Interesting point made on the EFL on Quest show last night. Their league run has only been against teams in the bottom half of the league. Still, you have to beat what's in front of you, and they have done that and built a good run. They will be far more tested when we play them.
Richards being subbed early was interesting? Someone suggested that it was maybe due to his lack of passing to team mates.. And DM was making a point. I think potentially that DM was shielding him from the foul upon foul he seemed to be on the receiving end.. That the ref did bugger all about.?
Their last six away games have yielded 4 wins and 2 draws but Portsmouth are they only decent team they have come up against and that was way back at the start of that run in late November (1-1). They are no mugs but their run of three away wins on the roll has been against Rochdale, Burton and Plymouth.
As RA says, Robinson has a good record as a manager, its just I can't stand the fella, last season he moaned at the fourth official in our game at the KM from the first minute to the last. If we put it together we are half decent ourselves as our goal tally and goals against column indicate with strengths at our level through out the team. Our work rate and covering the ground as a team must be up there with most sides in the division with James and Holidays fitness up there with the best of them the ground they cover I would guess. If we play well we can match any team in the division as we have seen in the first half of the season,but off the ball we are the best I have seen in our division this season, disrupting the other sides momentum on a regular basis, keeping our shape and generally working hard for each other, and when the game is coming to an end we have kept our concentration and generally run the games down quite well by dominating possession of the ball. Long may it continue, Darren's voice may have something to do with it, he would scare me to death.

He's been subbed at a similar time in the last few games (except, WHU) which I think is just protecting him however now we have more options he may not need to be so protective.
