Saw a stat that our last 16 is worse than Slade's 16.

Why 16?

If they’re all fit. I’ve lost track of our injuries.

Why 16?

Slade was only here for 16 I think.

Bayliss still out I think mate

 

[Cobi Jones's Dreads]

2-0 loss. Toothless naive performance, with many missed opportunities if you can believe that.

What are the chances it will get snowed off?

Do you have it bad in Cov?

I think we will struggle to get there coming from Gloucestershire. We live on the top a hill, with a couple of un-gritted roads to navigate been snowing solidly since about 9 last night.

There is none at all here. Unless something happens tonight then I don't think it will be off.

no bayliss in squad?????

 

[stevefloyd]

Be interesting if he plays the new guys from the start, personally he has the perfect comeback saying they have all been given chances now we need to do something different so stick them both in, I quite like the idea of sticking Bright upfront with Chaplin, takes pressure off Chaplin and Bright does have some skill, keeping the ball on the floor is better for us and don't play into their centre halves hands. Thomas hopefully can switch wings with Wakefield so with 2 wingers feeding the front 2 hopefully we can score a goal or 2

Fairly certain Bayliss was in training with the squad this morning, looking at the pictures on twitter.

 

[edgy]

Our squad now suits 4-5-1 or 4-2-3-1.

There is none at all here.

Doesn't seem to have stopped people taking a day off. No traffic at all this morning.

It was lovely!

No loss, Westbrooke , early days but is more than adequate CAM.

No loss. What are you smoking?

[cc84cov]

I think with Meyler signing this will let robins push Bayliss further forward now with Kelly & Meyler central

 

[edgy]

Bayliss in full training?

 

[Otis]

No loss. What are you smoking?

Often wondered that.

 

[block16]

Anybody know if Bakayoko is anywhere near fitness yet? Looked quality away at Walsall game before his injury and hasn’t really been given a fair crack. With striker situation clearing the path for him I’m itching to see him given a run of games!

 

[covcity4life]

bayliss no loss but jch is. come on lad lol

 

[Otis]

Geez, I hate it when I have to give you a like.

 

[shmmeee]

Spot on, calls for a target man etc are laughable

TBF I haven’t watched us for a few weeks, but all our strikers seemed to be lightweight and of a similar mould last time I did. We seemed to have little in the middle leading the line instead of dropping deep or wide. Maybe target man isn’t the right word but IMO they would all have played better with a partner like Max.

Well done! Tch! you've only gone and set Grendel's alarm off you numpty.

Yeah but I’ve muted Grendel long ago so not my problem

 

[Otis]

So if there was a poll, what would the largest percentage be, those who HAVE blocked him, or those that haven't?

Come on mate were a different side with Bayliss fact

Course we are. Westbrooke looks like he will be decent, but still a little raw yet.

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

I think we've now got players to fit into a 4-5-1, apart from our main problem of sticking the ball in the net. So I'd still like to fit 2 strikers on if possible.

So I'm going

Yes I like Westbrooke mate he’s got great feet reads the game well.like to see Bayliss play central tomo ahead of Kelly & Meyler as long as he’s fit etc
