    Points Needed For A Top 6 Finish Over The Last 8 Years

    In my opinion we have at best a slim chance of making playoffs but whilst there is hope we need to give Robins and the team 100% support. We shouldn't write off our chances until it is mathematically impossible - there are no outstanding teams in this division so there are plenty of points to be...

    New right back

    Fingers crossed as he's a decent player at this and Champ level. As for the right backs - we have two good young full backs, both have strengths and weaknesses and both make occasional mistakes but we certainly don't need another right back. If we do sign Adams then we might still need some back...

    New right back

    Before we worry about right back I think we should sort out left back as currently we have only one left back and he is only on loan until Wednesday. Hopefully it will get sorted but lets concentrate on priorities and get Adams signed before we think about other positions.

    Jimmy Hill V Mark Robbins

    Where did I say it was SISU's fault? I didnt't mention SISU - You're even starting to read things that aren't there to suit your own blinkered beliefs. If it comes to Thorn (quite how a thread that started off as one comparing Jimmy Hill to MR has again ended up with Thorn yet again is sad and...

    The SISU situation is affecting our home attendances

    I believe there is still a small number who boycott games because of their personal antipathy towards our owners and others who may not buy season tickets because of stories in the media about the clubs solvency but the vast majority of fans decision to attend matches is simply based by success...

    Jimmy Hill V Mark Robbins

    So you support Thorns decision? Please make your mind up as to his ability.

    Jimmy Hill V Mark Robbins

    Why did we sign Nimley? Was it because Thorn took the idiotic decision to sell Jutkiewicz our top scorer? A player who despite being sold in January still finished joint top scorer. Nimley was never going adequately replace Juke - different type of player and after a bright start faded under the...

    Robins To Keep Tactics!

    Forgot about Fleck - indicates just what an impact he made on Thursday!!

    Robins To Keep Tactics!

    Nothing wrong with playing one up front holding the ball up as long as midfielders are moving forward to link up. This is where a fit Connor Thomas and Moussa are going to thrive as Jennings and Bailey are more of the holding style. Onus also on Sheff and Baker to break into the box in support...

    Edges disallowed goal

    Looking at TV when I got home (and had thawed out) he was level with the defender but Clarkes winner was offside but who cares we won and are one step closer to Wembley

    JPT area final

    Seeing as our away form is far better than our home form its a good thing. Most important thing is we are in the Area Final - which way round the games are is secondary. On a side note I actually felt a bit sorry for the PNE fans last night - a once great proud club being dragged through the mud...

    Hussey

    Good luck to him - never quite good enough on a consistent basis in Championship or even League 1. League 2 is probably the right level for him. Hope we can sort out Blair Adams on permanent basis as he is a far better player and if both are frees and wages similar then that's a good bit of...

    Adams is here to stay

    If he is on a free then that's damn good business as he is a decent player at this level and maybe even Championship (dare we dream?) - if there is a sell on clause then lets hope he performs so well that when it comes around we are bitching about that then when a Prem club is willing to py...

    Underrated Players

    Now that Baker has shown some improved form Murphy is todays scapegoat - at WHL some genius was even blaming him for every Spurs goal! I think part of the problem is Murphy is actually quite small by todays standards of massive keepers and doesn't look imposing - Dunne looks more the part yet...

    League One Manager of The Month

    Maybe Joy has lumped all the saved rent on Robins going (insider knowledge ;) ) and can then afford to pay the lowered rent for the next few years?

    £10m shares claim for GODIVA

    Maybe you have the time to bother calculating the average seat rent in the championship over the past half decade but I haven't and the purpose of the mini calc was simply to show that you can "prove" pretty much anything by manipulating statistics. Every case is different and each ground has...

    £10m shares claim for GODIVA

    So the average annual cost to these average league 1 clubs for each seat is £1,065,000/53337 = £19.97 Ricoh holds 32500 therefore rent should be 32500 x £19.97 = £648,939 Not saying that's a correct way of setting rent but shows what bollox you can come up with when playing with averages and...

    Hands off donny!

    Nice to see our manager being linked with other clubs rather than the sack - shows he must be doing something right. Doubt he would go when things are going well here - only reason would be if he is being blocked on transfers behind the scenes but there seems to be no evidence of that.

    £10m shares claim for GODIVA

    Torchy - the figure is probably quite accurate at that time and was approx what the agreed formula would have given but subsequent conversations with the Higgs Charity revealed that the figure that was being discussed by them and the club was lower than this. To be fair at the time no one...

    Rob Earnshaw anyone?

    Would be a useful backup if Cody and ROD go - least the Redbirds (or whatever they now are) can do for us having stolen Gunnar and Big Ben
