I think it’s going to be a counter attacking masterclass. 3-1. Wright, Simms and Allen.

I love the thought that Robins, almost universally regarded as being in our top 3 managers of all time, has not only kept picking a lazy striker but has adjusted his entire formation to compensate for it 😂

It’s really fine margins. Saka finishes through the keeper’s legs, Wright’s 3rd chance almost did the same but hits the keepers heel. Found himself clean through 3 times though and hit the target each time. Hasn’t been worth the price paid yet but if Robins was looking for a development project...

I think you’re overestimating your impact if you think the extra point for Wright in your player ratings is going to boost his confidence 😂

I hope we give Fadz and Kelly the last 10 minutes when we’re 3-0 up in the playoff final.

Hard to choose the MoM today, Eccles and Bidwell have been close to 9s today. Plenty of 8s though - Kitching, Saka, Sheaf.

That's what happens when you're 2-0 up away from home with 10 to go! We've all forgotten it!

Was just writing exactly that. The formation is bringing the best of out of a lot of our players that people were questioning if they were even good enough. Eccles and Sheaf, who people have accused of being too defensive and similar have willing runners in front of them and don't need to get...

This is the rare position now where we should be able to give Simms a comfortable 20 mins as a 9 in this formation

The touch turn and pass from Eccles there was absurdly good.

Eccles has played really nicely (corners aside) again today. League 1 at best my arse. Akso, apologies for back to back arse posts.

Brad Collins just looks like he belongs on a football pitch. I'm enjoying watching games without having to clench my arse every time our keeper has a decision to make.

I dunno what this ref thinks there, the guy has his arm at full stretch trying to grab some of MVEs shirt there. Did he get a lot of it? No. But it clearly impeded him.

Good half, created some good chances, looked solid in defence, midfield finding space. Really promising half.

Wright getting a lot pelters for his misses but he's caused so many more problems for the Milwall defence than Saka has this half. He just regularly makes basic mistakes. Sometimes first touch, sometimes finishing, sometimes a dodgy pass. He is doing a lot of things very well too though.

Well that's the debate now right? Refs are becoming conditioned to not make the tough calls when they can just wait for VAR to whisper in their ear and correct things.

I mean could easily have been a pen, should have been a yellow for the challenge on Saka, and now a studs up two footed tackle gets a yellow. Ref has been very lenient so far.

From behind, while running full speed and all your weight on one leg? Nah mate, weak as piss.

Good chance but a blatant push in the back just as he sets himself to shoot.

We’ll be pushing mid table by New Year by becoming hard to beat and excited by what we might do in the January transfer window. Decent number 8 in and we’ll be comfortable for the rest of the season.
