Burnley again....Causing us problems again pre season. If we've turned them down they won't let us get McNally easily, but that's OK. I'm starting to like the hard headed Doug King over transfers. We used to sell our crown jewels at the first sniff of interest.

Rose was great in our L1 winning season. Quicker and technically better than most defenders in that league. However he’s not strong and aggressive enough for me. Teams like Luton targeted him, and usually got some success.

He’s had very little 1st team minutes, but has still scored a worldly in that time. For me, he has a spark, and looks dangerous but obviously raw. I’m hoping he’ll be involved next season and not loaned out.

This sounds a bit like sour grapes to me. Luton have been through the shit just like we have. I hated losing the final but they were the better team on the day without a doubt. Our tactic of hoofing it to Vik (which was forced due to O’Hare and Palmer being out) was always likely to be nullified...

Here's hoping the Away kit is the Chocolate brown. Like the home and GK kit.

I like it. Can’t see the Brown anywhere though

Can't see O'Hare being 'Back on the grass' at Ryton when all the coaches and physios I presume are out in Portugal. Doesn't ring true. I would imagine this will happen next week or early August.

I'm not adverse to switching Bidwell to the back 3. He played well there at the end of the 21/22 season, and has all the right attributes (apart from height).

Godden had to play an unfamiliar role last season , basically being a foil for Vik due to injuries to O’Hare, Palmer and then Allen. He's a fox in the box, with excellent technical ability whose game is based on clever runs in and around the box. We just did not have the persononel available...

People seem to forget that McAllister before the 99/00 season wasn’t great. Clearly, he was a fine player, a technician . However, we weren’t good enough to play a passing game so he was ineffective for the most part. Once Hadji, Chippo, and Keane joined he was a different player . The loss of...

Vik was great, and basically got us into the play offs last season. Once O’Hare was out for the season on Boxing Day , Robins made us more direct, and Vik was the man! He did play for himself, towards the end of the season though. Robins builds teams with good spirit, and I’m not sure Vik...

Very few players signed under Robins have been leaked beforehand. Kasey Palmer perhaps. Sure we’ll have a few freebies lined up for July 1st and most probably £17 million in the bank. Let’s see where we are by mid July before panicking.

Wouldn't want Ings. He'll feel he's good enough for a Premier League club (Bournemouth, Palace etc),. + of course the wages. Just give us £24 million, and maybe their most talented young centre half on a 12 month loan.

Richardson’s ambitions over plain common sense ruined this club. Arena 2000, selling Highfield Road, Ron Atkinson, Gordon Stracham. Paying hefty transfer fees for average players (Daish, Jess, Salako, Richardson). I liked us more under Phil Neal. Add to that Richardson failed to keep Keane...

We may of lost 1/3 of the First Team Squad, but it’s only Doyle and McNally who are big misses. We still have this squad, if there are no signings (with the assumption Vik goes, and Kelly stays ) Wilson Moore Fadz Bidwell Da Silva J. Burroghs Kelly Eccles Hamer Allen Sheaf Howley Palmer Rus...

I remember the days (1st Division / Premier League) when we used to always start well and then start dropping by Mid Sept. We were top of the 'new' Premier League in 1992 after winning out first 3.

Keep Vik and Hamer this season, and let them go in June 2024 on frees. If they so wish. We can throw together a defence with decent signings based on players like Walker, Dabo and Waghorn leaving. A couple of decent loans. O’Hare and Palmer back too. We’d go up automatically, and cover any...

Preston away. Get that shitty fixture out of the way first.

Hummel's 2019/2020 League 1 home shirt was a thing of beauty, as was the Two Tone black and white kit from the same season. The 2020/2021 Home shirt grew on me. Last season's home shirt was good, but not continuing the tramlines onto the shorts was a big mistake. Didn't like the purple kit...

He was blistering for Newcastle the next season. Had we stayed up it would be a front 2 of Hartson and Bellamy.
