Not defending Collins at all. Every player is replaceable and as we move up the levels, we need to continually improve it we get left behind. It’s a ruthless business. With Kelly leaving, we will be signing a CM and Robins won’t be signing just a back up. That would be against the concept of...

So he finished the season as their number 1, is that right or are we splitting hairs?

I share the same concerns with We also have the best midfield in the league apparently… Results against top half teams say otherwise. The stats do make a solid case for Sheaf to be one of, if not the best midfielder but his absence is sorely missed whenever he’s off the pitch.

He was until he got injured and they got a loanee in. Was their number 1 when they finished in the playoffs too.

In Oggy’s own words, he’d have conceded a red card and a penalty to save face. Even if Hull miss said penalty, it’s advantage to Hull. Not really constructive, is it?

I wonder if Robins agrees we need a new number 1…

3 times in 5 years - we’re not off target are we? It’s not unreasonable to get some bodies in for next season and have a right go at playoffs with a flirtation of automatics. We’ve achieved a lot this season and a lot of younger players will naturally develop and improve. We have invested...

We’re short in a lot of areas and the season has caught up us. Having to play Hull a few days after the semi-final was a difficult ask. In the priorities I outlined earlier in the thread show how short we are in places. We play 4-2-3-1 and going into next season we have; 2 recognised wingers, 3...

If we can win the golden glove with Ben Wilson in goal, that should tell you everything you need to know. My priority list and indeed the players our ITKs have shared, will not have changed. We have a lot of areas where we have 1-2 options I’m not going to repeat the same things in relation...

Had he smashed the result would’ve been the same - it ricochets off the forward and goes in. If the pass was any weaker the forward would’ve got there first.

What did Oggy say he would’ve done? In his day he could pick up back passes.

If we can, then we should. We signed Bidwell when we were a mid table side and our trajectory as a club has changed since then. If JDS played like he did last night, week in and week out, he would be first choice.

Robins has come and said the goal was due to a misplaced back pass so we know where the blame lies internally. Thomas having an otherwise good game doesn’t change that it was his fault. He was knackered and made the same mistake twice which lead to a goal. It’s no good kicking off at Collins...

As we’ve had injuries and suspensions…

With a full bill of health, what was Robins starting eleven?

Since we switched from 4-2-3-1, his reintroduction to the team was when Sheaf got injured, then Torp gets injured and finally Sakamoto. In 2024, his involvement is mostly because our best XI was not available.

Exactly. For example, Sakamoto in the lead up to his injury, played more less 90m every game when we switched to 4-2-3-1. His performances started to tail off in the 2-3 games prior to his injury.

Lati has only been starting because of injuries. We’ve mostly played the best team that’s available to us this season. MVE is not a winger and next season I doubt will ever play there if we recruit well. Likewise, with CM - should never play there again if we being in 1-2 players.

It’s an accumulation of the season. We haven’t had depth and it’s caught up with us. We didn’t decide to start JDS and Eccles on the wings, Godden and Kelly’s first starts since Feb and March for ‘lols’. The quality is obviously higher, but co no pared to last season, we have about 4 less...

He kicked the ball onto the striker, his best bet would’ve been to concede a penalty and a red card. Which would’ve probably led to a worse outcome than a goal.
