Waghorn - Bags of experience, and looked decent before his injuries and Covid issues last season. Can slot in behind the main striker. Walker is just not good enough. Forest obviously felt the same, letting him go 2 years ago. The lad can finish no doubt but not enough else in his game.

Hard to call the league this season, but you would expect to see Norwich, Middlesbrough, Burnley and Watford up there. I can see there being one team that takes everyone by surprise this time though, and will get promotion against the odds. That shall be CCFC.

Along with the selling of Robert Rosario in 92/93, not buying Chris Marsden was one of the worst transfer decisions this club has made. We looked a different team when he played, beating Spur 2-1 just after Xmas, and then he ran the show against Swindon a few days later.

They will come out of the blocks fast on Sunday, with the crowd behind them. We'll need to be patient, and let our passing game warm up, and then pick them off. Can see them getting an early goal perhaps, but then we go to town 1-3

Still not convinced that Godden & Vik can play together effectively (certainly away from home) Think the box with Allen & O'Hare behind Vik would be the safer option. Ideally this would be Palmer instead of Allen but he's probably not ready yet. Predictable? Predictably good. We also have a...

Champions - Squad has the quality, and we have the team spirit, which the relegated teams won't have (Burnley, Norwich). Stranger things have happened. Let's not forget we played most teams off the park last season, and have added quality in the positions where we needed to (CB and AM)

Would like to think we’ve told Burnley to do one after their conduct, and O’Hare not that keen on the move. If we could move on 2 from Kane, Walker & Waghorn, maybe we could keep the big 3 until January at least, and get a LWB in

Maatsen did OK, but often flattered to deceive. Don't remember many assists from him. He was full of energy though and got better defensively as the season wore on. Certainly replaceable

Darby looked good when he played with Chris Marsden for a short while in Dec / Jan 93-94. Technically decent, and could finish but he was lightweight, and shirked challenges and was often anonymous. Those dark days of David Rennie, Julian Darby, Sean Flynn

Let’s say he eventually goes for 8 million. Even if Robins only sees 25% of that, it would free him up to bring in a replacement (Sibley or a top Premier League youngster, Man City & Chelsea seem to like us). I think we have 3-5 players lined up, when we have the budget. As of yet Waghorn...

This is exactly what I didn't want. From reading all these posts, I was resigned he was off on Saturday, and the deal would of been done by now. I don't want him to go, but it would give Robins time to bring in a replacement before the 31st. It seems to be dragging out, and we don't want him...

Is a new LWB only coming in if there is movement out (Kane, O'Hare etc)? Bidwell has been looking decent from all accounts, but it would be typical if he got injured and we had to play Dabo or Kane there.

We have one of the best managers outside of the premiership, along with a brilliant coach in Adi Viveash. Even in the worst scenario that the Big 3 were all sold, and no money was available for Robins apart from a loan, I would still back us to stay up comfortably next season.

LOL - Need to change that!

He was the one shining light in our relegation season, but his career has been pretty much a disaster since then. Wasn't he more of a wide forward / midfielder than a No 10 though? Certainly no replacement for O'Hare, but as a squad player I wouldn't mind him coming back.

So apart from various twitter rumours, nothing official yet. Certainly no bid had been accepted on Saturday afternoon as he wouldn't of played. So I take it Burnley still haven't met our valuation, or payment terms. So the rumours are that basically they expect Burnley to come back again. He's...

O'Hare going would be devastating. Such an exciting, all action player, who gives 110%, rarely gets injured, and a key cog in our play. I can understand why the club may need to sell one of the Big 3 but Callum would be the worst to lose IMO. Also if this does go through next week (as has been...

Pretty sure McCallum will be the one we may bring in before the window shuts.

If we could get Bird & Sibley for 6 million and sold Hamer & O'Hare for a total of 18-20 million, then it could be good business, but you are taking the heartbeat out of our team in Hamer & O'Hare, and relying on Bird & Sibley to be as good. Both are young players. If Sibley takes a while to get...

I think the players agree with you. The way we played most of the teams off the park last season is testament to his training. The improvement seen in Sheaf, Hyam, Eccles, Vik etc. He also seems to love his job of improving players and being a proper coach. No eye (at this time) on a...
