Every recruitment department has misses. Not every signing can be amazing. We’ve spent £40m and have £50m+ worth of talent in 4 players (Sheaf, Wright, Simms, MvE) plus an entire squad that we’ve not had since promotion to the championship of young players whose values will increase. I’ll...

I’m a big xg advocate but not after 5 games. We’ve yet to play a side who are favourites to be in the top 6 at the end of the season. The next international break is when data will begin to take shape.

Think he needs to get used to the speed of championship football. Got the ability. A few times has been a split second too late on a shot or cross and defenders have recovered. Would’ve been fine in League 1 but not in this league.

Brentford finished 5th in 14/15 and proceeded to spend 4 seasons finishing between 9th-11th. On the pitch they seemingly went backwards but they moved forward as a club to create the conditions to build the squad that finished 3rd in the following 2 seasons. Think we’ve maybe got ahead of...

Someone needs to show Doug the Brighton squad. Sold young players for incredible profits over the last 3/4 years but have consistently had old experienced heads to help them along. Even on Saturday in the starting lineup they had: Welbeck - 33 Milner - 38 Dunk - 32 James is exactly the type...

People mocked him but Mcsheffrey said over the summer that he hopes the new assistants are up to it as it wasn’t great when he played under Robins at Scunthorpe… Robins success has been tied to Adi until this point

They added an extra player in the middle and we couldn’t deal with it again. Same as Stoke and Bristol. Too easy to control games against us at the moment.

The two sub appearances against Bristol demonstrated the value Kasey can bring to the squad as an impact substitute against tired legs. Likewise the game against Oxford demonstrated why he isn’t good enough to be a starter. Not worried about him going to Hull as if that’s going to make them...

The Stoke goal and the reaction from the team to going behind, coupled with two sloppy goals conceded against a newly promoted side which nearly cost us, is enough to show that we need a dominant player/organiser/leader in either midfield or central defence.

For their second MvE went forward and Torp was covering but let the guy pick his spot. Think he is as culpable as Bidwell - didn’t close down quick enough.

Need an experienced centre half for me. We were conceding stupid goals back end of last season when Sheaf was protecting the back line so don’t think that will solve it.

Our sole issue is midfield. Yes most didn’t play well but when the system is inefficient it’s hard to play well. The defence had no protection and the attack had nobody linking it because the midfield was overrun. Can’t even really blame Allen too much because he isn’t a 6 This defeat was...

Is he a ball winning 6? Looks like he used to play 6 but has been effective further forward. Really feel like we’ll look a much better side with someone actually screening the defence rather than playing 3 8’s in front of them

Stoke D Oxford W Bristol D Norwich D Watford W Swansea W Leeds L Blackburn W Sheff Wed D Preston L Don’t think we’ll be at our absolutely best first 10. We typically never are under Robins. Think we’ll get off to a good start but nothing special (will be a miles better base than the last two...

No idea. More of a hope than an expectation. Could be wrong but feels like it will be the difference between getting promoted or not unless we are able to blow teams away offensively like Ipswich did and/or Thomas & Binks have improved a lot over the summer.

Definitely an experienced CB. Lati at CB in a 2 scares me (he was good in a 3 never a 2) whereas he was dependable at RB until he was carrying an injury

Think our automatics push depends on Gyok’s transfer. We’re currently a top 6 side that are two great signings (CM & experienced CB) away from being a side who can get 85+ points

If Wright is fully fit he starts left wing 100%. Top scorer & arguably best player last season. Annoying he went to Copa America as I would’ve backed him to kick on even further with a full pre-season with us but he hasn’t had much of one again. What’s great is that we don’t have to rush him...

Definitely not as inspiring as the other “experienced” players we’ve been linked with (Browne, Worrall) Promoted twice from this league but doesn’t look like he was a starter in either of those. Guess he is used to playing a bit part role. On paper is better than Palmer & Allen if we can move...
