...n the way it was glaringly obvious that Doyle was not up to League 1, but we had to go thro a process of finding out, the outcome of which was very predictable. Don't care how good they were in L 1. My money is that Godden, MacF and Kelly will be found wanting. At the very least Godden needs...

In theory, but people on here also seem to not want drop any players as well, hence my initial comment about wanting a team of 14 players!! All I know is 1. The budget is limited - one (poss two) signings. One more loan 2. We have a relatively big squad of lesser players who will do the injury...

It's others who don't want favourite players to be replaced, not me. I think we need better quality than Kelly (Sheaf?) MacF & Godden

My own bet is that by Christmas, Godden, MacF and Kelly will either be on the bench or about to be replaced in the January window (but then I saw Dabo at the Swindon friendly last year and thought he was a booking/sending off waiting to happen-so I know nothing....)

All of which takes me back to the question I started with. No point in signing squad players as we already have a lot, and nobody seems to want to replace the ones most likely to struggle in the Chamionship. In which case there is no case for new signings.....but we seem to want new signings.

In which case who are the new signings to replace? We have enough back ups

we don't want cover, we want better

in which case why are people clamouring for a CDM? It can't be Hamer to go, sothat leaves Kelly.

Basically, yes.to this but I would keep one of Baka and Max, probably Baka as he is more versatile.

My problem with all the transfer speculation is that we seem to be assuming a team of 14 players. There are gaps - CDM and striker for instance - but nobody seems to want to drop players who were succcesful in L.1. Also we have quite a big squad, so actually have a number of fill ins in case of...

pebble dashed surely?

You need at least two loans - they provide skills that are not readily available at a price we can afford. No @Hare & Walsh = no promotion. But conversely players of their ability are ten a penny to the Premiership clubs. Supply and demand. Only Dabo could compete with our two loans for speed...

I have a suspicion he will never play regularly at anything above League 2

£400k

if we want to trade at breakeven-yes it is.

thst is well beyond our budget for a squad / back up player. It's more than we paid for Godden, and strikers attract a premium

Assuming Kelly and Hamer are the first choices in central midfield, the query is obvious. Why spend a lot on a man who is likley to be a squad player? For choice I would prefer a loan as back-up to Kelly and Hamer. The wolves guy is a better option. This comment guarrantees that Sheaf will...

Is it a team in Robins' likeness? I remember thinking how small we looked against Luton a couple of seasons ago. There is a chance we could get bullied by some of the cruder teams, but at Championship level it is more likely to be speed and skill, so I would not go hunting for Dele Adebola...

We will need to sell every season, regardless. That is the whole model. Brentford, who have the same model, are probably going to have to sell their best player, despite finishing 3rd. We just have to get our heads round it as being a permanent way of life. Every new player has to be...

Which is completely justified. There is a lot at stake. That's the game
