    Robins v Robins?

    I have a feeling, based on nothing scientific at all that this is where our run ends. 2 counter-attacking sides but I don't believe Bell will tweak sufficiently to achieve anything. The midfield 3 has to change. I don't believe Tabiner is worthy of a place at the moment. We have create more going forward and so maybe this means Tracey and Bogle up front and Lankester just behind. This should give us options down the sides and through the middle. I would still be playing JKL at the back but LB seems content to let the Canadian international be recalled due to lack of gametime. Connolly is one of 'our' players but is less calm on the ball and his distribution going forward is nowhere near as good as JKL's.
    Apart from that, I assume Long is available for a bench seat and could be brought on if necessary in the last 10 -30 minutes.
    One final question - what's happened to Thibaut? He seems to have disappeared without trace.
    2-1 defeat from a 1-0 lead.

    I think that we can manage a draw today. I would start with Bogle and Tracey upfront and replace Bogle with Long when needed. I agree with Lankaster in behind and also agree with your Tabiner comments. It's a bit of a conundrum with JKL, as you say if he doesn't play there must be a good chance of a recall which would definitely be a big blow. However I do believe that it would be very harsh to drop Connolly and I actually thought that he was our MOM against Colchester. Maybe with the games coming thick and fast they will alternate in the next few fixtures or circumstances could change with injuries, who knows.

    So still no JKL. Powell in for Sanders. Not the change I would have made. Still no Bogle or Long starting. The latter I understand but is Bogle STILL not fit?

    Hurm, game of not really 2 x halves, but of 2 x formats. After 20 mins of pressing but no real chances. We get a goal from nowhere, then we change format? Understand trying to not stretch players coming back. Bogle comes on but does well and holds up the ball. But for who? After Cheltenham score the first, we do not look like getting any response. Their second goal, Crewe mistake, (Mickey looks tired needs a game or 2 rest) but well taken and they hold out. Long only 6-7 minutes plus extra time, difficult to do anything, he needs 20+ minutes.
    That should of been a point. The Long throws, other teams, watched this all last season and closing this out. Kenny, please sort out dead ball plays, the ball needs to get past the first opposition player.
    Frustrating, but at least the teams around us faltered.... comments

    Given your obvious ability to see into the future Gazan, (2-1 defeat, having gone a goal up) I wondered if you had any thoughts on tomorrow's Euromillions or Saturdays Lotto?

    Sadly we know that good things come to an end. I?m not concerned about it all. I?d take a draw at MK and then win the two home games. Up the Alex!
