So the best case scenario is that we stay up and Robins leaves. After his departure, apparently, the best case scenario is that we get Ryan Lowe (never managed at this level) or Harris (already sacked by two Championship clubs). Shows the paucity of ideas and options from those who want...

Team that cost £140m. 4 Team that cost £3m. 1 But the manager has to go.

No, I said the team he played for was overseas,I didn’t mention anything about signing from an overseas club. The important point is that he was playing in the Dutch league, the league in which he was scouted in, unless we decided to sign him based on his youth team performances and 15 games...

Label it how you want. Dabo played in the same league as Kasteneer and Hamer, the olnly substantial amount of senior football he played before joining us. How he did in Holland would have played a major part in whether we signed him or not. No doubt that his previous Chelsea connections played a...

So Dabo plays in Holland for two years but no account is taken as to how he played for his two clubs there,his signing for us is purely based on what Vibash knew of him from Chelsea? I'm pretty sure that the same person/ people who watched Kasteneer (perhaps Badland himself), compiled and...

We deserved to beat Derby.Nothing flukey about it. Doesn't fit the we wuz right and Robins is crap narrative though.

Just to clarify. Grendle was criticising the recruitment of overseas players. My point is that the same team who tracked and recruited Kasteneer, would be the same people who watched and recruited Dabo and Hamer. It wouldn't have mattered whether Dabo was English or Dutch.

The point being made was that our recruitment of players playing for overseas clubs has been poor. Dabo, just like Hamer, Jobello, Hilsner and Kastaneer was signed after his performances in an overseas league.

We signed him based on his performances overseas.

Nothing to do with the fact he is English. We signed him based on his performances in Holland.

He was playing overseas, so yes he was.

The two teams he played for before us were overseas. We based his signing only on the recommendation of Vibash and never watched him play for his two Dutch clubs? I would have thought that the definition of an overseas signing is the location that you get the player from, not their nationality.

The last team Dabo played for before us?

I’m pretty sure that Marosi simply wasn’t ready to resume. He probably had no choice but to play Wilson until Marosi was fully recovered. Hyam, until today, has been the one constant in the centre of defence. There have been so many injuries to Rose, illness and suspensions with McFadzean that...

Not interested in what one individual fan from Barnsley felt. His record at Barnsley speaks for itself. Fans at this club know much more about Robins as he has been here far longer. The fact is he took over at possibly the lowest point in our history and has achieved two promotions and a Wembley...

Took over in September with Barnsley bottom of the league.. Lead them to an 18th place finish. Seems like he did pretty well.

Why would you want to down play what was achieved last season. We proved we were the best team in that league. I am struggling to think of any lucky goals we scored. Look back at last season, most of our goals were things of beauty.

There is no arguing with what he has done at Bristol Rovers and at Peterborough. When he was here, even at League 2 level, he never showed anything like that form. I saw him 4 times for Rovers last season and I have to say I was mostly unimpressed with the way he played.

I got the same email. I would normally take a medium shirt and ordered large as football shirts are often smaller than other shirts. I tried on my son’s XL shirt today, after the email, and it was just about right so I have accepted the offer.

I think the crowd was 48k for that game, with thousands in temporary seats in a half burnt down stand. I can’t imagine that H and S standards would allow that to happen today.However, the stand functioned well on that day and for the rest of the season. I was in the West End for a game later in...
