Not for me

Eccles ahead of Grimes. Insane.

Coventry have been in good form recently, but I believe in Robins and hopefully we can sneak a point

0-0 or 1-0 win

Grimes hasn't come here to sit on the bench if he's fit and playing well enough.
Quite possibly one of the first few names on the team sheet, no question.

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.

Do our fans ever learn?

Ticketmaster getting some practice in for our Wembley tickets

He lurks on here every day but does not post - its tragic.

Lurking is normal on a forum. Obsessing over another forum user is way more tragic.

Why would Grimes not start? He’ll be first name on the team sheet. It seems likely to me that we will go with Grimes, Eccles and Sheaf and Torp coming on possibly.

 

[Para1140]

People have very short memories of how shit our midfield was with no forward pressing or creativity with Sheef, Torp and Eccles. Alan coming in was the starting point of our upturn before Grimes arrived. Alan ran with the ball and pressed creating space and putting us on the front foot instead of being a backwards and sideways team.

If Rudoni is out then play Alan until/if Patterson gets up to match fitness and then play him as a number 10

Think it's going to be a great atmosphere and a comfortable win, I'll go for a 2-0 with Wright getting at least one.

What do I need to learn? He's looked pretty awful in his brief spells thus far. He cost us a goal vs Preston and him falling over the ball vs Oxford led to a threatening cross by Brannagan which led to the corner where they nearly equalised. Hardly a great start.

I wasn't overly enthused about the prospect of signing him anyway as I didn't think he was needed. If he wants to remain here beyond the end of the season he's going to have to do considerably more in a short space of time to warrant an extension.

'I wasn't overly enthused about the prospect of signing him anyway as I didn't think he was needed' - I never would of guessed

Did he celebrate in front of you when he scored against us for Swansea or something?

Not sure where you're getting him costing us a goal against Preston from! Harsh to lie the blame solely on his shoulders. Give the guy a chance for fuck sake! judge him at the end of the season after he's slapped the winner in at Wembley

No I'm just not a brainless happy clapper that clearly dribbled over the promo vid and I actually watch games.

I’ve noticed a direct correlation between people who use this image and people who don’t attend many games. Anyone else noticed this?

Ah the art of debating on this forum on show again
