    Good win, and delighted for Walker to get 2 goals. Hopefully give him some more belief. By no means getting carried away with him, but this time last year Jamie Allen was in a situation where many of us (me included), would have been happy to see him moved on. And low and behold he came back...

    We also were planning JCS who would have been a permanent so clearly we are using the budget that was going on him on other targets.

    Transfer Shouts

    It is about getting the best calibre player. We have had some very successful loans over past few seasons, often them being the best players in the squad. I would much rather some class/exciting loans than bang average players on permanent deals just for the sake of being able to say we have...

    Transfer Shouts

    I get all that, and obviously as we have progressed we are in turn spending more year on year and there is less finance available to spend, unless we sell a player. And yes having expensive deadwood using up considerable chunk of the budget isn't helpful or ideal at all, that is certainly a...

    But panic happens every single summer, last year it was the same after we lost to Sevilla 4-0, there was concern about Moore and the lack of transfers a year ago. The same arguments would have been advanced about lack of budget etc etc. And yet we improved. I don't think Robins sounds overtly...

    By one week yes, the point is there is no need to panic and the replacements for McCallum and Ostigard weren't signed until in or around or after the season started. It is a month until the season starts!

    Transfer Shouts

    I wouldn't be surprised if we brought someone in today, think it would be a good boost if we did ahead of Leamington and then the training camp away in Spain. But we have got to remember when we announced our signings last year: 1st July - Ben Sheaf 2nd July -Martyn Waghorn 3rd July - Simon...

    Isn't that what we would rather want? Better quality? Or a big squad of average players who just aren't going to feature.

    Transfer Shouts

    No we won't. We were a very very good side last year, and not far off being a consistent challenger for top 6. Whilst I agree not replacing would be a severe mis step we wouldn't go down. We have a lot of very good players who will only get better. I've thought for a long while that this is...

    A very very good interview. Comes across very well, better than I thought! Seems buzzing and very happy! Excited to see him in Sky Blue!

    Transfer Rumour Kasey Palmer - Confirmed

    A smart signing, at a good age and clearly has ability which if we can unlock and fit into our system he could flourish. Gives us that depth as well which we haven't had for the last 2 seasons so that is a big positive.

    New Kit !

    I think Ryton is just too small, ideally we would have thr academy and 1st team all one one site. But as the club said and are/have done the pitches have been upgraded which is certainly no cheap operation so they've fulfilled Robins wish for that. I've said it for a while, to me linking...

    The club have an option with Dabo for an additional year, not sure about Rose.

    Love this time of year, the hysteria when we don't sign players we link ourselves too, panic that we haven't signed anyone, despite most teams in the league also having not made a signing. JCS is just like the situation we had last year as others have mentioned with Ostigard and Matty James. I...

    Transfer Shouts

    Well yes but it isn't down to him. Unless someone pays the money we want he won't be going anywhere. He loves it here and I think another season with us we both would benefit in a year's time.

    Transfer Shouts

    I would definitely say no to those. Got a good friend who is a Cardiff fan and he says they aren't good enough. They have both been there a long while and not an upgrade on what we have. Vaulks passing isn't good enough, and Pack doesn't have the energy we need either. So both would be below...

    Transfer Shouts

    I don't think it was odd at all, Moore played against Bournemouth (a game we had to win to keep any chance of playoffs alive), we lost and the season was over. So Wilson came in for the last 3 games to get some game time and give Moore a rest as this was his first full season of playing in...

    Well if that was the case that would be dissapointing.
