Question is why, what are the reasons we missed out on them? They were clearly identified by Robins & the Recruitment team as a necessity.

Interesting one. A real basket case of a club &, although he's obviously thrived under trying conditions here, he was at least largely left to get on with footballing matters. Best of luck to him, except when they play us obviously.

Lots of rumours about a drinking culture & lack of professionalism at both Plymouth & Birmingham, hopefully not true.

Very good & simplifies it for those that don't understand it. Probably a bit too simplistic if anything but tbh I'd rather it never became a mainstream media & fans thing in the first place.

I thought he seemed a bit of a deer in the headlights when asked it at the forum like it hadn't even been considered previously.

Exactly. It was never a hard & fast "no loans". King was reluctant as he sees it as dead money & for the other reasons outlined by Austin at the forum but for the right player at the right price, there was always room for at least 1. We should have done more to get 1 or 2 in during the summer...

I know... I even said it at the time. See below Have you read the actual messages above or just picked bits & drawn your own conclusions? https://www.skybluestalk.co.uk/threads/allen-injured.162954/post-3165330 James McConnell I was told.

I agree & also think we should have pushed harder in the summer, but as I say it would be a bit of a 180° for King. He was very cautious/reluctant with them even as a proposed playoff chasing team to then spend money on them for no return would be odd. Hopefully, as suggested he's listening to...

Same here.

Yeah but we were targeting playoffs then. It's highly unlikely we'll reach them now so the money would essentially be wasted.

Would be an odd change of tact from King given we aren't going down or making playoffs, it's just dead money. Caveats over loans with view to perm or if we're offloading elsewhere to offset the wages of course.

More entertaining than the game tbf.

Robins never picked Collins this season.

Hard to say vs 2 teams that barely attacked at all (no surprise that they are the lowest scorers in the league) but I saw no reason to leave him out in the first place. Should have done better with the QPR goal but other than that, nothing overly concerning & he needs to establish himself if...

Nose bleeds when reaching the halfway line.

No wonder if they were shooting from your seat, especially if you're sat behind the goal. Wonder what the xG would be on that.

Yes thanks. Take it up with Opta fella. Fwiw, In my opinion, the best opportunity didn't even result in a shot. Seemed to me if Langstaff had been switched on to Thomas's shit back pass he'd have just tapped it past Dovin, would need to see it again though.

Tanganga's header at the back post. If he'd tried to hit it with his feet rather than his head, he'd surely have hit the target. I also thought they could have caused us a proton the counter but, similar to us, chose the wrong option or slowed it down.

Why are you still obsessing over Robins? You got your wish, albeit 7 years later.

Did you not think? They had more shots, more on target, more big chances, higher xG. We had one moment from a decent bit of play & individual skill. That's it.
