His terrible tactics yesterday don’t suggest otherwise TBF. If you’re that scared of a mid table Champ side when down to ten men the PL is going to be a shock. The point about Kompany is valid too.
Does Mowbray know you’ve moved on BTW?
If I was Robins I’d be saying to Doug that if he wants a cup run he’s going to have to stump up for a couple of extra players TBH. Maybe if we beat Sheffield Wed he’ll break out the chequebook.
Worst case scenario is he breaks down and we likely tie him to a short cheap deal. He’s not the type to think about worst case though IMO and will be happy to see where he is in May.
Palmer was great first half, direct, linked with Cal well. Second half and a bit towards the end of the first, they seems to hit him earlier and it meant he couldn’t get into his flow. Should have come off earlier IMO.
I think he wants to collect offers and see where we end up this season. Even if he wanted to stay there’s an argument that says back yourself to make yourself worth more in the next four months.
Does feel like we’re so close to having a starting XI with maybe one or two top class additions next season and having to find a new AM as well is an unnecessary distraction.
Still think he won’t make a decision until the end of the season though.
