Correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m sure Kelly was injured for a large part of the season. Leaving Doyle as the only leader in the squad and only defensive minded midfielder we had. It’s no coincidence that we’ve been more resilient and cohesive now we have two leadership figures in the team in...

For what it’s worth, I think the time has come for something new. We’re in a new, more positive chapter of our history (at least on the pitch) and the Trust, to me, is tone death (/wilfully ignorant) to the political situation between Wasps, ourselves and the council. Fresh perspectives and new...

That is interesting. You have a lot of our fans who attribute our success on purely MR and the team (in spite of, not because of SISU). Whilst Robins has praised the board every step of the way so far. I will say that the alienation of the fanbase is SISU’s fault.

That’s good to hear! If things go well and we return to the RICOH, do you and/or Mark have plans to engage with the club on a frequent basis?

Is there the possibility of kick starting these meetings on a video conferencing platform?

I broadly agree. However, McFadz is getting on a bit, and the Championship is a quicker league than League 1. His leadership is instrumental and is definitely worth keeping on. Central defence is an area I think we need to strengthen because we only have Pask behind the current starters. Even...

Walsh's goal was fantastic. Allen's goal was a great team goal and as SBD mentioned, Biamou's goal was great technique!

I was a little nipper when these decisions were taken, so thanks for the clarification. Admittedly, I thought your point was regarding relegation from Championship to League 1.

Don't really understand how this works, so would appreciate it if you could clear this up. For the benefit of the forum too!

I suppose our situations were quite similar in the Championship, but they ended up with a philanthropic, multi-millionaire owner, and we ended up with a hedge fund. In hindsight, the club needed to cut costs because we weren't sustainable and this is inevitably unpopular because...

I know he was born in Brazil, but if he’s spent a lot of in The Netherlands, there’s a good chance he already knows English. The Dutch speak English v well and the articles suggest it’s been a career goal of Hamer’s to play in England. Hoping he’s done the work already!

I wouldn’t estimate the value of having a long lay off. Your point made me think of something I hadn’t considered: how long of a break will the teams get between the end of this season and the end of next? The lack of a good break could seriously impact teams with injuries, fatigue and so on.

Shame, was hoping to vote Biamou for his winner v Bolton...

It is different, but Jodi Jones used to play as a 10 as a youth, if I recall correctly. The system we play could be adapted to incorporate either 1 or 2 wingers in the two behind the striker. It will benefit us having added pace, and that role is pretty ideal for wingers as their defensive...

For me, the 1-0 win over Wolves was a great game. Topped off with a last minute penalty save! Although we lost, losing 4-2 against Southampton (relegation year) was an entertaining game.

I’ll be honest here, I thought Kastaneer was going to be a v good signing. Judging from the various comments about him from @better days - he just didn’t seem apply himself at all. (Please correct me if that’s not an unfair characterisation) I only asked the latter friend in September when I...

He was with the team that came bottom in Eredivise. A weird coincidence I had: Shortly after we signed him, I was in an Uber on my way home from work and the driver happened to be a Breda fan, I asked about Kastaneer and he responded negatively. I also have an old Uni mate who supports...

The Eredivisie has some good teams in it. Plenty of players have shown themselves capable of making the transition from Dutch football to English football. Very much a focusing on the Prem, but you’ve got RVP, Suarez, Erikson, Kuyt, Wjinaldum and so on. That said, Kastaneer was playing in the...

On the surface, this could like a seriously good signing.

Robins seems to see something in him, and is obviously hedging his bets on unlocking his potential. I’m not going to read too much into this, but he performed quite well v Birmingham (A), so he may be of use to us. Final point, we need a bigger squad in the Championship, and having Baka as a...
