Exactly and you’ve implicitly shown the arguments for letting him go. First and foremost, there’s a reason he wasn’t a starter. Second, we’ve improved as a club and need better players than Palmer. Finally, Palmer hasn’t been fit enough to play 30+ games as a starter. Over a 46 league campaign...

This isn’t a jab at Palmer, just because he’s started the season well, doesn’t mean that’ll continue. Look at last season when Godden scored 6 goals in August-September, it looked like peak Godden was back… Only to score 3 goals from then. 1 league goal and 2 in the FA Cup against Oxford when...

From our POV, £750k is a good value for player who’s in the final year of his contract and a high earner. I’ll frame it this way, would people be happy if we paid 750k for a Championship AM with the following stats: Turns 28 in Nov and is on a wage that is higher than you’d expect for a...

You wouldn't extend his contract at the end of the season so if he has resale value and the freed up wages is a makeweight for a 'marquee' signing in midfield, it's a non-starter. Palmer isn't a bad player but statistically, there are plenty of better players out there at Championship level.

I disagree, we've had players pinched by Man U, Man City and now Chelsea in recent years. We're doing something right but the way Cat 1 teams can pillage lower division young players is ridiculous. At some point, the club will need to obtain Cat 1 status ourselves which (at a guess) won't be...

My gut feeling following Sheaf’s brief 20m cameo, is that both Torp and Eccles will play better alongside him. On the games so far, midfield looks like our weakest position without Sheaf. Which is a potential concern because it would mean neither our 2nd or 3rd choice CM (at the time of writing)...

Tottenham calling anyone or anything ‘banter’ is rich. They are the original banter club. The football community will loving it if we dump them out of the cup.

He’s a good player but his end product can be frustrating. That ‘cross’ at 1-0 that went to no one should have been a shot - a great example of overplaying!

No, I only got into away games after I moved away from Coventry a year ago, probably because I got used to travelling nearly 2 hours for every home game. Before then, I’d typically do a handful away days in a season.

On the flip side, we’re more likely to get a draw against a European team. Which is what I’d be wanting. For my closest game and to tick off a ground I haven’t done, Wycombe away please!

FA Cup, would love a random away trip to Barrow or Carlisle or something. Midweek though?! Terrible draw! I spared a thought for those Derby fans who travelled that far.

In fairness, it’s quite a flight from Bangkok for you! 😂 Don’t get me wrong, I’m trying to build my points so these games become important. What I’m trying to is that if people really want to go, the cost is only a secondary concern. Separate point now: These cup games are the most efficient...

I understand that there's an economic argument, but if this fixture was Leicester or Birmingham in the cup, people would find the £30 for a ticket if it was home or away. There's next to zero interest in the EFL Cup and as well as being an inconvenience being midweek, as it's early in the...

We don’t need a holding midfielder when we have Sheaf, we need a someone who can operate between being a box-to-box midfielder as well as a deep-lying midfielder. Watching Torp today, he immediately looked more lively alongside Sheaf and I assume the same would be true for Eccles. Which is a...

Not 100% on JDS but Kitching absolutely. Thomas can consider himself unlucky because for all his bad distribution v Stoke, defensively I thought he was better than Binks. Binks is our youngest defender and feel he could develop into a top Championship / decent Prem CB. Atm, I feel like he’s our...

Unless it’s a big draw, I don’t think anyone cares about that competition until the latter stages. The games being midweek and so early in the season doesn’t help because If they kept it, they should trim it down to Championship and Premiership clubs because the L1 & L2 have the JPT (whatever...

I know the contexts are different and it’s not a 100% fair comparison… it is interesting that we kept 2 clean sheets with Thomas and Kitching in the same fixtures Lati and Binks conceded 3 goals. It must certainly be food for thought with Robins.

From an attendance POV, drawing Oxford at home was possibly the worst possible draw. Complete lack of interest in the fixture because we’d just played. Oxford away I reckon would’ve been a good crowd, although I was shocked at how bad Oxford’s away following was tonight. Personally, I’d scrap...

We look twice the team with Sheaf on the pitch. Another player on that level and we’re strong contenders. EMC looks a lot more involved now and even Torp has been a bit better too.

I don't get the hate for this person, if someone wants to lift rumours from this forum and copy & paste it on Twitter, who cares? My annoyance with this tweet is that is meaningless and stating the obvious. I have no intel at the club (even if I did, wouldn't spout it on forums or social...
