....but how old is he?

This is rebuild year, not panic year. If no deals are done, so be it. O'Hare back soon. Many said that expectations should be lower this year. So the logic of that is that we will lose and draw where we might have expected to draw or win and performance will be variable. And the expectation...

1-1. They lead, we equalize in the 2nd half. Palmer goes off injured.

You all want your brains testing. A year of misery moaning on here about how poor the side are and how the investment has been rubbish, 'taxi for Robins', McFadz is not this level, Godden too old yada yada yada. Being thumped 4-1 or 4-0 on a regular basis home and away. Then ignominious...

That back flick is his party piece. He set up Hamer's goal v Stoke away last season with exactly the same flick

Would you rather be a Luton fan or a City fan right now? Personally I am glad Dabo missed. Another season to build a better team - using Vik & Gus money plus anything DK throws in. Luton are outclassed, just as we would have been.

Of todays eleven who would you drop?

Last season, Eccles looked very handy in a DMF role (when Sheaf was out). I was always puzzled as to why everybody saw him as an attacking midfielder. With two strikers now, midfield can only be three - so Sheaf, Eccles with Palmer / O'Hare in front.

Just think....O'Hare to come. Mind you he will probably be injury cover for palmer

League 2 I suspect. We had no loans at the start of the season iirc

Ben Dover...Mustapha Koch. Ooh er missus

How on earth is that naive? Seems the obvious truth to me. More money and chance to play in the top league. No brainer for him and good luck. If he plays well he will be picked up by another Prem club when United get relegated. If Hamer is worth £15m, then the deal we got for Vik is even...

Those who are disappointed about the team selected for today have not been watching Robins for the last 6 years. Two rules he seems to apply fairly consistently :- 1. He values continuity. Last year's success was built a core of players who had been there 2-4 years. 2. He rarely throws new...

I just love the Championship. Better than the Prem. You can argue that a dozen clubs could get into the top 6, even if the top two are liable to be from the recently relegated three. You can predict the Prem's top 6 right now. There are three relegated teams, plus Norwich and Watford who will...

My perception is 'What an interesting bloke. I really like his individuality' so forgive errors. It is all in the eye of the beholder. Much better than Dowie or Coleman prowling menacingly, inches from the touchline. Nothing could be more intimidating for players than that.

To not sell him to anyone for £20m would be mind-numbingly stupid. We've just built almost a whole team on that amount of money from Big Vik. The only reason for not selling would be if you thought the Club's coaching and recruitment staff were so crap they would never find and develop a...

No idea what team altho the logic in Procdoc's submission is pretty good. Fair chance some players we fully expect to be superseded later in the season may well start - Wilson, Bidwell & Godden. Bidwell in particular - McFadz has got to have someone he knows in the back line. Even so, sadly...

...maybe we are already spending the Hamer money?

We have seen plenty of clubs splash the cash with little reward and Robins is in uncharted territory. 8 new players, statistically you would think at least two will be duds. Four have come from other leagues, so the risk/reward is greater with those players. Last year's team very settled (7...

Could not possibly be more wrong. The defence that got us to the play offs had two loanees in the centre plus another at wing back. We can never afford, even now a player of Doyle's quality. Loans bring skill levels that are beyond the usual acquisition routes. O'Hare, Sheaf were both loanees...
