    What needs to happen in Jan window

    Agree. The main problem area for me is having a player to fill that Hamer role. I know we have not been taking our chances up front, but I think that will come. It's the midfield playmaker we really need and that I feel would really transform our fortunes. I can't see any way at all that we...

    Go on then, how does this end?

    It was a joke. People yesterday kept sarcastically mentioning the "we need to give them time gel" angle to mock the more positive posters on the match thread, while we were losing, so I was just being sarcastic back this morning.

    Go on then, how does this end?

    I'm sure we will go on a good run at some point. I can't see us getting near the playoff positions at all though, unless we strengthen in January. Unless there is a fallout with Doug King, I'm certain that Robins will still be here I think we'll be fine this season. We just need to give...

    With his brother too and that's why he was bombed out as well?

    Referee

    Exactly that I think and from the refs perspective you can see how he would have believed that McFadzean actually did catch the player.

    Do we know that there was a fallout?

    Referee

    But in actual time, at normal speed, you can see how the ref deemed he did touch/push/grab him. We would have been absolutely screaming for a penalty under the same circumstance.

    Where will we finish ?

    Agree. We need to replace Hamer and failed to do so. Ayari looks nowhere near ready

    Hand over ears

    You don't want it. It stings and the recovery time is long and laborious.

    The problem I can see with it is that rather than just going to ground, he puts his arms out, all but trying to bring the player to the ground. Definite pen.

    Nowhere near good enough

    I know. Was just making the point that you can't just say that because someone is a League One player when you bought them, that they are only League One standard. It just doesn't work like that. Some are and may always will be, but some aren't and are definitely capable of playing at a higher...

    Nowhere near good enough

    Buy Conference players and you end up winning the Premier League? I don't get that argument I'm afraid. So many players come through the ranks and start at lower level clubs and work their way up to a higher level. Just because they were bought from League One, doesn't automatically mean...

    Our players are nervous and have fear

    A lot of that can be down to a lack of confidence and obviously, the more games you lose, the more confidence drops and you become more nervous

    Where will we finish ?

    Yeah, maybe 10th, or around there I think.

    Nowhere near good enough

    He does play his cards close to his chest though at times, so I wouldn't be surprised if the changes were because some were carrying knocks or through illness etc. I am guessing that on Eccles, he may well have felt he needed resting, hence being on the bench. All guesswork of course, but he's...

    Nowhere near good enough

    Yes. Not arguing with that. Most people seem to think the new signings are nowhere near good enough. So what's the point! 🤷

    There's been quite a few hinting at it, BSB Can't be arsed to pick them out

    I don't get it. It seemed deliberate and that's the one place you don't head it.

    Nowhere near good enough

    Okay, can someone please explain the thinking here for those who want Robins out. There seems to be a growing band of posters. General consensus seems to be that the signings are not good enough (shit, dogshit, L1 standard at best, they're all duds, complete waste of money etc..etc) Okay, so...
