Not sure SISU would like us to be a middling Championship team

Chelsea fans see Sterling as a replacement for Victor Moses rather than a right back apparently. Others on here doubt that Jones will be fit enough to start the season. But I am easy either way. It does mean that there is no particular team need to hang on to Bayliss - Sterling/Jones will...

Agreed. And some offloading to balance the books

Will SISU let us terminate contracts of the likes of Vincenti and Beavon? There are costs attached. We might be stuck with them. An aged winger does not seem Robbins' style-not least after the failure of Vincenti and in a different position but the same principle, Beavon. The only veteran that...

Oh and I forgot Vincenti:wtf:

We are awash with wing forwards if you include Shipley. The chap from Dulwich, Jones, Stirling, plus Saint Thomas Bayliss

Robbins likes 2 up front surely - JCH or Max plus McNulty. McNulty isn't in the three of a 4-2-3-1, he's an old-fashioned poacher Then he has two holding central midfielders (modified by pushing Kelly forward late in the season-to good effect) and two wing forwards Looks like a defensive minded...

Bayliss-mania bears little relation to reality. Look back through the player-ratings threads, and see how often people commented how quiet he was or how ineffective. This included the Wembley game. There is no doubt he has class, but whether that class produces much AT THIS LEVEL is a moot...

or maybe Grimmer for Sterling and Sterling for Bayliss and sell Bayliss

Burge Sterling Davies Willis Brown Bayliss Andreu Ogogo Jones McNulty JCH

Why are fans obsessed with wingers? We did not have one at all for the run in after Jones was injured. We have two now, Jones and the guy from Dulwich. That is enough

One other cautionary note. Last summer we brought in what amounted to a whole new team, and it it took a while and the addition of two players from our own youth scheme to create a side that just scraped into the play-offs. Even though there is a core from last season, you will have the same...

Surely it is Ogogo & Kelly in the middle with Doyle as player-coach on the sidelines. Doyle has done his job getting us up from Div 2. Other thoughts:- It shows an encouraging lack of sentimentality on Robbins' part. Ogogo is also another cheap acquisition even allowing for wages Not sure how...

not a bad effort

McGoldrick is exactly what we need (or his type). McNulty does the Armstrong thing. McNulty is absolutely not a sole striker in a 4-3-2-1. He needs someone to feed off, so it is 2 up front

Although pleased with the new signings that have reinforced defence and midfield, we are still over-reliant on one man, McNulty, up front. We need 4 for up front in the squad - two target men, and two strikers. We have respectively, Max and JCH as target men and Sparky and Ponti a strikers...

Not sure another back up to the new signing Brown will be any better than Stokes. Might as well keep him. He is handy as a back up for more than one position. He is also old enough and mature enough (I sense) to know the score.

The Sky Blue man with the tea can used to wear a sky blue jacket until Gibson beat an opponent, quickly looked up before slashing a cross field pass straight to .....the Sky Blue man with the tea can on his back out on the wing This is an apocryphal story sadly...

As a player looks awfully like Jodi Jones. Not sure if that means anything
