    Striker?

    He can only play 2 if he has 12 players. He played 1 all last year

    Striker?

    The problem: Once Godden & Walker are fit, any incomer will likely be, at best, third in the striker pecking order, in a team that plays only one up front. 1. Would anybody who was any good, join us in that situation? Unless you are a loan 2. We can't have any more loans. 3. Or unless the new...

    Robins’ Transfer Success Rate

    HOW we build the team cost effectively is just as important as WHO or in WHAT POSITION? The idea of building up the squad for long term is for the fairies. Over 80% of the squad, excluding fringe players. have arrived in the last two years. If you want success, Robins' skill has to be in...

    Completely agree - we need a big bugger who can play up front on his own - becaiuse that is how we set up most games, like it or not. That player then creates loads of chances for O'Hare to ...............miss

    Which doesn't change it. IF anything it reinforces it - it means Hamer, who cost serious money, is the only outlier.

    That is because fairly obviously, they are completely different types of acquisition - Dabo is english, Hamer we paid serious money for. The other four were effectively, if not actually, out of contract players. I think Kasta cost something - which is even worse. We have taken the UK model...

    But that didn't end after 7 minutes. Those who rember Newcastle in 1967 may still have hope

    I have said this before, but the success rate from purchases in Europe of european born players has been piss poor. Hamer is a different kettle of fish as we paid serious money for him, and Dabo is english. But Kast - poor attitide, Jobello - looked ok for League 1 maybe, Hissner - before his...

    He struggled in League 2 until he scored a blaster in January and then another against MK in the cup. His figures will never be great, but I think that marked the point when he worked out what to do and is the better point top start from. He does pass the test that he has made an awful lot out...

    Wilson needs as much first team experience as he can get. It is hardly exhausting being a goalkeeper. I would have preferred a couple of others being rested, but no big deal. Players like playing and don't like being left out for any reason - that was why suspensions rather than fines were...
