He never said anything of the sought that he doesn’t want to operate a squad big enough. He specifically said ‘no comment’ to the size because, presumably, that’s delegated to MR. He just spoke about the changes he made. If anything, I’d say he’s guilty of pumping up his own actions since he’s...

Still spent £7m and the club believed EMC was coming in Jan. There’s such a thing as FFP clubs have to adhere to so the club can’t just spend whatever it wants even if Doug King was an oil tycoon. We’ve committed all the transfer money from Hamer and Vik hence we’re dependent on both their...

It’s a factor in not only preventing injuries but keeping the players fresher or even getting them back sooner. Again, the point is more people think you can chuck numbers (players) at the problem when perhaps there’s solutions elsewhere. Even if you have a big squad, you don’t want to be...

Weren’t people complaining about the medical staff when we kept getting ACL injuries? Improving your infrastructure and medical provision can only be viewed as a positive. Unless he said ‘we’re not signing any more players’, then you can worry. MR has said that he wants and needs more players...

Fair enough, he can do what he wants. Personally, I don’t think he’s getting guaranteed football at any Prem or even top Championship teams (relegated teams + Southampton, Leeds or even Norwich). We’ll see where he ends up and if he does a dramatic U-turn it’s also a sign his offers aren’t all...

It could be a good move to put himself in the shop window if no Prem interest materialises. I’m over it to be honest, if he doesn’t re-sign, there’s an opportunity to get another player in. Someone like Rudoni will probably be a better player than COH is when he’s 26.

I celebrated pretty hard against Wolves for the winner… However, nothing came as close to the pandemonium of Torp’s disallowed goal!

At 23, Sam McCallum has far more upside than Bidwell and in most categories is ahead of him statistically. There’s an odd obsession with Bidwell from our fans. He’s a solid player but it’s a position we can improve on. At this point in his career, Bidwell deserves to start for someone so if...

I just can’t see Robins leaving us for anyone at this point, even if Man U offered him a pop at the poisoned chalice! 😂

Good point, McCallum and Browne would make strong free agent signings. As for Dolan and Rudoni, I’d like to know potential fees involved for them and are they our ‘top targets’. Exciting times!

Casting your mind back to the L1 and first championship seasons, how valuable were McFadz and Kelly? Their leadership and organisation alone was worth so much. Looking around our team right now, who offers that? Sheaf and when he’s not available, you need that. Eccles is experienced beyond his...

Even if we decide to sell Sheaf? I’m expecting that to happen this summer or next. You get Kyprianou for a fraction of that and you put a player like Browne next him, that could be a great bit of business. From highlights and description of his game that I’ve seen, he’s like-for-like.

See a trend here? Tories calling their Conversative government ‘socialist’ for lacking a conservative agenda. Likewise, you’ll have Starmer’s Labour government be branded ‘Tory-lite’ this time next year just as Tony Blair was. The ‘state’ is too big and public sector too unproductive for any...

He’s their captain and player of the season of one our playoff rivals. Proven at Championship level, he’s versatile and addresses a lack of experience that we need. Kelly, McFadz and Godden leaving in one season is a lot. They’re no longer up to standard but they out top 3 choices for captain...

I don’t think we’re signing an AM, two of the CMs we’re linked with (Rudoni & Browne) can play AM but are primarily CMs. As reported by our resident ITK, we’re likely to be moving to a 4-3-3 or 4-4-2.

You’ll be surprised. Robins has said we’ve lacked quality and quantity since Jan/Feb. 3 starters after mentioning this is tinkering around the edges. If we’re after ‘exciting’ talent, I could see there being up to 5-6 new starters. To try and put names and positions on it: - GK - CB - one of 2...

You’ll be glad to know Rudoni has played most his games at CM rather than AM this season. Looking at our targets, it’s interesting that Browne and Rudoni have both played DM, CM and AM this season. Like Eccles, they can all play anywhere because both have also appeared on the wings too.

Robins talks a lot about giving players a rest and has gone in depth on this in interviews previously. It’s more likely the accumulation of matches because we don’t have the numbers.

I’d rather have McCallum than Bidwell and there’s no way Bidwell is willing to be a bench option. He’s 31-32 and his contract is expiring, if we can get cash in for him, it makes sense for both parties.
