Agreed, Swansea this season have played him deeper, in front of the back 4, and it’s inevitably made his attacking output drop. Sheaf will almost definitely play when he’s fit and available. The last spot will be between Rudoni and Torp. Though, I wouldn’t discount Rudoni playing a few games at...

Signing Matt Grimes is also up there as one of the best imo. We can’t compete with the likes of Leeds, Burnley and Sheffield Utd.

On the train now, feeling confident for a win. Signing their best player is a right kick in the teeth. ‘he left ‘cause your shit…’

I find it more plausible that Robins was threatened by a high flyer coach at the time, personally. Where we were when Viveash came in, we were in L2 so there was plenty of time to grow in the role. It’s been said that he was apparently quite an alienating figure with the squad in 23/24 with his...

Deliberately undermining your manager doesn’t make sense in any case. The costs involved getting rid of Robins and his staff outweigh the costs of just hiring top coaches for MR. I completely get that the owner may have lost faith weeks before he swung the axe and King even admitted he had...

Pretty sure that @Saddlebrains reported that Robins was taking training sessions that he never had to do when Viveash and Lawrence were at the club. So the coaching setup was below par and that was something that both Robins and King more or less admitted publicly. It’s academic at this point...

He’s just not good enough at our level, it really is as simple as that and there’s a reason both Lampard and Robins have him way down the pecking order.

The interest in BTA should tell us that he’s not a bad player and we should probably keep him. Letting him go and having Basette as the only deputy ST would be a bad move. BTA was a MR signing and if Lampard wants another profile instead, then I wouldn’t mind if we sold him in the summer as...

The Peterborough lad will be a great signing in 2-3 years time. With some of the players we’ve got in the squad, we need to add players that are in a position to help us ‘win now’. Grimes is a profile of midfielder that can immediately help us get results. He’s got a lot of attributes that are...

I’m agonisingly close to the magical 1400 threshold so hoping 1300+ does it for too!

I’ll be honest, I did have a quick look at Sheff U’s Twitter.

I’m not defensive, it was ridiculous just how many conspiracies there were around Robins being undermined. It got to the point where everyone was to blame for our form other than Robins. Reality is, the manager is the single most influential person for recruitment; coaching and match day...

They’ve both been overlooked. BTA has spent a lot of time being played out of position and Simms playing 10-20 minutes here and there. They’ve both often had 20-30 minutes cameos and it’s not a lot of time to impact a game.

How can the squad get toxic but not around Robins personally? If the were frustrations around playing time and positions, then how is that not a reflection on Robins himself? Even if the players didn’t like the coaches, that again is a reflection on Robins. Robins was a great manager for the...

Sakamoto will become a good role player, he isn’t a stand out starting calibre player. Players like EMC and Wright actually are.

We were on the verge of signing 2 wingers and presumably bidding for Grimes in the background. It’s not outside of the realms of possibility imo.

The first report earlier in the week said we’d had 2 bids rejected too. It’s been going on for longer than expected, now the cat is out of the bag, @Jimmy87 was this the CM you referred to when saying we were speaking to a ‘RB & CM?’

Yes, the first 5 games and then another 2 after then. My point was never about total starts, was it? MR just couldn’t decide who to play play where this season.

There’s a difference in starts and sub appearances and you know that. After September, Simms didn’t make a single consecutive start until Jan. It was the same as BTA, who’d everyone had written off until he started a few games and scored goals.

Alongside bringing Kitching, Allen and Simms into the side… Each of those players have made a positive impact in the area of the pitch they’re playing in.
