Interesting Robins said that Walker would start over Max but Max is just fitter at this time and put an unbelievable shift.

Paul Cook - top man he was loving it - knows Robins Mills what a twat - as a ex Reading captain you wouldn’t expect any difference - 3 pints of Moretti enjoyed that !

The big thing for me tonight is the team's heads haven't gone down following recent results.
We are going to lose a lot of games, but if we can bounce back like tonight, that is going to be one of our biggest assets.

Massive game against Forest up next, try and get some momentum

I agree, he added something we were missing. Deserves another start and probably will score a few as he gets in the right places.

What a great win. To beat the table toppers after recent indifferent performances and results surely says we have the ability to compete in this league. It takes time and I have said many times we have the a good squad and one or two are certainly capable at this level. Godden is a goal scorer make no mistake. Sheaf will continue to improve. Hamer is a very good player and we still have Dabo getting back to fitness along with Walker yet to come in and make his impact.
So can we please stop the critical crap that we have seen this last week or so and drop the pessimism ?

Mucca Mad Boys · Oct 30, 2020

A few observations on the new 5-3-2 shape from me, for what they’re worth:

1) the 3 CMs gave Hamer and Shipley freedom to get forward and press higher up the pitch
2) offered more protection for the CBs too, as AMs in the pass bypassed relatively easily
3) we were able to keep possession a bit better and work the ball up the pitch slowly up the pitch
4) as a result, the WBs were able to get the ball higher up the pitch
5) Gooden was not isolated. Biamou was able to play a decent role in pressing and flicking the ball on - can play a role
6) having a spare striker allowed a bit more fluidity to cover midfield when one of the CMs was out of position

I thought O’Hare looked good in the 3 CMs when he came on too, he’s got the work rate and bravery to operate well there. Personally, I’d start Hamer, Kelly/Sheaf and COH going forward.

Never ever expected that. Bra bloody vo

AFCCOVENTRY · Oct 30, 2020

Good interview by Hamer. Honest and says he needs to get smarter with his Fouls but says it’s part of his game. Young lad still. He will learn.

Yes you'd just have to.wondrer if the spirit and optimism built from last season was beginning to start to ebb away.

Radegast for me. Same brewery as Pilsner Urquell. Lovely pint.

Tuesday's performance was bleak. Robins identified the issues, made the necessary changes and motivated the team to get some belief in. The criticism on Tuesday was justified as is the praise tonight

Skybluefaz · Oct 30, 2020

Realisation for me today. Our best side probably doesn't contain Liam Kelly anymore.

Good to hear. Means there's a decent chance he will learn.

Tonight's team has earned the right to start the next game, except perhaps McF for Rose

I'm not sure we can definitively say that yet. We're still conceded 2 goals per game, perhaps we're missing that cooler head in midfield.

6 Generations · Oct 30, 2020

Great performance by our lads. To beat a team that was unbeaten at the top of the league and had Puskas in their side was impressive.
Well done to Mark Robins. He was willing to change and got it right tonight.

Massively disappointed with the performance tonight.

This will have marked 10 days since I started my diet, including zero beers. Cracked open the first Guinness at 9.45, and I'm already on my third can.

Confidence rapidly ebbing away, I'm afraid.

Why have you knocked bears on the head !

We should get a few more games on sky now.

I'd have brought him on instead of O'Hare tbh

I've got an Aldi selection of craft ales and lagers. I had a tension headache from the last 10 minutes

larry_david · Oct 30, 2020

Delighted to be honest. I'd rather it was 3-1 but like MR said who gives a shit.

I think I love mccallum. Him cropping up with 3-4 goals a season as a wing back is just, well it's magic.

Sheaf is clearly fitter now and is proving to be worth the chase despite that weird ball for their equaliser. We are clearly a work in progress and this will happen.

Shit league 1 teams like Rochdale or minnows Sunderland won't punish mistakes but lucas joao will.

We move forward and I drink more more!
