Momentum could’ve changed, but our away record was generally poor anyway despite a strong end. This was definitely a premature judgement, but I felt Rotherham would get relegated after we beat them 3-1. That said, they had a surprise result in them such as wins against Middlesbrough and QPR...

Rotherham had the 2nd or worst home record in the league and most of their games left we’re at home. So was ours and our home record was around 12th or 10th with a good record against top half teams. On top of this, Rotherham had fixture congestion and had to play a lot of games in a short...

Being consistently 6–9 pts above the the relegation zone isn’t exactly a relegation scrap. Rotherham having 3-4 games in hand made a lot of people paranoid on this board. The assumption was that they were going to win those games - despite losing the second most games in the league throughout...

Given our scenario and where both clubs have come from, Luton is a good mode to follow. Patience is key and I’m hopeful are young players, specifically Hamer, COH and Walker can move up another gear!

If we have better luck with injuries, I’m very confident we’ll be fine. Realistically, we were pretty safe last season save a 1-2 week scare. There are gaps in our team at this moment, but we’ve got 3-4 signings to come in. I’m confident Robins will address those needs. McCallum and Walker...

Anyone who has seen the Second XI will understand why we lost 5-0. It was an U23s team with a couple of first team in there.

Thankfully, the second XI we put out was very inexperienced and not many starters at all. Wilson, Shipley and Allen the senior pros...

I disagree with you, but respect your opinion. Ultimately, time will tell! Our squad is generally in a good place for where we’re at as a club. LWB is obviously a concern but can’t see that not being fixed.

We haven’t finished our recruitment. We may be yet be completing another signing for a fee. Our transfers are structured in instalments too, we’re still paying the money for Hamer and Walker. We’ve spent money on Sheaf and Gyo this summer too. Unlike previous season, we haven’t brought in any...

You get the feeling that this could be a moment where the mantle of ‘king’ is being passed from Lebron to Giannis. He’s had a great playoff I’m backing the Lakers to be strong next year, and the Nets will be a bigger threat if they stay healthy. If Giannis can beat them again, that would be...

We’re not done with our recruitment so judgement at this point is flawed. Take Bright for example, he’s probably going to be an X-factor signing or a bust. Waghorn has been a solid, 10 goal season for long while before last season. I don’t know much about Moore, but the consensus at Sheffield...

We’re barely half way through our recruitment and the outlook in the transfer market is affecting all but the very elite clubs. Signing Gyokeres and Waghorn I think is a very good return. Will withhold judgement on Moore and as for Bright I don’t think we sign him if finances were better. Very...

We have one of the youngest teams in the Championship. We need a couple of experienced players. McFadz, James and Kelly’s leadership was indispensable to our campaign last year and we need to add to that. Hopefully, Moore and Waghorn will provide that. We plan on signing 2-4 new players, two of...

Andy Carroll once gave me a J-bomb in the Colly, his entourage sure knows how to party. He’s past it now, could’ve been a really good Prem striker. I think he’ll struggle in this market!

Before Rotherham away, he was definitely an early POTY contender. Injuries, a change of system with wingbacks, and McCallum’s form resulting in him falling down the pecking order. Looked ok v Birmingham in the cup replay, but that’s about it from memory. We’ll ship him on, I’m sure he could...

Law of averages too. Every team is going to make mistakes. Remember when Man U spent £8m on Bebe? Complete bust. Yet, it’s not a lot of money to them and potential reward outweighed the risks. When we signed Hyam, did anyone think he’d be good enough to start for us in the Championship? I know...

Waghorn’s ‘first words’ video after signing mentioned that’s what he likes to do and that’s what the manager wanted to do. Looking COH’s impact last season, pressing from the front is something we’d like to do. Injuries and lack of squad depth probably impacted our ability to implement that...

Saudi (Italy joint bid) and China likely to host the 2030 tournament too... I understand the need to broaden the appeal of the game... but I’m not down for appeasing dictators/authoritarian regimes. Last week was a stain on English football, but v specific circumstances unlikely to be repeated...

Fair point. Having been to a Lazio v Roma game, I’ve seen them in action. There are a variety of factors at play here, another probably being that the Met police probably hasn’t had to have dealt with anything remotely similar to last Sunday in a long time. I’d like to think it isn’t only...

No and he was great for us. That being said, if you’ve got a maverick who does whatever they want, doesn’t show up to team meets and skips training... They’re red flags. Back then, he was a loanee who was going back to Wolves and a high performer in a decent team (top half). Now, we’re probably...
