    Match Thread Coventry City - Preston North End FC Match Thread - Friday 23rd Feb

    You mean the same model that Brighton, Brentford et all all adopt and we were crying out for Sisu to do but they wanted to just bleed the club dry. Yes King really is the problem. 🙄

    I agree with that. However up until the final day of the window we had EMC agreed and coming. Posh moved the goalposts by their own admission when they couldn’t secure his replacement.

    Tats didn’t pick up an injury through fatigue. He was picked because he’s one of our best players. If we had bought a loan in Tats would still have played. I too would have loved a couple more additions but I don’t buy the whole lack of squad depth bullshit. We have much greater depth this...

    Hull are pursuing a shit or bust strategy. They don’t own many of the players and if they don’t go up this season then they will be back to square 1 come the summer. By contrast we own almost all of our players …..we will add EMC in the summer and Robins expects significant other business too...

    I believe our squad is better or as strong as the other teams competing for the 6th place.

    Our squad was improved in Jan but not as much as Ronins wanted or King and Austin planned. That’s football. our squad is better than West Brom, Iosw, Norwich, Preston, etc …. Let’s stop pretending the problem is the lack of resources ….

    Robins has to own that one

    The players undoubtedly got it wrong but Robins got the initial team selection wrong, waited too long to act, then got the change in formation wrong.

    If you don’t think Torp has improved our midfield may I suggest football isn’t for you ….

    Robins has to own that one

    Robin’s got it wrong tonight. we knew Preston would press hard and be physical yet we ignored the more physical and experienced Kitchin and Bidwell in favour of Binks and Da Silva . He waited until half time to alter anything and somehow managed to make us even less effective in the second...

    Mason-Clark

    Wanting first option on the player is not the same as saying we want to sign the player. It sounds to me a similar situation to the Sakamoto transfer. We were watching EMC but whilst doing so another player has caught our eye. However we are not yet certain we want him but we want to be kept...

    I thought Randall’s running was strong but his finishing was poor.

    I thought King asked for the option but I’m not sure it was actually agreed.

    EMC in cruise control tonight …. Lovely weight of pass, composed, strong on the ball, good awareness….. created 2 and put the through ball through for the pen

    I think the truth at the time was that Dublin was happy to go and the club were happy for him to go if the money was right. Financially we were a mess at the time.

    Uber for Matt?

    A bigger question for me is why we awarded him a new contract last summer ?!???

    Uber for Matt?

    Godden wasn’t good enough last season, and isn’t this. For me he’s not a legend. He had a great promo season in lg1 and has made a solid contribution in the championship. Legends deliver much more than that. I do think he’s probably a very good senior pro in the club and one Robins has loved...

    Match Thread Plymouth (A)- Wednesday 14th Feb

    If you use basic stats there isn’t … if you know football and go to the matches there is a marked difference. I agree however that neither is terrifying.

    We were heavily linked with Whittaker last summer … Will be interesting to see him play.
