If it happens it would be a massive you don’t appreciate what you have till you don’t moments.

Why is it you find ways to excuse our wins but never acknowledge that the same may apply to the losses? Let’s be honest we were as good as Stoke and Norwich and could easily have won one. There will be many teams happy to come out of Bristol with a point. Everyone can see it’s not quite clicking...

But it wouldn’t go like that would it. We sign the player whose skill set is “can win the ball in midfield”. When his limitations are exposed he’s the new boo boy, he still draws a wage and everyone gets in a frenzy with Doug and insists he must splash out on the replacement. Something of a...

CBS should be rocking v Spurs. Revenues from it can probably pay wages for 2-3 players. Up the reserves!

Played 6. Won 3, drew 1, lost 2. Be real.

Exactly. It wasn’t an oversight. Stamenic and Browne were close. Just couldn’t land anyone suitable. It happens

Not helped by the likes of Sky banging on about us being “favourites” etc. the core of the problem we have is that the squad has improved quite a bit but the expectation has outstripped it.

If we’re scratching around for Fleck I’d far rather chance Andrews

If you like. Although Hamer went to a premiership club and is very probably on higher wages.

Eccles is a good player. Solid championship stock. Our squad situation however means that he is absolutely pivotal for us now.

There’s a few players I’d want us to be targeting. They’ve been mentioned on here recently as being outstanding talent who would really improve the team. Let’s get after Palmer, Kelly and James.

There’s not a chance we neglected the midfield in the window. We just couldn’t land anyone. There’s a big difference. Under previous regimes we’d have flogged Sheaf for £4m and pinned our hopes on picking up a free transfer or prem loan.

He’s also vastly superior to Palmer

Put yourself in Kings shoes as the owner of a loss making operation. Robins “can I have cash for Torp, Bassette, Mason-Clark, Thomas-Asante, Binks, Dovin and Rodrigues. Can you reject offers for Simms, Wright, Van Ewijk and Sheaf. Doug “done”. Robins “actually forget Torp can I have more money...

Not negativity. I’m encouraged by his attitude. But some of the platitudes so far are bizarre. He’s done the equivalent of nothing so far save put himself about.

My point is that you assign no credit to us playing well against Oxford yet they are clearly no back number, borne out by the wins referenced.

You can’t ignore the fact that we’ve come a long way and why would we want to. I just think expectation has outstripped our reality. We don’t own the stadium. We make losses. It’s actually a massive over achievement that we’re trading blows in the upper echelons of the league. It’s worth...

The formation is fine. They just need a rocket up their arse.

Take the point. I think there is something to show for it in terms of last season and in terms of the players we now have with enhanced sell on values. Summer 24 was heavy on attacking signings which I think are needed in the Champ. They just couldn’t get that crucial midfielder over the line.

And yet they’ve beaten Preston and Norwich?
