Wanting first option on the player is not the same as saying we want to sign the player. It sounds to me a similar situation to the Sakamoto transfer. We were watching EMC but whilst doing so another player has caught our eye. However we are not yet certain we want him but we want to be kept...

I thought Randall’s running was strong but his finishing was poor.

I thought King asked for the option but I’m not sure it was actually agreed.

EMC in cruise control tonight …. Lovely weight of pass, composed, strong on the ball, good awareness….. created 2 and put the through ball through for the pen

I think the truth at the time was that Dublin was happy to go and the club were happy for him to go if the money was right. Financially we were a mess at the time.

A bigger question for me is why we awarded him a new contract last summer ?!???

Godden wasn’t good enough last season, and isn’t this. For me he’s not a legend. He had a great promo season in lg1 and has made a solid contribution in the championship. Legends deliver much more than that. I do think he’s probably a very good senior pro in the club and one Robins has loved...

Jesus Christ no.

If you use basic stats there isn’t … if you know football and go to the matches there is a marked difference. I agree however that neither is terrifying.

We were heavily linked with Whittaker last summer … Will be interesting to see him play.

Although the guy in sky blue fan cast said the play off run last season be invaluable experience for the kids this season 😂 most were not even at the club !

I agree they are a risk but that risk has been created by Robins changing formation mid season after we had completed a huge overhaul of the playing squad in the summer. EMC will help in the summer and I’m sure we will look to bring in another wide player too. Im sure our play off rivals will...

Every manager always wants more … pep wanted Declan Rice, Jurgen wanted Caicedo Arteta wanted Toney Robins did get the winger / forward in EMC but as Darragh has confirmed Posb changed the deal on the day twice. You can’t blame King for that. Our squad is good enough to push for a play off...

Not a very smart move then. There is only boss and it isn’t Robins. Implying criticism of your owner in public doesn’t normally end well for any manager ….. I think Robins is a brilliant manager and we are lucky to have him but he can’t possibly complain that he hasn’t been backed this season ….

But so are most teams in any league !

In his post match interview I wonder whether Robins was hinting at the fact we might still look at out of contract players on short term deals ?? @Saddlebrains any insights ? If not it makes Robins comments a little strange as there is little to be gained in complaining your squad isn’t strong...

Robins is the master of managing expectation. The truth is we have best squad we have had in over a decade, he has been backed in the transfer windows by the owner, and rightly we are one of the teams the media expect to push for the play offs. With the exception of the relegated clubs any...

Interesting take. What did you score Ohare when he scored 2 in an other wise inconsistent performance against Leicester ? I suspect more than 6 …..

Had you honestly never heard of him ?

He wouldn’t get in ahead of KDH at Leicester already and all 3 teams will strengthen again in the summer. I think fans forget the gap between the premier league and the championship is enormous. Hamer ripped up the championship last year but if he wasn’t an ex City player you would not have...
