I think this is a mistake. I know we have been underperforming but I am far from convinced that we can lay all of this at the door of the best manager we have had in a very long time. We will end up appointing either a young untried manager (who might have performed alright at a lower level)...

He’s OK : certainly not making as many mistakes as the players.

This Gymores chap looks promising. I think we should try and beat the likes of Watford and Preston to his signature. He will be a good back-up for EM-C and give us more squad depth. We should offer Tavares and £1 million for him.

I’m not a betting man but my understanding is that the odds reflect the money staked on each candidate. I think it is the case that men (who are more likely to back Trump according to the polls) are more likely to gamble than women. If that’s right, it will skew the odds in favour of a Trump...

That’s a good point. I can only think that he has recovered from his injury but - as you would expect - isn’t yet regarded as being match fit. If that’s correct we will surely see him in the U23s very soon.

Netherlands is one of those countries that doesn’t allow dual nationality. This means that to get Australian nationality - which I’m sure is what he has - he would have to surrender his Netherlands one.

I agree. Given time, I’m sure he will prove to be a good player. Gykores hadn’t performed well before he joined us and wasn’t great for us to start with. I think it’s fair to say that things have turned out alright for him 😊

The good news is that, when opposing teams use fake injuries to allow their manager to reset his tactics, we usually go on to win 😊

I agree but it will need to be extended to outfield players as well.

Our changed lineup and formation is looking good. We are getting the best out of Rudoni, Lati and Thorp now.

Eccccccccllllleeeeessss!

A little less so now 😊

I’m getting nervous.

Torp much better in an advanced position. It’s a shame we couldn’t have played him there earlier in the season but we couldn’t because of Sheaf’s injury and the lack of midfield cover.

Yeeeeeessssssssss!

They just watch their performances decline once they don the red shirt. 😆

After Saturday is a statue of MR back on the agenda? 🙂

I was impressed by Rudoni at LWB. I would never have thought of playing him there but, given that he has both defensive and attacking qualities, I can see how it makes sense. Playing Rudoni at LWB also opens it up, as MR did yesterday, for Torp to play in the advanced midfield role which I...

I think that performance was pretty much what a lot of us thought we would be doing before the season started : a good attack that would be banging the goals in but a slightly leaky defence that would be conceding a few. I think what impressed me the most was the fact that the players didn’t...

Well done Robins, the master tactician 😊
