He got McGoldrick scoring for us too. With the exception of Callum Wilson (whom he probably would’ve released had he stayed), he’s managed all our best strikers in the 2010s. ‘Not a strong track record’

If it’s 3 signings, I’d guess a LWB, CB and a CM. As for the 4th signing, at a guess, I could see us signing either a CAM or a more experienced centre back to eventually replace McFadz. Long term, we need to move on from Kelly and McFadz despite them being instrumental last season. There’s a...

Yes, it’s been reported we’re signing 3 more players and two of which will be loans. Robins says he wants 4 new signings.

We probably won’t sign two left wing backs.

We have 3, maybe 4 (max), signings left and you’d spend 2 of those on LWBs? Don’t quit your day job.

We’ve been linked to Walsh and James and our good friend @better days has confirmed we looked at these two players. Therefore, we’re definitely looking to strengthen that area but, we haven’t signed anyone in that position, yet. It’s area of the pitch we absolutely need more experience in...

Decent player, ended the season well and I’m hoping he has a breakout year. Robins will be mindful that he’s inexperienced so it’s best to not have to rely on a player like that. There’s a reason our win % was significantly higher with Kelly in the team and it’s not because he’s our most...

With Kelly injured, we’ve got Sheaf and Hamer to play in central midfield... who else have we got? Seen a few comments saying we need a LWB and 2 CBs. One too many CBs as our options aren’t that bad at all. However, losing James and Kelly (to injury), Robins will almost definitely be targeting...

We’ve only got 3 first team strikers in the squad today, so we’re not going to play 2 strikers for the whole 90m because the personnel isn’t there. Besides, the box worked a few times last season. I prefer COH playing in a 10 role behind two strikers and reckon that’ll be our first choice of...

Shipley started the second game v MKD. If anyone has bothered to check that XI, it was basically our U23s and a few fringe players. The only exception being Gyo, who I doubt will be a starter when the season starts on Day 1. Anyone can see we haven’t started our full strength team because of...

He wasn’t a starter last season so what makes you think he will be this season?

Preseason doesn’t really mean anything other than build tactical familiarity, to build match fitness and to look at some personnel.

That Bushiri looks like a decent player to bring in. At 21, I’m sure there’ll be a lot of upside and relatively low risk. Hopefully we can sign on a permanent basis.

Momentum could’ve changed, but our away record was generally poor anyway despite a strong end. This was definitely a premature judgement, but I felt Rotherham would get relegated after we beat them 3-1. That said, they had a surprise result in them such as wins against Middlesbrough and QPR...

Rotherham had the 2nd or worst home record in the league and most of their games left we’re at home. So was ours and our home record was around 12th or 10th with a good record against top half teams. On top of this, Rotherham had fixture congestion and had to play a lot of games in a short...

Being consistently 6–9 pts above the the relegation zone isn’t exactly a relegation scrap. Rotherham having 3-4 games in hand made a lot of people paranoid on this board. The assumption was that they were going to win those games - despite losing the second most games in the league throughout...

Given our scenario and where both clubs have come from, Luton is a good mode to follow. Patience is key and I’m hopeful are young players, specifically Hamer, COH and Walker can move up another gear!

If we have better luck with injuries, I’m very confident we’ll be fine. Realistically, we were pretty safe last season save a 1-2 week scare. There are gaps in our team at this moment, but we’ve got 3-4 signings to come in. I’m confident Robins will address those needs. McCallum and Walker...

Anyone who has seen the Second XI will understand why we lost 5-0. It was an U23s team with a couple of first team in there.

Thankfully, the second XI we put out was very inexperienced and not many starters at all. Wilson, Shipley and Allen the senior pros...
