I probably would’ve like to have seen him play a game or two before we loaned him out. That said, I trust MR and AV to develop this kind of talent well!

Sounded like the perfect Matchday experience until I read ‘vegan buffet’...

Considering Robins brought through Bayliss, Shipley and JP last season, I’d say yes. The statement that we’ve signed ‘sub standard’ players is unfair. Firstly, it’s still early doors in the season. Secondly, most of our players are young, around 21-23, so there’s a lot of developing left to do...

Our academies is one of the most productive in the country — see article on Tom Bayliss ‘one to watch’ thread. It’s good that he’s playing well for Tamworth, hopefully he can kick in and make a few appearances for us.

9 points minimum. Chaplin to become the messiah.

You’ve answered your own question. We put our best defender aerially in the area that was being targeted by ‘high balls’. Let’s be honest, Willis is scarcely a right back anyway, so does it really matter who got put where?

What are people’s actual expectations from this season? We have a team full of young players who will have off days. Patience is needed because consolidation is the target for this season. A few people comparing us with our fellow promoted teams — we’re all in a pretty similar position...

Thomas nor Stevenson has made a senior appearance for Leicester or Wolves. In fact, both were specifically signed for their U23s. Stevenson, if you remember, moved to Colchester on loan and managed to establish himself there as a bench warmer. In fairness to Stevenson, he wasn’t getting game...

He joined the ‘reigning champions’ U23s. From a professional standpoint, Thomas’ career has regressed, or at best, stagnated. He’s increased his wages, yes. Got an international call-up, yes. But, these are all short-term gains. With us, he was the main man, now he’s on the bench at Scunthorpe...

I’m sure I’ve seen Robins say somewhere that he’s offered Doyle a coaching role when he eventually retires. He just has no plans to retire yet and he could easily last another 2-3 seasons in L2 if he wanted to. He’s a consummate professional and has averaged over 40 games every season since he...

Involved in both goals v Oxford too. He’s a player that is underrated and is still developing, he may even cut it in the Championship one day.

No matter bad it got this season, I always felt if Robins could’ve almost turned around our terrible season under Mowbray/Venus/Slade, I have absolute certainty he’d do better with this lot.

Yet people seem to like to cast their doubts on Robins. Right now, I do not think there is a manager who get more out of the club than Robins. The board seem to back him to hilt and after promotion, his position amongst the players ought to be v strong too. He’s bought most of them in and he...

In order for this team to really compete, we need a few more experienced heads in there. Right now, it’s Doyle leading a team kids, if we’re being harsh. However, a lot of these kids are really talented and the future bodes well if we can keep ahold of them. I believe that a few of the players...

I play Call of Duty, doesn’t mean I can hack it in the Special Forces...

I’ve said regularly I was ‘underwhelmed’ when we got him instead of Chaplin, which I suppose has attracted more heat on Bakayoko because he’s not seen as a first choice target. Walsall fans seemed somewhat mixed, some felt he was on the verge of a breakthrough and has good attribute whereas you...

I’m not arguing that he’s been playing well, I’m arguing against premature judgements a significant amount of people have been making. Our team is young and naive, they will make mistakes and we will get frustrated with them. Not every player you sign is a readymade star either. The recruiting...

You’ve barely seen Bakayoko, he’s made 7 appearances and started about 2-3 games. Just a gentle reminder that McNulty all the in-house SBT experts didn’t believe McNulty was a ‘natural’ goal scorer...

The kind of fans that were calling for us to sign Eisa, a signing that was never going to happen... Ask Portsmouth how that fruitless task ended? They alienated Chaplin, weren't going to end up letting him go until they got a replacement. That replacement ended up being a loan signing instead of...

They also haven’t beaten us when we’ve been at home since 1923. That will probably end this weekend, however.
