I doubt we’ll see much of Kastaneer, the bloke has a consistently poor injury record across his whole career and has already picked up one here. Screams of 10 league appearances and loaned back to Europe in the summer.

Hopefully the permanent is a striker. Don’t want to bring in a goal threat only to lose them in Jan/June.

5-3-2 doesn’t always equal defensive football. Sheffield United used it last season and played some great stuff. Playing it with that team having not prepared it at all in pre-season however would be a shocking decision.

if that's going to be the midfield I'll change my prediction of 0-0 to 0-1

It’s hard to disagree with this at the moment. The way Robins’ talking about the upcoming season seems to have completely shifted recently. Some of the quotes from today almost sound like he’s expecting us to struggle.

Is the two loans and one permanent a direct quote from Robins?

Midfield three of Shipley, Westbrooke and a half fit Kelly doesn't inspire confidence.

Not very optimistic at all. Think there are at least 6-7 sides in this division who are comfortably better than us, and another few who are at least on our level. We've utterly failed to address any of the issues the squad had last season and seems to have just just churned things around with a...

Robins also said we wouldn't sell Chaplin without having an immediate replacement ready to come in

Are we all just making up rumours now? We're signing Roman Zozuyla from Albacete and Oladapo Afolayan on loan from West Ham

Could very feasibly have a midfield three of either Westbrooke, Shipley and Eccles, or Shipley and a half fit Allen and a half fit Kelly on Saturday.

Less than a 0% chance this happens

Was it a direct quote from Robins that we were ‘going for it’ this season or was it just something the telegraph came up with?

Westbrooke, Shipley and Eccles? Burroughs? God knows

Number of appearances can be quite a deceiving stat seeing a 1 minute and 90 minutes both count as 1 appearance. He didn't play a full 90 for us last season until December, and only started 5 times between the end of November and the beginning of April in our League Two season. If you go purely...

It's hard to get particularly excited about the potentially of new signings after last summer when we were all buzzing at the prospect of Brown, Chaplin and Ogogo only for them to either be bombed out within a few months or fail to live up to expectations. On paper Allen and McFadzean look...

0-0

Any reason why they're all defenders/goalkeepers?

Someone fit him into this

Not much you can really do in these situations when a club like that comes calling and the player is set on going. Good luck to the lad.
