I know we should enjoy the moment but we clearly played Bristol at the right time. Been something not right in that camp for a while now and. clearly, it's not getting any better.

Well let's be honest they mugged us off first game of the season

poor finishing again

Interesting what he says to the effect of 'if the pitch is shit go direct'

Could equally have been a bit of a swipe at any of his players finding excuses.

 

[oscillatewildly]

Probably lost the dressing room - For the sake of those Bristol players in it, I hope he doesn't rediscover it.
He doesn't strike me as the type of manager to dole out the consoling hand on shoulder.

Really great to see the difference Walker and Godden made up-top; excellent from O'Hare as always too.

Missed the game today, did they play well together? Does it look like a partnership that could work longer term?

looked promising even with Godden clearly not fit and importantly we got players up in support of them.

Neither look fit but definitely look like they could work well together, especially with O'Hare in the mix too

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Some part

I guess it doesn’t matter as the Lino never gave it anyway most games

Probably similar to Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor - but for different reasons.

Sheffield Wednesday have
Swansea - lately complete bottle jobs (h)
Bristol City - see above (h)
Blackburn Rovers - see above (h)
Nottm Forest (h)
QPR (a)
Middlesbro (a)
Derby (a) last game I'd be surprised if they don't get 12-13 points from that. The first 3 look shoe ins, based on attitude.

I think we need at least 2 or 3 more wins still, or 2 plus a couple of draws. Think Sheff Wed could be more of a threat than Rotherham. Their next 2 games, QPR a and Swansea h, don't want them taking more than a point - but don't trust Swansea one bit at the moment.

Well you saw how it fell apart for him at Watford too

Just tells me that 50 will do it this year

Parallel with him at Watford. Initial bounce followed by a swift regression. Not defending players but maybe there is something about Pearson that just doesn't work, he's too intense.

Yeah you wouldn’t want to get on the wrong side of him.

100% agreed Herts with this.

I'm certain that Robins has been waiting all season to play Godden and Walker together - with O'Hare as our 10. Even with God and Walker 90% fit, the movement up front was very good. We played far more in the oppo's half today.

Quick word also for James - written off by a few of the usual experts - I thought he was good. And Pask finally got to play in his favoured central defensive position - and added much needed pace to our 3.

We can really build on this base next season (all going to plan) and add to our side with some decent recruitment over the summer.

Always has the look of a driving instructor who has picked up a flat tyre on the way to his first lesson of the day.

 

[covcity4life]

Massive win!!! We really needed that

Mcallum walker and James stood out for me. Thibk sam tepped up as only specialist wing bsck and James vision and passing range caused them issues and walker involved in all 3 goals.

Eccles performed admirably .positive signs if we need to continue playing him there

Great godden to get a goal and him and walker seemed quite positive all gsme. O hare assist for gyo. He must play every game for me

Defence coped with everything pretty well but fuck me whay a terrible error for that goal. Could have done without that!. V poor from mcfadz. That said 3-1 Is a better buzz than 2-0 and 3rd goal will increase player confidence imo!

I have said since start of season enjoy these wins and be proud of them! Thata 10 this season. Stop moaning and see what a great job mark robins is doing!

PUSB

P.s can't believe we won a game with robins hsving hands in pockets!!

 

[Skybluefaz]

You make a reasonable point actually.

Originally I thought us staying up was largely dependent on Birmingham being worse, but with them picking up points and Rotherham going the other way, providing Wycombe and Sheff Wednesday stay down there we might be alright if we can do Rotherham.

Just think it might just be enough. Win there and another couple of points should be absolutely certain.

 

[covhead1]

Well deserved win today!
Now let's go give Bournemouth a good kicking!!!

Better than having the best athlete in the club up top lets just be polite and put it like that

We’re much more likely to go there and setup looking to avoid defeat, which I think would be sensible

 

[Sick Boy]

I think we’ve probably seen the last of him if we stay up.

I'm guessing somebody didn't get as many Easter eggs they were hoping for yesterday.

 

[Grendel]

Let’s hope so it’s embarrassing as a club that fans talk him up the way they do

 

[oscillatewildly]

So, how many, G? Easter eggs I mean.

 

[Grendel]

If only we'd called the taxi for Robins two seasons ago as per your suggestion and appointed Kenny Jacket - I guess you think we'd be in the Prem?

Just for once give it a rest, have a day off and do us all a favour. Please.

Im amazed you have the balls

“Best athlete at the club”

Conversely Leicester's return to the top flight, they started awfully then bounced spectacularly. I'd suggest it's more he's good at motivating, energising tired squads, and then they revert to type.

 

[Sick Boy]

Wasn’t it Pearson who strangled that Palace player?

 

[DannyThomas_1981]

Although not nearly as embarrassing of course as some absolute moron on here starting a taxi campaign every season for Robins.

How did James play today - typically in line with your fantastic knowledge of the game - you were writing him off a couple of weeks back if I remember rightly?

I'm sorry , but what a boring bastard he is

Even when he is not playing you can't get him out of your mind!

Likely in reaction to his disciples bringing him up during the game in their attacks on Godden.

Would hate him to be our boss

Have you listened to Lee Bowyer? I rate him but I can’t understand how he doesn’t put his teams to sleep
