DC will be going, DC has restored a level of confidence within himself, he will now be seeking a greater salary and bigger budget to work with. A great shame but he will leave the club and it looks like another season of rebuild. I have heard the rumour reference to a return of a former director of ...

The trouble is they've already been selling coach tickets at the standard rates before last night.

I understand the club have now requested additional coaches.

Benhall-Robin

I was told on Saturday that they had sold 300 in advance sales.

The red army over-spill appears to make up the corner of the C&G. It would have been useful to get another group in block 7 which is currently showing as empty. Seats not selling well, I wonder if this is a result of the discount for 2x terrace tickets with supporters instead opting for this opt...

An absolutely mammoth 3 fixtures to decide our League 1 destiny, which falls back into our hands.

2 homes games first up, leave any insecurities at the turnstiles, all 3 home sides need to be heard.

Lets fill it up.

Benhall-Robin

I cannot take much more of this, neither can my poor wife who quietly checks scores to assess potential mood of husband.

We need a packed out but more importantly noisy Whaddon Road Saturday, Tuesday.

Benhall-Robin

We do not look capable.

Benhall-Robin

The key missing ingredient from then to now is the strikers, Goodwin and Street, or one of the 2 with Lloyd were able to compete well for each ball and even if we didn't win it there was always good pressure which enabled us to fall on a second ball and start another wave of attack.

Benhall-Robin

Should we go down, which looks increasingly likely by the week. Given the atmosphere that is created does not travel well and with the understanding that very few clubs would bring more than 700 away fans in League 2, is it finally time to give home fans both ends and incorporate the away support in...

Benhall-Robin

The defence may have been resolute and put bodies on the line but it was their shanks up to the strikers which were our downfall, we couldn't win a header or hold the ball up, and with the midfield sat deep we weren't collecting the second balls. We were inviting them onto us and got what we deserve...

Benhall-Robin

Another poor showing, after Wigan I'd have hoped for a reaction and an improved performance. What is clear is that Wycombe are better than us and dealt with us very comfortably. The tactic was bizarre, we were getting nowhere with the long punts to the strikers and we were too deep to pick up the se...

Benhall-Robin

Reading expected to be deducted 2 more points. We’ll have to wait and see if it helps us. I’d rather we had back our own two points we binned against them. Obviously, however that is football and we were not good enough to win the match. Reading shaded the second 45. Anyway, this has to be seen as ...

Benhall-Robin

Lloyd is going to struggle to play with the level of intensity he's shown for the remainder of the season.

We need legs who can press and chase down things down, Keena is a goalscorer and our best finisher but his style does not suit the way we are trying to play.

Benhall-Robin

We did very well to hang on, we were second best for large parts of the 1st leg and they were the better side at WR too.

The lad Betsy was a real handful.

Benhall-Robin

I wouldn't read too much into the ticket number when purchasing, I'd expect circa 450-500 to travel.

Benhall-Robin

Peterborough wont get more than 250k for JCH

Benhall-Robin

Goodwin, Street and Freestone are all likely to be fit.

Benhall-Robin

If Alfie goes to Birmingham for a sizeable fee then it squashes the clubs argument reference, "we got the best price we could." The Club ultimately set the value when they told Alfie the release clause. A huge error, no doubt Alfie told Charlton the number which was needed, if not it was a...

Benhall-Robin

Intensity is key. We've got to get at these teams, be in their face, win battles and scrap it out.

I don't think it'll be a period of football for the purist, but we have to make some significant progress in catching and overtaking those above.

Benhall-Robin

Looked to be tactical, with 2 similar minded wider players coming on to offer an outlet.

Benhall-Robin

A point is probably a fair outcome, we massively surrendered the initiative at the start of the second half. While we had our moments in the second half, with a few efforts over the bar and some set-pieces, perhaps in the end we were slightly relieved to hear the final whistle. A point is a decent e...

Benhall-Robin

Agree with much of HamTown's predictions.

A right wing back, an attacking midfielder and a striker.

We've not had much luck with injuries so far this season, relative continuity within the 11 will be key if we have any chance.

Benhall-Robin

Got my ticket today, weather look dry for the time of the match, which is great given the away end.

Little media noise on the injuries in midfield, DC cards close to his chest.

Benhall-Robin

I haven't seen any news, but is their new away end scheduled to be open?

Hopefully a good turnout there.

Benhall-Robin

It isn't going to happen unfortunately, I am sure we will see improvements but this group is not good enough. Reinforcements will arrive, but the deficit is too much. I am glad Darrell Clarke is in now and has some time to address this, otherwise we are in serious threat of back to back relegations.

Benhall-Robin

I am all for a positive mindset and clearly there are ample games to pull it back, however I just cannot see it. The group look on their knees, what a task for the new manager. I feel the midfield and defence can hold their own if the injury list allows, however the strike force is that of an averga...

Benhall-Robin

Cotterill is not interested I am afraid.

The fairytale will have to wait for now. Shame though.

I doubt that.

350 maybe?

What a place Whaddon Road becomes under the lights, notably it was against a big club which naturally increases the attendance and raises the atmosphere. I took a group of lads yesterday and each commented on what a fantastic advert that was for the Club. They loved the atmosphere which was bubbling...

Benhall-Robin

I also buy into the C&G actually being ok for generating noise, I'm usually in the paddock and when it does get going. I.e. Sunderland last season and Ipswich too then the noise does travel and it does sound impressive. We simply do not have a fan base who will support using their voices on a re...

2-2 at Dover having gone 2 goals ahead, 2 cracking strikes from them..... if i recall correctly.

Benhall-Robin

Big, strong and athletic with age on his side, it is an inevitability. It would be a shame to lose him this summer, he still lacks that consistency and I feel another season with us would help his development and obviously our cause too. It could be a very big transition this summer, which is always...

Benhall-Robin

I enjoyed the individual player renditions pre kick off as we worked our way around the 11.

Such a shame that the Prestbury Road end is so mute nowadays.

Benhall-Robin

I see there is a Robins Ramble podcast as well, good to have lots of content.

Benhall-Robin

Rae in theory could be a great signing to steady the midfield. We need Ferry fit and to stay fit so we can move Broom up the pitch. Who plays in the midfield when Broom, Sercombe, Bonds and Rae are all fit? We definitely go long too often, this generally comes from a high press where we don't have t...
