To be fair he doesn't have a lot of permutations at his disposal at the moment and I wouldn't be surprised if MVE has had to be given a rest.

Indeed. This squad is massively devoid of experience. Not sure why signing up one of the few experienced players we have until he's 34 isn't going down well with some people. Especially as it seems we'll be playing 4 at the back. Just need to try and move Dasilva on and bring in another LB

I'd imagine that's exactly what's happened. I think that suits both parties.

I'll happily take boring for a bit! Keep it tight, put a bit more daylight between ourselves and the relegation zone and build from there.

And given how poor we've been defensively I don't think it would do any harm just to tightening things up for a spell.

No. We just look stronger defensively. I appreciate its not the long term goal, but it will do for now, I certainly feel more confident when we play it.

Though I think from a defensive point of view we look better with a 5 at the moment.

Citys new back 5 look a bit suspect

Where you seen that mate?

Our defence is very shakey

Happy with that. Thought he was off. Must have impressed Frank.

Hasn't Dasilva got quite a while left on his contract? Might not be that easy to move on.

It's clearly much, much better, but that doesn't mean he's above criticism or scrutiny, but some won't have a word against him I keep saying it, but the fact we had sisu is the very reason we should keep a close watch on King or any subsequent owners.

That's a bit worrying. He's not looked great out of possesion when I've seen him. Certainly good with the ball though.

That's why it's called training gear not shopping gear mate.

Not as bad as I thought it would be when I read the thread title

We didn't need another midfielder according to you know who!

To be fair Robins did say that, my take is he was towing the party line. There's been a lot said in the CET over the last few months (in fact years if you include the sisu/wasps/council saga), that's not true but if people want to believe it fair enough. I'm done arguing about it.

I agree. The 'we've wasted 45 million' just isn't true. Will we eventually recoup it? Who knows, but we've clearly got players we'll make a profit on and will recoup a good chunk of it.

I was convinced Robins had had the coaching structure forced on him. Now convinced I was wrong based on some things I've heard and some DMs I've received. Though I wasnt totally wrong and it wasnt all down to Robins, despite what he said in an interview, It's all a bit more nuanced than that...
