I think its more to do with Brau can play as a winger when we have no current cover for Mason Clark

Wright is hot and cold, the other 2 are basically stored in a deep freeze.
We’ve made a top 5 squad stronger, our goals come from all over, admit another forward might help but we’ll still be ok, it was at the back we needed to improve and looks like we have

No chance of 3 Marquee signings.

There was the change from u23 to u21 to take into account. Perhaps the idea was to create more mobility for players re loans I don't know.

Only if we sell at least 1 player for a large sum. Think we will get a new CB, and then possibly a forward who can play across the top. Will potentially need a second RB too.

None of the players were playing for Robins in the end and I think he (Wright) was probably carrying his ligament problem when he came back

I can see a CB and Forward. 1 Permenant 1 loan.

What’s ur first statement based on?

Yes he has, but his first job is to get off to a good start. That's how King will judge him and he stated he was brought in last season because Robins start was poor again.

My perception. From Stoke away when they failed to turn up on opening day, to the roll-over Leeds and then Derby....

I mean the difference in being 17th and then going on a club record run of wins is arguably proof of it.

I'd have sacked Robins after Leeds in retrospect. I think he was lucky to be given a chance to reconstruct the coaching staff on the hoof.

So towards the end of the season when we were struggling to win were the players not playing for Lampard then?

We've brought in a very good defender and sold a reserve defender. We've brought in a very good GK that we were desperate for last season. He looks even better than Dovin. The saves he made were top class. I can't see him letting in 2 goals from 2 average shots like we were getting last season.

Not really - generally the side was fine. They had the games where they struggled against teams they couldn’t break down - and were massively unlucky against Sunderland.
under Robins - they looked a team devoid of ideas, and that derby game was an absolute disaster, I would argue however that he was unlucky to be sacked when he was given he’d won 2/3 but they looked like a side that had checked out

Which coincided with the signing of Grimes.
I wouldn't say downed tools. More like confidence blasted out of the water.

I wonder how much Udogie would be in this window?

At least we can't have another Jamie Paterson rumour this year. Jerry Yates anyone

Squad was small last season and we suffered for it. One in one out would only cut it if we’re upgrading the likes of Allen and Bidwell and BTA.

The point about quantity is that it’s very difficult to argue Lampard just wants less turnover than every CCFC manager ever in his first summer. Which implies the problem is the funds. Very early still, I just worry we’re relying on a huge bid for MvE or Wright going and the former doesn’t seem to be appearing and the latter can’t happen until the season starts. And to be honest I’m still getting over us losing Gus late and not replacing.

You've got to think that the wage bill won't be allowed to increase too much on last season. That might imply that a higher earner or two may still leave...

I think this is probably the main issue. I’m not sure we can afford a wage bill that makes us a serious promotion contender. Especially with Brum and Wrexham throwing cash about on top of the parachute clubs. I bet it’s a good summer to be an average Championship player.

We've already replaced MvE tbf. I don't see KKH as much of a downgrade, if at all.
I'm choosing to take the opinion we're after a better standard of player so it's harder to get done.
I guess we'll find out soon, I would like to see at least 1 this week tbf.

Yeah MvE we have, but then we’re back to one RB of slightly worse quality than we had. Not urgent though. It’s Wright I really worry about. Lots of noise, may well not get a bid until late, and our only goal scoring threat outside Rudoni. Not the sort of position you want to be scrabbling around last minute for. Hopefully someone drops £10m on MvE this week and it’s all moot.
