Just thought I’d raise the money issue here. We received between 1.2 million - 1.5 for McNulty. Barnsley just sold a proven striker at this level and one who scored 12 goals in the championship for a million to Millwall

Don’t get me wrong I’m concerned that our goalkeeper is continuing to make the same mistakes he made last season, and we seem like strangers to each other. I also think that we’ve signed too many players. Once they get used to each other I’ve no doubt we’ll be more creative. Going back a few...

Lot of knee jerk panicking in here. 4 games in... remember Barnsley in league one a few years back? Ended up getting promoted, I’m sure they were bottom 4 until January. Plymouth last season were bottom and went on a mad winning streak and ended up near the play offs I’m not saying we’re...

To anyone I’ve argued with championing O’Brien ahead of Burge... I’m sorry, Burge is the lesser of two evils We should have spent that 200k on Bakayoko on a new keePer

Difference is we were a championship side with a significantly bigger budget. Take the club’s dwindling income now and you’re just going to have to look at the best of non league

You could look at it this way. If McNulty stays and gets 1 goal in a league he’s been sketchy in before. No Championship side is going to touch him. We release him and he’s stuck in the lower leagues. McNulty left when his stock was high. He’s got a 4 year deal on I’d guess 10k a week. Makes...

Correct, but that’s why I said I’m theory. Football is risky. That’s the most sustainable model out there. The gamble is always gonna be there It’s possibly why we’ve signed about 6 non league players - the more you sign at little to no cost the more chance you’ve got of getting a gem. You...

Newcastle fans in general wind me up. Mike Ashley is making profit, but as a business owner that’s his perogative. He’s made sure they are premier league, or at least making sure they don’t spend more than one season in the Championship Their fans have real delusions of grandeur

I think the problem is, (Not necessarily Terry Gibson’s Perm) is the general football fan wants an owner to just be like Man City’s - plow money in and just go away if it’s not working. It’s a big business rather than football clubs nowadays and Football fans struggle in general to accept...

Not really, I suppose the theory was buy 4, sell 1, buy another 4 sell another etc. If all players are developed well then it’s a sustainable model - but again it’s not guarenteed to be suceessful

Can’t actually comment yet, as i haven’t seen him play. My brother who went, thought he was awful I’m waiting to see him first.. then I’ll make up my mind whether Robins has wasted money haha

I mean looking back - this has always been the original SISU directive. Ranson had them buy a number of upcoming players (Dann, Fox, Westwood, Gunarsson) develop them, then sell and reinvest in similar players. If you buy enough 1 or 2 sales out of 6/7 should keep the cycle going and in theory...

It’s kinda like blaming Paul Fletcher for getting 2-3 million from nowhere and Adams blowing it on McKenzie and Kyle

that isn’t an investment issue though is it. That was a mangement choice. The money was given to Robins he spent it on Bakayoko

You could easily sum up a lee Burge performance like this... and you’d give him a 7 O’Brien is much th same, but has kept two clean sheets. Deserves the place

Didnt we turn down a Liverpool and spurs bid earlier in the day?

Can’t comment on Oxford other than what I’ve heard. Robins seems to have gone scatter gun, I think he’s brought in a load of Players without thinking how he’s going to play them and how they fit into his system. I don’t doubt that he hasn’t scouted them, but it appears that he hasn’t...

We’ve probably spent close to that! You keep saying we haven’t invested. Your issue is what we’ve brought in, that’s not investment - that’s Robins. The first 3 games mean very little. just because Peterborough have won their first 2 games doesn’t mean they’ll do anything. Let’s re-assess...

I thought Diamond but - as said previously. When Jones is back where does he go? I was thinking Doyle Bayliss. Ogogo Andreu Probably would suit our strikers aswell - nobody out wide then

Didn’t he have a niggle on Saturday? Probably resting him. Considering his injury I doubt it’s possible for him to play 3 games a week at this point in time
