Yep, forgotten that one. I remember BNC playing in front of Dabo that day, weird formation but he had plenty of the ball. Possibly his debut? BNC was replaced by Burroughs in second half. Reid & Nee were on the bench so we must have been short! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok fair enough. Did we start a back four last season? If we did I don’t remember it. I do remember him taking Fadz off a couple of times to move to a four, and occasionally even taking Fadz off and going to a more mobile back 5. Anyway, back to the original point, he isn’t going to start with a...

We’ll see on Sunday. Personally I hope you’re right, as watching Collins for 3 games has scared me as much as Wilson did before his transformation last season. But ultimately only one opinion counts and it’s not ours. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

But Robins doesn’t work like that. Irrespective of how good a season Wilson had, if Robins thinks Collins is an upgrade on Wilson he will play him as first choice. And I suspect he does. Peoples’ preconceptions & opinions are irrelevant, Robins will not take into account whether or not we...

On merit or because of last season? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

He won’t start Wilson unless his back is 100% and he’s proved it consistently in training. In any case, I think Robins sees Collins as the future and is likely to start him on Sunday. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

They are all useful to him and will be discarded when they’re not. Suggest ask Dabo, Marosi or Grimmer whether he’s sentimental or not. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Maybe, but Robins has never been sentimental. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I can’t see anything other than Collins starting. He’s played the last 3 games while Wilson has been injured, Robins unlikely to change it now. It’ll be Collins’ shirt to lose now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Possibly. Seems like a lifetime ago! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Agreed. MvE likely to be on the bench, maybe get some minutes, and then start against Wimbledon. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

He has very occasionally switched to 4 at the back, taking Fadz off (usually when desperately chasing a game) but I can’t remember the last time he started with a back 4. Possibly in league 2? When it comes to phasing Fadz out (or resting him) it will almost certainly be Lati, Thomas and Binks...

No problem with Eccles at all in that position, quite likely. It’s playing four at the back that’s the fantasy! It will obviously be 3412 (90% chance) or possibly 3421 (10%) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Is that a prediction or your fantasy? Either way it ain’t going to happen. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I don’t think so. Longer term, my guess would be Thomas or Lati (once Fadz, Kelly and Gus are no longer in the picture). Sheaf always seems more happy to be in the background, doesn’t seem the sort to push himself front & centre. That doesn’t take away from him being a superb player though...

Agreed. Robins has never been afraid to upgrade when he sees fit, one example being Jack Grimmer. First choice all season, goal in playoff final, most of us were quite happy with him, but MR thought the position needed an upgrade so he did. I don’t think the position is as clear with Bidwell, I...

Agreed, and I never understood why JB didn’t get more opportunities at RWB last season; on the few occasions he played he always seemed a more effective option in that position than Eccles. He had a superb game against Watford (albeit on the left from memory) but didn’t seem to kick on...

Clearly you are happy with what you’ve seen from him so far and I’m underwhelmed. Let’s agree to disagree and I’m sure we both want to see him do well. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok, please tell me what he did to influence the game today? His involvement was minimal, exactly the same as last Saturday. He appears to be effective if we feed balls into him in the box but we didn’t do that today. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
