Great post Jimmy. It’s what most sort of thought was happening. I’d much rather build with solid foundations than spaff money on fillers. There does seem to be a certain tension though in terms of the type of players we are now after versus a fairly rigid wage structure. Do you think there is...

O’Hare wasn’t a terrier. He barely played for 18 months. Remarkable how he and Palmer have suddenly turned into Messi and Ronaldo now they’ve left. Palmer was an ineffectual faffer and O’Hare was better but rarely a factor.

The off the field points are just speculation. On the field I think it’s an over reaction. Torp is the one who does worry me which means we are more reliant on Eccles and Sheaf than I’d like but to say we have no midfield is incorrect. Up front we have lots of talent that will click eventually...

Seriously, the reactionary stuff on this thread is unbelievable. Robins is light years ahead of anything we’ve had in the last 2-3 decades. The same conversations were happening last year as Wright and Simms settled. We’ve signed proven players this year who just need a few games. There should...

Look, I understand it’s hard to stay objective in the face of a disappointing defeat but they were good.

We lost but we had zero issues defensively today. Bidwell lacked composure in the attacking half but we were rarely troubled at the back.

Based on him having played 4 games. Knee jerk reactions are rarely accurate

Robins has to stop trying to play all his forwards and stick to the system. Wright plays left for 90 minutes. If that means Mason-Clark doesn’t play so be it.

Still think he is. Ridiculously early to start judging

Van Ewijk, Binks, Eccles all good. It’s almost as if Robins has too many forward options. I wouldn’t have bought Wright off. Not a good day for Bidwell and someone needs to tell Simms he’s still got to try even though he got the odd goal last season. At least Mason Clark started running at them...

Midfield wasn’t the issue. It was overall mindset. Every player looked half arsed about the whole thing. Second to everything. Wright is our best forward by a country mile - not sure why he came off. MVE excellent but that was it

As soon as Dovin and Rudoni walked in and Wright, Simms, Ewijk and Saka didn’t walk out this was an excellent window. The others are a bonus. I don’t get the clamour just to sign anyone. They would eat up budget. It’s far better to wait until you can get who you want. If I was King and was...

Tell that to Ipswich

The wins nothing at all to do with us then?

So Stoke. Or when we got a point away in Bristol? Or when we beat Bristol and Oxford in the cup?

I like the clubs approach at the moment which is don’t sell our assets unless we can get top dollar and don’t buy unless it improves us. All manner of dross that would be tomorrow’s well paid boo boys have been mentioned during this window.

Ok. So we’ll accept anyone there but not Allen in midfield. We’re basically as well stocked in the two midfield slots as anywhere else

?????. Left wing we’re two injuries away from DaSilva playing there. How much depth can you have?

Respectfully disagree. For a start those bedding in for a third of a season last year are now well honed. If the 8 out at least 3 had 0 impact last year. All 8 in are feasible starters.

What needs to be remembered is that in loads of deadline days and transfer windows gone by we’d have been stripped of our assets.
