Nope, that's bollocks. Us fans know better than all the managers and even though none of us have seen him play, or have any idea how Robins plans to utlilise him, or know where exactly where he will fit in and play in the team, we should all write to the club now and urge this transfer to not go...
I know it's not everything, but apparently he was prolific at academy level, so should know where the net is.
Has Robins let us down before? I trust him. He's made an awful lot of better decisions than many of his predecessors with transfers.
Crazy to write this bloke off. If it's true we are...
That was only for that one incident though wasn't it?
From what I saw, when he did well he was applauded and when he made a mistake, criticised.
Only heard that one very audible groan and that was that pass back to the keeper.
After some investigating, I think it had to be Mellor. Hunt didn't come to us until March 1968, so it has to be either 69, 70, or 71, though Waiters was at Burnley at the same time as Mellor.
Before Mellor's time?
I had it in mind it was around 70-72 and Mellor was the goalkeeper then.
Mellor was 69-72 at Burnley and I do remember having to go up with my dad and not being allowed on my own in the late 60's and I definitely went on my own to the Burnley match when Ernie Hunt scored...
He should recognise our own players though and he should know the name of the opposition!
Basics and doesn't matter what league we are in.
I wouldn't know if he is getting opposition players' names wrong, I'm talking about our own.
Chelsea will obviously be expecting him to play as much as possible.
If we say sent Ponticelli on loan to a National League team, we would be really disappointed if he then didn't get game time and it would make the loan pointless.
