I think refereeing is pretty bad at whatever level you find. Controversial opinion, but I think the way we treat referees in this country is slightly mad. We think they’re open to abuse, criticise every little mistake and yet it is administrators who are actually making the rules. No wonder...

Agreed. A PL CM loan would be ideal.

Yeah agreed. Any permanent purchases now would be a bit of a gamble. You’re either banking on them being premier league quality, which assumes we go up (not guaranteed) or high standard championship in which case there is a risk they are only useful for 5 months. Even our best players I’m not...

Glad Doug has seen the value in loans. Makes most sense at this point with our position. Based on past performances a good signing at this level, but need him to reach that level.

Not convinced it’s the quality we need to get promoted, but will judge on performances 👍🏻

Yeah absolutely agreed that Lampard philosophy being tested. That said I think he will be cautious with BTA

I think if he could come on as sub that would be beneficial. Rather him find his feet in a dead rubber than a league match.

I always felt that Robins was keen to get players back as soon as possible where as Lampard seems very keen to give them as much time as possible. The latter is probably the right approach although frustrating.

Defo a pattern emerging here. Always crazy to me when a player has so much talent that they would squander it like that.

Do we know of any progress being made with this?

If he was back it would be as a sub I’d imagine

Yeah my other two I would put above it, but I stand by that’s an area that needs improvement. BTA is going to take some time to come back and I think having only either Wright or Simms to come on limits our options from the bench.

Haji a major concern for me. He looks totally void of confidence added to a bit healthy competition and depth. I accept it’s the most dangerous position in the market with the money involved, but if an opportunity arises we should consider it.

I think it’s less about numbers and more about what the squad needs. We need a CM, Winger and a Striker (admittedly the latter is tricky to find).

Spot on
