Will the crowd sing his name next home game? Would be uncomfortable for Doug.

Can 100% be seen that way but if the next appointment is poor he will be at risk of further dealing with falling player values alongside falling attendances. Robins was let down in the summer by the lack of investment in midfield and with all the changes with coaches this season, more than any...

His awareness and technique are more advanced than most of the squad. Would start him Tuesday

Think there could be a record low total to make the play offs this season as the spread of points seems like it will be even across a large number of teams.

Agree as does Kitching. We spent 7 million on Binks and Kitching who appear to be CBs that function far better in a back 5, then switched to a back 4 and spent money on players better suited to 4 3 3. Somewhere there was muddled thinking.

Kitching was positionally suspect at times and I would expect Rudoni or JDS to start as if we have ambitions to play an expansive game we need both wing backs to be effective attacking outlets.

Didn't you think Saka otherwise was part of the team improvement, especially in the first half. MVE played well and I think he and Saka link really well. Also Rudoni didn't he change the game and might be worth persisting with at LWB and a better option than Kitching

Dovin MVE Lati Kitching JDS Saka Eccles Sheaf Wright BTA Bassette This team restores the MVE and Saka link that has served us so well. It also has our two forwards in who are best as pressing from the front.

Absurd is quite a stong word. Talk me through the Bassette signing. We had already had a deep squad and a riches of forward players. You think MR asked for another forward? Or was is it more likely the scouting team and Doug (with MRs awareness perhaps) decided at 19 he was too good a prospect...

This is where astute management comes into play. Sadly we appear to be rushing to make subs as we have a deep squad. Part of our secret in seasons gone by has been us having a well drilled team that knew how to play to its strengths, the operating environment and player expectations mean we dont...

My abbreviated spelling of of our French forward!

Leaking goals are the issue I would revert to 5 in the back /middle but with very attacking wing backs. 3-5-2 DOVIN MVE LATI THOMAS BINKS JDS RUDONI SHEAF ECCLES BERNA WRIGHT Away from home, on the break we could run riot.

I think he could play alongside Sheaf especially in games where we should dominate the match.

We need to stop playing with 1 up front.

He was from the Midlands at one point as was at villa so might come back. Hardly gave the ball away once and dictated play. Would take him if he was available.

It's a bit perplexing that they didn't prioritize the work for the off season.

Hard to not recognise some of the points being made. Feel CWR should ask about the balance of the squad.

Even if it is cant they join the dots with whoever manages the lights?

It's so so simple. The Council know they are shutting the road and mobilize an army of people to do this. Yet no one has the foresight to think about adjusting the lights sequencing so traffic flow in the open routes is optimized for 30 mins after the game. The people in charge of roads and...
