We all know MR is God, he's now practicing the "laying on of hands"

He’s got Saddle in to wank off the injured players I assume

Maybe that's why they are back on the grass.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Think Milan could even play on Saturday, what he was implying to a friend of mine when he bumped into him, great news after what seemed like a really bad one

Was he on his electric scooter again?

 

[robbiethemole]

Off my tits in Ibiza, never realised I was such a good dancer haha

Cool, we’re all over the place then, cos I’m in Marrakesh until tomorrow then moving down to Tagazhout on the coast, so missing the next two games

 

[Brylowes]

Blackpool keeper just gone off injured

Are you Clive Eakin in disguise

 

[skyblueelephant76]

How could the physios get a diagnosis that wrong?

The scan showed a tear so they have to take precautions. Initial timescales are based on typical recovery times but people heal differently. It's not the physios fault.

I did wonder how the earthquakes would affect tourism in Morocco this year, in fact I did think it might trash it altogether.

 

[shmmeee]

You want to get at them, but drop our top scorer ?

Yes

 

[shmmeee]

If Godden's goals dry up, it's time to drop him. He doesn't do enough besides them.


Some wanted him dropped when he was the top scorer in the division for two players who had one goal between them.

They didn’t tho. They wanted the first team strike pairing in once Goddens goals dried up. Which they have.

 

[SBT]

I don’t understand how it can go from ‘he’s completely torn his quad’ to ‘will be back in weeks’.

“Van Ewijk was rushed to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced dead. He was then transferred to a better hospital where doctors upgraded his condition to ‘alive’”

You mean he was transferred from George Elliot to Coventry University Hospital.

Wtf??? Goddess goals have dried up???

He's our top scorer and has more goals than Wright and Simms combined!!!

Wright is as lethal as Eccles and Simms has the same number of goals as we have had own goals.

Godden hit a purple patch no doubt, but hasn’t performed for two games. That was enough to have people wanting Kasey Palmer shot out of a cannon.

Godden was fine on Saturday and showed some signs of having an understanding with Simms, he set up two or three good openings for Simms

 

[shmmeee]

Haji Wright has played 90 mins once. Simms zero times. Godden nine times. Can we stop pretending that a call to dial down Goddens playing time and dial up the £20m of strikers time is an unreasonable ask?

Considering Simms was taken off while on a hat-trick, it’s unlikely to happen any time soon. Godden was pivotal in setting up two of the goals though I think, so is still contributing. I would like to see Simms and Wright given some time playing together though, especially as Godden seems to spend long periods out injured, so it would be good for them to have some kind or understanding.

 

[Gint11]

Convincing home win would be nice. They shipped 4 yesterday so no reason we can’t bag. Simms to get on the scoresheet again

That’s all I want. I think coming on last 20 mins as a striker is shit. Half the time they barely get a touch. Just one game with the both starting. We can bring Godden on at 60 if we must.

 

[Paxman II]

Godden's running into space, drawing defenders for others to capitalise can't be underestimated. It's not all about scoring. he was screaming at Simms after Simms blasted over when Godden had made the perfect run and would have scored with a through ball. You have to look at the whole contribution. Simms will now start scoring regularly. Wright will need to improve if he is to be a regular starter, which I'm sure will come.
As for Blackburn. They must be lacking confidence right now, so expect us to win this one. Kelly and Eccles the other day were very good in their roles. Allen was a driving force and had a good game. Would like Kitching to come into the fold. Amazing how it's coming together without key players too. With O'Hare back and others I think we will soon be challenging near the top.

 

[PVA]

Saturday did seem like the perfect opportunity to put Wright on with Simms for a bit (unless Simms was really dead on his feet).

Well said.

 

[Robinshio]

massive few days
6 points and we will be very close to the top 6
A minimum of 4 points would see us very nicely placed going into the break

D1L3 against Norwich since our return to this league though!

Yeah, there were definitely signs of an understanding between Godden and Simms but do think Robins should have subbed Godden for Wright and given him and Simms 15 or so minutes together just to get a look at them as a pairing.

If we must... lol.

Totally bizarre to be so grudging about such a fine servant to the club and our top scorer.

The approach of prioritising players based on how much they cost is really working at Chelsea.

Hasn't performed ? My god our fans are fuxked in the head

The team won 3-0 , Simms and godden linked well second half .. what's the issue ?

 

[Evo1883]

Godden and simms had 46 touches between them Saturday , 26 godden 20 simms .

We won 3-0 and one of our strikers scores 2 .. what's Robins actually going to change ? Nothing

 

[skybluepm2]

The dummied step-over in the first half which played Simms through was divine

Undroppable then.

Guessing you left before the end?

Not generally but there is no good reason to drop him for Wednesday's game

 

[Evo1883]

Haha , my bad

Reminded me of that Kevin Gallacher one to set Nuddy up for that goal v Norwich

 

[fernandopartridge]

Aside from Godden playing well so far this season, it's unfair and unnecessary pressure on Wright to have him paired with Simms just because we paid big transfer fees for the pair of them. Let's just see how it goes and let him find his way.

 

[Evo1883]

Not sure what haji wright had actually done this season to warrant the obsessive need to see him start ? Got to earn his shirt hasn't he
