In fairness, I do agree that the home team should make some cash off of this. Especially the smaller clubs - Bolton made more money off their away fixture than Colchester did. For us, we’ll have 2 away games the club will make money from, this is good. But, when bigger clubs start playing us...

The thought of using Kastaneer as leverage for discount on Shankland is hilarious. A win-win deal for us if that is remotely true. I don’t know who/what your sources are. Whilst I’d like to believe it, I’d be surprised if we made a move for him this season having just bought in Walker.

Promoted teams will almost always have the smallest budgets in the league, and 1-2 of them survive most years. They have to adapt to survive in this league in the long term. To use us as an example, we’ve built a young squad for quite cheap. If we were to stay up, our budget will have to...

Whilst we like to play from the back, we’re not exactly a team that runs up the possession stat. For possession, we were about mid table last night and on Friday we won with 38% possession. Against Barnsley, if they’re going to press all day, we’ll probably let them have the ball and hit them...

That leaves us with 2 strikers for the season...

Admittedly, we're all trying to second guess MR's thinking. My view is that MR probably wants the flexibility to go 3-4-3 if need be, especially with Jobello to eventually come back in. The 3-4-2-1 we play is very flexible anyway, Allen and O'Hare regularly pop up in wide channels, so it's not a...

Giles will start v Barnsley, and probably the following game before McCallum starts.

Again, you’re not wrong. Last season, all of our wingers were injured so we didn’t have that option. I’m sure Robins will be looking to give himself as many options as possible.

Agreed. But, we need options if we need to change things up. We can’t just rely on one system and the same personnel otherwise we run the risk of being found out tactically.

Playing Giles at LW wouldn't be playing him out of position, it's his natural position and is being re-coached as a LWB.

It's Dabo all over again...

Giles has got off to a good start, but Robins wouldn’t have chased a player he very clearly favours to sit on the bench. My guess is that McCallum sits the first game of two out on the bench before being a regular starter. I don’t know what MR is thinking, but this could be a v good signing...

Looks like our social media team beat him to the punch if it is McCallum! Hopefully he’s running another story on us!

Why not send him back to a club he knows well? Realistically, McCallum isn’t going to start week in, week out for a club chasing a return to the Prem. The likelihood was that he was going to get a shipped out on loan and if we wanted him, then it makes sense for all parties involved.

Giles is a LW turned LWB, not LB turned LWB. It’s not like Stokes and Haynes who were both LBs and neither had any really good attacking qualities. Granted, I’m sure some of our posters ‘in the know’ reckoned Wolves loaned him to us because we play with WBs. Giles probably good fit in...

It makes perfect sense for both teams. Just like Maddison, Norwich loaned him out before his break out season. McCallum will get to play Championship football in a system and players he is familiar in higher division. We get a position of need and a familiar face. This opens up the possibility...

We’re at point now where you’d have to be completely unaware of what’s around you if you haven’t heard of the movement. I guess their manager had a point when he asked ‘how long are we going to do this for?’ If teams want to take a knee, Let them. If one team doesn’t want to, why would it stop...

Skimmed QPR’s forum and they are up in arms over how bad their defending in. Quite a few people questioning their manager too.

You can never stop trying to improve the team. I imagine we’ll bring in at least one loan before the window shuts.
