To be fair if we got promoted we’d be looking at better players. I’ve seen nothing from O’Hare to suggest he’s a premiership player.

That’s a great win. Reading this thread back it’s unbelievable. Watching live I struggle to see what those posters moaning early on were watching! Knee jerk is never the way to go.

I don’t remember him scoring.

He’s been good but you do have the recognise that Maidstone and Rotherham allowed him endless time on the ball.

Got to be 8’s all round for a 5-0. Lesser discussed highlights for me were Kitching’s distribution, the amount of ground Bidwell covered and actually scoring from a set piece. Rotherham were quite possibly the worst side I’ve ever seen.

Crikey, Simms must think this is a tough school. Two hat tricks in just over a week and he’s being criticised…………….although his first touch back to goal is shit.

What a truly bizarre half of football. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a team as poor as Rotherham.

I think it becomes strategic. Use the money to buy 2-3 top championship level players. Take the parachute payment and invest again. Then try and repeat until you can assemble a squad to one day consolidate. It’s quite a long process but less risky than just going for it.

It’s a good point. I’ve really enjoyed the last two seasons and think we’ve done unbelievably well. Back at a decent level of football and up amongst it. With the scenarios we’ve faced it’s a minor miracle. We’ve gone from being loan based to building a squad. For years spending money on...

Losing O’Hare is not a disaster. He doesn’t impact games enough a lot of the time. Palmer is an interesting one. Undoubted ability and looks good on the ball but 9 times out of 10 has no end product or makes the wrong decisions. For me he’s best impacting from the bench.

If you assume those rumoured to be leaving do I think we need a proper first choice 9 as priority. Simms as squad depth. Next priority is a left back to ensure we don’t rely on Dasilva. I’d then try for two midfielders. One akin to O’Hare and one more like Kelly. If there’s anything left some...

Simms has got some good goals and looked better recently. But it’s beyond argument that he needs a lot of work still. His first touch is absolutely terrible as is his link play. People rightly say he’s better with the ball in front of him - correct. But as a 9 he has to be able to hold it up. Up...

I quite like the insights and hope they carry on. If you’re West Brom or any other team you’ve decided on your team days before matchday. Knowing the team early makes absolutely zero difference. And let’s be honest it’s only a choice between two formations.

To qualify there is no one who has done more for us than Robins and as far as I’m concerned he has a job for life. But I think he’s been guilty of overthinking selection in this congested period. We’ve surely established the following by now. 1) Kitching and Thomas are our best centre halves...

Have none of the coaching staff realised the Simms can’t receive the ball in to his feet. We’d be better off with Palmer in that role, receiving it and playing off him. We seem to be finding formations that we don’t have players for. Forcing it.

No aggression. Simple.

Summer 24 will possibly see Kelly, Godden Allen leave. I don’t think we need a keeper. If you secure Binks you have 4 CH’s. I’d like us to sign a lb if Bidwell goes. Two mf using Kelly and Allen wages. Then just a cf to replace Godden as we already have emc in addition to what we’ve got. If...

I’d have to go for Hutchinson. Especially in our current system. Gillespie was a Rolls-Royce - even second time around.

Couldn’t give a shit how involved he is if he keeps getting hat-tricks

Torp looked next level to me. What a find
