Emotional knee jerking. The team has done well against some of the best teams in the division, our record against the top 8 is respectable, better than it was last season at least. We knew the team was a bit short in areas going into the season. 2-4 signings in Jan could really lift the team to...

Look at Sunderland. Finished 15th last season and the same players are sitting prettily in 4th this season. All they’ve done is added a new manager and a couple of experienced players. That’s all we need. Cut out the BS goals that we concede and we’ll be fine.

Those stats are pretty damning for Robins.

The majority of the public do think it’s reasonable and the voter ID for voting is free of charge. There is an option for someone is eligible to vote but doesn’t have ID or any kind. A lot of comments on here are around it being a solution for a false problem… I don’t think there’s a big fraud...

Only Hull and Plymouth have conceded first more often than us. When we score first, we tend to do well! https://www.soccerstats.com/table.asp?league=england2&tid=sc

Yea because we’ve gone behind in 12 to 14 of our games this season.

They’re all good players and will come good. It’s more likely that the coaching/tactics has been at fault more than these players being bad. I can definitely see Lampard culling more coaches in the summer if he starts to do well.

xG doesn’t take game state into account and because we spend so long chasing games, it will have the effect of skewing our xG upwards and xgA downwards. We don’t need xG / xgA stats to see just how poor our defending is at times. This is something FL really needs to address. I don’t trust Lati...

The goals we concede are just criminally soft. The latest of many this season was WBA’s second last night. If we don’t concede that goal, there’s every chance we rescue a goal and laud the team for a positive performance and result. But no, we gift wrap far too many soft goals and it’s...

Disagree on the NBA, every second count and even recently I went to a match where one team took the lead with 11 seconds on the clock and the other team won it with 6.6 seconds left. I see your point of view, in the context of rugby and the NFL. The fundamental difference with rugby, NFL and...

I’d like to see the rules change to allow teams to play on and to stop the clock for head injuries. Do away with stoppage time and when the ball goes dead after 90m, the game ends.

Would it actually be that hard to do what they do in rugby and just carry on playing? That may go some way in quickening up the game and cutting out playacting.

Yeah, by what measure is 19 goals in a season a failure? All due respect to Robins, he hasn’t done the play any favours by chopping and changing. We’ve got 3 strikers that are not firing because they’re not getting a good run in the side. Well, Bassette has had a decent run in the side and so...

Scored 19 goals last season, what are you talking about? He's a striker, give him chances, he scores and I don’t really care about the other bits.

First shot in the second half too. If we don’t sign a CB in Jan, we ain’t finishing in the top half.

I left shortly after that goal in disgust. It was outside of the box, he had to go for the ball (or more) even if he fouls him. Thomas probably could’ve done a bit better but at least ushered him in Lati’s path. Seriously, I think this goal is the worst we’ve conceded this season for a purely...

He has one goal, it’s ridiculous. He’s energetic and works hard and I appreciate that. However, he lacks the ruthlessness (and a right foot) to start this season imo. His movement in the box needs to be refined because he can be a bit naive. Simms scored 19 goals in half a year, just give the...

The issues are on the pitch and the first person to get the chop had to be Robins. Not DA nor Dr Roberts. Last season, we had 2 20 goal a season strikers, one of the best midfielders in the league. Added one of L1s best outfield players, Rudoni, WBA’s top scorer, a promising striker in...

Agreed. Hes a solid player, no more and no less and the hero worship of him is a bit strange. Then again, many English football fans love a blood and thunder, average player. Agreed. In all honesty, it was a drab game and overheard a few Baggies fans saying we looked shit. In my view, WBA...

They’re a team stat, that is a given. Defence is a team effort and that trend is that we keep the most clean sheets with MVE-Thomas-Kitching-Bidwell. Binks has 3 clean sheets in nearly 40 games, for the most part, he’s playing with the same players as Kitching (Bidwell-Thomas-MVE). Back to...
