Apparently you don't think Robins should have played him in the first team. As stated above I think Robins has been quite odd on this. Although it fits with his chopping and changing, not knowing his best 11 and general poor use of subs who never seem to impact a game positively.

I'm not sure many pros would see being picked for a club's junior team as anything but a bit of a snub by the manager. It's hardly great on the CV is it? But let's hope he gets some game time against Preston and scores.

I suspect players going somewhere in their career are different. We need different and this team needs shaking up. Robins seems to want compliant players who narrowly do what they are told. It isn't working.

If 'grounding" is being turned into a passionless, predictable player, who doesn't raise their voice or opinions, then no thanks. We seem to have plenty of those already.

Quite a strange take. He didn't just 'walk into the side'. He was chosen by Robins as a first team striker for a few games, got some plaudits, now isn't getting any minutes even as a sub and is now put in the U21's. Just all looks a bit odd by Robins.

Think you missed the point That's what I'm saying. Wingers aren't big 6fters. Which is partly why he can't run up and down the wing for a whole game.

At the moment Haji isn't being played as an out and out forward. He's being played as a winger who largely doesn't support his fullback, In fact I don't think he has the engine or physique to do that. So at the moment he's pretty much a luxury player. If he's played it should be upfront as a two.

Collins, Kitching and Rudoni were all in teams that got relegated from the Championship as well...

Tbh I not sure the 'Gotcha' people use on here about people writing off Wright and Simms is quite as powerful as they think it is...

You repeatedly argued they were all 'excellent' about a week ago. Now they're 'generally good'. What will they be like next week?

FA cup games though.

To be honest the Leeds 1:1 wasn't a great performance we played embarrassingly defensive. 1:1 at home to Southampton is that spectacular? A win at relegation Huddersfield? Not knocking the run but it wasn't THAT spectacular football. Even the Man U game we were awful first half.

It's not though is it? To get promoted you have to be on it all the while. Likewise let games just pass you by and you will have a serious problem later. Games aren't worth more than 3 points at the end of the season.

What Bassette potentially gives us is a player that makes something happen with his pace. The other one barely mentioned is Tavares. Who came on as a sub and changed a game or two. Unlike Simms.

If we enter the relegation zone it's a game changer, our fans will absolutely lose it and the pressure on Robins and Doug will be enormous.

Robins seems to develop favourites based on personality not necessarily what the team needs. BTA seems to be flavour of the month now and Bassette the reverse. But generally Robin's behaviour around Bassette just seems to show his confusion and panic.

It really isn't. We sold our quality players.

We saw a fighting, hardworking reaction in the Blackburn game after the Leeds embarrassment but it's a different matter to do that week in week out. I think we lack any real quality so we have to choose the best 11 who will most likely fight for it every game.

There's just no real quality in the team despite the big money spent. Recruitment has been really poor in terms of bang for the buck. We are poor all over the pitch.

On the naughty chair.
