Is he a ball winning 6? Looks like he used to play 6 but has been effective further forward. Really feel like we’ll look a much better side with someone actually screening the defence rather than playing 3 8’s in front of them

Stoke D Oxford W Bristol D Norwich D Watford W Swansea W Leeds L Blackburn W Sheff Wed D Preston L Don’t think we’ll be at our absolutely best first 10. We typically never are under Robins. Think we’ll get off to a good start but nothing special (will be a miles better base than the last two...

No idea. More of a hope than an expectation. Could be wrong but feels like it will be the difference between getting promoted or not unless we are able to blow teams away offensively like Ipswich did and/or Thomas & Binks have improved a lot over the summer.

Definitely an experienced CB. Lati at CB in a 2 scares me (he was good in a 3 never a 2) whereas he was dependable at RB until he was carrying an injury

Think our automatics push depends on Gyok’s transfer. We’re currently a top 6 side that are two great signings (CM & experienced CB) away from being a side who can get 85+ points

If Wright is fully fit he starts left wing 100%. Top scorer & arguably best player last season. Annoying he went to Copa America as I would’ve backed him to kick on even further with a full pre-season with us but he hasn’t had much of one again. What’s great is that we don’t have to rush him...

Definitely not as inspiring as the other “experienced” players we’ve been linked with (Browne, Worrall) Promoted twice from this league but doesn’t look like he was a starter in either of those. Guess he is used to playing a bit part role. On paper is better than Palmer & Allen if we can move...

From Valencia & West Ham links to Sheffield United... does he have the same agent as Zain Westbrooke? At least if he goes there we'll know it was just about money.

Same reason Wilson went from the Golden Glove winner in 22/23 to now looks like he'll be 3rd choice. Low blocks negate loads of attributes you need in a more expansive team. We'll be in for Dovin over Johanssen because we think one will be good enough for the Premier League and the other has...

How did people cope when this was our ENTIRE summer? Palmer (free) Panzo (loan) Doyle (loan) Adaramola (loan - returned in September)

We already have multiple assets that we can call upon in that case (Wright, Simms, MvE, Sheaf). The coaching team will also be hoping that Thomas, EMC, Torp, Rudoni can enter that bracket over the next 12 months. Gyok is just one of a number of ways we can raise funds if we need to. The fact...

We’ll definitely see a shift of sorts with Adi’s exit and a whole new coaching team. Robins wants to control games better but we looked pretty toothless when we dominated possession last season. This will be key to us getting into the top 6.

The links & transfers this summer suggest we’re making movements regardless of Vik’s situation (GK, CB, CM, ST). If he does move I think we’ll push for more signings (LB, RB, CM no. 2) & we’ll save some for January

As someone who goes to watch non-league if we're not playing on a Saturday (same with a fair few of my mates) I think the blackout is still very worthwhile.

Adi leaves as a legend. Instrumental in dragging us from league 2 to a kick away from the Prem employing tactics far superior to our opponents at the time (e.g. the box). As much as I love Robins he wasn’t pulling up trees before Adi became his assistant so it’s a big call to make a change...

I'd be very surprised if it wasn't this tbh.

Think Lati was good enough at RB before he was carrying an injury so I'd be fine with him being back up this year. Obviously I'd prefer a natural right back there but we have more urgent areas to improve.

If we get another CB I'd imagine Lati would be 2nd choice RB, otherwise he's not getting any minutes.

Could give us a good option of bringing on Camara at RB when we want to go more attacking & Lati when we we want to sure things up. Also makes sense with our RM being more defensive and LM being an inside forward.

People put too much weight on Robins comments about having signings sorted for pre-season. Every manager/club wants all their signings sorted for pre-season. Agents rarely allow it as they get the best deal for their clients so I doubt we'll have more than a couple in by then. People will use...
