Robins has actually done nearly three seasons in two stints with us. All have been to some extent good First stint - loads of goals and shot up the table Second stint - year 1 (part) - Cup win, year 2 - promotion, year 3 - close to play offs. Therefore he is due a dud. Lots of changes in every...

There was always at least one goal conceding error per game

I thought there was some doubt as to whether that actually was Seppala. Having seen the picture of her the other day, I came to the conclusion it was. Is the record now confirmed that Mark and Joy had a tete a tete at Coombe Abbey?

He was voted man of the match by the player raters 7 times. Joint first with Kelly. Personally I think we are best shot of him as his confidence seemed to have gone, but he did have some very good games

People may have better memories than me but, in the summer break... 2017 Robins brought in 10 new players (inc Hyam who was notionally for development). Of those 6 have been good, two (Biamou and McDonald) were good in parts, and there were two duds, O'Brien & Vincenti. That gives Robins a...

these 3 year contracts are not good ideas

Hi Captain Negative here... It looks like two things have changed in the way the Club tackles the transfer window since Robins first purchases in 2017. Both bear considerably greater risk, particularly for a club that is supposed to be on its uppers financially. In Summer 2017 Robins purchases...

I hope all you you Chaplin-believers are right. I thought he lacked at least a yard of pace and really fancied himself in the pocket rather than as a striker. And much as I love Baka, he does not terrorize a defence. Hiwula is interesting because such a high % of his goals were individually...

1. Disappointing - the biggest weakness by far last season even though I take his points about the cost, and that the wingers will score, 2. Even so. Baka and Chaplin will have to come on a lot in which case. 3. Also how do loans fit in now? The defence is well stocked. We need a heavy-duty...

If Hiwula and the French guy are on the flanks, it implies the dutch guy is in the hole like Bright. (I will have their names by Christmas)

I agree Shipley is a handy squad player and worth keeping for that. I am puzzled how we get a strong defensive midfielder plus a replacement for Bayliss plus Kelly into a two man central midfield?

I am probably misreading it but in terms of the match day squad:- 1. Burge, Sterling and Thomas have been replaced. The new goalkeeper is an upgrade, but the others, because they replace good loanee players may not be as good. 2. Willis has been replaced by someone who sounds as though he is...

I actually think that notwithstanding the Ricoh issue SISU have finally worked out how to run a medium sized football team on a day to day basis. It has taken them long enough. The costs are in proportion to their investment and they have finally found a manager they trust. I doubt if the day...

Good idea - so that is one for and one against

"he just walks around the sidelines when things don't go his way, looking uninterested" sounds like Hiwula

Isn't this guy a possible Bright replacement?

Max - I saw him twice, including the League Cup at Oxford. And please note I am a huge admirer of Max. But he was clearly too slow, and too lacking in sophistication. The bruisers at the heart of Oxford's defence ate him up. He did not score that many in L2

Squad as of today ...a front line to put fear into the hearts of all League One defences. Or maybe not On the other hand we have cornered the market in central defenders. Looks like a bet on the most goalless games might be an earner

Weird comment. Yes he is on the staff, but no he is not up to L1 and in a few months time everybody will be saying that they knew this to be the case all along. Too slow. Like Grimmer he was an important part of the promotion team but thereafter... We need strikers more than we need the wingers...
