We were linked with him in the summer and yet some on here queried why we would want a player that hadn’t ripped up any trees at Swansea.

Of course it is likely that most of our young players and our foreign signings will be better next season for a year in the Championship. We ignore that. We see this a lot in football even with huge signings in the Premier League.

Very difficult to form an opinion on a defensive coach. So much depends on the players brought in, the formation deployed, the level of protection the midfield provides etc etc . We haven’t looked very secure in defence all season but have scored more goals than normal which has masked this in...

I think it will be interesting to see what experience Robins brings in. We have lost Fadz, and will probably lose Kelly, Allen, Godden ….. After both the last 2 championship matches Robins has referenced the opposition having more experience and match know how than us … assuming he addresses...

I understand Matt I just don’t think Robins trusts Tavares and if he doesn’t then we might as well move on.

I don’t disagree but I don’t see us spending big on the striker but Godden and Tavares will need replacing …. JDS was a free and brought in to play wing back which is no longer our preferred formation

I think this is a pretty good take to be honest. I have more faith in MVE and Simms but generally the themes are clear … We need a clear number 1 keeper We haven’t solved the left back / left wing back problem Another right sided central defender is needed We need cover at CDM for Sheaf...

I don’t disagree

When was the last time we saw Godden score from outside the box or the edge of the area …. I’ll wait . I understand some fans not believing Simms will come good but to think we should be playing Godden is pure desperation. We have outgrown his capabilities and I’m sure he will be moved on this...

He’s still young and I have no doubt will have a very successful career and certainly much better than fans favourite Godden has had. He’s a confidence player. His shooting last night was poor but another week one of those hits will go in. The intellect point is a red herring. Wayne Rooney...

I understand your defensiveness @Saddlebrains and I enjoy your insights. That said we all know who ever shares this stuff with you shouldn’t be …. However it happens at lots and lots of clubs. I do however think there is a distinction between knowing the line up an hour before we should and...

I do think we are guilty of the modern disease of wanting to stick to our principles and pass our way to the perfect goal even with minutes ticking away …. in the past we would have taken Lati off, pushed up Kitchin and told him to ruffle their defenders abit and create some space and knock...

Tell Oggy he’s still defending him 😂

I’d be disappointed if there was not after that performance.

COH miles away from Premier class. Totally ineffective today.

Dawkins stirring it in public . What ever next. Poundland millionaire.

Further attention seeking …..

The most intriguing part of the Wilson situation was that he wasn’t that highly regarded by City for a long time. In fact a deal had been agreed for him to be sold to Tamworth for a nominal fee. He then broke his foot and the deal fell through. Fast forward a few months, Wilson has recovered...

That’s was 8 years ago. Transfer fees have exploded since then ….. Championship clubs were not selling midfielders for £15m back then either.

I think we need a combination of both. Players are available for £1m for a reason and normally it’s because they are inconsistent or unproven. You therefore increase the risk with them. If they are £1m because their contract is due expire then that is different. Once we start paying above £3m...
