Why? Paterson has looked dreadful when he's come on to the point where I genuinely don't know why we bothered signing him except for the sentimental video. He looks too far off the pace to even be in consideration to start.

He's definitely not ready to start for a good few weeks. Not a criticism as it was to be expected, but he looked horribly rusty when he came on.

So you'd rather him not get any game time whatsoever. Interesting logic.

Bassette has definitely got potential, but there's a lot to work on for him to reach the level required to compete and perform in this league week in week out. He undoubtedly needs a loan move away next season , probably in L1 or in Scotland for him to work on his game and gain some experience...

Worked well for him this season..... Robins is successful when no expectation is placed on his head and he can operate freely within the confines of his role. The Coates family expect immediate results from their managers and Robins has always been a slow burn but as shown here eventually...

I said at the time going to Stoke would be a poor career choice. Probably paid pretty well but in terms of longevity and for his reputation it was never likely to go well. There's a huge complacency issue at Stoke, and I strongly suspect the issues come from the top down. Coates family have...

Bristol have a difficult run in. 8 out of their remaining 12 games are against top half of the table sides. Not sure they have the quality to put a serious run together.

Pointless looking at other scores really, it rarely works if you're relying on other results to swing in your favour. Just need to focus on what we're doing and take it game by game.

A couple of games before that they lost three in a row. Typical of their season really.

It'll definitely be a tough game, but given their recent form it's one we should be getting three points from really. Said it a couple of times already but being limited to 2 shots on target over the past 4 games is genuinely atrocious by them. Need to capitalise on the lack of form of others.

Possibly. Their performances over the last four games have looked appalling though to be honest. As mentioned, they've only managed 2 shots on target over that period. It potentially could be the ideal time to play them.

It's a shame Haji is still a few weeks away from starting. He absolutely terrorised them in the reverse fixture.

To compound the above they've only had 2 shots on target in the past four games.

Shame we're not playing these at the CBS. They've only won one away game all season. Their home form is pretty much on par with our own. Results have dipped for them recently but will still be a tough game.

Possibly, but they need to start being more consistent. They've been in midtable form for a while now and that won't do them any favours with us, Norwich and Bristol knocking on the door. Blackburn will almost certainly finish midtable. Their form just hasn't been good enough for a while now.

You have to wonder whether the club receives any share of F&B, parking, etc. If the rent is increased to let say £2m+ to use your example, with no additional revenue from the stadium apart from ticketing and board sponsorship that poses a fairly sizeable problem.

Hopefully, I just don't trust any entity associated with Mike Ashley to play fair game.

Yeah on the face of it it's a weird one. The only thing i can think of is he's looking at buying stadia of distressed clubs at below market value and selling them for profit to other third parties after pumping some money in for improvements.

Super League soon come.

The point is, I've heard it's already too high. Push it up anymore and it's very much in inflexible territory. As I've already mentioned, medium-long term that's a problem if we stagnate in the Championship over that period.
