If it's a tear hopefully it's a Grade 1 rather than a 2 or 3. Would be the difference between a week or two out injured compared to several months.

People forget that Dabo's discipline was dreadful during the first half of the season. It must be something to do with European football... He settled down though, as I'm sure Hamer will.

First half he looked great on the ball, moved up the pitch well and made a few decent passes. Second half he was poor and looked lethargic but we can't berate him for being played in an uncomfortable position where his weaknesses are bound to be highlighted. He's at his best when played at AM...

Marosi - 6. Personally I thought he should've done better for their second goal. Seemed to hesitate when Kalas made contact with the ball. Other than that I thought he performed well. Shot stopping and distribution were both fine. Pask - 6. I don't think he's the answer at RB. He had promising...

Plenty of positives to take from the game. Not sure the answer is new signings as some have suggested. Seems to be the same old faces panicking on previous threads jumping the gun once again. Robins did say in his interview yesterday that we're probably a month off where we're supposed to be...

Not all that surprising really if you look at their current financial situation. Broadcasting revenue accounted for 82% of their total turnover in the Premier League. With no money from ticketing, the drop in commercial revenue, sponsorship and of course the Premier League TV money, their...

We have a lot of talent coming through, especially in the academy, so there's no sense in bringing needless signings ahead of our own homegrown players, as that will only serve to stunt their development. Agree with your view on Bremang. He's still young but I'm unsure whether he will have the...

Slightly left field as it's not improving the first team per say, but I'd quite like to see a few more additions to the U23s. Over the past 3 seasons the backroom staff have done a fantastic job of bringing in young unknowns and developing them into first team regulars. E.g. Hyam, McCallum and...

Which reports? And please don't say the ones from 'EFL Zone' ;) I assure you, if Robins caught whiff that a potential target had issues with coming here, I can almost guarantee he wouldn't be here.

If true, I think it's a shrewd move bringing Sheaf in on a loan with an option to buy. It's been well documented that the EFL have implemented a salary cap for all their League One and Two, with League One in particular being restricted to a fixed £2.5m spend on bonuses, wages, agent fees and...

This is from the Coventry Telegraph in 2012, hardly a source of accurate knowledge but it also claims here £100k rising to £300k. https://www.coventrytelegraph.net/sport/football/football-news/lukas-jutkiewicz-details-behind-deal-3031243 These figures are also what I heard at the time of him...

Don't forget Lukas Jutkiewicz! I think we bought him off Everton for around the £100k mark, rising to £300k after a certain amount of years, and then sold him in a deal worth up to a reported £2.3m. Disastrous timing when he was sold but a great deal from a financial point of view.

It sounds incredibly dull but I feel a proportion of the money earned from the Wilson deal should be put towards ensuring the financial sustainability of the club this season and plugging the revenue gap left by the drop in crowds, sponsorship, food and beverage, hospitality etc. The timing of...

It does seem that we're following the Brentford model - which for the club has generated substantial earnings from transfers over the past five years, believed to be around £120m. It's certainly a breath of fresh air when compared to our so-called previous 'transfer policies' in the past. If...

Personally I can't see how opinions on a Instagram account bare more weight than those of Mark Robins, an actual football manager with an excellent record in the transfer market.

I certainly think he's a replacement for Kelly long term, but unsure whether he'll take his shirt straight off the bat. I think Robins yesterday made reference to how taxing this season is likely to be on Kelly, essentially inferring how difficult it may be for him to cope with the congested...

Perhaps reading comments such as this is what gave him the giggles at training yesterday? ;)

Well I suppose I could write an essay explaining why it's ridiculous to have a minor meltdown over the fact that another team's player is taking too long to sign, but if your posts on this thread are anything to go by I feel it might be lost on you... ;)

He's laughing?! How dare he.

If we're going by the impact a player has had on the side since Robins returned then Kelly wins it. Last season especially demonstrated how invaluable he is to the side, both on and off the field. But I must say, in terms of quality, Dabo deserves a notable mention. As I'm still to this day...
