    My concern with Robins

    From memory, hasn't he scored twice? Both deflections? Not that that matters particularly, goals a goal!

    My concern with Robins

    Should be obvious to anyone with stats or not, as long as we have eyes, that we're shooting plenty, but generally poorly. Which is why those who use basic BBC/SKY Football stats on shots, possession etc to argue we've had a good game or not, so often get the reality wrong. xG looks to be...

    My concern with Robins

    My concern with Robins

    Transfer Rumour Haji Wright

    No wonder he's been so poor when he's been ventilating goal nets, they already have holes in. Should concentrate more on scoring in them really.

    More that they're too alike in both being a bit crap really.

    Is Sakamoto a wingback yet?

    Had a really good game bit " Charles " Charlie" Charles at times, but generally effective.

    Transfer Rumour Haji Wright

    Wright and Simms can't play together for sure, too similar as players.

    Looks like subbing Hamer when winning not a good idea for any team.

    One of their later ones I think, definitely not Back or back again in the DHSS. Wear my Dukla Prague away kit with nearly as much pride as any City top.
