I think COH had a frustrating game too. We need to be more direct in some areas and there were times I felt he slowed us down somewhat. It could also apply to a few other players. The team looked leggy/tired.

I think he’ll start v Norwich and be subbed after 60-75m. He looked tidy and composed on the ball. On early viewing, a definite upgrade.

Torp isn’t considered ready to play 90m yet. He’s just had a mini preseason and will be lacking match fitness. Now we’ve got to get him up to speed. As for Kells, I’m not sure what difference he would’ve made for better to be honest.

It’s not our strongest area. Torp has looked v good so far and in Sheaf’s absence, he’ll need to get to speed quickly. As things stand, Eccles is a good system player - he’s good defensively and he doesn’t give the ball away. However, an area he’s yet to flourish in is his control of the...

In fairness to Godden, his value is and always has been his finishing. As a team, we have struggled to create chances in the box for any of our strikers. For me, it’s a system rather than a hardware issue, and Godden in this system is not the person to deliver the output we need. It’s 12...

Sod Law this happens on the eve of the transfer deadline day.

I think we needed Lati for the defensive cover. I don’t think he had the best game either - a square peg in a round hole.

That’s the kind of signing you make when you need a ‘jacket filler’ 😂

Have you considered that we tried and failed getting our top targets in? Better to go without and regroup in the summer if this is a long term project.

He’s had some good defensive interventions but he’s probably just fatigued and could do with a rest. For everyone who’s back Eccles to be a real Top 6 midfielder, the one thing he’s yet to prove (imo) is running a match in his own. No Hamer or Sheaf to dominate. That his next area of...

With Sheaf going off it’s a v good opportunity for Eccles to step up and run game. So far, not so good. He’s playing well but he and Lati are just not creating much. Could do with Simms, Wright and Torp coming on at some point.

I regret getting rid of mine. That said, it did irritate my skin though!

I’ve been joking to friends and family that Robins is my God since promotion from L2.

I honestly don’t think so. It’ll be like a Dyche or Howe situation at Burnley and Bournemouth respectively. He either takes us as far as he can and he gets sacked after a period of managed decline or he walks because he’s taken us as far as he can. If he takes us back up to the Prem and keeps...

Agreed, we really don’t need to be conceding a soft goal against Maidstone. We need to be ruthless and really batter these. Likewise with Wednesday. A good 2 goal win against Wednesday and follow it up with a crushing win in the 5th round. It just isn’t ‘super Ben Wilson’ in goal anymore.

On the flip side, you want to send a player to a club where they’re almost guaranteed lots of game time. In that sense, we’re just as good a destination.

We do have a habit of catastrophising over each loss. 4 points from our next 2 games is an excellent return. Personally, I think we’ll draw - the congested fixture list will add to that. Thankfully, Brizzle have had a couple more games than us.

Remember when MVE wouldn’t come to us because Leeds were interested? Me too.

Before the window, MR and Doug King said they’d be bold in the transfer of deals were to be done and also something about . I interpreted this to mean that we’ll try to make ambitious deals but we won’t force things. The club is rightfully content with the squad at the minute. It’s not perfect...
