Would have loved it if one hit Palmer and he went down holding his face (the caveat being they were carrier bags or something so not going to do any damage).

You keep saying the result in the US was disputed in 2016 - any evidence of this?

Dean Austin was very boldly saying Robins wanted Wilson-Esbrand brought in. The impression I’d always had was it was a “meh, if it gives us more numbers then fine” signing but the way Austin was speaking it was like we’d specifically targeted him at the request of Robins.

I feel like you’re arguing against something that isn’t there. Chaplin was brought in and, whilst he scored a few goals (8 in 32, so 1 in 4) if you watched the games we really didn’t get the best out of him with our style of play. No one is saying he was a poor signing - in fact it’s been a...

Not sure on data as such, but the two main forms of photo ID are passport and driving licence. Stands to reason that if you don’t drive and you don’t go on holidays abroad you may not have either. You can open a bank account with a birth certificate and utility bill - neither of which are photo...

I’m certainly not using them to beat him with. I just find it interesting. The Wilson-Esbrand revelation at the fans forum set me off to be honest as it’s not really the type of wing back he’s traditionally used, and suggested to me he knew we had to be a bit more adventurous but obviously it...

It’s actually this kind of thing that makes me think he may make a decent DoF (yes, there is some slight romanticism!). Feel like he wants to play a more attacking style of football than he’s actually comfortable with and reverts to conservative football too easily.

Who TF catches up on the phone in???

Bit late to this, but it got me thinking. There’s a decent handful of players that Robins chased and chased - Walker being one of them - and then when he had them for whatever reason didn’t utilise them particularly well. Kitching is another that we know of, and from the fans forum the talk that...

Not higher division, is getting game time, but I wonder whether Liam Cooper could be tempted. No idea how fit he is nowadays as he seems to have only played half the games in the last 4 seasons but unsure whether that was because of fitness or ability.

And yet won a penalty. Funny that.

Listen, I’m not suggesting there aren’t times when he looks like he’s not trying, but I think back to our game v Norwich last season when he was (to the untrained eye) just ambling round and then it came out post-match that they’d been effectively told not to press too aggressively. It’s been a...

Guys I found our experienced midfielder…

It’s why I think Binks could work at LB in the system. I’d be in favour of our defensive shape being Thomas Kitching Sheaf Binks Centre backs pulled slightly wider to cover the channels, if Kitching got dragged across to LB then Binks could tuck into CB temporarily.

We also have a problem of centre mids being drawn into the attacking play too much. If that becomes 1 in front of the 3 defenders then we’re outrageously exposed.

I opted for Sheaf (maybe because I’m a cuck?) but as long as whoever occupies that position out of Sheaf/Eccles remains defensively disciplined I’d be comfortable either way. We saw Eccles do it vs Leeds last season; just more of that please.

One of the differences, though, is that he’s deliberately parrying the ball to places he knows there are no attackers. Better than our traffic cones. On Dovin, think he’ll come good given time but we needed someone more aggressive. Willing to collect crosses, high starting position to sweep up...

Read an interesting article a while back on the career of an MP when they’re voted out. Seemed pretty brutal.

Dovin MVE Thomas Kitching Binks Torp Sheaf Rudoni Sakamoto Simms EMC Obviously won’t happen but intrigues me.

Wonder if Liam Cooper is fed up of Bulgaria yet.
