    Recruitment has been shocking

    Would you like to explain how your stats show that Wright isn't a natural goal Scorer? Didn't think so. And whilst you're at it can you also explain how your stats show that Robins should have a taxi called for him.

    Are they the same stats that told you Robins isn't good enough to be our manager? I don't go by stats. I go by what I see. When most were calling him a waste of money they ignored what he was doing. Think it was his first goal that was just instinctive. As in natural.

    I've been clueless each pre season for years now. Was also clueless last season when I was sure we would make the playoffs. I'm clueless as I look at the whole picture. Some people struggle to see past their own views. Ipswich had a settled side at the start of the season. They were picking up...

    Transfer Rumour Haji Wright

    The question was who would improve our midfield. It wasn't who you know we could get cheaply and will come to us. My point about how he could be within our range is those running their club. If the past is anythig to go by they will sell another player soon. And they are running out of players...

    He was bought as a striker. His running at players is a part of it. Very strong on the ball. A natural goal scorer. Sets up a lot of chances. Godden is a goalscorer. But he doesn't have all the other attributes that Wright has. Wright has improved and will continue to improve.

    Match Thread Coventry City - Swansea City Match Thread - Friday 29th Dec

    I like to read what the opposition supporters say about the game. Gives you a different viewpoint from the game. These days it is all about Sakamoto. The most common comments are he takes the piss out of their players, the difference between the two teams and he should be playing at a higher...

    If we put in an appeal on time for the Kitching red card he should be able to play this game. I suppose it comes down to any evidence we have found. If he plays I expect a win. We would have too much for them. 2-0 or better. Without Kitching it would be a total guess on the side. Would still go...

    Transfer Rumour Haji Wright

    So he doesn't go past players? He doesn't score goals? He doesn't have a good passing ability? He doesn't run the length of the pitch with the ball? Not correct. You won't find another Hamer easily. If you do he would certainly be out of our price range. The Hamer we bought wasn't the same...

    20m? Even their own supporters don't think as high and they always overvalue their players. They turned down 10m and sold Stewart. But they still didn't buy a striker. They are expecting more player sales. But they have nearly run out of players of any value that clubs are happy to pay. They...

    Who is playing in the middle most of the time and very well at that. How much time did he spend on the wing against us? Wright is a striker but he is playing more on the wing.

    That's the thing. As I said IF we want a midfielder this season to fit straight into the team it will cost. And with a player like Clarke he would also be for the future. Otherwise we wait until the end of the season and look for the bargains. Then you have time for them to get up to speed.

    Transfer Rumour Haji Wright

    Yet he is still at Sunderland. Wouldn't be cheap but name a Hamer replacement that would be cheap. You either go for a known quality where you have to pay the price or you go for an unknown quality like Sakamoto and hope it works out. But if we're looking at strengthening for a push this...

    Transfer Rumour Haji Wright

    Similar to Hamer in ways. Good in the tackle. Can run past players as we saw the other day. Scores goals all over. But is ending up higher up the pitch as he is their only serious goal threat. Even then he starts a lot of his runs from inside his own half. Scored the only goal last night...

    Do you not watch Wright? Very happy with his progress. His assists make up for the goals, although he has been a little unlucky. He pulls defences apart when running at them on the left. Very composed and will only get better.

    And has nothing to do with O'Hare hitting the ground running and Sakamoto being a level above most of the players he comes up against. Why don't you put Dasilva in the same taxi as Robins?

    Transfer Rumour Haji Wright

    Clarke from Sunderland would be my choice of an extra midfielder. He is carrying their side. Think it is 11 goals so far with not a lot of help from others. They don't even have a proper striker. Can you imagine a player like him with O'Hare, Sakamoto and Wright? Sides wouldn't be able to put a...

    Transfer targets

    O'Hare hasn't gone yet. And none of us know what sort of contract has been offered. And where is the evidence that one hasn't been offered. My guess would be O'Hare wanted a decent contract but we were weary of giving a big contract to a player who was just coming back from a second long term...

    What still amazes me is the amount of people that spend so much time on here and never learn anything. Every season is the same. We sign a new player. The player has a slow start. That makes him shite and a waste of money. But they don't consider anything else like different systems, not...
