I said he’s the most recent example where he has bettered himself.

More often is the case nowadays that when players leave, they often find their careers take backwards steps. McCallum is the most recent example I can think of someone ‘bettering’ themselves after leaving.

Our away form was the 8th best in the division and it was actually our home form that lagged behind. Our home form in 20/21 season was marginally better despite our blistering start. We dropped a lot of silly points at home and if that’s tidied up, I’m confident we can improve on last seasons...

After 2019, the Tories looked set for another decade in power and they’re complacent now. If Labour could make real inroads into Scotland, there’s a pathway to power for them. Would rely on Lib Dems making gains in Tory held areas whilst holding off the Green vote. Knowing the left, it would...

At least two of the teams going down will go back up. Their spending will be subsidised by parachute payments. Watford and Norwich are typical yo-yo teams who are too good for the Championship but not good enough for the Prem. As for Leeds, I think they’ll get automatic promotion. If Burnley...

Not necessarily. It really depends on your recruitment. Brentford sold Watkins for ~30m and replaced him with Toney for a third of that. Toney has probably done better at Brentford than Watkins which is some achievement!

To support what you say, of all the games he’s scored this season, we’ve only lost one game where Gyo has scored. That game was Huddersfield (H). Personally, I don’t think Gyo is ready for the next level, yet. For one more season, we’re the ideal place for him to Continue his development.

The comparisons between Sol Campbell, Lampard and Gerrard is not really helpful. Gerrard and Lampard spent time coaching at Liverpool and Chelsea before getting their jobs and ultimately had the success to justify their appointments. Campbell hasn’t done anything in his managerial career to get...

Personally, I want Notts County or Wrexham to get promoted via the playoffs. Please to see Stockport back up in L2 after a tough journey.

In what way? I’m sure Hyam stacks up higher than a lot of centre backs in the league. He’s a Championship standard CB for sure.

So have we technically won it then? Ukraine was always going to win it this year and I’m glad for them!

Any insights to whether they are permanent or loan signings?

Badlan had said he’d been tracking Kastaneer for a long time. That really should’ve been a class signing but clearly his mentality just isn’t there!

You can’t plan everything to a tee. The best organisations are dynamic and flexible and Kane came in a did a decent job when required. So, if we have to offload him after 12 months, that’s absolutely fine. One thing that baffles me is that a lot of people seem to have lot to say about the ‘bad’...

Kane was always a middling Championship player and someone to give us another option. Bidwell, however, has an impressive track record in the Championship. Personally, I think he’ll come good next season.

5 goals were penalties. His goals per minute was slightly better than Biamou’s. I got that. I’m addressing the points people are making about using your ‘best players’. JCH wasn’t then, and wouldn’t start in our current team now. I liked JCH as a player. But MR clearly seen had a reason to...

Fundamentally wrong? That’s quite the indictment. I’m under the impression that JCH wasn’t a good fit in our squad personality wise and he certainly didn’t really fit in with our system. It’s absolutely a justification to let a talented player go. Something Robins has rightly prioritised is the...

I’d understand the points a bit more had JCH surpassed us and that he was a missed opportunity. What actually happened was that the season after he left, we won the league. After that, we were the only promoted team to avoid relegation and this season we finished 12th and flirted with the...

JCH wasn’t anywhere near our best player at the time. Would JCH add value to our current team? He’s not better than Gyo or Godden despite his achievements after he left us.

I honestly think MR had hopes for JJ and still rates him. He wouldn’t make the comment he did after Huddersfield away otherwise. Ultimately, for most of the season were in and around the playoffs. Therefore, not a good position to play him back to fitness nor loan him out because of our depth...
