    According to our manager WE are going to absolutely hammer somebody before long so there.

    Need a performance on the road to reward the travelling fans. Lately performances and results have been poor.

    If we play like we did on Tuesday and you play to your best I can see at least a 5-0 hammering of us. Morale is low in the squad right now and our manager seems to be watching a completely different game when given interviews. Apparently we played well against Hartlepool. A team who hadn't scored away from home in over 8 hours ( 5 and a bit games) and they easily beat us 3-1 and it could have been more. Yeah we absolutely played well. :rolleyes:

    Starting with Robinson you might as well start with 10 men. Makes the decision to sell Crankshaw even more baffling, he wasn’t great but offered more than Theo and Caolan

    Yet Robinson has played nearly 150 in the championship. I'm not saying his signing was what we needed and we shouldn't be signing a player that another league 2 club doesn't want but we cannot start with the same line up as we have been doing. Robinson has to offer more than what Gilliead has been and we need support upfront for an isolated Cook.

    You’re right, the current formation or team isn’t working so it does need to change, I just didn’t see an awful lot from Lavery or Robinson on Tuesday that made me think they’re the answer.

    No different to now then, because that's what it's like starting with Gilliead.

    I agree, but I think it's worth a shot to at least try something a bit different from the get go rather than waiting until either half way through the game when we are already chasing it, or 5 minutes from the end when all hope is lost.

    Let's give Robinson the benefit of the doubt until he's had a couple of 90 minute games. 20 minutes here or there is not going to get anything out of a player.

    Robinson has height and a little pace and could be the player we need but we will never know without a run of games, Sometimes players that are poor at one club score for fun at others but need the confidence of a manager that can handle them
    It is beyond belief that such as Gilliard and Evans are picked in front of him

    Might suit the team and the manager's tactics this match - play on the counter and try and grab a goal or two.

    Whether anyone can score and whether they can stop the opposition remains to be seen.

    Yet if we play like the 70 minutes against Bristol I'd expect a win. This team has the capability to rip teams apart, but the finishing is killing us. It really depends which City team turns up. That's league 2 for you....

    So half hour of anticipation and excitement followed by a long old disappointing day.
    Sounds just like Xmas

    2 hours to the game starting, only 2 pages on this thread.
    Apathy rules ( justifiably ).

    Ah those magical pre match mornings, where anything seems possible and optimism abounds.

    And then the team sheet comes out.

    Out for a late lunch today, so will catch up later. Yep a bit of apathy here. I think eleven games and one victory dampens enthusiasm.
