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.

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

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

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.

Sure but you compare what they have compared to what we had when we went up and their priorities won't be limited to survival!

I see this season as critical or the players will start to want away and we're back to rebuilding...

Binks still had 25 appearances last season that are not covered at the moment. Let's hope they can get somebody in...

Yes there's a big jump between u21 and first team it has to be managed somehow. Some players are obviously much too good for the unders (like Bassette, for example) but not getting enough game time in the first team.

It could well be more than that too but either way, he'll still have to be careful not to over do it when he is better and fully fit.

Question then: Will our modest spend be enough to keep us competitive (assume we get a CB and a few outs to come here and there) or will Birmingham and Wrexham add to the mix with the parachutes and push us out?

Did Simmo match Tyler Walker last season in the end?

It used to be all Villa out there, don't know what it's like nowadays! Saying that if there were ever to be a new stadium then Warwickshire Council might be easier to deal with if they could find the right place...

The money was spent up building a squad largely from scratch and the wage bill was at the limit of affordability.

One thing I noticed in Betis was the forward passing. Where our players pick the easier sideways ball in similar positions they'd be looking to see if the short sharp forward ball was on. Some of the passes were extremely skillful and far from the easy option.

That is how we played with Vik certainly and it's a tactic that seems to suit Forest in the PL. I'm not sure that anyone really thought that Hamer was staying though.

There's nothing to see here. I suspect that King's been having these kinds of conversations on and off ever since he came here, it doesn't mean that any of it is serious right now. It's a really unhelpful development in terms of the current negotiations so I suspect foul play somewhere

A lot of that was against much weaker sides (I know not all). He seems to need that extra time and space to compensate his heavy touch. He looks much better running on to the ball so would maybe suit a side play long on the break much more. I think he needs a move for his own good, he's a good lad.

I suspect that's related to the injury and all the strengthening work. He came back "too quickly"

Not with Torp playing like that he doesn't!

Ultimately we only scored from a howler of a mistake. The lack of goals is glaringly obvious but Lamps wouldn't be drawn on a striker last night although he conceded that we need a CB. Simmo played a lot better actually. EMC less so, he was the one regularly lookiing offside, giving needless...
