Yes and such a condition is called Swyer syndrome.

The defence is the same isn’t it? Robins will try to get an experienced CB in there and we tried last season too. That’s more important than a RB because Lati will do a good job there in any MVE absences.

Splitting hairs over a wrong acronym - the IBA tested these athletes and banned them from competing. Since you said ‘basic facts’ were wrong, these athletes failed a gender test and IOC has let them compete. The failed test is the basic fact here, not what governing body issued it. You know...

As you understand it, what is the ‘basic facts?’

100% - there should be separate categories, it’s not fair on the athletes. The biological women who have to compete against people with a biological advantage as well as the athletes at the centre of these storms. It’s not an issue in male sports because intersex men with XX chromosomes or...

Well, not if you have XY chromosomes. Ironically, the trans lobby used the existence of intersex people to peddle the idea that biological sex wasn’t binary. Biologically, the athlete in question has XY chromosomes and is therefore biologically male. With intersex people they have sex organs...

The athlete in question has XY chromosomes and has failed the IOC's 'gender test' yet is still allowed to compete.

It's the new footballing 'meta' Real Arsenal and Man City have been targeting taller, more physically dominant players too.

With the current team with no more incomings, I think it'll be Eccles who plays as a pivot and Sheaf more as a 6 so he can disrupt play and get interceptions and win tackles/duals higher up the pitch. Exactly how the midfield was setup v Leeds (H) but with Rudoni rather than COH who is probably...

In my view, we should only look for a loan if we’re in a position where we’ve missed out on top targets or the loanee is clearly out of our price range for a permanent. Prem teams aren’t going to as keen to loan us players if they’re coming in to be role players. The positions we need: RB, CB...

Good interview and you can tell he actually wants to be here. The posters before have said what I was thinking… the interesting snippet to me was that we nearly signed him in our L2 days and he wanted to join us back then, even being contact with ‘the boys’ and came to watch us play at the...

Rotherham, no. Huddersfield was a game we should’ve won even if it was a dire game. Looking back, I don’t think our slow start was as bad as people made out at the time. There were games we should’ve won but didn’t and Huddersfield at home being a great example. Rotherham was probably the worst...

May I return the favour and call a clown for actually posting this? 😂

Let’s just focus on playing players in their best position. It was only against Darmstadt where our midfield was down to Eccles, Allen and Rudoni with only Palmer to come on with only injuries to Sheaf and Torp. In this convo there’s too much emphasis on injuries and suspensions. We’re not even...

He played for us 6 times in 22/23 and as a WB. Likewise he played WB last season for Lincoln, presumably you meant 23/24. They’re two different positions, it is constantly pointed out that JDS is better suited to WB rather than LB. Similarly, Sakamoto has played 10+ games in his career as a WB...

Where’s that come from? If MVE gets injured, Lati comes in at RB so if Thomas also gets injured/suspended you’re left with a back 4 of Burroughs-Lati-Binks-Bidwell (for example). That doesn’t look particularly strong to be honest. Burroughs hasn’t played a competitive match at RB in his career...

The depth in terms of numbers which according to Robins own count we’re still 1-3 players behind that standing count of 2022-23. So you haven’t countered that point unless you believe MR to be wrong. In which case, you clearly know best.

It’s not a 5th CB if Lati is deputising MVE at RB. If MVE gets injured, Burroughs won’t be playing RB and it’s not even a given he’ll be kept in the squad this season. The squad requirement is either a CB or RB - depending on where MR wants Lati playing. He played RB against Everton which was...

That wasn’t the point I or Robins has made now or in the past. The benchmark was in the numbers, Robins said the squad size was ‘net’ smaller than last seasons and presumably wants a squad size on par with 22/23 if he kept referencing it. It makes sense and we’re still short in some areas. Which...

We’re not competing against mid table teams anymore, our aim is promotion and there’s a good 5 players in the 2nd XI we need to improve upon. There’s also about 3-5 players that’ll be loaned out. The squad is the best in terms of quality it has since we were a Prem team. To demonstrate how...
