It doesn’t help than one of our best signings is injured and two of the others were on the bench, but yeah.

Which squads do you think we have similar quality players to?

How much is Charlie Austin on?

If he’s had more money we know from rumours he’d have been looking at players like Panzo at CB and a new GK, who knows what else? The fact is the team we put out yesterday isn’t much changed from the one we put out in L1: Marosi - Marosi Dacosta - Dabo (downgrade) Rose - Rose McFadz - Østigård...

Technically he’s miles ahead of Kelly Eccles or Allen. That’s about it though.

Id be open to it, and maybe stick Eccles in, but you’d lose a bit of drive in the middle.

Can't believe people are calling for Kelly, he's been dire since his return from injury and questionable before that at this level. James isn’t setting the world alight but he’s at least on the same mental level as the likes of O’Hare and Hamer. For me Walker has to start, probably with...

Who now he’s fit everyone is saying should start next game?

Do you think the squad Robins has compared to the division today is the same relative quality as Thorns in 2011?

But then we’re into the question of what would other loan signings have cost? Most seem to be at least as much as James and often with a hefty loan fee. Which loanee went to a club of our budget and status who would’ve improved us and cost the same or less than James?

For comparison, the Lammy report (just looking at justice): https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/643001/lammy-review-final-report.pdf

First time for everything

Not sure you can blame COVID when every team will have been dealing with that. I think a large part of it is experience at this level. The game is much faster than L1 and most of our squad haven’t played at this pace consistently before.

Thorn wasn’t the most successful manager in my lifetime. Comparing him to Robins is ridiculous even for you. And Robins is delivering on expectations, we aren’t in the relegation zone and everyone sensible on here was saying 21st would be a success come the end of the season. We are poor right...

What fees? A couple of hundred grand spread over who knows what with who know what clauses for a kid in Scotland? Look at what teams like Birmingham spent.

That’s the rumour. Though who knows. We didn’t have cash to spend to bring in permanent first teamers that’s for sure. Who knows what deal we got with James after he’d been dropped by Barnsley seemingly out the blue. I’d imagine a club is keener to let a player out if they’re dropped in Jan but...

What? Are you trying to say if we’ve got an average manager there’s no point in having a manager? And then is average is failure then there’s especially no point? What are you trying to say?

“find a par performing manager” “His record ... is typical of most managers” 🤔

Disagree, I think Hamer and Walker and O’Hare are all good signings. Reid was clearly only brought in in Jan because Giles asked to leave at the last minute, the original plan was for him to stay in Scotland until the summer. There was no transfer budget for immediate signings in Jan. that’s...
