Caveat that we don’t know who is ill, but if we are going with the 4-3-3 option, we’ve somehow still found a way to not fully let the hand break off. While he hasn’t been the signing we expected so far, I’d prefer MVE over Lati at RB and if Sakamoto can’t even get a start in this formation he’s...

Was he? Genuine question. Other signings don’t scream 4-3-3 to me, centre back is a casing point; five first team CB’s for two positions, three of which we paid money for. Moot point anyway; I’m personally not opposed to the formation. Right now we need something different. Equally I don’t...

Surprised he’s changing tactics after buying so many defenders and two clear WB’s as opposed to full backs. As long as he doesn’t find a way to make it defensive then I’m all in. Honestly think once we find the right system and style we’ll start flying. Wright and Simms will come good, but...

Not convinced MR will change it yet, and to be honest I’m not entirely sure changing it helps that much, especially with the taxonomy of our squad i.e. a million centre backs. The issue with our formation is the wing backs aren’t really playing as offensive players, so it does look and turn...

Got two of those social life ruiners also known as kids, which means it isn’t as easy as that unfortunately!

I think he can add value, he’s a talented technical player clearly struggling with confidence and the physicality of the league. As with most of the squad so far this year, we’re yet to find a formation or style that brings the best out in him.

Depends who is ill. If it’s one ofthe CB’s or strikers for example, we have enough cover. If it’s a CM it’s going to impact us a lot more. Our overall squad is bigger this year so I’d hope illness wouldn’t affect us as much as it did last year. And bring slightly flippant, it’s not exactly...

I was tempted, but with it being the night before the Cov game I couldn’t get a pass out two nights in a row!

They were quite good live - not as good as others. They have quite a range of songs, so quite tricky for their lead singer I reckon. I was surprised how many of their songs I knew actually, so that certainly helped!

Nothing but Thieves at Resorts World tonight. Nor been to a ‘big concert venue’ for a while’ - maybe I’m old but I prefer the smaller venues. And/or I’m still cold and moody from the way longer than expected walk from International to the Arena with a partner in heels…

The word legend is well over used these days, and it has a slightly different meaning in modern day football. But McFadzean absolutely should be classed as one for us, he’s got better year on year, has been a leader for us and loves it here. It’d be nice if we can show him some support on...

It’s obvious to all we need a Hamer replacement. Far easier said than done, and we have to be realistic we aren’t getting a like for like, but some creativity and drive from midfield is sorely lacking. Not sure how you buy this, as the position has to come first, but we absolutely need a...

No way time for MR to go yet. But that team selection was absolutely mental on every level and I’m not surprised it backfired. He’s looking a little lost and desperate at the minute. Again though, we have good players, he just needs to find the right tactics and stick to a consistent team...

My worry (well one of many tbf) is Sheaf. He was awful last night, but in his defence he’s being asked to be the same DM he was last year and be the playmaker - it was as if everything had to go through him last night. All while clearly nowhere near match fit. And with limited options once he...

I agree to an extent. We do have good players and overall a stronger squad. We don’t have a bunch of no hopers who we all collectively agree are poor (see the relegation seasons). We’re massively bereft of confidence and MR needs to find a way to make us more incisive - and quickly. We’re...

Said it on the match thread, but in short; MR Out and relegation talk is mental. Can’t wait for five more days of negativity on SBT.

Emotions are high, everyone is pissed off. If Robins wasn’t Robins there would be more questions asked. But he is Robins and he’s earned that. Talk of MR out and relegation is OTT at this point. No way we’re going down.

Sheaf has had a really poor game. In his defence he’s being asked to carry a team while clearly unfit. Everything comes through him and he’s visibly shattered.

Take the stupid mistake of a goal and the first 5 mins away and we’ve looked good. Still lacked the killer instinct at times but overall it’s been better. Allen looks unusually tired. Really hope it’s COH for him and not Sakamoto at 60. Still got a good chance here.

Chill out on Wright. He’s offering way more today.
