Today will be the 12th Time this season our gate is over 24,000 and the 8th time over 25,000

Our lowest home crowd in the league was 22,092

Lowest crowd higher than our highest average for 44 years.

When we have a few injuries and play poorly, Eccles is a passenger and doesn’t dictate play, and is consistently error prone.

Average player being carried in a decent team. He won’t play for a team better than us in his career.

Every good team historically always has a couple of players being dragged up by the quality in others

Torp is very lightweight and has gone missing in most games he’s played for us.

So you get 50 points just for buying a ticket today? How much for my season ticket?

Absolute horseshit , so basically no stats just a shit opinion on one of our most consistent performers

And the highest low crowd for 54 years

 

[Gibbo]

I am hoping for an easy win 4-1 or something like that. Which means we are doomed, doomed....

Don't agree with that at all.

I like the idea of people working out which is the lesser evil.

To go in the away end or lower-tier corporate..

Block b open now but selling quickly

 

[pusbccfc]

Got a feeling there will still be a fair few empty seats with people having just brought tickets to get points for the next tier of Wembley sales..

Which, as I've said before, is fucking mental.

People buying tickets to get points but not going.

Idiots sort of don’t care if they want to give the club money but ffs

Is there any evidence this actually happens?

Is this an April fools post

 

[vin10]

I think Eccles will be a regular next year..he's game has improved a lot over the last couple of years.....doesn't get the headlines but for consistency right up there

Think he’s been carrying a few knocks to be fair and still adjusting. Eccles doesn’t deserve to be dropped though, still more to come from him.

There’s no denying Torp is a good player. I just think some romanticise over Torp because he’s got a good shot on him.

Yeah needs a pre season doesn’t he..bulk up a little just like Eccles did. Seems to struggle in the defensive third.

In Wales, the local sports news is reporting that the Cardiff manager is urging his players not to give up their season too soon - sounds like there might be a bit of a morale issue in the Cardiff camp!!

 

[Como]

Watching the Leicester game, feels odd wanting them to score, Norwich are under the cosh.

And Leicester score

I saw similar comments on their forum, they are on the beach.

 

[Ashdown]

Don't agree with that at all.

Me neither, Torp has some real quality but needs to be quicker in possession now he's in the Championship. He will be improved by MR and Co but Eccles offers a bit more still.

Stay like this - then win our 2 games in hand - Happy Days!

Unchanged team - this is basically Robins’ ride-or-die XI until the end of the season, isn’t it?

 

[SBT]

Also no Godden on the bench….not sure what’s happened there.

 

[Sky Blue 1987]

Godden not even on the bench?

Way it should be in business end of season really for most part. Assuming medical team saying no one in real danger of fatigue

I'm happy with that.

The only change to the matchday squad is Lusala in for Godden, who is assumed to be injured or ill.

 

[ptr]

Queue rumours of Godden tantrum.

Cue rumours? Or rumours in the queue?

 

[Como]

Deliah does not look happy

Why would you not play you first choice team if everyone is fit and in good condition? Nowadays you have so many options to change it anyway.

 

[Nick]

Hopefully we dont take our foot off the gas if we take a lead!

 

[Otis]

Also no Godden on the bench….not sure what’s happened there.

He was really angry at the lack of game time and had a bust up with Robins at the training ground.

It got really heated and Godden stormed off in a right huff and cleared out his locker.

OR....he has a bit of a knock.

Queue of rumours on cue.
