Trust the process. If Robins is chilled out about the situation, it's usually a good sign.

Is that the international break?

The transfer fees aren't the only thing needed to operate a football team. We've presumably increased our payroll considerably and we were a loss making business before he took over. Besides, there's nothing wrong banking the money and either reinvesting in Jan and/or next summer. The journey...

Godden had an open goal… I’m sure even Godden would have the accountability to admit he should’ve buried that 9 times out of 10. Wright’s chance wasn’t an ‘easy’, he should’ve scored and lacked that finesse.

Exactly. Remember thinking against Reading (and Birmingham) at home that he'd knocked a few million off of his value. He scored a pen in both those games and genuinely could've had 5 or 6 from open play in those games. People just need to relax and trust the process.

Exactly, people pointing the finger at the striker are missing the root cause. We haven’t been creating that many clear cut chance. With the exception of Leicester away where we created many chances but did not take them.

We were the most direct team in the league last season…

Minimum, we need a CM and a CB. An extra striker would be ideal.

It’s no coincidence that we looked most dangerous against Leicester when Wright came on and before Hamer was substituted. Eccles and Sheaf are good, but on the current evidence, neither are ready to step up to Hamer’s level. I appreciate Sheaf is v good at what he does - one of the best in the...

Against Leicester, he did and his finish against Boro was v good. He’s a full international with a good goal scoring record in a respectable league. It’s 4 games in the season and the guy has just uprooted his life from Turkey and needs time to adapt to a new league, new team and new style of...

It is a bit of a trope that he is lazy. He worked hard yesterday and thought it was his best game for us - we just need to develop and coach him and he’ll be a good signing.

Give the guy time, Gyokeres was behind Biamou and Tyler Walker when we first signed him. Getting all of our players acclimatised to the Championship and our style of play will take time. We’ve lost our most creative player in Hamer and aren’t creating the chances for Godden, Wright or Simms...

Sakamoto will fill in at WB or in the AM slot in the box. He played well against Swansea, but what we needed was someone to link the strikers and midfield. We moved the ball better yesterday with Palmer and Ayari than we did with Sakamoto. Sakamoto did well in the wide spaces and dribbling the...

We’ve had a v difficult start to the season with a new team. That’s promising. We’ve got a lot of players new to the Championship - only Lati & Simms from our signings. Even Simms hasn’t had much game time since last Feb. Our team is a few signings away and we’re in a better spot a lot of...

We’re having lots of shots, but the only clear cut chance we had was Wright’s chance when Ayari put him through. I think Simms 1st half chance was also a similar situation. Ironically, it seems that we created the most big chances against Leicester and it’s the only game we’ve lost. We miss...

Decent result, the game got to a place where either team could’ve pinched it. Performance we were good, just lacking the final touch and we’re struggling to advance the ball to our strikers. That Hamer replacement is duly needed.

We look good today and fancy is for the win, our strong bench should make the difference and break the deadlock. 1-0, Simms or Wright to score.

Yes and you just have to make do. If we have to patient, then so be it. This is being billed as a 5 year process rather than a 1-2 year one. We’ve got COH and Allen to come back which will strengthen the overall squad. A lot of teams fall blunder into making signings to fill a gap rather than...

I’d rather get in 1-2 players than the 3 quoted if they’re well vetted players who will fit in with the culture and tactical style we play. Too many clubs make the mistake of panicking when they lose a key player. If Barnsley were trying to take the piss with Kitching and Styles, we on to the...

He’s 25 so 2-3 years until he hit his prime…
