'll be a good team at some point, honest'
'It's a work in progress'
'Everyone's quiet'
You can't ride on those all season.
Massive game (imo) win this one, and with key players returning, things are looking better.
Lose it, against a team near the bottom, and the negativity really starts to set in.
I'm going for a 2-0 win and Simms or Wright getting on the score sheet. And this being the start of a good run

I agree with taking Fadz out and bedding Kitching in at centre-half, personally I’d put Joel L CDM for the Rotherham game.

Heavy rain forecast for Wednesday in Rotherham, game could get called off.
When Ann Proctor Brown starts liking your post, it's time to reconsider the content.

Not a bad thing
I just think we become too defensive with two out and out DMs at the base. A three with Saka and Allen I’m hoping makes up for slightly less defensive solidity with energy.
I'm sure conversations are being had.
The thing that is peeving people off is that if these two signings decided to contribute then we would be in a top 6 position in the table. The football isn't bad it's just we look without Godden toothless.
I'm trying not to blame individual players but i can't help it, these two signings so far as we head into late October have been absolutely dreadful.
“Decided”? Do you actually think they’ve both decided not to contribute?
“Yeah mate might just move to the championship and tank my career for the banter”
