    To get results away from home we needed to be more solid at the back, has Robins changed the defence that much to get results.
    I don't go to many away games, are we playing on the break or trying to take the game to the home side?

    Full backs

    2 decent players. That is the main difference in our defence. Moore is in his stride again, remember it took him a while to get going last season, and has been superb for the most of the last month or so. Foster has also got his form back. I reckon it's a pretty decent back 4. Steele behind them is as good as we could hope for too.

    We appear to be trying to win games in the 2nd half. Keep it solid, work our way into the game. Bringing Butterfield and Anderson on on Saturday was definitely a move to try and win the game, and worked a treat. Whatever his tactics are, they are working.

    RE: Full backs

    Tonights team will be very interesting against an attacking team inform. Probably the toughest task for Robins so far!

    Shades of Gudjon Thordarson

    He's got SIX defenders in there at the moment (if you include Colace & Doyle) - none of the back four are exactly lightweights either..

    Happy Days! :)

    how can you include Colace?

    He's a midfielder and he can't tackle

    I'd classify him as a defensive midfielder

    Not exacly a playmaker...

    It's hard to say what type of player Colace is, I still think there a lot more to come from him.
