I can promise you that if McGuane and Kelly are both fully fit and both in the same form they’ve been in for the last few games, McGuane will start over Kelly every single game.
Did Kelly score? Sorry, I can’t remember what involvement he had in the first goal. I’m not saying he’s bad. Far from it. My point is, Maguane and Brannagan are the type of players that force other teams to think about their shape and how they setup. Those two, with Gorrin sat behind, would/should dominate most midfields in this division. Physical, strong, hard in the challenge and all able to turn the ball over quickly and advance the play.
Orrrr have Gorrin in CDM with Brannagan at CM with Henry as a CAM/10? I think Henry has been better when played centrally. He seems lost out wide. Regardless of the link up play with Long, that’s mainly due to Sam’s new found appetite to get forward. Shodipo and Obita would be good out wide, unless we bring in an out and out winger to rotate with Obita. Holland?
I bet @RyanioBirdio and his socks are happy this wasn’t Stevens..
Just checked our home form against them on Rage Online (what an excellent website BTW) and I'm feeling pessimistic now! Plus add in our enforced break and rust and it'll be difficult for us against a Rovers team scrapping to get out of the threat of relegation.

So how long do you give him to get fit? By now Winnall should be fit and with KR introducing him as a sun as he has done abs starting him in the puss pot trophy would suggest he is fit. I would like nothing more than Winnall to reproduce the form that we all know he had.Funny way of spelling steroids
Unfair. He's been injured for most of that. He might be a stroke of genius, he might be an epic fail. Too early to judge.
For the 2nd it looks to me (interpreting because they’re just off screen for that split second) that Taylor is being kept onside by their left CB who is staying back a little because of our other player (was it Henry?) who is offside and walking back and “not interfering with play”.
Another thing to consider is when the 2nd goal is scored, Leahy hold his hands up to blame Harries,the player who played Taylor onside.
KR is a decent guy who does an awful lot of good for this football club.
Yep, their reaction says it all. They all half-heartedly put arms in the air to appeal for offside as Taylor collects the ball, but when he puts it in the net they know they messed up as a defensive line. If they truly believed he was offside they'd be charging over going apoplectic at the lino.
I feel this is a "petty" little dig at some of my earlier comments, which in fairness, although he has a history of being quite stubborn and egotistical at times, might have been a bit harsh on Robbo.
I have, because I’ve met him multiple times over the years going back to 2011 and I don’t particularly like him. That’s my experience and nobody has a right to judge or comment on that as they aren’t privy to those conversations or encounters. It’s also fine for people to point out when he behaves poorly or oddly, or contradicts himself, just as it’s fine for people to commend him when he behaves admirably. He does both of these things. Other people are free to like him and to have had good experiences with him. There’s no right or wrong when it comes to whether you like a certain food and it’s the same with people - everybody has people who like them and people who don’t. Pretty sure that tribalism isn’t the answer, but it’s a popular technique in this day and age.
