Giles will start v Barnsley, and probably the following game before McCallum starts.

Again, you’re not wrong. Last season, all of our wingers were injured so we didn’t have that option. I’m sure Robins will be looking to give himself as many options as possible.

Agreed. But, we need options if we need to change things up. We can’t just rely on one system and the same personnel otherwise we run the risk of being found out tactically.

Playing Giles at LW wouldn't be playing him out of position, it's his natural position and is being re-coached as a LWB.

It's Dabo all over again...

Giles has got off to a good start, but Robins wouldn’t have chased a player he very clearly favours to sit on the bench. My guess is that McCallum sits the first game of two out on the bench before being a regular starter. I don’t know what MR is thinking, but this could be a v good signing...

Looks like our social media team beat him to the punch if it is McCallum! Hopefully he’s running another story on us!

Why not send him back to a club he knows well? Realistically, McCallum isn’t going to start week in, week out for a club chasing a return to the Prem. The likelihood was that he was going to get a shipped out on loan and if we wanted him, then it makes sense for all parties involved.

Giles is a LW turned LWB, not LB turned LWB. It’s not like Stokes and Haynes who were both LBs and neither had any really good attacking qualities. Granted, I’m sure some of our posters ‘in the know’ reckoned Wolves loaned him to us because we play with WBs. Giles probably good fit in...

It makes perfect sense for both teams. Just like Maddison, Norwich loaned him out before his break out season. McCallum will get to play Championship football in a system and players he is familiar in higher division. We get a position of need and a familiar face. This opens up the possibility...

We’re at point now where you’d have to be completely unaware of what’s around you if you haven’t heard of the movement. I guess their manager had a point when he asked ‘how long are we going to do this for?’ If teams want to take a knee, Let them. If one team doesn’t want to, why would it stop...

Skimmed QPR’s forum and they are up in arms over how bad their defending in. Quite a few people questioning their manager too.

You can never stop trying to improve the team. I imagine we’ll bring in at least one loan before the window shuts.

It’s more likely Thomas would’ve done well for us in League 2. I’m surprised he got a move to QPR because he hasn’t done anything of note since he left us. Then again, most of us, including myself, expected Ben Stevenson would have got more game time in League 2. We did well to get 500k for him.

It’ll be interesting to see what will happen when we take the lead in a game. The early sign is that we’re continuing our doggedness when going a goal behind. What we need to prove is that we can hold onto to our leads when we eventually get them.

Realistically, we’re probably going to lose more games than we win this season. We’re one of, if not the youngest squad in the league. On top of that, we have next to no Championship experience aside from McFadz and Allen. It’s a given we’re going to drop points through naivety. The QPR game...

We have four in the league, which is a good start. Thankfully, our role players really contributed last season, but after Gooden, our top goal scorer in the league was Shipley with 5 goals. My point is that we have a largely unchanged system and personnel to last season, and because we didn’t...

Agreed. But, there is a pressure for him and COH to get more goals this season because we don't have a lot of goalscorer's in this team.

Describing it as 'men v boys' when we won is a strange way of putting it. QPR's game management wasn't good at all. They controlled the game in the same way MK Dons did in the season opener; dominating possession without creating meaningful chances. When they went 1-0 up, they lost the lead...

Hopefully another 3 points for us! Would be nice to do a job on Chaplin and Thomas. Nothing personal, just playing ex-players spices it up a little bit.
